Operating notes

How to read the map

01

Names are DNS-backed

OPNsense Diagnostics shows these hostnames when Name resolution is enabled on the ARP table.

02

ARP stays dynamic

ARP records appear only while a device is present in the gateway cache. Reservations and PTR records provide the durable identity.

03

The switch is intentionally invisible

An unmanaged PoE switch forwards Ethernet frames but does not own a management address, hostname, or ARP record.
