DHCP client and manual hostname ?

If i use my solaris8 system using dhcp i get the hostname "unknown". Thats seems to be normal.
Is it possible to be a solaris8 dhcp-client AND use a manual-entered hostname, NOT one wich is given by the DHCP server ?
thanks.

If you configure the system as DHCP client, then when the system
comes up it will ask for the host/ip information from the
DHCP server, and may overwrite the manually entered hostname.
This is something you will have to try out.
Thx

Cisco ASA 5505 and DHCP Client Problems

Hi, i have a problem. I've connected my ASA appliance to an ADSL modem, and i dont get an DHCP address on the outside interface (e0/0). I use the asa-722-19.bin firmware.
I turned on the debugging for the DHCP client and could see that the ASA device was sending out broadcasts but a reply never came. Instead I connected the device to my internal network where the ASA got an address instantly.
I read somewhere that if I was to use ?ip address dhcp client-id fastethernet 0″, then I got an address from the ISP.
I tried looking for a similar command on the ASA5505 but I couldn?t find anything. I did however find a page on the Cisco site confirming my suspicions. It said some ISP?s require the client-id field of the DHCPDISCOVER request to be filled.
I've also read that this issue has beed fixed since a few weeks, now they have released version 7.2(2).22 where you can define ?dhcp-client client-id interface outside? in global configuration mode. Im running 7.2(2).19 and i cannot find any command like that in my appaiance. How do i fix my problem ? Or how do i get about recieving the 7.2(2).22 firmware update.
Regards !
Leif

Hi again! I thought I should share the solution that worked for me. I use software version 7.2(2) on this device. ASDM 5.2(2). In ASDM open configuration / Interfaces. Click in outside (my case 0/0) and press Edit. Then open the tab Advanced and set the correct Active Mac address. Fore some reason its empty by default and the ISP/modem don't like that. You will find the correct MAC address under the help menu / "About ASA". Im sure there is some another way to do this but this is a simple "how-to" that works with Swedens biggest ISP and their standard DSL modem.
When I used a Linksys DSL modem in bridge mode without the MAC address set I got an inside IP adress (192.168.x.x) from the modem to the ASA. After setting the MAC address I just had to do a renew and got the outside address right away. /Bjorn
(future users searchwords: no ip from isp, ASA 5505 and cable modem).

Apple built-in vpn client and dhcp hostnames

We have a number of Mac clients in our office which uses MS for dhcp and dns.
I've noticed that the mac clients when wired directly into the office network successfully get a dhcp lease and report their hostnames accurately to the dhcp server. However when these same clients connect to the office network via VPN (using the built-in vpn utility with Cisco IPSEC) they get a dhcp lease as expected, but do not register a hostname with the lease on the dhcp server. The lease is assigned to a blank hostname.
I assume this is a pretty common issue. Has anyone found a way to configure the vpn client to send the hostname along with the connection, either via the client config or through some other method?
Thanks.

The VPN server is a Cisco 3030, however only the Mac clients have this issue. Windows and linux clients report their hostnames to dhcp properly even when VPN connected.

Router reports garbage characters for Mac's DHCP client hostname

I've got a Linksys wifi router giving nice wireless access to my 17" powerbook (OSX 10.3.9). But when I look at the DHCP active IP table, this one (and another Mac I have on the network) both show up with garbage characters on the "client hostname" even though I have the "DHCP client Id" field filled in in the Network, TCP/IP system preference pane. How do I get the router to see my client's name?
Mike

Might help if you told us what the "garbage" was. It
might help indentify what it relates to because it's
highly unlikely to be truly random. It's more likely
to be based on the client's MAC address.
ok. It is, exactly: ¸#Ð„ª
In any case, DHCP client ID and hostname are not
related, so you might be out of luck depending on
what the Linksys is doing.
ah! Sorry - I thought that's what it wanted. So, where on my machine do I set the client hostname? Where does a router grab this info from? I've got a PC connected to this thing which does report its name correctly.
Thanks,
Mike

Missing hostname in DHCP Client Table???

I give up. I've searched the internet for an answer to why my mac's hostname does not show up in my WRT54G's DHCP Client Table and come up empty. I see host names for my windows and linux boxes, but not my macbook pro. Anyone have a clue?
Thanks,
Steve

I have a BEFSR81 with the latest firmware (2.51.3) and I have also noticed missing hostnames in the DHCP Client Table. I have a couple of scenarios that this appears to happen.
The first case is if the router is power cycled, the DHCP Client Table will obviously be empty, but even waiting up to 24 hour later for a default renewal, the hostnames are not updated and most remain empty. The only way to get the hostnames to appear is to reboot the machines where the hostname field is empty.
The second case is that some of my network devices never have hostnames in the router's DHCP Client Table.
The last case is when the entire network (machines as well as the router) is restarted. The router is started first and there are no Clients in the DHCP Client table. Then the clients are started and the DHCP Client Table fills up. After 24 hours, the client table will slowly degrade to have several missing hostnames, but the machines are still there and they are at the same address.
Is this a known problem with this router?
I had a Vonage router (Linksys RT31P2) and never had these problems. On the RT31P2, the DHCP Client table always had all the hostnames.

