How to see hostnames in reports?

I have an XG210 running at a small business.  They are interested in receiving reports weekly of traffic, and the request is for hostnames to be visible in the reports.  I have been scowering the forums trying to determine the best way to go about this, but I am more confused in doing so.  Can someone please help me understand the best method for getting hostnames instead of IP addresses?

  • I used to see hostnames in the reports but never had users set up. I thought all I did was to make sure that the primary (or secondary DNS might work too not sure) for your endpoint and servers is set to the LAN ip of the firewall. Wouldn't this make the devices auto register wiIh the xg? I had this but when I rebuilt dhcp I forgot to hand out xg IP as a DNS server. I aim to fix mine soon too
  • Thank you for your reply.  I am still fairly new to sophos, so what you are asking, I don't have answers for.  Can you please explain a bit more?  What AD features can I use / should be set up?

  • The auto register is only the IP address, not the name of the device, not the user name unless you are using AD authentication to access the internet via the XG.
