DHCP reservation in WLC?
Is it possible to create a DHCP reservation in a Cisco WLC's internal DHCP server?
We are using the WISM, running version 4.2.207.
I know this can be done by using a Windows or Linux DHCP server instead, but would prefer to stick with the internal DHCP server.
Thanks!
Hi
No. WLC does not allow mac to IP address reservation entries on the DHCP pools.

DHCP reservation & DNS for content filtering
Hi All,
I am working around with server 2008 for quite a while and facing a problem as below,
1.DHCP reservation error
Server Ip:192.168.0.254 (configured as DNS server for local use only with AD & DHCP)
DHCP scope: 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200 excluded 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.110
earlier the same scope was 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.100. I was facing a error when I make a IP reservation against a MAC number error was " The unique identifier may not be correct do you want to use the identifier anyway" when I click yes "DHCP
server received a message from a client that is not valid" and by this error I am not able to make any reservations now against MAC numbers.
The same error was also on the earlier scope and that's why changed to a new scope but did not work. Any solutions will me much appreciated
2.DNS fine tuning.
I have an open DNS account on which my WAN IP number is configured to do a content filtering. I have two LAN ports with the below IP number
Local : 192.168.0.254 ( configured with no gateway and DNS as loopback (127.0.0.1)
ISP: 192.168.0.253 (with ISP gateway and DNS as loop back adapter & open DNS)
I have did a content filtering and things are working fine. But I got to open up some machines out of this content filtering and when I try to give the IP number in this below fashion.
192.168.0.115
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1
DNS
192.168.0.254
ISP DNS to avoid filtering
I find that 192.168.0.254 does the resolving and things are still filtered as per the schedule. Is there a way where we can configure 192.168.0.254 (Local DNS server) to stop resolving web requests and only cater to resolving local names for connectivity.
I do know its too long but solutions for the same will be help me out to solve it. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
VaschellHello,
I have found something strange on the DHCP reservation. When I try to add a MAC number out of the network its able to make out a reservation.
Is there any way to clear the MAC number cache or something else which I can try.

DHCP Reservation Sync and DNS Host record sync etc shown in IPAM GUI
Hello all,
I am aware of the scripts in the TechNet script center to sync DHCP leases etc to IPAM, however my question is about something else -
If you highlight an IP address (IP address inventory->select an IP), You can see fields that say: "DHCP reservation sync", "DNS PTR record sync" and "DNS host record sync" as below:
I was curious as to what these are for. Is there some built-in sync functionality for these that I perhaps have not enabled? (Don't see such options any where..)
thanks,
-RaviHi Ravi ,
The three columns tell us the information of the synchronization between IPAM server and DNS server (or DHCP server) .
Here is the detailed guide for using IPAM :
Using the IPAM Client Console :
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878351.aspx#inventory
IPAM can sync DNS and DHCP records .
The IPAM database is separate from DHCP and DNS servers on our network ,and full synchronization of hosts and IP addresses between IPAM and managed DNS or DHCP servers does not occur automatically
unless we have configured automated tasks to perform this synchronization .
For detailed information ,see
DNS and DHCP record synchronization chapter in the following link :
Multi-server Management :

E4200 : DHCP Reservation not showing anything !?!
Hello,
When I'm in Setup -> Basic Setup -> click on DHCP Reservation, I don't see all entries I've created earlier but computers that connect still have the correct IP address on the network; I don't know if I can create additional entries if nothing appears, what should I do ?
When I go to Status -> Local Network -> DHCP Client Table the list is blank but some computers are connected to the network
I'm using firmware 1.0.01 build 10 Feb 21, 2011, language = English, Firefox 4.0.1
Rebooting the router doesn't change anything, I can't see connected LAN equipment and DHCP Reservation is empty despite the fact I've created entries.
Together with the "Access Restriction" which doesn't allow to block a computer from 10pm => 8am unless you create 2 rules + various issues with attached USB + 2.4Ghz signal that is far from optimal (never able to achieve more than 144-N-Mbps) and I ask myself if I will not contact the store where I purchased this unit and ask a refund (and buy something else from another brand...)
It's the first time I buy a Linksys equipment and very disappointed, support doesn't seem to be very serious
Thanks for any suggestion
PS: Where do I ask for a refund or something similar in Linksys site ? If nothing exists, I'll let the store where I purchased this unit now about the present postThanks for your answers
Today it works and I didn't reboot, restart or reset anything
I can see DHCP Reservation list + DHCP Clients Table
Same PC, same network, nothing restarted, reset, changed or added and now it works
Weird
I would not like to re-create everything in the DHCP Reservation List as I have 17 entries so far (and going to add 1 more...)
Apparently, if I can't see my list, I have to wait a few days -
DHCP reservations are nothing more than instructions to the server.The DHCP client protocol doesn't know anything about reservations. DHCP clients send their MAC address as part of the request and the DHCP server uses this address to find a matching reservation. If the server finds a match in the reservations it allocates the reservation address. If not then the server searches the existing lease table and allocates the first match there. If no MAC match is found then the next available IP address is allocated. The protocol doesn't proscribe how the "random" allocation is done, just that it come from the lease pool.Because the DHCP client doesn't know about this it then starts sending lease renewal requests at the 50% point in the lease.To unblock port 68, enable Bootp on your DHCP server. The Windows DHCP server works with both DHCP...
Hi,
I have a thin client device that receives an IP address from a DHCP server on Windows 2008. I created a DHCP reservation for the device to use 192.168.0.81 and confirmed that the IP address was assigned to the device correctly.
But I have been seeing packets are being blocked by firewall because port 67 from requesting device to DHCP server on port 68 does not allow by default rule on firewall.
My question is, even though the device receives the reserved IP address, why it keeps sending DHCP packets to its server? As far as I know, when DHCP reservation is used, there is no lease time allocated to the IP. Or does device send DHCP packets anyways regardless of reservation? If it does, how often does requesting device send the request?

