Connecting DHCP and AD

Hi!
I have a question about bounding DHCP and AD. I´m trying to find out is there a solution for that kind of idea. 
First of all today we have Linux DHCP server and Microsoft AD. What we do today is configuring MAC and IP in Lunux DHCP so that computer can get to network. It´s a pain in the ass cause it´s even hard to find out what IP is free and what´s not. What we want
to manage is to get that DHCP configuration automated. Our one question was that is there a solution to add a MAC address or IP or both to every AD Computer object so that if a machine gets to the network then DHCP is asking AD what IP should be given out
to that object and then AD is the central configuration point. If there is no object then no IP. 
It´s a very weird idea but maybe there are some solutions for that? In our environment every computer MAC and IP must be linked so there is no option for dynamic IP´s. We can change our DHCP server aswell if it makes anythng easier or possible. We just want
to automate and link computer objects and IP´s.
Bye

  • My iPad suddenly stopped connecting to my home network. It shows the network to. Choose from but there is no IP address or other information on the network page. It is set on DHCP and proxy is set at auto. Do I have another setting wrong?

    My iPad suddenly stopped working with my home network.  It shows the network to choose from but will not connect. When I look at details in that network it does not show IP address or any other info for the network.  Setting is on DHCP and http proxy is set on auto. Network is active and can connect on wife's iPad and other home computers.  Do I have another setting wrong?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Ethernet-connected Devices and DHCP

    Hi!
    I have an ethernet-connected device (http://www.avid.com/US/products/artist-mix) which I'm having some issues with. I currently have it plugged into the primary ethernet port on my Mac Pro, with the LAN connected to the secondary ethernet port.
    Some suggestions have been to assign it a static IP to the device to avoid conflicts. Which leads me to my question:
    If the device is connected via ethernet to my Mac, is it assigned an IP address via DHCP like a device connected directly to the LAN does? Or would it remain separate from the network? If connecting it to my Mac does indeed attach it to the network via DHCP, then I will get on assigning a static IP for it.
    I realise this isn't really a Mac Pro based question, but I know there are people in this forum who can help me.
    Many thanks for any help in advance,
    Steve

    So I have the modem/router in DHCP/NAT mode, and Airport Extreme in Bridged mode.
    This would be the simplest, correct way to configure your network.
    Unless you need some special feature from the AirPort Extreme....that would require that the AirPort Extreme handle DHCP and NAT service.....like the Guest Network feature......then it would probably be best to keep things simple and leave them "as is" on your network.
    Either the modem needs to be in Bridge Mode and the AirPort Extreme handles DHCP and NAT.....or.....the modem/router handles DHCP and NAT and the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
    it does not really matter which device handles DHCP and NAT as long as your feature requirements are being met on the network.
    Personally, I strongly prefer to use a simple modem....not a modem/router....and another separate router to control the network. But, your ISP may not offer that option.

  • How share ADSL Internet connection to all machines without RRAS but using Windows Server DHCP and DNS

