Mac address and device name

Hello,
Not sure how to explain my requirement, but I will try: How can I broadcast my computer name along with the MAC address? In other words, I have a Netgear WNDR3700 router and when I login to see the "attached devices" I only see the assigned IP and MAC for all our MacBooks. The router page shows other devices (printers, shared hard drives) but I want to identify my Mac also by name and not guess/investigate who's MacBook is.
Maybe the pic can help.
Thanks!

Does the device name match up at all with the MAC address? Since you blocked out the MAC address I can't see it but everything after the BRW in the device name looks like a MAC address. Could be the BRW stands for Broardcom something Wireless. Which IIRC Mac's use a Boardcom chip for both Wireless and Wired Ethernet.

Reports for Apple devices with SCCM client - Mac Addresses and IP information.

Greetings.
I've been having an interesting problem.
I am currently running SCCM 2012R2 with PKI and have clients installed on windows, linux (ubuntu mostly) and apple computers successfully.
I have created custom report proving me with hardware information for windows and linux machines (Serial numbers, manufacturer, Mac Addresses and IP addresses) successfully.
So far I wasn't able to create any report or even find what table information about Apple computers MAC and IP addresses is stored.
If i go to Apple computer in SCCM using resource explorer under hardware I can see network devices, so that information is definitely gathered by SCCM in some way.
Can anyone help me out with this and maybe I am doing this in a wrong way?

Nice. Only trouble there seems to be multiple entry for same mac address there for same resource id.
So when I try to get them as substring i get multiple copies of same mac address.
But looks like this will work as solution to this problem.
So far I was doing it this way (And i am sure there is clearer way to do it.)
SUBSTRING((SELECT ',' + CAST(t2.MACAddress0 AS VARCHAR(40))
            FROM (SELECT DISTINCT ResourceID, MACAddress0 FROM v_GS_NETWORK_ADAPTER) t2
            WHERE t2.ResourceID = ResourceID
            ORDER BY t2.ResourceID, t2.MACAddress0
            FOR XML PATH ('')
        ), 2, 100) [MACAddresses]

Mac address and Serial Number

Hello all,
my Macbook pro was robbed last weekend, i wanna know if is possible to get the MAC Address of my Macbook if i have the serial number, i wanna try to locate my Mac by that way, but i dont have the mac address, just keep with me the serial number of...
Thanks all.

OK, I know that.
I'm in Chile, and I have contacts on a local ISP, they use for all its connections a relation between MAC address and modems, any other computer can't use that connection if that association is not changed.
My hope is that my Macbook will be use with that ISP, for that the thief would have to give the MAC Address ... so I can get the bad boy name...

MAC address and the CAM entries on the Layer 3 FWSM(Transparent mode)

Hi,
With refrence of Cisco Secure Firewall Services Module (FWSM) of Cisco Press book it's mentioned that
"While configuring the transparent mode in FWSM, it is important to specify the MAC address and the CAM entries on the Layer 3 next hop device of FWSM."
This part of configuration is not very much clear to me please let me know the logic of this things
The following are two examples:
Layer 3 Device A (PFC) at the Outside Security Domain
! IP address of the next hop for the outside security domain
interface Vlan20
mac-address 0000.0000.0001
ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
! Specify the IP address and MAC address at the first hop layer 3 interface
! of the inside security domain
arp 10.10.1.21 0000.0000.0001 ARPA
Layer 3 Device B at the Inside Security Domain
! IP address of the next hop for the inside security domain
interface Vlan21
mac-address 0000.0000.0021
ip address 10.10.1.21 255.255.255.0
! Specify the IP address and MAC address defined at the first hop interface
! of the outside security domain
arp 10.10.1.21 0000.0000.0002 ARPA

Check the serial # reported by Sys Info against the serial # printed on the bottom of the case. I bet they are not the same. The service center did not change the serial # on that new Logic board to match the REAL serial number of your Mac.
So when you try to go to the MAS it looks like a completely different Mac which is not registered under your Apple ID.
If the above is true, the serials being different, then you need to take it back and have that changed to your REAL serial number.

UNABLE TO RETRIEVE THE CLIENT IP ADDRESS AND HOST NAME OF A PORTAL USER

I'm trying to retrive the client IP address and host name of a portal user
trying to access a portal page using APIs:
PortletRenderRequest portletRequest =
(PortletRenderRequest)request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
HttpServletRequest servletRequest =
(HttpServletRequest)portletRequest.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.SERVLET_REQUEST);
String l_szClientIPAddress = servletRequest.getRemoteAddr();
String l_szClientHost = servletRequest.getRemoteHost();
but i found that for all portal users on different machines IP addresses, the
returned IP is the same for all which is Portal middle tier IP address.
So how can retrive the IP addess of a portal user trying to access a portal
page ?

