DHCP configuration options

Can anyone tell me how to change the DHCP configuration options - the same information found in dhclient.conf in linux/unix - under OSX? A corporate client of mine provides wireless internet at all their facilities, but no one with a Mac has ever been able to connect. The wireless connection comes up and is stable, but the Mac never receives an IP address. I am fairly certain they forward DHCP requests to a centralized server that handles multiple LAN segments. I suspect something in the format of the DHCP packet, perhaps one of the many options, is causing their router to drop the Mac's DHCP request packet. I have captured DHCP requests from OSX and Win2K using Ethereal, so I have some idea what options to try changing, but I need to know how to go about it. I've tried adding a dhclient.conf file, but OSX seems to ignore this.
Needless to say, this is not a simple question and I realize I'll be fiddling at low levels. However, I've tried everything there is to try with the control panel, command lines, etc. I generally have no problems getting WiFi to work across Mac and windoze whether at home, in hotel rooms, or at corporate locations, but this one really has me stumped. Any help is appreciated.

How are you connecting to the wireless network? Is it a closed network with security, or an open network? There are a lot of different protocols in play with a wireless connection, particularly with Cisco equipment. It's possible Macs don't support one of the protocols where Windows does. There may be extra security such as DHCP client IDs, or using DHCP reservations only. There could be MAC address security setup on the wireless APs.
I would ask one of your PC buddies help you find an unused address. Set that manually and see if everything works. If it does you know you have a DHCP problem. If it doesn't there's a problem with the wireless connection

Windows 2008 DNS & DHCP configuration steps for 11gR2 GI install with GNS

Hi,
I have windows 2008 R2 server with DNS & DHCP services installed. I am planning to install 2 node RAC with GNS option.
The problem is i could not find any document to setup the windows 2008 DNS server for the below steps.
a. Configure GNS VIP : add a name resolution entry in a DNS for the GNS virtual IP address in the forward Lookup file.
gns-server IN A <virtual_IP>
where gns-server is the GNS virtual IP address given during grid installation.
b. Configure the GNS sub-domain delegation: add an entry in the DNS to establish DNS Lookup that directs the DNS resolution of a GNS subdomain to the cluster.
clusterdomain.example.com. NS gns-server.example.com.
where clusterdomain.example.com is the GNS subdomain (provided during grid installation) that you
delegate and gns-server.clustername.com resolves to GNS virtual IP address.
I am aware that this configuration steps has to be taken care by the System administrator. Here is what he tried and the results.
My SA was able to Configure GNS VIP in the DNS and the Nslookup works fine for this.
When he Configures the GNS sub-domain delegation the nslookup fails when trying to resolve the SCAN name.
Any step by step tutorial for this windows 2008 DNS & DHCP configuration for Oracle GNS setup would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

How can I use Powershell to "Complete dhcp configuration" ?

I installed the DHCP Server feature with Powershell and now I'm wondering how to "Complete dhcp configuration" also with Powershell?
Here's what I did (example):
Install-WindowsFeature DHCP -IncludeManagementTools
Add-DhcpServerv4Scope -name "Corpnet" -StartRange 10.0.0.100 -EndRange 10.0.0.200
-SubnetMask 255.255.255.0
Set-DhcpServerv4OptionValue -DnsDomain corp.contoso.com -DnsServer 10.0.0.1
Add-DhcpServerInDC -DnsName dc1.corp.contoso.com
"Server Manager |> DHCP" now informs me that "Configuration required for DHCP Server at DC1" and by selecting "More" I can "Complete dhcp configuration". So, how do I complete the task with Powershell?
Thanks!

For a very belated answer, you need to set a registry value to tell it that the configuration has been completed.
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerManager\Roles\12 -Name ConfigurationState -Value 2;
Restart-Service DHCPServer;

How to start a systemd with certain configuration options?

