Tutorials and FAQs / Re: Add dhcp4 statics leases by batch

« on: September 18, 2023, 04:20:52 pm »

Love it! I have a very similar spreadsheet that I originally used for the same purpose with Tomato and I added a column for the OPNsense XML format as well.

Now why is it that such a very simple idea of using a spreadsheet to manage complex lists of DHCP reservations cannot be automated, or semi-automated? Are there any IPAM OPNsense plugins that could do this job?

Thanks

21.7 Legacy Series / Re: ARP moved messages in the logs

So I understand correctly, you are suggesting enabling Interfaces->Settings->ARP Handling->Suppress ARP Messages? (screenshot attached)

There is a comment for this setting which says: "This option will suppress ARP log messages when multiple interfaces reside on the same broadcast domain". Can you elaborate on this point? This seems to be a global all-or-nothing setting which will suppress all ARP messages.

I'm not sure that is what we are after. We just want the ARP movement messages suppressed. Will your suggestion achieve that goal?

Thanks

Hi Franco! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

The trouble is, I already have net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements = 0 set in the Tunables GUI. I set it a few months ago actually. OPNsense seems to be ignoring it.

(I attached a screenshot of my tunables setting but I am not sure if this forum software allows it.)

This is important to me because I have a house full of Apple/Bonjour devices which are very chatty with proxy ARP when they go to sleep, and this very quickly fills up the dmesg log and makes searching through the system log kinda painful.

Thanks/Nathan

I can confirm this behavior still exists in 21.7. The tunable net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements is ignored by the boot logic even though it is clearly specified in /boot/loader.conf.

Is this thread sufficient for opening a bug report?

Any thoughts on my newbie question? Is this the wrong sub-forum?

Thanks

18.1 Legacy Series / Dashboard Widget for Client List

« on: April 04, 2018, 08:23:24 am »

Hello! New OPNsense user and first time post here!

I am a SOHO user and will shortly be migrating from Tomato-based firmware to OPNsense.

One of the things I miss from Tomato is having my list of active clients (DHCP leases) right up front in the GUI.

Is there a way to have the DHCP lease list on the OPNsense dashboard? I don't see anything obvious in the available widget list.

If it isn't available, do you think such a feature would be easy to code? I might be willing to get my hands dirty...

A Google search shows that something like this was attempted for pfSense, perhaps it could be "borrowed":

Thanks
