Node name: What's the maximum length allowed?
I need to deal with the hostnames of AWS that are horrendously long. Can anybody tell me the maximum length allowed for the name of a node on the BIG-IP, respectively for v10.2.4, v11.3.0, and v11.6.0?
I knew of problems with long names with earlier versions, and I want to be sure that I am not running up against any limits specific to BIG-IP now, whether in relation to performance or displaying in the Configuration Utility.
I have read of a new feature of node names being resolved dynamically for validation, which suggests that BIG-IP can handle the maximum length allowed under the regimes of the DNS.
