Is it possible to get the PC name knowing its IP address?

Hello did you have dns / DNS Services license?

Hi thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I haven't this license yet. And what's your idea?

Hello,

you have 2 possibilities to recover the name of the machine via an irule (With User IP Address). either by doing the correspondence in a datagroup. I do not know how many machines you have, but it might take a long time for you to record and maintain them in a datagroup.

or the simple way is to do a reverse dns (PTR) via an Irule, however, as previously specified you need a specific license for this. you can request an add-on of tests and validate this feature. if it interests you I can make you irule.

Regards

Hi,

I've another big-ip where there is DNS license :) So please could you make this irule for me. I'll test it but in my environment if I query for PTR record I can't get the hostname :(

Maybe there is another way to achieve this goal – if you have some idea i.e. to use script in bash with "gethostbyaddr" or some like “ping -a IP” - in windows environment. What do you think?
