DHCP Configuration

Current Settings

  • DHCP Pool: 192.168.0.150 - 192.168.0.200 (51 addresses)
  • Purpose: Guest devices and temporary connections
  • Static Reservations: 33 devices with confirmed MACs

DNS Settings

  • Primary DNS: 192.168.0.11 (AdGuard Home)
  • Secondary DNS: 192.168.0.1 (OPNsense fallback)

VPN / Tailscale

IP MAC Address Purpose
100.65.128.1 e0:cb:19:60:87:70 Tailscale VLAN device
100.65.159.134 bc:24:11:be:cf:af Tailscale VLAN device (permanent)

Network Statistics

  • Total Active Devices: 35
  • VMs/Containers: 10
  • User Computers: 5 (3 PCs + 2 printers)
  • Mobile Devices: 3 (2 phones + 1 tablet)
  • TVs & Media: 3
  • Smart Home/IoT: 13 (9 Tapo + 1 Yeelight + 2 Reolink + 1 Tuya)
  • Network Infrastructure: 2 (AP + Extender)
  • Hypervisors: 2
  • Static Assignments: 33 devices
  • DHCP Pool Size: 51 addresses

Known Issues

Tapo App Issues

  • Bedroom light (192.168.0.83): Showing incorrect info in app
  • 3D printer plug (192.168.0.88): App showing wrong MAC, verify after print finishes
  • Resolution: Use ARP table MACs as source of truth

Devices Needing Attention

  • Factory reset recommended for Tapo devices showing app glitches after migration

Maintenance Tasks

Regular Tasks

  • Monthly: Review DHCP leases for new unknown devices
  • Quarterly: Audit static IP assignments
  • Quarterly: Update device firmware (routers, APs, cameras)
  • Yearly: Review and optimize IP allocation scheme

Pending Tasks

  • Factory reset Tapo devices with app issues

Security Considerations

  1. Network Segmentation: Consider VLANs for IoT devices
  2. Guest Network: DHCP pool isolated from static devices
  3. Firewall Rules: OPNsense manages inter-VLAN traffic
  4. DNS Filtering: AdGuard Home provides ad/tracker blocking
  5. Remote Access: Tailscale VPN for secure remote access

Backup Strategy

What to Backup

  1. OPNsense Configuration: XML backup from web interface
  2. DHCP Reservations: CSV export (included in this repo)
  3. Network Documentation: This README and related files
  4. AdGuard Home Config: Settings and filter lists

Migration Notes

Troubleshooting

Device Not Getting Reserved IP

  1. Check MAC address in router's ARP table
  2. Verify DHCP reservation exists
  3. Release/renew DHCP lease on device
  4. Check for MAC address conflicts

Cannot Access Device

  1. Verify device is online (ping IP)
  2. Check if device changed MAC (WiFi vs Ethernet)
  3. Review firewall rules in OPNsense
  4. Check DNS resolution in AdGuard Home

IoT Device Issues

  1. Tapo devices: Check app vs ARP table for correct MAC
  2. Battery devices (water sensor): Won't always appear in ARP
  3. For offline devices: Power cycle or factory reset

Tools & Commands

Identify Device by MAC

# Online MAC lookup
curl -s "https://api.macvendors.com/5c:62:8b:8d:cb:d6"

# Or use OUI lookup
# First 6 characters (3 octets) identify manufacturer

Scan Network

# Using nmap
nmap -sn 192.168.0.0/24

# Using arp-scan (more reliable)
sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 192.168.0.0/24

Check Current IP/MAC

# View ARP table
arp -a

# Or on OPNsense
arp -an | grep 192.168.0

Configuration Files:

  • dhcp-reservations.csv - DHCP static assignments export
  • Network Inventory.docx - Human-readable network map
  • opnsense-config.xml - OPNsense configuration backup (not in repo)
