No Hostname in the tab clients

JohanHendrikx — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 20:15:45 GMT

In use VX9000, firmware 7.6.3.0-012R.
How can I achieve that the hostname is also entered in the clients tab at hostname.

Why can't I see which AP the client is connected to.

Would be a good addition

Johan, if you are referring to Statistics → RF Domain OR AP → Wireless Client

and the hostname column:

Hostnames ARE populated here. Not all devices will have a hostname though.

If this is NOT where you are referring to, then please explain.

In Statistics I have the options SmartRF, Wireless, Devices. Clients and Sites. No option RF Domain OF AP.

When I browse to Statistics→ Clients - RF Domain I see only MAC addresses. No hostnames.

in the tab Clients → RF Domain I also see clients and ther are no hostnames. I assume thats hostname is DNS name (?)

Johan,

This is what I see:

The hostname will either be what has been assigned directly on the WiNG controller or the hostname that exist on the device itself (however it got it). It’s possible though that a device may have no assigned hostname though.

This is what I see. Devic is in DNS an device has a hostname.

Johan,

As a quick test, use the CLI and run the command:

show wireless client detail on <rfdomain>

The very first line of output will the the “ADDRESS” information. This row should include both the MAC and the hostname information. See if the hostname is shown here.

In the row ADDRESS has only the mac addresses. no hostname information
