Yes you are right ARP doest get the host/device name but tool allows to have a handy name the we can used to remember. It doesnt change the way we connect or any functionality. As the details are stored in accordance with MAC filter. So as IP Reservation. ACL have it own DB but IP Reservation sometimes doesnt cache even the QOS by device doesnt cache the same name instead the actual ANDROID_abcd etc
ACL tool just adds tagging kind of which used to be refered even after reboot i dont think so if it flushs so that every time user needs to add .

mondenath,
Re: "ACL tool just adds tagging kind of which used to be refered even after reboot i dont think so if it flushs so that every time user needs to add ."
Yes. That is exactly what I am observing. The tagging works for me... as long as i keep in mind that it may not be the actual device name.
I mean... if the tagging hasn't changed in two months, after at least 3 power cycles & 36 reboots (for an unrelated issue),
I guess it will be persistent until I edit it differently.
And a sincere "Thank You!" for helping me understand.

R7000 @ V1.0.5.48_1.1.79 is working fine for me,
device names & all.
