This testing device is connected to a dedicated Ethernet port of the PC which is enp3s0f1 on which the DHCP server listens and attributes IP address to the testing device when requested :

However, Nutty does not show correct device name which is expected to be SPARK-Ubuntu, rather it shows Not Available, and the Device Manufacturer is Cimsys that corresponds to the temporary MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 we set to the testing device.
I would like to know how to make the device's hostname appear in the Device Name column, please ?
Dear Babluboy,
I have Ubuntu based testing device connecting to the PC running as DHCP server. Below is the configuration of the testing device :
root@SPARK-Ubuntu:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 SPARK-Ubuntu
root@SPARK-Ubuntu:~# cat /etc/hostname
SPARK-Ubuntu