    Hello!
    I have this scenario on my small network with 10 PCs (connecting from outside to inside my network):
    1) Modem with ADSL connection
    2) Wireless Router with public IP on WAN interface 
    3) Switch 
    4) Server 2012 with DC/DHCP/DNS (with 2 NICs) and others servers/desktops machines 
    I want to share internet to servers and desktops.
    I was able to share internet by 2 methods searching on google, but I am not satisfied with them:
    First method - Using the Wireless Router and its DHCP Server
    I turned on the DHCP inside the Wireless Router. All machines will get an IP and be able to go to Internet, but I don’t have the ability to control the DHCP and DNS in the router
    how I would like to have, because the server DHCP and DNS must be turned off on Windows Server.
    Second method - Using the Windows Server RRAS NAT, DHCP and DNS server
    I have 2 NICs on the server:
    NIC1 - CONNECTED TO SWITCH
    IP: 192.168.1.1
    MSK: 255.255.255.0
    GTW:192.168.1.1
    DNS:192.168.1.1
    NIC2 - CONNECTED TO WIRELESS ROUTER
    (the LAN IP of the wireless router is 172.16.0.1)
    IP: 172.16.0.2
    MSK: 255.255.0.0
    GTW: 172.16.0.1
    DNS: 172.16.0.1
    After installing and setting the RRAS with NAT at the Server, the internet began to work on all machines but at some times the internet stop to load some
    random webpages, and if you hit a couple of times the F5 button, the webpage open sometimes, but very, very slow.
    I saw other people in foruns saying that RRAS is not very good, and could cause weird things at internet connection, so, now I think the internet is horrible
    because of RRAS. After notice that internet is bad I tested it connecting a cable direct to the lan ports of the Wireless Router, and the internet works fast and perfect.
    What is the best thing to do in my case to maintain Windows Server DHCP and DNS turned on and Internet be shared without loss of quality?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    please deploy according to this network topology. please turn off DHCP from router and use internal NAT function to share internet. Detailed configurations:
    Router part:
    LAN address: 192.168.1.1/24
    DHCP part:
    scope name : site name
    address pool: 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254
    scope options:
    router:192.168.1.1
    DNS server:192.168.1.2
    DNS part:
    configure a forwarder to point to the public DNS address such as 8.8.8.8
    with these settings, you can maintain Windows Server DHCP and DNS turned on and Internet be shared via hardware router.

    Mike

  • Problems setting up Verizon DSL (DHCP) and AirPort Extreme

    I have Verizon DSL with DHCP and old router (Linksys WRT54G). I've bought iMac and new router (AirPort Extreme) to connect to iMac wirelessly. I have a Windows computer connected to the Linksys WRT54G. Now here is the story. I can connect verizon DSL modem (it's in bridge mode) to PC directly and connect to the Internet. When I plug AirPort between the DSL modem and PC, auto-configuration doesn't work, AirPort utility says there is problem with internet connection. Router simply can't obtain IP address from verizon's DHCP server. I've tried to copy DNS server addressed from the IP configuration in Windows, the AirPort light went green and Windows indicated connection as successful, however I still cound't browse the Internet because gateway is not set. Any ideas how to make AirPort connect to the internet using DHCP instead of manual settings? I can try to do it from the mac if needed, I don't think it would make any difference though.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Sorry, I can't quite track exactly what you are trying to do.
    What would the network that you are trying to set up look like?
    Modem>AirPort Extreme>Computers? Are you saying that you won't be using the Linksys in the new setup?
    Sounds like you need to set the Airport Extreme up to supply PPPoE service (which the Linksys is doing now-if the modem is in bridge mode), but I will wait for your response before offering specific info.
    If you've been fiddling with settings, we may need to do a hard-reset on the AX to start over. You should not be fiddling with DNS, etc. Almost always, these settings are done automatically when you have the device set up correctly.

  • Apple Airport Extreme Base Station for PPPoE, DHCP and NAT with ActionTec DSL modem

