Discovery LMS 3.2 By ICMP

Question

Hello,
I have discovererd devices through icmp as i was facing problems with cdp,i was not able to discover, After discovering by ping (icmp) the devices in DCR are updated by IP address instead of hostname. I have records in DNS. I have not put any  records in hosts file of LMS server locally.
What i have to do for proper name display

Answer 1

The most important setting while configuring discovery is the Global Settngs page. In global setting if you need the display of devices in DCR once discovered with hostname, you have to configure Preffered DCR Display Name parameter as Hostname.
Global Settings
Preferred DCR Display Name
  IP Address
  Host Name
  FQDN
DCR Administration Settings
           Update DCR Display Name
Select a Default Credential Set:No Default Policy Configuration
E-mail Notification
  E-mail:
Preferred Management IP
  Use LoopBack Address
  Resolve by Name
  Resolve by SysName
  None
Add Discovered Devices to a Group
Add Discovered Devices to a Group
Group Name:
Rest it should be able to do it itself, if other pre-reqs are fine like DNS configuration, both ways.
-Thanks