WRT400N - issues with brief disconnects and DHCP client table

Hello,
I recently bought a WRT400N to replace my (seemingly) dead WRT54GS. It worked great out of the box, and setup was quick and intuitive, just like my previous router. It came with firmware version 1.0.10 B19.
I'm having two problems. First, while playing some online games, I'm getting brief disconnects every 2-3 minutes. It's usually just enough to make the screen studder (I'll get a "Connection Interrupted" message for a split second), and then it goes away. It's happening often enough where it's causing issues, though. My computer is connected directly to the router via CAT 6, and the only component that has changed since the issue started is the router itself. To add confusion to the problem, when I do a tracert to something like Google, most of the hops come back fine, but I'm noticing it takes 4-5 seconds before it lists an IP address for any given hop, UNLESS a domain name is specified. The actual columns with the latency numbers are filled in quickly, but the IP address itself at the end of the line hangs for a minute. For example, the final hop, "12 22 ms 24 ms 23 ms od-in-f104.google.com [64.233.161.104]" is displayed instantly, but any hops along the way that just show an IP address, such as "11 27 ms 26 ms 25 ms 216.239.48.190" have a long pause before the IP address (bold) is displayed. Normally I would think it's a problem with the routers along the way, but the delay even happens before it displays the hop to my router's IP - 192.168.1.1. Very weird. I wasn't sure if these issues were related.
The second problem is the DHCP client table in the router's web administration utility. On my old router, the DHCP client table always displayed all computers that were connected to the router (DHCP set to auto). With the WRT400N, I'm noticing only a few of the machines are actually showing up. They're all being assigned IPs without any issues, and they're all able to connect; they're just not showing up in the table. I often check the client table to see who's connected or grab a MAC address when I need to mess with QoS or access restriction, so the fact that some clients are missing is a bit annoying. The old router didn't have this issue.
Thank you.

As you are facing this problem with the Wired Computer, then i think you need to change some settings on your Router. Once you login to the Router GUI, below the Setup tab you will find MTU, which will be set to AUTO,So change it to Manual and change the Size from 1500 to 1365 and click on Save Settings. Once you are done, now try to play the Games and check if you are facing the same problem or not.
If still you face the same problem, then i think you need to Re-Flash the firmware on you Router.. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads .........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

DHCP client hostname unknown

I have a SunBlade using Solaris 9 with the DHCP client. I am requesting the DHCP information from a w2k box that is sharing my DSL connection. I cannot seem to get the configuration to provide a hostname (always comes back "unknown"). Any suggestions?

Hi there,
Edit the file /etc/init.d/network and change the line that reads
"dhcp") hostname=`/sbin/dhcpinfo Hostname` ;;
to
# "dhcp") hostname=`/sbin/dhcpinfo Hostname` ;;
"dhcp") hostname=`/usr/bin/cat /etc/nodename` ;;
Then, edit the file /etc/init.d/inetsvc and change the line that reads
hostname=`/sbin/dhcpinfo Hostname`
to
# hostname=`/sbin/dhcpinfo Hostname`
hostname=`/usr/bin/cat /etc/nodename`
Save the files and reboot the system. The system's hostname will be the
entry in the file /etc/nodename.
Regards,
Chris

I want to reserve a static IP address on my Airport extreme. What is the difference between reserving by MAC Address and DHCP Client ID?

I want to understand the differences in the way you can reserve a static address for a device on the network. I had previously set the device itself to an address and then reserved it with DHCP Client ID, which I thought was just the devices static addresss. I'm not sure if this was in fact correct or just happend to work. I know what a MAC address is, but I'm not really sure what the DHCP Client ID is. So it would be great if someone could clarify it, and the difference between reserving address by MAC Address or DHCP Client ID.

A MAC address is a unique identification consisting of letters and numbers in a form that looks like this:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Every network device has a MAC address, which can be found on a label on the bottom or back of the device. Apple calls this the Ethernet ID.
A DHCP Client ID is an optional name that you can assign to a device. For example, on your Mac....
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on Ethernet
Click Advanced at the lower right
You may be able to edit the DHCP Client ID here....for example.....you could enter MJ500's MacBook in the space provided. That would be the Client ID of your Mac.

DHCP getting self IP address and manually too has no response.

I have 13" White MacBook Pro didn't get an IP via DHCP from my USB Modem. It gives the self assigned IP 169.254.X.X. and manually too not working. Please help me what should i do for my internet connection.

There's no common issue.
All a self-assigned IP address means is that DHCP did not assign you an IP address.
This can occur for a variety reasons, from the DHCP server only issuing one address per network (many DSL modems do this) to running out of addresses (many cable modems will issue up to five but no more, and many routers will not issue more than ten.)
The brute force fix attempt is, as mentioned above, to power off your Macs and other machines, power off the router, then power off the DSL or cable modem. Wait a minute, then power them up in reverse order (DSL/Cable modem, then a minute later the router, then a minute later your PCs/Macs.)

