Include DNS lookup information in Switch Port Mapper

Paul Dial

Per the Admin guide, AKIPS is already doing DNS lookups for IP addresses but only using this data for Netflow.   

It would be helpful to include this information in the Switch Port Mapper ARP table and "Address Location" table as an additional column and also as a searchable item similar to IP and MAC address.  Frequently someone using AKIPS will know the name of the server but not its IP address.  Including the DNS lookup information in these reports will provide an extremely useful and alternative way to find information about a device that AKIPS is polling.

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the suggestion. 

    I've added it to the review list for SPM. I don't have an ETA I can provide yet. We may have additional questions and will get back to you or the community additionally if we need testing.

    Regards,

    Adam
