Assumptions: - you already have a local DNS server able to perform reverse DNS resolution per IP. - you already have omada SDN setup on the network - you should create an OMADA admin account dedicated to this process using a very long random password string without any special character - my subnet is simply from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.256 so I have a simple loop, you might have to modify the script if your subnet is class B with an outer loop etc... usage: 1) install python: sudo apt install python3-pip 2) install the omada python api: pip install tplink-omada-client 3) update the parameters CHANGE_ME values in the scipt below 4) run the script manually or in cron...
