dhcp question #2236
Description
Any suggestion for whatever is causing this:
the 112 is a litter robot
the 126 is a Wyze bulb
the 129 is a Google Hub
Is the only answer to static assign and then name them?
(trying to clean up my 'Server Failures' and failed reverse dns is an 'easy win' category..
Option 61 is checked in that scope, unchecked; it didn't seem to make a difference.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for asking. Assuming that the issue is about missing hostname for those devices. The DHCP server assigns a domain name only for clients which provide a hostname. So, if a device does not have a hostname configured or does not have such an option to do so, it wont report the hostname to the DHCP server and thus no domain name is assigned for them.
Check if these devices support configuring hsotname. If that is not available then the only option that you can do currently with the DHCP Server is to convert these lease from Dynamic to Reserved and then edit the scope to put in a hostname manually for them.
