Our IPv4 and IPv6 clients do not send a host name with their DHCP requests. Is there a way to configure the DHCP server to generate a host name based on ClientID instead of IP address?
For example when my DHCP server receives a DHCP REQUEST from an IPv4 DHCP client with IP address 192.168.151.194 and no host name, the DHCP server generates the name dhcp-192-168-151-194. Along with this DHCP receives ClientID such as "\000Galaxy-A10".
This Galaxy-A10 is our unique identifier for clients, which we want our DHCP server to look up instead of IP address before generating a hostname. And hopefully assign A records with below format:
Galaxy-A10 A 192.168.151.194
