Not sure why you would ever need this, but the hostname would be the Base Station Name of your AirPort Extreme followed by ".local".


For example, the name of my AirPort Extreme is AirPort Extreme


The hostname would be AirPort Extreme.local


If you could provide more details on why the AirPort Extreme hostname might be needed, maybe that would provide a better clue for what you are trying to accomplish. For example, the set up instructions for a network device might also need to know the IP Address of the AirPort Extreme on the local network.
