Specifying Domain Name Delimiters
A delimiter is the character that separates a subscriber username from the domain name. Delimiters are commonly used for domain name parsing or stripping. You can specify a maximum of eight delimiters that the router uses to recognize domain names for a domain map. If you do not configure any delimiters, the router uses the @ character by default.
For example, your network might include the subscribers bob@abc.com, pete!xyz.com, and maria\pqr.com. In this case, you configure the router to recognize the characters @, !, and \ as delimiters.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when specifying delimiters:
- You cannot use the semicolon (;) as a delimiter.
- If you configure optional delimiters, you must also specify the @ character (the default delimiter) if you want to continue to use it as a delimiter.
- If you configure optional delimiters and then unconfigure them, the router sets the domain map delimiter back to the default @ character.
To configure domain name delimiters for domain maps:
- Specify that you want to configure domain attributes.[edit]user@host# edit access domain
- Specify the characters you want to use as delimiters.
Do not include spaces between the delimiters.[edit access domain]user@host# set delimiter [delimiter-character]
