   The DHCP client acquires an IP address from the DHCP server. During DHCP lease acquisition, the SBC provides the DHCP server with its hostname, which is set to the SBC node's serial number. If your network's DHCP and DNS servers have Dynamic DNS configured properly, the DHCP server will inform the DNS server that the SBC is reachable via its default hostname (i.e., the SBC's serial number). For more information, refer to Managing the DHCP Client.
