Guys this might be a stupid question but as I haven't had a chance to see any cisco routers or switches in a working environment but I've often wondered if you use the same domain name as in active directory.
Lets say I'm setting up ssh on a router and the company name is Acme Inc. and in AD it's either Acme.com or Acme.local, would you use the same name on your cisco routers?
username cisco password 0 cisco
ip domain-name acme.local
Are there any reasons why i should or shouldn't use the company's registered name?
Or do i want to keep the two completely seperate ?

Typically you would want them to be the same.We cannot have a superior democracy with an inferior education system!

I always make it sure that my domain-name in cisco devices are the same with my internal domain name because I am also adding the FQDN of the cisco device in my DNS for SSH and HTTP/s access....