What is the maximum dhcp reservations
What is the maximum dhcp reservations in apple airport extreme? Can it hold 20 records? More?
I am considering switching from my current router from another vendor because it can hold maximum 10 dhcp reservations.Any follow up on this? My airport extreme seems to have a ceiling of 25 and I need ~35.

Missing Add DHCP Reservations Option
I have an older Airport Extreme Base Station (flying saucer variety...version 5.7...purchased approx. 2005(?) 802.11b/g). I am using an iMac with AirPort Utility 5.5.3. I am attempting to set up my AEBS to allow Remote Management from my MacBook Pro from outside my Airport network.
My understanding is that I need to be able to add DHCP Reservations in AirPort Utility to begin to make the proper connections.
When I visit the Internet/DHCP tab in AirPort Utlity I am shown:
DHCP Beginning Address (10.0...)
DHCP Ending Address (10.0.1...)
DHCP Lease (4) (Hours)
DHCP Message: (-blank-)
LDAP Server: (-blank-)
That's it. I'm not presented any list of DHCP Reservations, nor the "+" button to allow me to add a new Reservation. Aren't I supposed to be able to add Reservations on this view?
Is, perhaps, my AE Base Station too old to allow adding Reservations? Or, could some other setting be wrong preventing this option?
My Internet Connection/Connection Sharing is set to "Share a public IP address".
Any direction or links to other discussions on this topic are most appreciated. Thank you.It's been too long ago for me to remember what the Flying Saucer settings had....
Here is a screen shot of Airport Utility 5.6 which is for Lion and it shows the DHCP reservations.
Airport Utility 5.5.3 should have the same as 5.6 has only been out for a couple of weeks... -
Cannot make DHCP reservation out of the DHCP pool
Hello,
I foud a bug in the router:
I am using network 172.16.20.0 with subnet 255.255.252.0 wich means i can use IP adresses from 172.16.20.1 until 172.16.23.254.
When i setup my DHCP server on the router (from 172.16.20.1 to 172.16.20.100) i cannot make a DHCP reservation outside of this DHCP pool.
Is there a workaround or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.This is normal networking standards. When a DHCP pool is set up, only reservations work with in this pool. You can set up static IPs out side this pool if needed. Which is recommended for printer, NAS and low priority devices.

