Assigning static port address

Hello All,
We are having a standalone BOE server. I have a doubt about assigning static port addresses to servers. We had a standard deployment of BusinessObjects 4.0 SP2. Our admin has assigned static request port address to APS, CMS, FRS, Crystal report servers and Dashboard server instead of using "Auto assign".
Does it necessary to assign static port address to these servers and does it necessary to open these ports on firewall?
What are the advantages of assigning static port address instead of using "Auto assign"?
As per my understanding, request port of APS, FRS and other servers are used to communicate those with CMS. And CMS and all other servers are hosted on the same server. Then why do we need to open those ports on firewall in a server.
Appreciate your help and suggestions.
Thanks and Regards,
Aashutosh

Hi,
if you dont have a Firewall in between your Client PCs and the BOE Server you dont need to assign static ports. You only need this if a Firewall is controlling the communication between these two parts.
Most of the Services communicate only with the CMS - thats correct.
But if you use the BI LaunchPad only for vieweing and creating Reports like WebI you need to open the Port 8080 for the Application Server.
If you are using Front- End Clients for viewing and or editing Reports you need to open the CMS Port 6400 and assign a static Port to the IFRS and OFRS and open these ports too.

How do I assign static ip address on time capsule

I want to assign static ip addresses to certain devices in my home but not sure how to do it through the iMac and Air Port/time capsule

Not sure as I don't own an Apple router but on mosdt modern routers there is a way to set, that is SET, a constant IP for devices by their MAC address, that is Mac, Media Access Control address not Mac computer.
I would think Apple has included that feature in their Airport routers.

How to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0

hi,
how to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0 i.e. 192.168.3.125 ipshold be persistantt across reboots. what steps do i need to follow to put all information including gateway,netmask etc..Also i want to integrate one init script ..can i integrate it using /etc/init.d/<service name> like linux. and do chkconfig on it?i am not getting complex procedure of SPF and FMRI etc..can u help me?

Create a file in your /etc directory called hostname.nge0. Add the hostname of your system to this file. In your /etc/hosts file, assign the static IP address you want to the same hostname. You can then disable and enable the network-physical service to configure the network interface:
svcadm disable network-physical
svcadm enable network-physical

SQL Server 2012 - 3 SQL clustered instances - one default/ two named instances - how assign/should assign static ports for named instances

We have two physical servers hosting 3 SQL 2012 clustered instances, one default instance and two named instances.
The default instance is using port 1433 and the two named instances are using dynamic port assignment.
There is discussion about assigning static port numbers to the two named clustered SQL instances.
What is considered best-practice? For clustered named instances to have dynamic or static ports?
Are there any pitfalls to assigning a static port to a named instance that is a cluster?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi RobinMCBC,
In SQL server the default instance has a listener which listens on the fixed port which is TCP port 1433. And for the named instance the port on which the SQL server listens is random and is dynamically selected when the named instance of the SQL server
starts.
For Standalone instance of the SQL server we can change the dynamic port of the named instance to the static port by using SQL server configuration manager as other post, however, in case of the cluster, when we change the port no. of the named instance
to the static port using the method described above, the port no. again changes back to the dynamic port after you restart the services. I recommend you changing the Dynamic port of the SQL Server to static port
on all the nodes , disabling and enabling the checkpointing to the quorum.
For more information, you can review the following article about how to change the dynamic port of the SQL Server named instance to an static port in a SQL Server 2005 cluster.

How to Assign Static IP address to iPad?

I have been having a problem with the wifi connection on my iPad. After much research online, I have narrowed it down to an ip address lease renewal bug. The iPad drops connection when the ip address lease expires. The suggested fix is to assign a static ip address for the iPad based on its MAC address.
How can I do this?

I can't answer directly, but the following may help (for HH3B)
Login to HomeHub
Goto http://192.168.1.254/html/settings/a_ip_address.html
Set the lease time to 21 days
Apply
Goto http://192.168.1.254/html/settings/a_devices.html
Click on your iPad
Choose 'always use this IP address'
Apply

Risk and Rollback to assigning Static ports.