Brijesh,
Do you mean how to see hostname/ip address of client requests processed by the server? If yes, depending on what's your front ending component - Web Cache or OHS, you can configure the access log format to have this information recorded in either of these component's access log file.
For Web Cache access log file, refer this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/caching.1012/b14046/diagnostics.htm#sthref2090
For OHS access log file, refer this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14007/servlog.htm#sthref439
By default, both Web Cache and OHS are configured to use Common Log Format (CLF) that does record hostname/ip address so if you haven't made any changes to log format, this info is already there for you. Look for $ORACLE_HOME/webcache/logs/access_log file for Web Cache and $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/logs/access_log file for OHS.

How to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server

Hello,
We want to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server, please could you indicate the steps or procedure to follow?
I need your help
thank you

If it's 3.1 just change them, shouldn't cause any issues if by domain name you are referring to changing the domain the computer belongs to. If you are changing your domain for AD authentication then you will may have to take quite a few steps if the old domain is going away. Let us know.

Migrate Active Directory 2008 to 2012 but need to keep the same ip address and server name

Hi,
Current setup is 2 DCs in one site running 2008 R2 AD.
We are planning to migrate from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 but need to keep the same ip address and server name. I have came up two plans to do this and hope someone can tell me which one would be the best approach. What is the pros
and cons in Plan A and B or may be plan C if there is a better one?
First, I was planning to do plan A but just had a second thought of Plan B. My concern in Plan A is about changing the server name when the new 2012 R2 already running as DC. Plan B would be changing all the old server
name and ip before they become member sever and DC.
Any information and suggestion would be very appreciated.
Plan A
Run adprep /forestprep on 2008 R2 DC
Build a new 2012 R2 server and promote it as 3rd DCs in current Domain
Transfer FSMO from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2
Run Repadmin /syncall to force replication
Rename the demoted 2008 R2 DC to something else
Change the demoted 2008 R2 ip address to something else
Restart the demoted 2008 R2 server to take effect
Now, run Netdom computername command to change the new 2012 R2 server name to the old 2008 R2 DC server name
Change the new 2012 R2 DC's ip to old 2008 R2 DC's ip
Run ipconfig /flushdns
Run ipconfig /registerdns
DCDIAG to see any error
Plan B
Build 2 new 2012 R2 standalone servers
In 2008 R2 ServerA transfer FSMO to 2008 R2 ServerB
Demote 2008 R2 ServerA to become member server
Rename 2008 R2 ServerA to something else and change the ip address to something else and shut it down
Now, rename one of the new 2012 R2 standalone server to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerA name
Change the new 2012 R2 standalone server ip to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerA's ip address
Add the new 2012 R2 standalone server (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip) to become member server
Run adprep /forestprep on the 2008 R2 ServerB
Promote the new 2012 R2 (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip) as DC
Transfer 2008 R2 ServerB FSMO to the new 2012 R2 DC (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip)
Demote 2008 R2 ServerB as member server
Rename 2008 R2 ServerB to something else and change the ip address to something else and shut it down
Now, rename the 2nd new 2012 R2 standalone server to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerB name
Change the new 2012 R2 standalone server ip to the old demoted 2008 R2 SeverB 's ip address
Add the 2nd new 2012 R2 standalone server to become member server
Promote it as DC
Run DCDIAG to check error
Thanks.

Hi,
Renaming a Domain Controller is a risky operation which may lead to issues, therefore, I would suggest you go with the Plan B, rename the server before it becomes DC.
Here is a blog below which could be helpful to you:

Can my contacts on my iPhone see my personal information such as my home address and "related names" (relatives)?

I was setting up my own info in Contacts on my iPhone 5S to keep things organized and tidy. I added in my home addresses (I have two) and added my relatives' names as well. I did this to make things convenient for me, especially when using Maps... I can just type or say "home" or "home2" instead of typing in the entire address or scrolling around and zooming in with my fingers. It's especially handy when I'm driving and don't want to use my hands. I also added in my relatives' names so I can just tell Siri to give me directions to "aunt Debbie" or "call uncle Joe," etc...
But then I realized this is information that my contacts can probably see. Many of my contacts are only professional acquaintances (not friends) and I don't want them to know my home addresses or the names of my relatives. All I want my contacts to see is my phone number, job title, and the link to my LinkedIn page.
As far as I know there is no setting to control what info is visible to your contacts. If there is, can someone please point it out to me? If not, is there another solution? Or should I just not have my addresses stored in my phone (which kind of defeats the purpose of the phone being convenient when you need it to)? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
iPhone 5S
iOS 8.2

