Allowing Static IP Addresses for Clients

When I setup my two 8510 WLC's, I think I may have not allowed static IP's for clients. How can I see on the CLI or GUI if that setting is enabled or disabled? I can't find this anywhere.

Thanks Steve. I looked at that piece of it and yes, it was fine. On the basic setup when the controller first comes up, there was an option for "Allow Static IPs" and I am pretty sure I said yes, but for some reason, I can't use any static addresses on WLAN's that I am able to use on other controllers. There is no command on the CLI that shows if that is enabled or disabled? It may not have anything to do with this as it may be a global configuration for allowing the controller to use a static. Not sure.

AAA static IP address for RA VPN Client

Hi,
my vpn group and VPN POOL is locally created in Cisco VPN router but users are authenticated through ACS, AAA server via TACACS. Now I want to assign the static ip address to VPN Client. Everything is fine but due to the application problem I want to give them the static Ip address from the VPN Pool. I have greated one pool in AAA server and also configure the client in AAA to get the static ip address but unable to do this. Please help me out how to do this.
My router is configured for TACACS+. I have checked the user configuration in AAA server to get the static ip address but it is not working. Please help me out how to do this. I cant change Router to Radius but this is my main router which is configured for 160 sites through ISDN and these sites also configured for TACACS+.

Since you're using ACS, I believe the way to do this is to
go into ACS, and select the username of the user that you want
to get the static IP. Under that user's setup, there is an option to
always assign the same IP. Just select that and enter the IP you
want them to get. - chris

How to set a static IP address for deskjet 6940dt

I have two HP laptops, both have WIN7, that keep losing the IP address for my 6940dt printer, each time power goes out to router. I have an desktop PC connected to a NetGear router and RCA modem connected to Comcast cable internet. I also have another desktop that connects wirelessly through the router....but this desktop never loses the printer IP address and I can't figure out why it doesn't and my laptops do.
I have had a fellow at the senior center computer club tell me that I need to set a Static IP address to make the laptops connect . I don't know how to do this and I would need someone to explain it in a language that I can understand, like real basic. I have searched the internet but the things I have found have been very complicated to understand.
Can anyone help me?
This question was solved.

Ooops, sorry, I forgot that yours is a wired-only network printer.
You are on the right track - just go to where you were and follow my directions - it all works the same with wired as it does wireless.

How do you increase your IP Address pool for static IP addresses?

I have an address pool from 192.168.200.1 to 192.168.200.250, the entire pool is being used by DCHP. How do I increase my address pool, so that I can assign static IP addresses for printers etc?
Say: 192.168.200.251
But not allow DCHP to use it?
I will assign the static IP address using DNS.
I hope that makes sense?
Thanks

Please re-read responses in your earlier thread for some related background on this question.
If your DHCP address pool is from .1 to .250 inclusive, then you have four addresses left for static hosts in the typical /24 subnet. You have .251. .252, .253 and .254 available. One of those addresses will probably be your gateway router, and one will be your server host.
You don't need to do anything to the DHCP pool to use those four addresses, because the static addresses are inherently outside of the DHCP pool.
DHCP address pools are not the same thing as the IP subnet address block, and DHCP-assigned addresses do not control what (other) IP hosts and addresses that a DHCP-addressed host can connect to.
DHCP servers do provide local and usually somewhat transient clients access to a pool of shared IP addresses, and they provide clients with information on the local network including the gateway router address, the subnet mask, and the DNS server address(s).
And in general, do you really have 200+ dynamic-addressed hosts in your network? If you do have 200-some transient hosts, then you're headed for either a bigger netblock (eg: a /22 configuration), or you're headed toward configuring multiple submets and routing among the various subnets.
The /24 configuration is another and shorter nomenclature for the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 that's common.

Same client's address for DDR and Dedicated Line

I need a help with client's access and routing.
On my side there is a 3845 router with Async module.
Clients are of 2 types: dial-up clients and dedicated line clients. All them are authenticated on Radius (chap).
Dial-up client has a computer, they dial on Group-Async (ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/0) and receive ip address from pool, configured on cisco (not on Radius). Thats' work perfect.
Now about leased (dedicated) line clients. They access from cisco (mostly 2610).
On my side they have configured ip on LL interface and static routing to that ip.
If this LL connection is broken, they have DDR access (call from their cisco to my Group-Async interface, same as for dial-up_only users).
What I need is to set one (only) ip address to clients with leased line access thus, that it would work for DDR-connection as well as for LL connection.
What I tried and it was successfull is:
interface Async1/0
description DDR
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/0
encapsulation ppp
async mode dedicated
ppp authentication chap
interface Async1/5
description LL
ip address 192.168.1.134 255.255.255.252
encapsulation ppp
async mode dedicated
no peer default ip address
In this case I could ping 192.168.1.133 in both LL and DDR connection.
But if only I configure Async1/0 as a member of Group-Async0, I cannot ping 192.168.1.133 (client's side), interface comes to up though.
interface Group-Async0
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/0
encapsulation ppp
async mode dedicated
peer default ip address pool POOL1
ppp authentication chap
group-range 1/0 1/1
ip local pool POOL1 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.11
Because cisco3845 give to client ip from pool:

One important thing is that I need to configure ip addressing for client without involving RADIUS (it will only check username and password).
Or explain me someone that its impossible and stop my sufferings...

