After adding device with auto-discovery, 'IPv4 Address' is converted into the device's NetBIOS name. Where can I get the original ip address ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

You can define if the DNS name or the IP address is used as the name for a device in the group settings. Please navigate to these settings and below "Device Identification and Auto-Discovery" you can change the "Name Resolution" setting to use the IP address.

Kind regards,
