Network wide - clients

Atkguru — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:41:19 GMT

I haven't found any answer to this, does anybody know how long or what is refresh interval of clients in the network wide clients list.

For example, today we noticed couple ports that was in wrong VLAN and some AP's was in wrong LAN, so we fixed problem within 2 minutes after they were connected. Rebooted the AP's and they got correct address, but clients list show only the old wrong ip-address for them, not the current that they really used. ARP table showed correct address naturally.

How long it takes or what is the trigger for the clients list to update?

Some times I have seen the same client double in clients list, with the old and new ip address, but today clients showed only old ip for several hours.

Have you read this documentation as there are variables.

I have found that clients who are very chatty out to the internet update pretty quickly, but clients that are quiet, or have mostly internal traffic can take a while.

It does take time to display the correct information. I've noticed more lag in the new version of clients connected dashboard.The online/offline status of wireless clients will depend on their connection to a Meraki wireless network.
