Where and how to tell Zaabix to display ip addresses instead of domain names?

Hello! The company where I set up Zabbix uses software that, when issuing an IP, assigns a unique domain name to the equipment. I don’t know why the switch needs my name, but it’s the way it is and can’t be corrected for more understandable ones.
When adding a new device, Zabbix checks for the presence of a writeback (it is also done) and adds it to the field with the name. I and those engineers who will also have access to monitoring are more accustomed to seeing ip. Tell me - how can I make Zabbix display the ip by default, and not the name?

I didn’t quite understand the question ..
When creating a host, you can enter anything in the "host name" field, incl. and ip address.
There is also a "visible name" field, its value will be substituted wherever the node name is displayed (only if this field is filled). This means that changing the name to "your format" would be more correct, IMHO.
Another question, if for some reason this option is not suitable, then where exactly do you want

so that Zabbix displays the ip by default, not the name
?
