Name resolution on the dashboard

Name resolution on the dashboard

Hello,

How can I get the Dashboard to shows switch names instead of IP's? I don't have DNS resolution on my network equipment so can it just insert the system name instead of the IP? Running EMC 7.0.5.12

Thanks

I think it's because the dashboard is more like a report - in that case a pre-defined one and the settings for the names do not apply to them .... but I'd be wrong 

So this seems to be an issue with the dashboard not being able to use Nicknames or System Names.

Yes, and I just realized that the ones that don't have an A record in DNS only show IP address.

Do you have your switches populated within your DNS server? If so and you have DNS resolution turned on that would make sense. I don't have my switches in DNS so name resolution won't help me unless I create a Host file on the server.