Monitoring DHCP scope on WLC 5508
Hi,
I have DHCP configured on the anchor controller but I don't know when DHCP scope is full on it. Do you have any idea or experience how to monitoring exhausted DHCP scope on WLC 5508?
RegardingOk but WLC can send syslog messages and base on this we can create an alarm. When DHCP scope is full on the WLC then controller inform us about this:
DHCP Server: Nov 13 11:34:56.321: %DHCP-3-SEND_OFFER_FAIL: dhcpd.c:278 Unable to send DHCP offer. Could not allocate appropriate ip address from the scope
*DHCP Server: Nov 13 11:34:56.321: %DHCP-4-ADDR_NOT_ALLOCATED: serverpacket.c:205 No IP addresses to give -- OFFER abandoned -- packet dropped
*DHCP Server: Nov 13 11:34:52.416: %DHCP-3-SEND_OFFER_FAIL: dhcpd.c:278 Unable to send DHCP offer. Could not allocate appropriate ip address from the scope
*DHCP Server: Nov 13 11:34:52.416: %DHCP-4-ADDR_NOT_ALLOCATED: serverpacket.c:205 No IP addresses to give -- OFFER abandoned -- packet dropped
so If only I could detect this sentence from the syslog messages than I could create an alarm. -
WRT610N DHCP Reservation Client Table empty, please help!
Even though there are about 15 devices connected to the router right now there is literally nothing showing up in the DHCP Reservation list, and when I add something manually it will not come up either. I have tried reinstalling the firmware and even setting the options to default. Has anyone had this problem before? I have checked the forms and saw nothing on this subject.
This has been an issue since I bought the device, however the DHCP list did show up a couple of times when reinstalling the firmware but would go away after ~20 minutes of ussage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Message Edited by chrizburnz on 10-06-2009 03:53 PMSurprise surprise. After being explict with Tech Support, having them repeatedly confirm that someone will be calling me today, I got nothing. There was not a peep whatsoever from them. I guess I kind of suspected that since they had done all that they could think of to resolve the problem yesterday. I'm just another disgruntled customer to them.
Hence, I took matters into my own hands to get my DHCP Reservation list back and to prevent it from disappearing in the future. I also took some very good advise from chrizburnz. The steps provided below are exhaustive and probably 50% unnecessary. The problem is knowing which steps are crucial and which are redundant and/or needless. I wasn't going to waste any more time trying to figure this out. I spent hours with Tech Support (3 different techies altogether) and they couldn't get my list back, even after reinstalling the firmware. I don't plan to be updating this list a lot anyway.
To get your DHCP Reservation list back and keep it from disappearing in the future, do the following...
Power down all LAN and wireless devices that connect or want to connect to your router with the exception of a single wired computer.
Save your current router configuration. There is a Backup Configurations button on the Administration tab.
Hit and hold the reset button on the back of your router for 30 seconds as previously advised.
After releasing the button, pull the power cable out of the router and wait another 30 seconds or so.
Plug the power cable back in and wait for your router to boot.
Load the original CD that came with the router and redo the Setup procedure.
Once the router pulls down an IP address from your modem, you can then start to configure your DHCP Reservations list from scratch.
Click DHCP Reservation off of the Setup --> Basic Setup tab.
Starting with the PC already connected, enter in your current PC information using the Manual method. Don't use the Add Clients button. (The MAC address should be appearing in the list above this button. You can just cut/paste it in.)
For the name, do not use special characters, spaces, or numbers. Just use upper/lower case letters and keep the name short.
Click Save Settings. Click Continue. Click the Close button at the bottom of the window.
Click Backup Configurations on the Administration tab. (You can always restore if your list vanishes on you. You don't want to have to start over from scratch the next time. You can just do the restore.)
Power up the next device. They appear to pop up immediately in the clients table. At this point, the DHCP Client table should be functioning as expected/advertised.
Repeat steps 9 through 14 until all your devices are full reserved.
Again, this is the exhaustive procedure. I can't say which steps are crucial. Just add one entry at a time, short names, letters only, and save the configuration each time you successfully add an entry. (Never "x" out the DHCP Reservation window. Use the Close button.)
If anyone finds out the real deal here, can you please post it. Or, better yet, Cisco can fix their firmware bug in the next release. -
Hi. I'm setting up a new E1200 and I'm searching for the area for DHCP reservations. My D-Link DIR-615 offers this ability in the Admin panel. This is quite useful since it allows for easier port forwarding management to specific Machine IPs without having to assign static IPs for each machine. I can't seem to find any documentation on this feature no the site or in the forum that applies to the E1200. If it's not offered, boy did I make a mistake in getting the E1200. I should have bought another DIR-615. If I have overlooked this, please advise as to where it is in the Admin panels. Thanks!
And in such a handy place! I was looking under advanced settings and couldn't see it. Searched the forum. and The Google, didn't bring up any info...
Thanks for the hand holding!
Happy to be a Cisco customer. -
EA6700 Invalid IP address in DHCP reservations
Hello. First time here so bare with me. I can't believe I am actually posting this stupid thing but it must be a bug or something very wrong. As the subject says I am trying to reconfigure my network as there are too many devices too keep track/configure manually, and I can't add devices for DHCP reservation:
-manually,
-selecting from the list,
-modify any of my (few) previous entries,
when I am trying to associate IPs to MACs in Connectivity > Local Network > DHCP Server > DHCP reservations.
Every **bleep** time the little (two) fields for the IP are just starting to glow pinkish somehow and a baloon appears saying Invalid IP address. No matter what numbers I am filling in. Of course I would very much like to fill the IPs from my internal network 192.168.1.ish...
This just can't be for real. Tell me I didn't pay those money for this kind of bugs.
Don't take the name of root in vain!PS: also after I add from the list (this one at least works) - I can't edit the entry, due to the same error, so it's useless too...
I should mention that even if 3 devices are connected wired 1GB to the router and most of them are wireless, on one port I have a SG300-28 Cisco Switch, in a separate VLAN, for easy administration of some servers/storage devices in a remote location (remote = different building ~ 50m). The switch is in layer 2 mode, no DHCP there. Worked for years. No IP conflicts.
All the machines/devices are Linux, BSD, Android. And I really need this as I have to restrict access to a FreeNAS 9.2 machine.
Don't take the name of root in vain! -
Maximum number of dhcp reservations
I am using an airport extreme (3rd gen, latest firmware).
I added 26 DHCP reservations.
Now I want to add some more.
Problem is: The ´+´ button is gray, only the ´-´ button is black.
using the EDIT button changes an existing entry and overwrites it.
Is there any limitation of the number for dhcp reservations?
How can I add new one?
Thanks for your help.
StefanApple Please fix this.

