Domain Name Local Ip. It will never be configured as a FQDN and as such your custom local names will never conflict with existing external addresses eg. Now if we check show cdp neighbors on R2 we see that R1 has a domain name appended to it.
A domain is usually run by a domain server its not something intended for small local networks. There are three boxes on this page. It allows users to specify an IP address to use for a hostname or domain name without checking DNS.

Metaphorically it is very similar to how you would scroll to a contact in your cell phone rather than manually dialing the person by entering their full phone number. Localhost also plays a role in the hosts file. Something like BobsShop But with a domain each workstation logs on to the domain with the permission of the domain server. In my case I have the same PC hardware with Ubuntu 2004 that has 1 Bind9 for my DNS server and 2 Apache for my proxy server.
