unique naming policy can optionally be assigned to each device type. When you create a
device (allocate and IP Address), the system can optionally autogenerate the next available host
name based on the policies you have established.

Field
Description
Free Text
Static text that is used during the generation of the policy.
IPv4 – Zero Filled
A dynamically generated component that is the IPv4 Address of a fixed sized,
padded with zeros, without the dotted decimal notation. For example;
10.0.0.3 would generate the string 010000000003
198.200.121.2 would generate the string 198200121002
10.0.0.3 would generate the string 010000000003
198.200.121.2 would generate the string 198200121002
IPv4 – Dash Separated
A dynamically generated component that is the IPv4 Address, with dashes
instead of dotted decimal notation. For example;
10.0.0.3 would generate the string 10-0-0-3
198.200.121.2 would generate the string 198-200-121-2
10.0.0.3 would generate the string 10-0-0-3
198.200.121.2 would generate the string 198-200-121-2
Incrementor
A dynamically generated global incrementor specifically unique for this
