How to assign static ip via mac address on LINKSYS WRT54G2

? how do i assign an ip per mac address with this router? i can't seem to find the option and its becoming a real pain
on my buffalo router i can paste a mac address and assign and ip for each mac on my network

The feature that you are looking for is called "DHCP reservation". This feature is not available on the WRT54G2. Several of the newer Linksys wireless n routers support this feature.
You can assign your computer a fixed (static) LAN IP address, however, you will need to do it manually. Linksys has some very specific rules about assigning fixed LAN IP addresses. Be sure to follow them carefully.
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

How to assign Static IP via Terminal in Mountain Lion OSX?

I have formatted by Macbook Pro 13 inch (2009 Oct) running on Mountain Lion OSX. I am trying to install the OSX via Ethernet at office network but I am unable to do so due to network restrictions. Macbook Pro picks the IP automatically when connected over Ethernet.
In order to install the OSX over the same network I have to configure the Macbook to static IP (public netowork). Could you please guide me how to configure Static IP via Terminal? I mean the commands to feed in Terminal. Thanks!

First get a list of your network services:
networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Then use the desired service name in the following command:
networksetup -setmanual SERVICE IP SUBNET ROUTER
For example, by default the Wi-Fi connection will be called "Wi-Fi," so you can use the following to set it to a classic private IP address:
networksetup -setmanual Wi-Fi 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
To set it back to DHCP, use the following command:
networksetup -setdhcp SERVICE
To keep DHCP services but only use a manually designated IP address, then use the following command:
networksetup -setmanualwithdhcprouter SERVICE IP
You may need to preceede these commands with "sudo" (followed by a single space) to run them with administrative privileges.

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

Restricting access via MAC address?

Hello,
Could someone please tell me how to restrict access to my wireless network (and internet sharing) by only allowing computers with a certain MAC address to join?
I'm kinda stumbling around here
Thanks,
Jonny

Sorry if I wasn't being specific enough...
I have my eMac set up as a Software Base Station, which streams internet & Airtunes to an Airport Express. I have it set up this way, because my ADSL modem is connected via USB (so it's a bit of a workaround). As a result, I have Internet Sharing switched on, so I can access it from all my other macs.
What I want to do is to stop other people from accessing my eMac's internet connection. If I set up a WEP password for Internet Sharing, I lose my Airtunes facility... so I was thinking another way might be to restrict access to the connection via MAC address. I only want my other airport card-equipped macs to access the internet connection and network generally.
Surely it's possible?

WRT54GL V 1.1 : how to reserve IP for specific MAC address using DHCP

My !free! made in China router have this functionality. And yet I have been banging my head with this new reasonably expensive wireless router from Linksys. Anyway I lug my notebook around. I need my home router to be able to automatically configure notebook IP address using DHCP. At the same time I need the ip given by home router through DHCP to be the same IP all the time. So "static" ip is not the solution. Alternative "static" ip is also not a solution. Anything with the word "static" in it is not a solution. I know about third party firmware (wrt or tomato) and I know WRT54GL can be flashed with this third party firware. But I'm not going to void my warranty. This will be my last option but not the solution that I seek. I would like to know how to reserve ip for specific mac address using DHCP for WRT54GL V1.1. If this version have no way to make such configuration, I would like to know if there is official firmware upgrade that address this. Thanks in advance!

How to specify in the ISE mac-address with its description?

Hello :-)
I want to implement ISE 1.2.
We have a database of mac-addresses and their description (for example the phone with the Mac address, John).
When connecting the phone John to a wifi network, WLC checks its mac-address in the database and allows access.
How to specify in the ISE Mac address with its description?
In the endpoint settings in ISE 1.2 there is no description field. We have ISE1.2.1.198, vWLC 8.0.100, AIR-LAP1131, MS AD (Win2003).
How can I handle this situation? Any ideas?

How to set the IP and MAC address in C program?

My working environment is Sun250 Server, Solaris 7 operating system. I encountered a problem ---- How to set the IP and MAC address in C program to make the system change it IP & MAC at runtime?
Any idea is welcome! Thanks!

Hi
As a simplest possible solution, you can use the system command
to run ifconfig that can set both the mac address and the IP address of the system. You will have to use setuid though.
Or you can use the DLPI calls ( do a man DLPI or search for a
Sun documentation on the same at http://soldc.sun.com) to write
a pure C program.

WLC - How to block a single client MAC address?

