@rjcab all the green arrow means is pfsense has seen that device in the last 20 minutes, its in its arp cache.. There was just another thread no that long ago going over this.
pfsense gets that info if the device is online or not from the arp cache.. If its not in there then pfsense assumes its offline.. Any traffic 2 or from pfsense in last 20 minutes would mean the mac is in the arp cache... This times out after 20 minutes, and gets dropped off - so if pfsense has not seen any traffic for more than 20 minutes then yeah it would be to pfsense that its offline.. Does mean it actually is - just pfsense doesn't have it in its arp cache.
