If you have hundreds of stations on your LANforge and want to give them all hostnames, this is certainly possible. Please get the add-dhcp-hostname.pl script from the lanforge-scripts repository.

1. First bring up your stations with DHCP enabled. This will create your dhclient config files in /home/lanforge/vr_conf.
2. Admin-down the stations.
3. With a root shell, go to that vr_conf directory and run this script on the files you want to give hostnames to.
   1. For just one station:

      root# ~lanforge/scripts/add-dhcp-hostname.pl dhclient_sta0000.conf

   2. For all the stations:

      root# ~lanforge/scripts/add-dhcp-hostname.pl dhclient_sta*conf

4. Admin-up the stations.
   1. If you are sniffing, you will see a DHCP Request packet that has a hostname attribute.
   2. If you are inspecting a LANforge dhcpd server in a virtual router, you would check /home/lanforge/vr_conf/vrcx_eth1_dhcp_lease.db for entries with the setting client-hostname.

That should work.
