Missing IP Address in System Log, Wireless Log for a Device attached to Primary Router, with a Static IP?

[jksmurf]

This might be down to my configuration, but on an RT-AX88U Pro, with am (ESP32 Bluetooth Proxy) IoT device connected to a GNP IoT Network, System Log/Wireless Log shows the MAC address and the name of the device but does not show the IP Address. The device (happens to be) connected to the Main Router IoT Wifi.

Note that I have, in addition to configuring a Static IP Address on teh deviuce (via HA ESPHome Builder), also set a Manual Assignment in the LAN/DHCP (using YazDHCP) of the Router, but I do not think YazDHCP is the issue here, as the IP Address of the device shows up as expected in all of these locations:

• Network Map / Client List and the
• Network Map / Client Status List and the
• GNP, IoT Network / Clients List

Does anyone have any idea why the System Log does not show the IP Address?

If it doesn’t have a dnsmasq lease or appear in the arp table, it likely won’t show. It says “Static” in the network map.

Yep, I did note in my OP that I assigned it as Static, and that is indeed what it shows (I will now go fix the many typos I realised I have ...).

Maybe semantics, but the System Log, Wireless Log does say "List of connected Wireless clients" of which this is one and it is listed; just without the IP Address.
Just found it odd that 3 other locations show the IP Address (however the device got hold of it) but not in this one log location.
No biggy TBH, just curious if that is by design.

Does the MAC/IP appear in /proc/net/arp?

Indeed sir, it does not... and is all the more lonely for it.
