All devices in the Connected Devices list?
Hi
I have a R8000 where I have enabled QoS. This gave me a list a very good list under Attached Devices. But for some reason I dont see all devices on this list ? Anyone can explain how I make sure to see all devices in this list?

I have a wired print server using a static, non-DHCP IP address and my R7000 displays it as an attached device. I suspect that the Attached Devices list will only display devices whose traffic can be seen by router. If you have a device that never sends traffic through the router (e.g. it never communicates with the Internet and only communicates with other devices on your LAN through a secondary switch), then it will never show up as an Attached Device. Does this scenario fit your setup?

Attached Devices shows what devices are actually attached / connected to R8000, at a moment in time. QoS is a form of traffic shaping. There is no correlation between QoS (Quality Of Service) and Attached Devices.
Thanks. I fully understand and know the idea of QoS. My question was not about Qos - but more about attached Devices.
In the list I only see some of the devices on my network. The devices I dont see in the list seems to be them I have given a fixed IP. Why are they not showing in attached Devices? They are pingable and have an IP in same subnet as the router(50-99) - but out of the DHCP range(100-255).
All devices are working fine! I would just love to see them in the attached devices, so I also could use the graph that QoS gives me, to understand how much traffic each of the devices are using.
