Terminology
Domain Suffix — Includes all labels to the right of the unique host name in a fully qualified domain name assigned to an IP address. For example, in the fully qualified domain name “device53.ever- green.trees.org”, the domain suffix is “evergreen.trees.org”, while “device53” is the unique (host) name assigned to a specific IP address.
Fully Qualified Domain Name — The sequence of labels in a domain name identifying a specific host (host name) and the domain in which it exists. For example, if a device with an IP address of 10.10.10.101 has a host name of device53 and resides in the evergreen.trees.org domain, then the device’s fully qualified domain name is device53.evergreen.trees.org and the DNS resolution of this name is 10.10.10.101.
