Any way to forget a custom client?

[p1r473]

I have some clients that I don't possess anymore. How can I "forget" them so that when I show the nvram custom clients they don't show up/ are forgotten?

Thanks

nvram unset custom_clientlist
nvram commit
reboot


rm /jffs/nmp_client_list && reboot

or factory reset is it. 380.61 offline client list "x" actual deletes clients i have been told but seen i not updated personal check

That will delete all of your custom client names. I suggest you edit custom_clientlist by hand, and then commit it to nvram. There is no need to reboot. The GUI will pick it up automatically.

Here is part of a script I use to report the custom names. Maybe it will give you an idea of what you're looking at.

nvram get custom_clientlist | sed 's/</\n/g; s/>/\t/g' | sed 's/^/custom\t/' | tail '+2' | sed 's/\(^.*\)\(\t.*\)\(\t[0-9A-F][0-9A-F]:.*$\)/\1\3\2/'

Do you need to do both the nvram AND the jffs partition?

Just nvram.

portions of that list are now save in the jffs partion.

And editing it by hand is pain in the butt.

I haven't had a problem editing it by hand, but I can see how it would be difficult for some.

In any case, when did the list start getting saved to jffs? I don't see it in 380.61. Do you know the details?

Can anyone please provide instruction how to remove just 1 client from JFFS and NVRam?

how to change only 1 custom device name?
nvram set custom_clientlist= ????

Save a copy for backup and another for editing

nvram get custom_clientlist > custom_clientlist.backup
nvram get custom_clientlist > custom_clientlist.edit

The format is the following, repeated with no spaces

<Name>EthernetAddress>0>0>>

It is all one line and you cannot have any typos
Edit it with your preferred editor

vi custom_clientlist.edit

Update the NVRAM variable and commit

nvram set custom_clientlist=$(cat custom_clientlist.edit)
nvram commit

Some added complexity:
The last number in the format above is not necessarily zero. It represents the device type. The following are the device types in use on my router:

35 Laptop
2  Switch
19 Printer
21 iPad
10 iPhone
