NSLOOKUP (Naming) (NSLOOKUP)

Generated page

This page mirrors server/plugins/nslookup_scan/README.md and is regenerated on every docs build.

Overview

Plugin for device name discovery via reverse DNS (PTR) lookups, using the nslookup utility. Runs against IPs already discovered by a device scanner - it doesn't discover devices itself, only tries to attach a name to ones that don't have one yet. Functionally similar to DIGSCAN (both do a reverse DNS lookup, just via a different tool) - enabling both is redundant, pick whichever behaves better against your DNS server.

Usage

  • Check the Settings page for details.

Notes

  • See the Name resolution guide for how this fits alongside the other naming plugins (AVAHISCAN, NBTSCAN, DIGSCAN).
