Unable to see clients DHCP leases

[talm]

Hi,

I have a setup with pfSense as L3 GW with DHCP server running and Aruba Controller and few APs, in L2 tunnel mode. All in the same subnet.
Currently I can't see the DHCP leases of the wireless clients on the pfSense Status -> DHCP leases tab. Also some clients, which are connected directly to an L2 switch are not shown as up/active in this tab.
Is this a known issue? any workaround?

Get a device, disconnect the wifi, and re connect the wifi.
While doing this, look at the place where you can find the answers : Status > System Logs > DHCP

Example : I connect my phone, and refresh the DHCP log page :

The MAC of my phone is shown, and the IP my phone obtained.

Btw : if you see nothing of all this, then that's also a valid answer.
It means that the DHCP request never reached pfSense,, and that some other DHCP server handled the request. This is typically not what you want of course. Have a talk with the admin of the aruba device ^^

This info isn't showing if the device is using it's IP - is active - but more if pfSense has the IP in its active ARP cache. See : Diagnostics > ARP Table
