      Is there anywhere in PFsense that will show me the number of clients on my network?  I can hand count them from DHCP leases, but wondered if there is a summary somewhere.  I was thinking maybe there is a command line that will return the the number.

      Thanks,

      Jerold

        The ARP table has a list of static & dynamic clients that have been seen recently, but it's not guaranteed to be complete list at any given moment in time, and there is no total.

          Use nmap (on "something")

          nmap -sP <ip-net>/ <netmask>Ie. nmap 192.168.1.0/24

          /Bingo</netmask></ip-net>

            Internal:

            • The ARP table as named above
            • Squid & SARG perhaps

            External:

            • CentOS and NAGIOS2
            • TclMon on an APU, NUC or other small device
            • On a small external device such the RaspBerry PI or the netgate MinnowBoard Turbot series and a Linux or FreeBSD
              OS on it with CACTI and MRTG.