    I just spent several hours trying to track down proper instructions for setting up my Apple AEBS to do the PPPoE, DHCP and NAT while connected to an ActionTec M1000 (no wireless module).  It turns out my initial set ups on both devices were correct, but that the order for rebooting and reconnecting the two devices is critical.  All of the threads I found on this forum and on many others suggested this was not possible, but it is.  What I don't yet know is whether it is the best method for running my home network DSL connection to my ISP (CenturyLink). 
    The instructions I found that worked come courtesy of Brandon Konkle's blog and are both simple and clear:  http://brandon.konkle.us/post/19637529637/centurylink-actiontec-q1000-airport-ex treme-bridge
    The proper settings for the ActionTec DSL Modem can be found under Advanced Setup/IP Adressing/WAN IP Address
    Click RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging then click on Apply.
    (see also http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modems/m1000/pdf/M1000_BRIDGE.pdf )
    To reduce time, do this BEFORE you reset your AEBS then set the AEBS so that you don't have to wait for the AEBS to reboot. 
    In contrast to what Brandon described for the Q1000 modem, my AEBS never reconnected to the modem (he describes his as getting an IP from his ISP, then dropping it then getting another over and over - mine never got an IP).  Once you have reset both devices as described, the critical steps I have not found described elsewhere were:
    1.  Disconnect the power from both the modem and the Airport Extreme.
    2.  Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the two devices
    3.  Restore power to the 2 devices and allow them to fully reboot.  For the ActionTec M1000, this is indicated when the lights stop blinking.  (Note that the Internet light will NOT be lit in this instance since the modem is acting only as a bridge.  You will NOT have an Internet connection until the AEBS is reconnected.)  The AEBS will be blinking yellow.
    4.  Reconnect the Ethernet cable between the devices (make sure on the M1000 that you are using the connector with the circle icon over it, not the arrow icon).
    Within about 60 seconds, the AEBS light went to steady green and the connection to the Internet was restored.
    Now I have to see if this is a more stable configuration than the flaky one I had before while using the AEBS as a bridge and the M1000 to do everything. 
    Does anyone think or know if it will make a difference?

    No one can accurately predict in advance what the actual results might be. I've tried both ways with different products and cannot say that one method is better than the other.  What works is best.
    In theory, it is preferable to have the modem provide the PPPoE connection service since it is the device connected directly to the Internet.
    In practice, results vary depending on the service provider, products used, phase of the moon, alignment of the planets, etc.

  • How to set up DHCP and NAT for QNAP NAS MyCloud service?

    I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) attached to my DSL model (no router in the modem).  My QNAP NAS is attached via ethernet to the QNAP NAS.  My iMac (running AirPort Utility 6.x) is connected to the AEBS via wifi.
    I've found several folks who've tried this (and apparently succeeded) but I'm a networking novice and am having trouble making this work.  What I did was to go into the AirPort utility and in the networking section configure "DHCP and NAT" and then called out the static IP and MAC address of the QNAP NAS (as well as the ports I'd like to remain open).  However, when I did this and applied the changes, my iMac (connected to the AEBS via wifi) could no longer see the AEBS, which then required me to reset the AEBS, re-configure it back to the previous known good conifiguration and start over.  After about 5 cycles of this I gave up.
    So, what am I doing wrong here?  Do I need to go in and configure every device that is going to access the AEBS as static and call out each device's IP and MAC address? (hopefully not, that'd be a major PITA).
    Help.  Anyone?

    When I run diagnostics with the QNAP, here is the reply I get (IPs redacted):

  • RV320 DHCP and WAN questions

    Hello all,
    So far I love the RV320 its super fast and works really good (with 2 WAN connections).          
    I though have a few questions hoping someone could tell me:
    1) Under DHCP Server it gives the option of to use DNS from ISP or DNS Proxy, what is the main difference between those two options?
    Right now I have this set to DNS from ISP.
    2) What are the pros and cons of enabling IPV6 DHCP and what is the best setting for that (Yes both ISPs I have suppor IPV6)?
    3) What is the best option to set as client lease time for DHCP? (its set to 1440 default).
    4) On the System Summary page I see both WAN1 and WAN2 connected (i set it to
    Load Balance (Auto Mode) but for WAN2 i always see: Connected (Inactive)
    Why does it say inactive?
    Thank you!

    Found answers to most things now except for:

  • DHCP and FTP issues.

    I have a server setup running server 2012 R2 with DHCP and filezilla for FTP, and a desktop running windows 7. The server can ping the desktop, but
    the desktop can not ping the server, however the desktop can get a DHCP address from the server. How can I get it to connect to the ftp service? I choose to use filezilla because I could not get the anonymous logon to work for IIS. 

