Devices in maas and automatic DNS entries?

[Jim Tilander]

Hi,

I’ve been trying to get non maas controlled devices on my network (actually devkits) to be automatically added to the DNS. So far no luck, but I might be doing something wrong. 

In my scenario I have some DHCP enabled devices that also offer up the dhcp client name. I’d like for this clientname to actually get entered into the DNS so I can later resolve these devices. 

I figured that I’d scan for devices on the network, find the device and then assign a name and a domain to it. 

This doesn’t actually seem to work. :( 

Is this something that is supposed to work and I’ve got some bug in my setup, or am I chasing something that can’t be done currently in MaaS? 

Cheers,
Jim
