[blank] Device name in the dashboard

There are a few reasons why your devices are named [blank] in the DNSFilter dashboard:

  1. The device is not provisioned.

  2. The hostname template is not set. This can be done by following Google’s guide:

Supported on Chrome version 65 and later

Allows you to specify the host name that is passed to the DHCP server with DHCP requests.

If this policy is set to a nonempty string, that string will be used as the device host name during the DHCP request.

The string can contain the ${ASSET_ID}, ${SERIAL_NUM}, and ${MAC_ADDR} variables. These variables will be replaced with values found on the device. The resulting substitution should be a valid host name per RFC 1035, section 3.1.

If this policy is not set or if the value after substitution is not a valid host name, no host name will be used in the DHCP request.