    Hi,
    Have you checked windows firewall on the server side if allows ICMP, by default firewall is on and blocking ICMP.
    http://www.sysprobs.com/how-to-enable-ping-on-windows-server-2012-r2-firewall
    Also see if port 21 for FTP (assuming filezzila using default port) is allowed in firewall.
    Hope this helps.

  • Combined dhcp and static ip?

    I'd like to be able to specify a static ip address and get the remaining stuff (dns, gateway, and whatever) from dhcp. It this possible?

    wudu wrote:
    I know that there is an option for network-manager to get only the addres from DHCP but I think there's nothing for what you want.
    I'm not sure what you want to do. Do you have changing DNS servers and gateways?
    If you have control over the DHCP server you could do that by static DHCP (your pc gets the same address every time based on the MAC address). If the DHCP server is running on a router you often don't have this as option (directly).
    Other possibility is to get everything from DHCP and then change your IP address manually or with a script.
    Changing the ip address afterwards is an idea.  I've been with my ISP for a long time and they have changed the addresses of the DNS servers.
    Being able to specify just a static network interface address seems like a useful thing to me in a home environment; I want a static address so I can easily ssh to the machine, and the other stuff, DNS, gateway, etc. I can let DHCP set up.
    Are you saying that you want to set a static Public IP address on the interface that connects to your home ISP? Like, your ISP changes your public IP address which makes it hard to ssh back home.
    If this is the problem you are trying to solve, you would be better off just buying like a .info domain for $2 and setting up Dynamic DNS. I find Hurricane Electric to be a good DNS host. They will let you add Dynamic A records. Then you just set a cron job to update the dns records like every 30min's to be sure it is always correct.
    With this promo code from the Linux Action Show you will save 35% off your order of the domain.

  • TS1398 ipad setup - can't join my wifi, entered wrong password and now wants DHCP and other info

    just got an iPad and set it up, synched with my computer. Then I turned on WiFi (to connect to my home FiOS router) and when it asked for password I entered the wrong one. So, I tried again and now, instead of prompting me for password, it's asking for DHCP and lots of other detailed info that I don't know.I tried turning wifi off and then back on ... same result when I tried to join (the DHCP et. al. prompts). I tried turning the iPad off and back on ... same result.
    What to do??? I'm so anxious to try out my new iPad
    (P.S. I have an iPhone and have no problem accessing WiFi. This issue with the iPad was obviously triggered by my entering the wrong password)

    Go to Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name - tap on the blue arrow to the right of the name and then tap - Forget this Network in the next window at the top.
    Restart your iPad for good measure and then go back to Settings>WiFi>Your home network name and start over again.

  • Kindly Is the Linksys E4200 Dual Band Router compatible with DHCP and VPN ?

    Kindly 
    Is the Linksys E4200 Dual Band Router compatible with DHCP and VPN?
    Thanks,

    Linksys/Cisco E4200 are compatible with DHCP. Second, these Wireless-N routers are only capable of enabling the VPN traffic to pass through the device.  You will need a VPN router and software to create the actual network to connect with your VPN client.