Why do some devices show up as wireless clients and not DHCP clients

When looking at the 'Logs and Statistics' section it shows me the MAC addresses of 3 wireless devices I have on my W/LAN (Macbook and 2 wireless PVR's) in the 'wireless clients' section but no info on the 2 wireless PVR's in the DHCP clients section. Only the Macbook appears there with its ip address shown. Can anyone tell me how to find out the ip addresses of these 2 other devices. I tried connecting one of the PVR's via a cat 5 but that one still doesn't show up in the DHCP clients section.

Try scanning with WakeOnLan to get a list of all devices and their IP addresses. If the devices got fixed IP addresses at the factory, they won't show up under DHCP.

MacBook pro and iPhone 3g dont show up in router's dhcp client list.

All of my devices except my MacBook pro and iPhone 3g showup in me dhcp client list. firewall is off on both, router as well as MacBook. what could be the reason.

AceNeerav wrote:
yes… they do get IPs and since Monday they are on fixed IPs for ISP requirements. All services work fine except downloading from my ISP's Direct Connec Hub. People can download from my machine though. I guess something to do with OS X not being recognized in the dhcp client list. Interestingly windows on my bootcamp does get recognized.
If your devices are connected to your router then they should not have fixed ip addresses assigned by your ISP or by you. They should be set to get their addresses via dhcp from your router. If they have fixed ip addresses this is why they don't show up in the router's dhcp list, the router did not assign them dhcp addresses.

DHCP client does not work poperly after systemd and Gnome 3.6 upgrade

Upgraded my system today from Gnome 3.4 to 3.6 (and systemd was updated as well), and since then acquiring an IP address using DHCP does not work anymore.
I am using IPv4 only internally, but neither dhclient or dhcpcd manages to get an IPv4 address.
It seems like IPv6 is priority one, and beacuse there is no IPv6 DHCP server available NetworkManager aborts the whole setup process.
To make sure that IPv6 should not be considered, I have changed "method" in NetworkManager to "Ignore" for IPv6.
I have also tried to downgrade NM to 0.9.6.0 from 0.9.6.4 (since that version works on another, not upgraded, machine), without any result.
Also switched dhclient to dhcpcd, without any result.
The machine is a "pure" systemd machine.
DHCP works for other devices in the network.
Versions:
systemd 195-2
NetworkManager 0.9.6.4
isc-dhclient-4.2.3-P2
I have no issues on a system where following versions are running:
systemd 189-4
NetworkManager 0.9.6.0
dhcpcd 5.6.2
Log: http://pastebin.com/2wMC0JLe

Think I have identified the issue now.
Neither dhcpcd or dhclient is sending the host name properly to the DHCP server anymore. I had an IP address reserved in the DHCP server for my host and after deleting this reservation my host is able to acquire an IP (dynamic) address. The reserved static address could never be acquired.
Conclusion: dhclient and dhcpcd is not sending the host name as before, causing the DHCP server to get stuck (while waiting for the host name) whenever a NIC with a reserved IP address is requesting an IP address.
Downgrading the dhcp clients has not yet worked, so there might be some underlying component that is causing the problem. ath5k? systemd?

Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi hotspot?

Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.

Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

Configure a VPN client and Site to Site VPN tunnel

Hi, I'm setting up a test network between 2 sites. SiteA has a 515E PIX and SiteB has a 501 PIX. Both sites have been setup with a site to site VPN tunnel, see SiteA config below. I also require that remote clients using Cisco VPN client 3.6 be able to connect into SiteA, be authenticated, get DHCP info and connect to hosts inside the network. However, when I add these config lines, see below, to SiteA PIX it stops the vpn tunnel to SiteB. However, the client can conect and do as needed so that part of my config is correct but I cannot see why the site to site vpn tunnel is then no longer.

Cisco VPN client and SSH

Hi,
I am using Cisco VPN client 4.9.01.0180 to connect to remote server. From the Cisco client, I see that I am connecting to the remote server.
Using the terminal, with command:
ssh 192.168.1.2 or ssh [email protected] to connect to the remote server.
However, the output is:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.2 port 22: Operation timed out
I don't know what is going wrong. The Cisco client 's setting is simple, and no problem using Windows. Do I have to modify the Mac OS?
Regards,
Terence

hi,
sorry for asking stupid. how and what did you change your subnet to ?
i have almost the exact same problem (same client and on Windows it does work and I cannot ssh to a Mac in the work office) furthermore i am using a wireless connection (via Airport Express) ... not sure if that matters.
do i just go into the Network Prefs and select the tcp/ip tab, and manually change the ip-addresses ?
my settings (DHCP) currently are
ip 10.0.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 10.0.1.1
The strange thing for me is that if I Remote Desktop to a PC (via VPN) on the same office net as the above Mac I cannot ssh (via Putty), but when i am physically at the PC i am able to ssh.
any help appreciated