I hope that's right. With social networking and social integration and now iCloud in the picture, I wonder what gets synced these days between contacts. I have contacts in my iPhone who I have no idea who they are but they automatically synced to my phone simply because I had an email exchange with them once upon a time. And I'll get those same peoples' birthday reminders (as if I care), LinkedIn links, and though I don't use facebook or twitter I'm sure those show up on everybody's contacts who uses them.
I used to be more tech savvy a few years ago but with more responsibilities as I get older I just don't have the time to study what's what these days. These days it seems like everything is now about the "cloud" and I have no idea what iCloud will sync automatically with other iPhone users. I'm growing increasingly wary about who can see what, and my home addresses and relatives' names are on top of that list.
Thank you for your reply.

How to detect MAC address and IP address

When emails arrive they arrive as email addresses and not names

When emails arrive they arrive as email addresses and not names from my contact list.
What gives?
Thanks

ok well I think I can confirm your theory by the fact that the few names that do show up are from PCs (where people's names are always entered in).
Generally, most people enter their name in the Name field for their email account settings with the email client used on their computer, but not always. This is entirely up to the sender and is not required.
90% of everyone else on my contact list is using mobile phones where names are not used like they are on PCs or smart phones.
The very same applies to the email client used on a cell phone. I can remove my first and last name from the Name field for my email account settings, or I can enter Allan or ALLAN only and if I use ALL CAPS for my first name or for my first and last name, the name I've entered in the Name field will appear in ALL CAPS when the email is received. If I remove my name from the name field, my email address will appear only with all sent messages.
This must mean that you too must have a lot of no name emails coming in right?
Nope, because the overwhelming majority of people that send me email have their name entered in the Name field for their email account settings with the email client used on their computer for accessing the account and with the email client on their smart phone.

Mac addresses and switchports

Hi all, am i correct in saying a mac address cannot exist on more than one port on a lan, except for the uplink ports leading to that mac address ?

That is correct. Each NIC will have a globally unique MAC address and that NIC can only be connected to a single port. So, with the exception of uplink ports, a given MAC address can only be on one port.
Hope this helps. If so, please rate the post.

HT4061 I downloaded an iTunes update on my HP. PC and restarted the computer for the hangers to take effect. Now my pc is locked up. It gives me a client Mac address and no boot file name received. What happened, and how do I get my pc back?

When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

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.

How to map MAC address to Logical name

Hi all:
Is there any command to get the logical NIC name according to MAC address?
The 'ifconfig -a' command only list the network information for these plumbed network card.
But how to get the logical name for these unplumbed network cards if I know the MAC address?
Thanks a lots!

Hi both, Thanks!
I have tried to use "prtconf -v > output_file" and search under /dev and /devices method. It couldn't find the unplumbing network name.
Is there any other suggestion?
And also I think I should describle more clear about my question.
I want to configure IPMP group automatically by scripts after OS (spac system)installed. For the script, only the MAC addresses(which network card is not unplumbed) are passed as parameter for IPMP group setting. You know for IPMP setting. it needs to written setting in /etc/hostname.<interfacename>.
So I need to map the MAC address(which is not unplumbed) to logical name(interface name).
how to do this?
I wonder for the "ifconfig -a" command:
When I use "ifconfig -a" command in Beign script, which is called before OS Jumpstart installation. It works to find out all network interface and MAC address.
See below script:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
probe_interfaces()
SI_INT=`ifconfig -a|awk -F: '/^[^.lo.]/ && /^[a-zA-Z]/{print $1;}'`
SI_NUMINT=`ifconfig -a|awk -F: 'BEGIN{num=0;}/^[^.lo.]/ && /^[a-zA-Z]/{num++;}END{print num;}'`
export SI_INT
export SI_NUMINT
probe_ethers()
SI_ETHERS=`ifconfig -a|grep ether|awk ' { print $2 } '`
export SI_ETHERS
And the result of executing in Begin script , see below:
Ethernet interfaces detected:( I got all these interface name and MAC address)
bge0
bge1
bge2
bge3
ce0
ce1
MAC addresses:
0:3:ba:dd:de:4f
0:3:ba:dd:de:50
0:3:ba:dd:de:51
0:3:ba:dd:de:52
0:3:ba:d9:eb:f7
0:3:ba:d9:eb:f8
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I only configure one network card on this OS. But after the OS installed, the "ifconfig -a" doesn't work to find all these network interface. It is only show the configured network interface.
I don't know why the behaviors of "ifconfig -a" command are different between before OS installed and after OS installed.
Thanks!