Good afternoon.
We have been using Exchange CAS servers using MSNLB for the past 3 years. Works well for us with a few bugs but now we are upgrading our virtual infrastructure and MSNLB is no longer really an option. Going through the process I see the requirements
of using static ports for RPC. I have a couple of questions.
What is the risk/outtage to users? I understand the RPC Client service gets restarted. Do users need to restart outlook? repair their profile? etc etc
To make the changes on SP1 and Later (we are SP2) it appears to be just adding the reg key and restarting the service. Is there a rollback procedure ? (delete the key and restart the service?)
Anyone have any issues in doing this?
Thanks
Drew

We will be using a hardware loadbalancer (coyotepoint) although we are also considering software lbs
So why the need for static ports? Isnt that just something the vendor recommends? I have never set static ports with a load balancer myself and its been fine.

HP LaserJet P1505n Printer frequently loses assigned static IP address and goes offiline

We have replaced printer several times, assigned printer static ip to eliminate network related issues. Ran, Scan Doctor;
- reinstalled printer drivers
- power cyled printer
- check for network connectivity
- Printer works perfectly ( for a brief period of time.)
What's mind boggling, ( if I may) is that IPv4 service was turned off when printer went offline. Logical right? Turned it back and it works for a while and goes offline again. Boggie man stops by that printer to turn-off network connections repeatedly. This is frustrating and makes my department look bad. May be we should try a different brand of printer. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi gr---8 ,
Sorry to hear you are still having issues setting up the printer on the wired network.
We will need to find out if it is the Ethernet port on the printer, or the network causing this issue.
Do you have Mac filtering on the router?
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
Restore the printer back to factory settings.
Print a hardware test page to test the printer's hardware. Make sure the SSID and IP address is cleared from your router's setttings. Printing a Configuration Page in Windows.
Connect the Ethernet cable directly to the computer.
Print the configuration page again to see if you get a IP address to test the Ethernet port on the printer.
What is the IP address?
Run the add printer wizard to install the printer.
Test the printer.
Were you able to see the printer, add the printer and print?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Please provide in detail the results.
Have a nice day!

$macaddress = $macaddress.Substring(17)
$macaddress = $macaddress.Insert(0,'"')
$macaddress = $macaddress.insert(13,'"')

Port Forwarding and Static IP addresses

Netcomm NB1300 router and Airport Express.
I want to use and old G3 mac running 10.3.9 as a server for HTTP and FTP. The Mac is currently connected via Airport but I can connect it via Ethernet if necessary.
I understand that I will have to activate Port Forwarding on my Router with Ports 21 and 80 to allow external Internet access to the G3. I will also have to configure DHCP Manually for a Static IP address and probably link up with a Free DNS service to maintain reliable access to the G3.
I have other computers on the network, two Macs (Ethernet / 10.3.9 & Airport 10.4.11) and two PC's (one with Vista, one with XP / both on Airport). Only one of the extra Macs is connected via ethernet, the rest are connected via Airport.
Will I have to assign Static IP addresses to all the computers or just the one I want to use as a server?
And also, can anyone tell me about Port Forwarding via Port 22 to give more security from external observation/attacks? I know nothing about this security measure.
Thanks in advance.
Christo.

I am now assuming I will be able to access the 'server' from an external location. Very optimistic! But I can't test that for a couple of days.
Ah, but you've given up too soon! You can access your web server from outside your network real easy: you just need to find an external client you can point back to your site. I like to use the W4C validator to do that. It has the happy side effect of also telling you if your web page markup is valid. So you'd point your browser to the validator page:
http://validator.w3.org/
I like to choose "More Options" and tell it to show the page source. That way I can also verify that it's seeing the page I want it to see.
If I disconnect the iBook from Ethernet, can it still be accessible from an external location if it is connected to the Router via Airport, or do I have do so something like Port Forwarding with my Airport Express as well? Note the iBook can still connect to the Internet via Airport.
It would depend on how your Airport is set up. I think there are a couple of ways to set them up. One is to make the Airport a DHCP server, which would make the wireless network essentially a separate network. In that case, you'd have to forward throught the Airport, too.
My wireless network, though, is set up to bridge, so it's all one network. In that case, all I'd have to do to forward wirelessly to a client would be to set up the forward on the main router.
Being that persons other than myself will be accessing the iBook via FTP, do I give them the user account password of the Mac, or can I set a password in the Router or something else?
Also, when accessing the iBook on my local network using Cyberduck, I can see the entire directory of the iBook's user account. Is there a way to limit access to just one folder, such as the Public folder, or a self-designated folder?
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about setting up FTP. I would suggest that you look into maybe making an account on the iBook specifically for the FTP user and only give out that username and password. You might want to poke around in the Networking and the Web and Unix discussions in the Mac OS X Technologies area. I've seen a number of posts there about setting up FTP, and you might be able to find your answers there.

