+1 for general feature request.

Last connection info is in the locationlog table, which tends to be large
enough already. What we need is a new table mapping switch (which, throughout
PacketFence, is an IP address) to switch hostname. Reports would consult that
table.

I think Inverse is working on moving switch configuration from flat file to
database anyway. It probably makes sense to fold switch hostnames into that
effort, rather than do one-off joins today.
