    Include Hostname in DHCP Request

    Select Include Hostname in DHCP Request to include a hostname in a DHCP lease for a requesting device. This feature is disabled by default.

  5. Select the OK button located at the bottom right of the screen to save the changes. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