Hello,
I do not understand what wiki page at arch that can help me to understand how I can start a daemon with certain configuration options. I know I can start with
# systemctl enable unit
, but for example, if I whanted to start "xboxdrv" with the option [--mimic-xpad-wireless --silent], or any other custom options I might need. I presume it can be done simple by dropping a .conf file somewhere, but I do not follow what wiki page that adress this - if it at all is possible?
Regards
Martin

Hello,
I followed the drop in option now in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … n_snippets
I tried to copy the whole xboxdrv.service and replace the ExecStart, and also only with ExecStart, like this:
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart= ExecStart = /usr/bin/xboxdrv -D -c /etc/default/xboxdrv --mimic-xpad-wireless --silent
The drop in examples above is in: /etc/systemd/system/xboxdrv.service.d/override.conf
Reatarting
I then made sure the new .conf file was loaded by:
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart xboxdrv
# system status xboxdrv
Result
In both cases, the service fails to restart and I recive this error
xboxdrv.service has more than one ExecStart= setting, which is only allowed for Type=oneshot services. Refusing.
Anyone know how I can start "xboxdrv" with my custom options "--mimic-xpad-wireless --silent" using this drop in function for systemd?
Regards
Martin

DHCP scope options: How TO

Hi,
I have a 10.4 server as DHCP for several VLANs. I need to setup DHCP scope options on two VLANs to be able to direct DHCP requests from a specific device (IP phones) to the relevant VLAN for obtianing IP addresses.
I cannot see bootpd.plist in /etc and not much information available online about this.
Found these two relevant posts but not much of help:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7200952
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5054131
I can export the serveradmin settings out and can see the entries but where and how do I make the scope entries? plist editor won't open the file and if i convert to csv in excel the existing data is there and logical but where do i enter my scope options?
any help in the right direction will be much appreciated.
cheers

You didn't try hard enough... ;). You need to use the Get-DhcpServerv4OptionValue cmdlet (or ...v6...).
Get-DhcpServerv4OptionValue -ComputerName <computername> | Where-Object OptionID -eq 6 | Select-Object Value
Edit: I think it's important that you know how I solved this problem. Perhaps you can put it to use yourself some time. The first thing I did was return all the 'get' DHCP cmdlets using this command: Get-Command -Module dhcp* -Name get-*. I quick scanned
the cmdlets (actually, they're functions) and found the word 'option.' I jumped over to the DHCP MMC snap-in and quickly figured out why that sounded familiar. In the GUI, you right-click Server Options to get to this setting. I then ran the function in my
example without piping it to the Where-Object cmdlet, and it return a value property. I then added the | Where-Object to filter down what was returned.
In writing this edit, I determined there's actually an -OptionID parameter, which means I could have better written my example. Here's that now:
Get-DhcpServerv4OptionValue -ComputerName <computername> -OptionID 6 | Select-Object Value
Always filter as close to the left as possible. That's means we don't want to pipe to something when we can filter with a built-in parameter.

Configure options

configure options now must be typed into PKGBUILD.
How about ability to change "optional" options with the dialog tool like in FreeBSD ports?
Last example - I try to build nmap on server without X and it fails while make with gtk not found error.
So I should run configure --help, find proper options to exclude GUI, type it into PKGBUILD and try to build again.
May be, it will enough to put 2-3 lines with configure...
for example
configure --prefix=/usr
# configure --prefix=/usr --without-nmapfe
# configure ....... some other options
Or may be some other way exists...

One of posible ways:
options_check=(--without-nmapfe --without-x)
options_select=(--with-gui=gtk --with-gui=qt --with-gui=xaw --with-gui=motif)
build{
./configure --prefix=/usr $selected_options

Persistent Flags in Collections: Allow as Configuration Option?

Great way to start the day seeing the launch of LR4 Beta!
As I'm watching the NAPP training videos Scott Kelby makes a point under the Enhancements section re: "persistent flags" that now carry over picks into Collections. When I first started using Lightroom (circa LR1 launch) the lack of this really frustrated me.
Until I realized the brilliance of it.
I will regularly make my picks/flags in the Library and then port these selects over to a Collection. Within that Collection, however, I would review and do sub-picks again (say for a subset of images that would go onto a website, or perhaps for individual selects that would go on for further processing, or those that would be candidates for a book). This was very convenient and I figured it was the basis of the non-persistent design. LR4 takes this away.
So with that in mind, while I recognize this new feature will be welcome by many I am hoping you will consider making it a configurable option under Preferences (Flag Persistence: On/Off) if it is not already there. This way the new version will not interrupt established workflows and users can customize based on their needs.
Thanks.