I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

VPDN static IP address assign by TACACS server (ACS 2.3 for UNIX)

Is it possible assign static IP address for VPDN users by TACACS server ?
If yes, please give me some ideas how to do it?
thanks,

I think that is possible only while using CSACS for windows but not with CSACS for UNIX. Atleast I couldn't find anything in the documentation. (CiscoSecure ACS 2.3 for UNIX User Guide http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps4911/products_user_guide_book09186a00800eb438.html)

Configuring SUP address for IBCM Clients

I have a question about how to configure SUP address for clients that will be roaming from Intranet to the Internet (aka VPN Users)
Currently I have IBCM up and running. Clients report in and are able to download and install software from the IBCM DP. Currently we have group policy's configured to point clients to the correct internal WSUS/SUP servers.
For clients to use IBCM and Internet based SUP is a Windows Update group policy not possible at all? For example is the only way for clients use the IBCM SUP to have absolutely no WSUS Group Policy configured? Is configuring a Domain Group
Policy to have clients point to the Internet Based IBCM SUP not possible?
SCCM 2012 R2
Thank you.

You can create a group policy to point to your SUP. Configure the policy, Specify Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location. Its located in Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Update. Note
that the local group policy will be created regardless of using the domain group policy. So, its just a redundant effort.
Best, Jacob I'm a PC.

Configure static ip address through time capsule for Filemaker Pro

I am trying to setup a static IP Address for Filemaker Pro Instant Web Publishing.
My current configuration is that I have a Netgear CG3100D modem/router set up to be a modem only. NAT Mode is Disabled (Bridge Mode). This is then connected to my Apple TimeCapsule.
What I am now trying to do is to configure my Windows 7 PC to have a static IP address so that remote devices can access my filemaker pro database.
I have downloaded (and configured?) a tool called no-ip DUC v3.04 that I thought would help solve my connection issues, but I think that I still have a problem with how to open a port number.
When i open my browser and make a connection on my network with the ip address:port number specified through Filemaker I can get a connection. However I can not get a connection remotely.
I know I haven't provided a great deal of information here, but I am happy to provide more, once I konw what information is required.
Any assistance or advice with this would be really appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not too familiar with FileMaker Pro, but if you like to give static IP addresses to anything you would have to use DHCP Reservations using Airport Utility.
Open Airport Utility, select the Time Capsule device, click Manual Setup, navigate the Internet icon, then the DHCP tab, you'll see DHCP Reservations towards the bottom.

Assign Static IP to VPN clients authenticated on AAA server

Hi NetPros
My objective is to assign static IP address for VPN clients.
The tunnel group authentication is on a AAA LDAP server.
AAA LDAP queries has been configured and tested to work.
I followed the guide below, but could not get static IP assignment to work.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/asdm60/selected_topics/enforce_AD.html#wp41996
The tunnel group is configured to use the DHCP pool and the Group policy on ASA.
- If i do not specify dhcp pool, the error message is: "no assigned address"
- If i configure dhcp pool, the assigned address will be from the pool
Here are my queries on assigning a static IP for aaa-users:
1. Do you need to configure a external policy server for static IP assignment to work?
-I prefer to use the group policy on ASA
2. Under the tunnel profile, do you need to specify what DHCP pool to use? If yes, what do i specify?
3. Does DHCP service needs to be running on ldap server?
4. As per printscreen below, is Remote Access Policy required?
5. What am I missing out to make static IP assignment work?
Big thanks

Hi all
Thanks to friends working in Cisco, they have helped to identify the root cause.
The root cause was due to a misprint on the Cisco document.
The correct LDAP attribute is: msRASSavedFramedIPAddress. Note on the additional 'd' after the word, 'Frame'
In fact this LDAP attribute was also lacking of a 'd' on the ASDM scroll down selection. Would appreciate if someone relay the mistake to cisco personnel. Thanks all.

I need help setting up my Apple wireless network so that there are no conflicts with IP addresses for any of my devices.

