Renaming a Client

RUCKUS Unleashed collects client host names from the operating system of the client and displays them in client lists, tables, and charts on the web interface. However, the host names provided by the OS are often not very useful in identifying clients on the network.

Entering a custom host name manually using the web interface is one way to address this issue.

Any renamed clients will be displayed using the new name whenever they are online. The maximum number of marked clients is 520. When this maximum is reached, RUCKUS Unleashed deletes the oldest renamed offline stations, 10 stations at a time, and triggers an alarm event to indicate the renamed stations have been deleted.

Complete the following steps to rename a connected wired or wireless client.
