Enabling dynamic hostname exchange
ISIS-SPB uses a 6-byte system ID to represent a node in the network. This type of ID is difficult for administrators to identify devices when they examine ISIS-SPB adjacencies, FDB entries, and LSDB entries.
Dynamic hostname exchange enables you to assign a symbolic hostname to each SPBM node. ISIS-SPB advertises this information in the Dynamic hostname TLV in LSPs to remote LSDBs.
