two switches with same hostname

[tiberius015]

Hi,

I have discovered two 8 port switches in my network with the same hostname. will this cause any problems?

Hi,

Unless you have DNS configured for these switches to be reached and having duplicate names with different IPs in DNS entries, I do not see any other issues.

EMS systems use IP as the reachability and get the hostnames from the device via the IP as well - no issues there.
