Has anyone tried this?
I can see it having some pluses. Especially for mass configuration, and deploying firmware upgrades.
But, I set option 12 in DHCP “Host Name” as it does not seem to work.
Am I missing something?I also added option 167 to my DHCP server and added the option to the reservation I have setup for a terminal I am testing on, and that hasn’t helped either.
You have to create reservations for each client on your DHCP server and inside these reservations you can use the option tag 12.
Make sure that on the CE device in the network setting “Accept name via DHCP” is enabled.

I have created a reservations for the particular client I am using, in testing. Yes, option tag 12 is set, as well the “Accept Name Via DHCP” in enabled on the client.
And it is still not working?
Are you sure the client is getting the reservation at all?CG
The client gets the reservation.
Maybe I am misunderstanding what this option does.
Should it rename the client in Control Panel | Network, or is it simply a DNS entry name? Because the entry does exist in my DNS now.