I have 2 Airport Extreme Base Stations, 1 is a 5th generation 802.11n and 1 is a 2nd generation 802.11n. I have 2 Extreme Express Base Stations which are 2nd generation 802.11a/n. The idea is to create a network that works throughout my 2 story house and extend into the garage. It's not a large house 1400 sq ft wood construction. The internet feed comes into the Hughes Net modem upstairs. This is where I want the main base station (5th generation). I eventually will connect a network drive and printer to it. I then want to place the second base station in the room directly under the upstairs room where the main base station is and connect my desk top computer to it. In the living room I will have one of the Express Base Stations connected to the Micro Cell and house stereo system. In the garage (50' away from the living room Express Station & 75' from the Main Base Station) I will place the other Extreme Express Base Station to be connected to the garage stereo system. All of this is with the idea to extend the range of my network for all my devices and airplay to my stereo systems.
Ok, so I have a lot of wireless devices. 2 2nd geneartion iPads, 2 iPhone 4s's, 3 Wi-Fi enabled Sony TVs, Apple TV (near the house stereo Extreme Express), AT&T Micro Cell connected to house stereo Extreme Express, Lorex Security DVR system (connected to main base station upstairs), Whole-House DTV Network system,1 Macintosh Quicksilver Desktop computer, 1 MacBook Pro, and 1 Mac AirBook. As you can see I need a lot of DHCP IP addresses.
So, how do I go about setting this all up? I have read countless articles and discussions but I still have conflicts. It usually mostly, but not limited to, effects my wife's AirBook. Not good at all! I used to have a WDS setup but I understand that the 802.11n Airport Extreme's do not support this. And when I try to distribute a range of IP addresses I run into problems. So can someone please help me resolve this headache?

Configure the Extreme connected to the Hughes Net modem as your router. In other words in AirPort Utility, Network tab > Router Mode should be set to "DHCP and NAT". It will provide IP addresses to all the devices on your network.
All other AirPort devices on your network should be configured as bridges: Router Mode "Off".
You may want to configure static IP addresses for any equipment that is likely to be permanently installed. For them, there is no reason to have the Extreme issue an IP address, and they can keep the same one forever.
The Microcell may be able to connect to the Express's LAN port such devices that have to handle voice or other real time audio or video streaming are generally best installed using a strictly wired connection. The same applies to the Sony TV and AppleTV. Keep them on a wired LAN served by the Extreme, avoiding any reliance on a wireless link if at all possible.
The way to implement a complex network like yours is to add one device at a time. Ensure it connects reliably, then add another. You have a lot of work to do.
WDS can be implemented even with new Extremes but its performance is likely to be so unacceptable that it would be nothing more than an exercise in frustration for you.

How do I connect an Airport Extreme to my ISP with a static IP address?

I have 5 static IP addresses from my ISP. The cable modem has five ethernet jacks. I run an ethernet cable from separate jacks on th cable modem to the devices listed next. I have one static IP address assigned to a Linksys wireless router for a MS network. Another is used by my VoIP router. I want to use a third static IP address for my Airport Extreme and set up a new network for a server running Leopard Server, iMacs, latptops. When I enter a static IP address in the Airport Extreme, I can't connect to the internet. Can anybody help?

When you configured your Airport Extreme with one of the five static (and public) IP addresses available to you - did you remember to also configure the Airport Extreme with your ISP's router (or "gateway") IP address as well as the IP address(es) of your ISP's domain name servers?

DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86

I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>

The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
192.168.1.1
I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
INTHOST
There is a hosts file, and it contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
192.168.1.3 INTHOST
There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
There is a nsswitch.conf file and other than the commented out lines, it contains:

Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
"route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
The only other command I've tried is:
"ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off)
presently, and assume the Solaris box will too,
usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through
5>One method is setting the router so that the server's MAC address is tied to a specific IP.
Otherwise you can edit /etc/hostname.<interface> and place a static address there, forgoing DHCP services from the router. You may want the address to appear outside the router's DHCP range.

Ip addressing for modbus driver

When using the modbus ethernet dirver. If your network uses a DHCP server to dynamically assign ip addresses,
How do you setup the IP address field in the driver dialog box?
Or do I need to have a static IP address for the target device?

There are at least a couple options you have. You can use the host name if DHCP registers new assignments with DNS. Or you could use a static address. If you can’t/don’t want to change the PLC configuration, you can have DHCP assign the same IP address to the PLC every time. DHCP uses the MAC address of the PLC to dynamically assign the static IP address. The MAC address should be labeled somewhere on the PLC (or in the PLC configuration somewhere). If no label is found you can look at the ARP table on your PC (or the PLC’s gateway if routing is involved). Hope this helps.
