      I was watching a video on youtube that talks about DHCP lease in pfsesne 2.7.0
      About Status/DHCP Leases
      I saw that there are two columns "on line" and "Lease trype"

      but in version 2.7.2 that I have they are not there

      have they been removed?

      In pfsense 2.7.0

      In pfsense 2.7.2

      Found.
      it has all been grouped in the first column with the information about the popup when the mouse passes

        @Unoptanio if the start end is na, its a given that its a static reservation. So lease type is pretty pointless column.

          @Unoptanio said in About Status/DHCP Leases:

          "on line"

          is still shown. Here :

          7751a241-64e0-4f99-93a7-035954be5abd-image.png

          the green arrows.

          And before you ask : "on line" or the green arrow means probably something different as what you might think.

          "On line" or the green arrow means : the IP is in the "arp cache". See here Diagnostics > ARP Table

          pfSense, or the DHCP server, is not 'pinging' (or something else) every (lease) IP every xx seconds to see it it replies.

          Static or not : the admin knows what leases are static, as he set them up as static.
          But I get it : why showing 'n/a' twice, even if it's true, if the word "Static implies the same. Not sure why that was changed.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??