Please realize that this is a huge deal breaker for a lot of people. Local flags are essential to the point that I would consider not adopting Lightroom 4 in a workflow because of it. I use per-collection flags a lot to make selections or sub-selections. And I'd say 80-90% of the people I have seen using Lightroom in the last few years take advantage of local flags somewhere in their workflow.
Personally, I occasionally have collections of images selected by somebody else and I want to mark my picks from that collection, or the other way round (i.e. someone picks from my collection) and that should have nothing to do with a global pick or reject status.
Or let's say I have a collection "Candidates for Social Media" and I want to pick the ones that actually go online. With global flags, I can't do that since it affects the status in all collections, for instance in one like "Candidates for Print Ads". Putting picks into a new collection instead of using flags has the huge disadvantage that it doesn't show the selection in context of the original set (plus the target collection keyboard shortcut is a toggle, so unless I go through images strictly in sequence, I am in danger of accidently removing something I wanted to add) and makes it hard to look at alternates, go back and change things etc. Plus it's an additional unnecessary collection that clutters the collections panel and makes it slower to find the relevant stuff. I guess I could probably make virtual copies instead of putting images directly into collections to work around the problem, but I'd end up with several (or depending on the type of images a lot of) completely unnecessary virtual copies that clog up the main catalog. Not a viable workaround.
Anothe major issue is that in the process of upgrading catalogs from previous versions into LR4, all the work that has gone into creating local flags in the old catalog would be completely eliminated and inaccessible. That means quite a lot of work like creating lots of additional collections in the old version before the upgrade if I wanted to bring all the existing data safely into LR4.
Proposed solution: Either support both local and global flags in parallel with different icons (which I would prefer), or make the flag behavior a per-catalog or per-collection preference. But simply changing the behavior of flags to global is just a major workflow issue. In fact, when I first encountered the new system in my LR4 test catalog, I thought I had found a major bug.

Anchor Guest controller and DHCP configuration

I checked the cisco documentation about the DHCP configuration but I´m not 100%sure which DHCP server address I must use.
I used as example the scope 10.240.97.0/24 for our Guest Users. In this range are the DHCP scope and the Guest interface configured. For the management I used as example the range 10.240.96.0/24.Now I configured our Guest WLC and I insert on the Guest interface as Primary DHCP address the Guest interface address. After I applied I got the message I can´t use this DHCP address. Now I checked the cisco and found following description:
“If DHCP services are to be implemented locally on the anchor controller, populate the primary DHCP server field with the management IP address of the controller"
Means it now I must insert as the IP for the Primary DHCP Server on the Guest interface the IP from the management
Interface and the controller will then forward the traffic to the internal DHCP scope on the Guest subnet and wil sent it back ?
( DHCP proxy is on the Guest WLC enabled ) .
Thanks
Al

For Anchor you can use either internal or external dhcp server.
Means it now I must insert as the IP for the Primary DHCP Server on the Guest interface the IP from the management
Interface and the controller will then forward the traffic to the internal DHCP scope on the Guest subnet and wil sent it back ?
Yes. WLC forwards the unicast dhcp req to management ip for guest interface. All cpu generated traffic by default uses management interface as source address i.e., snmp, radius, ping...
Is your question whether you need routing between guest and management interface.
No, routing is not required in this case bcoz the interface residing on WLC's management. Also for proxy it uses the virtual ip address for dhcp instead of actual dhcp ip. And only wireless client can get ip from WLC's internal dhcp server.
If you're using dhcp proxy on wlc and having external dhcp server on different vlan then yes you need routing between the two vlans.

Custom Configuration options for new U430

I would like to buy U430 laptop, but I don't see how I can configure options like CPU, Memory Size etc...
I just have an option to select a model and no way to customize it. Here is the page I go to:
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/u-series/u430-touch
I tried several other types like YOGA, but don't see any configuration options also.
Am I missing something, or you can't build Custom Lenovo Laptop any more?