I asked this question on someone elses thread. I'll ask here as well..
I have 2 computer on my Airport Extreme network I am controlling with my Macbook pro (ARD Admin)
G5 Tower - on ethernet, Macbook Air on wireless (which travels outside network sometimes)
When inside the network I can control both computers... no problem.
When outside I can control only the G5.
I have setup a DHCP Reservation for the G5 on the Airport Utility so I can access it from outside. Works great... I can add a second DHCP Reservation for the Macbook Air but the Port Mapping does not allow a second mapping to the Air.
How can I do this?
Second question - DHCP Reservation - If the Airport remaps the DHCP addresses each 24 hours, Can i use an IP over the range... say - 205? This way the target computer will always be available?I have setup a DHCP Reservation for the G5 on the Airport Utility so I can access it from outside. Works great... I can add a second DHCP Reservation for the Macbook Air but the Port Mapping does not allow a second mapping to the Air.
As you have found out, the AirPort Utility will not allow you to map the same port to more than one device. The only way around this is to use a different port for the same function. In this case, letting ARD know to use a different port to listen on for the MacBook Air.
Second question - DHCP Reservation - If the Airport remaps the DHCP addresses each 24 hours, Can i use an IP over the range... say - 205? This way the target computer will always be available?
Yes. The purpose of using the DHCP Reservation feature is so that you can create a "permanent" IP address within the range of IP addresses in the DHCP pool. Prior to this, using an IP address just outside of the pool was a common tactic to make sure that the address used would not conflict with the DHCP server's pool. -
EA6700 DHCP Reservation (Static DHCP) limit
Hi,
just got an EA6700. Setup was the most difficult I've ever experienced in many years of Wifi/router config. I almost packed it back up to return it. The cloud thing is absurd. Using CAPTCHA that does not even display the CAPTCHA image is even worse.
Alright, I succeeded in using the local admin login and set up the router. Actually the plan was to have it just be a wireless access point, using my Cisco RV042 as the router and DHCP server. Well that 'dream' was squashed right quick. That **bleep** RV042 blew up when I added one more Static DHCP entry. Poof. 'No more SYSTEM' errors in a few spots. On reboot the darn thing does not come back up. This after the RV042 needed to be reset after I used a quote or some other 'illegal' character in a static DHCP entry. What a piece of amateur junk.
So. Tomorrow I will reset the RV042 again and relegate it to just doing WAN failover, nothing more. The EA6700 will be the router and DHCP server. So my question (sorry for the ranting) is how many DHCP reservations the EA6700 can handle. I'll probably need 75. I assign DHCP reservations for LAN stability and to prevent IP address collisions.
Please note that I'm not talking about static IP addresses. I have a few of those too but I know they are different from DHCP reservations.
Thanks,
SanderIt's highly unlikely the EA6700 can handle 70+ DHCP reservations. But I don't know for sure.
My advice is to go back to plan A and use EA6700 as AP.
Configure it for bridge mode. Be sure to "specify and IP address". Don't use "obtain IP address automatically" when configuring bridge mode.
http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=94&vw=1&articleid=25714
Edit: don't configure ea6700 for bridge mode while it's connected to your main router. You've probably noticed by now that the EA routers will automatically change their IP to 10.x.x.x if they detect a double NAT. Which I why I suggest keeping it disconnected from main router when configuring.
