Is there a way to see which hostnames have which IP addresses when using a router as a DHCP server? We had a Comcast modem handing out DHCP addresses and we could log in to it and see IP addresses matched to hostnames as well as MAC addresses. IOS doesn't seem to give us that capability.

Is there a way to do this? I'd love to be able to login to the router and see the hostnames.
 
I don't know of any that will show the hostname, just the typical ip/mac combo.

Hello
Try "show ip dhcp binding"

Regards
 
The answer is no. I will however log into SDM to see if that can, but I don't think so. Your only hope is to maybe build a host name list with MAC addresses, then sh ip dhcp bind...

Show ip dhcp binding" will get close ,but without the hostnames.

Yes, but I believe he wants the hostnames, and knows how to get MAC and IP addresses...

Right, I want the hostnames. It would be far too time-consuming to get the MAC addresses of every device on that LAN. They're nearly all wireless devices of various sorts spread all over our company. It's a bummer that Cisco doesn't have that feature. Another solution would be for me to use a real DHCP server on that LAN instead of Cisco's IOS DHCP server.