Hi Sir,
On a WLC (software version 4.1.185.0), how to block a single client MAC address?
I thought of using the SECURITY -> Disabled Clients. Is it right?
There are currently 250 users connected to the WLC. MAC Filtering is not a scalable solution because as I understand it, we have to specify all the legitimate MAC addresses in the local database.
Thank you.
B.Rgds,
Lim TS

Hi Lim,
As you have discovered, the Mac filtering on the WLC is an Allow (based on Mac address) rather than what you need which is a Deny (based on Mac address). I have not tried this feature but I think you are on the right track in using the Exclusion List (Blacklist) feature. Have a look;
Use SECURITY > AAA > Disabled Client then click New or MONITOR > Clients then click Disable to navigate to this page.
This page allows you to manually Exclusion List (blacklist) a client by MAC address.
Add the MAC Address and an optional Client Description for the client to be disabled.
Note When you enter a client MAC address to be disabled, the Operating System checks that the MAC address is not one of the known Local Net clients ( Local Net Users), Authorized clients ( MAC Filtering), or Local Management users ( Local Management Users) MAC addresses. If the entered MAC address is on one of these three lists, the Operating System does not allow the MAC address to be manually disabled.
Hope this helps! Let us know.

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

How to look up a wireless client via MAC address

One of my AirPort Expresses shows a wireless client whose MAC address I don't recognize. Is there some utility that will show me info (manufacturer, etc) of a wireless MAC address?
Also, under what conditions would one choose to set up the Wireless Mode of an AirPort Express (Extreme) to "Extend a wireless network" and when would you choose "Participate in a WDS network"? The help files don't explain this stuff very well.

If the "g" Express is set to "join", it does not extend the wireless signal, it receives the wireless signal as if it were a computer. The idea behind "join" was to provide a means for users to stream AirTunes to a remote location with an amplifier and speakers.
If you are not using it to stream AirTunes, there's really no reason to have it powered on. As you have probably discovered, the ethernet port on the "g" Express is not active.
You'll need to recheck some settings on your main base station, the Extreme to make sure that it is setup correctly. Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup and click the Wireless tab below the icons. Just make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended". Update to save any changes.
The "n" Express should be configured using AirPort Utility, Manual Setup, Wireless tab. Check that your Wireless Mode is "extend a wireless network" and make sure there is a check mark next to "allow wireless clients".
As you have discovered, the ethernet port is also active on the "n" Express when you have it set to "extend" and it will also stream AirTunes. Great features on the "n" Express.
You might think about adding another "n" Express to extend to another area.
Ethernet is always the best choice for speed and stability if you are able to hide the wire through the house. If it's not feasible to run an ethernet cable, take a look at ethernet powerline adapters.
You would use a pair, one device at the Extreme end and one at the other end where you want the signal to go. These devices use the home wiring to transport an ethernet signal and they work very well. Not quite as good as straight ethernet, but close and far better than wireless overall.
I bought a pair from DirecTV to setup the On Demand service because I didn't want to crawl through a hot attic to run an ethernet cable from my office router to the DVR. Much faster than wireless...and I previously had a very good wireless connection between my Time Capsule and the Express I was using to extend.
Hope you get things figured out soon.

DHCP via Mac Address

I have a Cisco 831 router. I am handing out DHCP to my network via the router
ip dhcp pool HmPrivate
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.1.1
dns-server 192.168.1.20
domain-name hmprivate.net
What I am trying to do is assign the same ip address to my laptop via DHCP by associating the mac address of the laptop to the DHCP ip address. This is easily done on a windows server.
I have not been able to figure it out on this router though. I have looked at the commands under the pool as well as in config mode. Nothing is jumping out at me.
Any assistance is greatly appreaciated!

Ok I powered up my laptop got an ip address from the rtr of 192.168.1.21. On the router i did a sh arp to get my hardware address of 0015.0025.60aa. I then created the new DHCP pool for the static entry. From my windows laptop i do an ipconfig / release then a ipconfig / renew. I keep getting the 192.168.1.21 address and not the 192.168.1.13 address that I want.
Am I missing something really simple here? Why wont the laptop grab the 192.168.1.13 address?
ip dhcp pool HmLaptop
host 192.168.1.13 255.255.255.0

How to control internet sharing via MAC access control list?

Hello,
I know how to share the internet over the Wi-Fi. I know that there could be a password. But I need to control users by MAC addresses, just like in the routers. So, I want to give an access ONLY to a several MAC addresses which I'll write in some ?list?. But the main point is that the other computers, which are not included in that list, can't access my network.
I figured out that it is nearly impossible to do via standard utilities in mac os, so is there any 3rd party software for such things?
Thank you very much for your help!

Restrict printing via MAC address

I am currently using Mac OS 10.2 server and now we are considering upgrading to 10.4 because of better printer servers. We don't current use the server software for printer serves. We would like to have the ability to restrict printing to the printer via the computers MAC address. Is this possible via server 10.4?
Thanks in advance

You could use the firewall to block certain IP addresses from printing.
You can ensure certain computers receive consistent IP adddresses via DHCP using Server Admin > DHCP > Settings > Static Maps which depends on MAC addresses.
