Hi @Khaled_A You need to configure a local DNS-Server(Raspberry Pi or any device) on the same network where you need the local hostnames. Then connect the lan port of this DNS server to one of your switches and ping the IP and hostname of the server from your router to see if everything works properly. Then you can create the desired local DNS names via an A record on your local DNS server and point the local DNS names to your local IP address that you want to reach with hostnames. So that's it!

Hi, today I solved the problem with an external local DNS server. Everything works as desired. However, I would like the Meraki router to support this feature out of the box so I don't have to set up an external DNS server.

Hi all, I contacted Meraki support and they told me that Meraki devices do not support this feature and it would be better to request this feature from Meraki development team. So I hope someone see this message and can add this feature soon. It is very useful for large installations. Local Hostname I want to create a local hostname for one of our switch mgmt GUI on the network, but I can't find a setting for it in the Meraki MX router. For example: Normally a switch has a GUI interface and can browse with IP: 192.168.0.20. But I want to access this GUI interface of the switch not with the IP but with the local hostname: example.local So when a client on the network tries to enter "example.local", he/she should be able to browse the switch's GUI interface. e.g: The DNS checks its database or A-Entry and finds the hostname "example.local" which is associated to 192.168.0.20.