  • SG 200-08P - connecting PCs and Phones

    Hello,
    we have a serious problem over here with some new SG 200-08P switches firmware: 1.0.6.2
    They are setup behind 2 SG-200 50 layer 2 switches - actual firmware 1.3.2.02.
    We have 4 VLANs: 1 for DATA and 2 for PHONE, 10 fpr MGMNT and 20 for GUESTS - on the 08-P only VLAN 1+2 is needed. CDR protocoll is active.
    Ports 1-7 on the 08-P is setup as "Trunk, 1U, 2T", parameter: Auto Negotiation ON. We tried FlowControl ON and OF - makes no difference. Port 8 is setup as "Trunk, 1U, 2T, 10T" to the floor switch. The connecting port on the floor switch SG-200 50-switch ist setup as "Trunk, 1U, 2T, 10T".
    One of the problem switches: on port 1-4 of the 08-P there are connected 4 Cisco 6921 phones . On Port 5-7 there are connected 1 HP Z400 and 2 Elite 7200 PCs. One of the 6921 phones is switching to a DELL Latitude 6420 laptop.
    So it happens every morning, that the first staring PC ist working fine, then the switch has to be switched off and on to get the next PCs connected to the network. The switching 6921 phone does not connect at all. But after some more switching off/on it works.
    We thried another 08-P hardware with the same config, we tried an older firmware level ... we setup the PoE-phone ports as GENERAL 1U, 2T. We gave external power to the phones so that PoE is not overloaded ... nothing helps. Only some switching off/on helps and the PC gets its IP address from DHCP and the phones all come up an find the CU 6000.
    Is there someone outside who may give a helping hand on this?
    Thanks so far...

    Hi Jens-Peter,
    I would try disabling smartports and green ethernet on the SG200 switches.  Then you will need to hardcode each of the ports to have the necessary settings.  Often times when a reboot is required to restore functionality smartports is the cause. 
    As for the 6921 phones, you need to be sure to have auto voice vlan enabled.  Otherwise the phones will not be able to pick up the correct VLAN via CDP.  Let me know, if you have any questions.

  • Loosing internet when in DHCP and NAT mode

    Hello and thank you for your help.  I am a novice.
    I am using a 2009 macbook pro 10.7.5 with Mountain Lion
    Originally my airport extreme setup was for " DHCP and NAT ".
    Since yesterday, I am only able to get internet via Bridge mode, but I have to sign in to my server network first, like a hotspot
    This means that my internet timing is limited and the finder shows other personal computers that does not belong to my personal network.  My iphone cannot connect to my personal network without signing in the internet service provider website first as well
    What happens when I try to update and restart AE to DHCP and NAT, is that I loose internet and get the following message in the airport extreme icon :
    "DOUBLE NAT:
    This airport base station has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port.
    It is connected to a device or network that is using NAT to provide IP addresses.
    Change your Airport base station from using DHCO and NAT to bridge mode."
    Now, I do not want bridge mode
    My attempt to solve the problem was resetting AE to factory.  This created a new network. The new network appears in the network icon and it is WPA2 personal protected, like the previous one.
    I appreciate your time and look foreward to solve my problem with some help in here - thank you again

    Originally my airport extreme setup was for " DHCP and NAT ".
    If it was, and you had a modem/router or gateway type of device "upstream" on the network, then you created a Double NAT error on the network.
    Sometimes, you can get away with this on a simple network, and AirPort Utility does provide the option to "ignore" the error on the network, so the AirPort Extreme will display a green status light.....instead of blinking amber, which signals that something is amiss.
    "DOUBLE NAT:
    This airport base station has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port.
    It is connected to a device or network that is using NAT to provide IP addresses.
    Change your Airport base station from using DHCO and NAT to bridge mode."
    If you want to run in DHCP and NAT mode, you will have a Double NAT error on the network. Click the option to "ignore" the error.
    Then, power cycle the entire network. That means powering everything off, waiting a minute, then starting the modem first and let it run a minute or two, then start the next device the same way. Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up.

  • Connection ==null and Connection is closed, difference

    Hi experts,
    I wonder what are the differences between "Connection==null" and "Connection is closed"?
    I closed a connection on one JSP page after a bean has retrieved data. Then, on the same page I call another bean to connect to the database. Because the Connection object has been created earlier, therefore Connection is not NULL, but it is closed. So, the second bean has to initiate another connection(if I knew how to test the "closed" status)
    Is it true that if the Connection is closed, then it should become null?
    I think I must have make quite a few mistakes in above statement:). Please help. Thanks a lot.

    connection.isClosed() will tell you if the connection object is closed or not. If it is closed, then the connection object can be dropped because you will not be able to create any new statements from that connection object. Just recreate another connection to use when this occurs.
