Re: Update device name

I successfully added some devices. Then I noticed that they had no name, only their IP as device name. So I added the corresponding entries to my DNS server.

Unfortunately, NAV has kept the IP as name and does not update the device name field automatically.

Can anyone help me on this issue ?

Hello Cedric,

as long as your IP addresses have the proper PTR records in DNS, NAV will update their names as part of the ipdevpoll dnsname job. Please verify that you can look up the IP addresses using the `host` command on your NAV server, and that ipdevpoll is running correctly.
