W-LAN Client Names

Christian Mayer1

Hi,

once more question:

In UTM i had named all my Wlan Clients but in XGS 18.5 i can`t do it names are also not displayed for Static DHCP entrys.

Is there someting i missed?

Same Problem was discused in this thread:

    The dhcp server on the XG is a lot simpler than the utm. If you are not using an AD you will need to look at things like clientless users and users.

    Thank u for your answer,

    already tested this, but in Clientless Users i can only Bind Names to an IP not an MAC adress the Devices i have to give names are also not bind to users. 

    If i Do it anyway (because of Static entry in DHCP i can assign it to an IP) the name is also not displayed. 

    For example a WLAN Camera is pointed to an production process, i want th give the MAC adress of it the name of the Production process in the first Collumn of WLAN Client List.

    also tryed to enter the devices mac adress into the MAC-Host List but no success with it.

    You MAC address devices must have an IP address which using the DHCP function can be tied and then tied to a device name in clientless users. The use of clientless users and fixed IPP addressing does work I have my internet access based on fixed IP and clientless/groups. No group membership means no internet access. The devices details do show in WLAN GUI tabs.
