    hi,

    i have switches which get their ip from dhcp and since switches can not update dns servers {as far as i know} changing the host primary hostname will not work.

    any possible solution ?

      Hi!

      Maybe DHCP server is able to update DNS? Otherwise the only external solution I can see is to write a program which will get information from DHCP server somehow and update primary host name/address in NetXMS. Another option may be to add a feature to network discovery in NetXMS to try MAC address matching for newly discovered devices, and if there are already node in database with same MAC address, but different IP address, assume IP address change.

      Best regards,
      Victor