Hello mag20, welcome to this forum.
     Yes, you can build a Custom Lenovo Laptop. However, you need to call, or chat on line, with the sales team. The website has some customization options for their ThinkPads, which you can do on line. For example, see the T440s page:
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t440s/
      If you want a U430 Touch, it would be better to know what possible options are available in that system, before you call, or chat. The best way to know this, is to read the part list, in the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM). Here is the HMM for the U430 Touch:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/lenovo_u330p_u330%20touch_u430p_u430%20touch_hmm.pdf
     Page down to Table 5, Parts List - Overall, on page 69. Part No. 4 is the RAM, 6 is the processor, 7 is the hard drive, 10 is the SSD, 12 is the WLAN.
     Be aware, that not all options, are congruent with some of the other options, that you may want. i.e. I don't think you can have both a hard drive, and a 256 GB SSD, but I don't know. You probably can get the drive, and a 24GB NGFF SSD, as that goes in a different slot. That's why you need to chat/talk with a sales rep.
      Keep in mind that if you custom order a Laptop, it may be more expensive than "standard on line model", but the reps have a certain amount of latitude, and you can still get a good "deal" .
     You may need to wait a little longer for it to be built, and shipped. The upside of this process is, you get the laptop you really want, with the configuration you need!
     Happy shopping!
Cheers

Dumbing Things Down By Reducing Configurable Options - Your Thoughts?

It occurred to me, while typing up a response to another thread, that this could be a good topic for general discussion.
I sense that the big software companies are starting to put (IMO misguided) effort into reducing the number of configuration options presented to us, the lowly users. I regard this as "dumbing down" the software in the guise of "making it easier to use", but most likely motivated by a desire to reduce support costs where the use of the software by the masses is concerned. The thinking seems to be something like "fewer configuration options means fewer ways for an IQ 90 user to screw it up". These are the users depicted, for example, in Microsoft Windows 7 commercials.
Microsoft seems to be taking the lead on this, eliminating many of the options we've known and loved in past Windows versions. Some examples are the inability to choose "Classic Start Menu", fewer ways to set display elements the way we like them (e.g., spacing of list view in Explorer), and the even the loss of ability to configure right-click options (other than Open) for files in Explorer. Some of these options have just seen the reduction or elimination of the user interface to change them (but they're still in the registry) while others have become simply "baked in" to the code and are no longer configurable at all. Apple seems to build their whole culture on dumbing things down for non-technical users.
Adobe, so far, seems MUCH less guilty of this, but they've done it in a few cases, too. There are, for example, a few user interface changes without offering us an "advanced option" to "keep it the old way, 'cause I liked it that way" - if even for one version to help ease the trouble of changing work habits.
Personally, as a highly technical user I LIKE having options. I know it makes the software more complex, but let's face it: Computer systems are getting more powerful and complex and our ability to engineer ever more complex things is increasing. To use all that new power fully it's nice - nay, necessary - to have options.
A wise man once said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler."
Adobe, please consider this my request not to eliminate options in future versions of Photoshop just because that's all the rage elsewhere. Resist your urges to reduce support costs by reducing user configurability, and concentrate instead on user education. It's the other guys who have it wrong!

I'm sorry that laying the policy of your favorite computer company out on the table stings a bit, but hey, it's not like I'm singing Microsoft's praises here either. But make no mistake - BOTH companies seem ever more interested in creating "Computers for Dummies".
I believe I've recognized a real trend in modern operating systems, and while Adobe hasn't shown itself to be going down that path hook, line, and sinker YET, I'm hoping a thread like this might help influence them to think twice about doing so in CS6 and beyond. The big software companies do tend to copy one another. I dunno, maybe there's a "Software Executive Monthly" (written at an 8th grade level, of course) that they all read. Or maybe their people just jump ship a lot.
Hey, like Microsoft, Adobe has fallen into the utter lunacy of contracting technical support to a country halfway around the world where people barely speak the language of the callers. It's not like Adobe is immune to doing stupid things. So let's see if we can help them know we don't want them to be stupid in their product direction.
Whether or not you and I use the same computers, Mark, we agree that oversimplifying Adobe software is not a good idea.