Not Able To Assign A Static IP Address To Windows 2008 64 bit Server

Hello Experts,
I've been trying to assign a static IP address to Windows 2008 R2 Server Virtual Box image. As soon as I assign static IP address to the image, either it hangs or says "Unidentified network".
I'm 100% sure that I'm using correct IP address, Gateway, Subnet mask and DNS Server details. If I use same settings on other linux virtual box, it is able get that static ip address. The issue is only with Windows 2008 image.
Here few more inputs that may help:
- Windows 2008 image has "Bridge" adapter.
- Host system is connected to corporate network via wired connection and NOT on VPN.
- If I use "Obtain IP address automatically" setting, then it is able to get a dynamic IP address and internet is working fine.
Questions:
1. Has anyone seen this issue before ?
2. Do I need to do any additional configuration on Windows 2008 server ?
Thanks,
GK

Hi,
Method 1: Uninstall and reinstall network drivers.
Method 2: If you have any anti-virus software, disable them.

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?

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)

Cant connect Solaris 10 with internet with a static ip address

Hi, Guys:
I just installed a Solaris 10 on a PC on my company's network.
The box can get an IP address from my company's DHCP server if I use "ifconfig skge0 dhcp", and it can connect to Internet without any problem.
I can ping the gateway router, dns server, and browse the websites. The gateway router and dns server have different ip addresses.
However, when I assigned a valid static IP address to the solaris 10 box and rebooted the box, it cannot connect to the internet anymore.
It cannot ping the gateway router, dns server. It can only ping itself.
If I do ifconfig -a, I can see the static ip address I assigned to it.
Here is how I assigned static ip address to the box:
I add the static ip address to /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.skge0, /etc/ipnodes files and rebooted the solaris 10.
I have added "hosts files dns" in the /etc/nsswitch file.
I have /etc/defaultrouter with the valid gateway router's ip address.
Can anyone tell me what went wrong here? Why I cannot connect to the internet when I assigned a static ip address to it?
Please feel free to let me know if you need any output data.
Thanks!
richard

just some quick thoughts:
are you certain that you are configuring the correct netmask in your manual config? If you cannot ping hosts on the same subnet, nor are you able able to ping the default router (which needs to be on the same subnet as your system), that comes to mind.
was your static addressing info provided by your network administrator or did you guess? assuming that the static info is on the same subnet as the DHCP provided info (a /big/ assumption), the "ifconfig -a " info from the DHCP configuration will show the netmask.

WRT54G v5 forgets static IP address

My WRT54G v5 forgets it's assigned static IP address.
While accessing the router's settings via a web browser, while in "Status," "Login Type" correctly lists "Static," but the number appears as all zeros.
Clicking back to "Setup" (where all numbers appear just fine) and then clicking "Refresh" makes the IP address reappear in the "Status" window.
Any idea why the address in "Status" gets reset to zero?
FWIW, we own five IP addresses. Address #1 is the main IP address we use for our DSL router. The IP address in the status window is one of the secondary addresses.
I'm using Firmware v1.00.1. We're an all-Macintosh, and so I need to know if any firmware updates adversely affect Macs (I seem to recall seeing something about that somewhere in this site).
We don't connect wirelessly all that often, so I don't know exactly when the reset occurs (the wireless feature is primarily for guests to our office).
Thanks for any thoughts.
M.

Yes, there's the latest firmware update for your router and the version number for the new version is 1.01.1... upgrading to that firmware could fix your problem
