Radius & wireless & IP address

Hello, I''d like to use a Radius to dynamically authenticate wireless users, but I'd know if it's possible to assign dinamically address to the wireless port, when accesing to the RADIUS, or validaing it to avoid wireless clients of changing their IP address.
Thanks

Let me clarify more here..Cisco's aironet wireless clients associated with cisco's access points and authenticated via LEAP with RADIUS server, can't get ip address allocated via radius server..There is no way in LEAP that you can do it..Atleast cisco dosen't support it..Tejal

Wireless Adapter Address

Hi,
I'm need to find out the wireless adapter address for my Macbook because I cannot access wireless internet without giving the service providers this number. How do I get this number?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi reddish
Open System Preferences - choose Network, then 'Configure' & choose the 'airport' tab
the 'airport id' is the address you need - also known as the "MAC address"

How to pick wireless physical address of client machine

Dear memebers,
Using the follwoing tutorail, I have picked the network card address ( MAC Address ).

how to pick the wireless physical address?
Regards:

Hi !
our request object, which is available to all the jsp pages can access ip address and host name of client through these calls.
request.getRemoteAddr()
request.getRemoteHost()
Interface "ServletRequest"
getRemoteAddr ----
public java.lang.String getRemoteAddr()
Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the client that sent the request. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_ADDR.
Returns:
a String containing the IP address of the client that sent the request
getRemoteHost
public java.lang.String getRemoteHost()
Returns the fully qualified name of the client that sent the request. If the engine cannot or chooses not to resolve the hostname (to improve performance), this method returns the dotted-string form of the IP address. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_HOST.
Returns:
a String containing the fully qualified name of the client
All the Best!

Can i capture wireless mac addresses?

I need to provide our security group the mac address of all devices with wireless capabilities. can this be done? the mac addresses I am able to easily report on is the ethernet nic rather than the wireless nic.

BTW, they ask for the impossible, as anyone can plug in a USB FiFi
adapter - or tether their Blackberry - or ... so hopefflly they will not
be overly picky.
Sort of... there isn't a hardware category for wireless NICs. However
most of the descriptions include the word "wireless" so you can create a
custom report as follows:
Reports-->Inventory Custom Reports-->Hardware Components-->New
Then enter a Name for the report, select Type = Hardware Components,
selecy Focus = LAN Adapter. Hit Continue.
In the Criteria section [+] add a criteria
[Product Name] [contains] wireless
To be more specific, take a look at the descriptions returned without
any critera, and add any oddballs using OR grouping, so if a specific
model or the word "WiFi" appears - whatwever - you can catch it.
Finally select the report columns as needed.
Run.
We notice that on machines where the WLAN can be disabled, the MAC
address is absent ( because at the time of the inventory, there is no
wireless NIC active, but the enumeration of HW show one. ) However, you
will still "know" there is a wireless NIC.
Report looks like:
Atheros Communications Wireless LAN Adapter AR5212 802.11abg FOOUSER
F00F00F00482 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 1
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 3945ABG FOO2USER F00F00F00D6C
192.168.1.41 255.255.255.0 1
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 3945ABG ANOTHERFOO ( no MAC )
( Works, but I would certainly vote for a more easily to get at
category, same for broadband interfaces. )

Lost wireless IP address when synching apple TV

I loose the IP address and access to internet on my wireless time machine. It happens every time I try to synch large files from my computer to my apple TV through iTunes. Internet connection is reestablished after a power reset of the Time Machine, however, the problem reoccurs when I attempt to synch my apple TV. Anyone experiencing the same? Any solutions? Very annoying!

Shouldn't clients that do a ipconfig /release and /renew pull a new IP address though? Or if they are rebooted?
No, most of the time client is requesting the previous IP it had. Most of the cases your DHCP server will issue the same IP for the client unless that IP address given away to any other client. What is the DHCP lease time for those clients ?
In general when a client associate to AP, then the WLC who manage that AP will check any other WLCs in the mobility group to see if that client is a "new association" or a "roamed client". If any other WLC has that client information (not cleared from its database) then it will treat as roamed client & traffic is tunnel back to original WLC (anchor), even though client is associated to an AP managed by a different WLC (foreign). In that way client IP will remain, even though client roam from place to place.

Machine certificate RADIUS wireless login

Hi all,
I have a customer who want's to have a computer authentication against RADIUS (allow only school devices to connect through SSID). As I am a network engineer I am struggling with NPS settings and machine certificates.
I have lab settings in our office where I am using Windows Server 2012 and configured domain certificates using the links below
https://4sysops.com/archives/how-to-deploy-certificates-with-group-policy-part-2-configuration/#creating-the-certificates
http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000919.htm
Under NPS I have two policies, one for domain devices and one for non-domain devices
Domain_devices policy:
Conditions - NAS Port Type - Wireless-Other OT Wireless - IEEE 802.11
Machine groups - domain\Domain devices - PC added to that group
Constraints - Auth. method - Microsoft Smart Card or other certificate
Domain_devices policy:
Conditions - NAS Port Type - Wireless-Other OT Wireless - IEEE 802.11
Constraints - Auth. method - Microsoft Protected EAP (PEAP)
When tested with iPad this was able to connect fine but when testing with domain laptop NPS is returning Event ID 6273 Reason code 16
Authentication failed due to a user credentials mismatch. Either the user name provided does not map to an existing user account or the password was incorrect.
password is correct as I am using same one for iPad as well as computer login
Anybody with an idea why it's not working?
Thanks

Hi Lukas,
Based on your description, the first policy is for domain devices, the second policy is for non-domain devices, the iPad is non-domain device and the laptop is domain device, is that
right?
Due to the certificate was deployed via GPO, have you checked if the user or computer certificate was installed successfully in the laptops?
To verify if the user certificate was installed in the laptop, please follow steps below,
1. Click
Start, click Run, enter MMC to open a Console.
2. Click
File, click Add/Remove Snap-in,
3. In the Add or Remove Snap-ins, click
Certificates, click Add, check My user account, click
Finish, click OK.
4. Expand
Console Root\Certificates-Current User\Personal, if there are not any certificate in this container, it shows that user certificate was not installed successfully.
To verify if the computer certificate was installed in the laptop, please follow steps below,
1. Click
Start, click Run, enter MMC to open a Console.
2. Click
File, click Add/Remove Snap-in,
3. In the Add or Remove Snap-ins, click
Certificates, click Add, check Computer account, click
Finish, click OK.
4. Expand
Console Root\Certificates(Local Computer)\Personal, if there are not any certificate in this container, it shows that computer certificate was not installed successfully.
Also, the NPS server and laptops are all need to trust CA, so please check if there is a CA certificate in the
Trusted Root Certification Authorities\Certificates container.

Tina

Connecting to wireless - IP address problems, netcfg and iwconfig

I have been running into some baffling problems when connecting to wireless. I regularly connect to an unsecured wireless with a hidden essid connection that then has some kind of ssl login.
here is the info for it:
sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
Password:
eth1 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:15:6D:AB:A4:2A
ESSID:""

9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s
48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
I can never connect with netcfg, i use the "wireless" profile as follows:
CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="auto connect to wireless node"
INTERFACE=eth1
SCAN="no"
SECURITY="None"
ESSID="any"
IP="dhcp"
if i do execute:
sudo netcfg wireless
then i get this:
:: wireless up
[BUSY] dhcpcd: timed out
- DHCP IP lease attempt failed.
[FAIL]
the only way i can connect is if i do a:
sudo ifconfig eth1 up
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid ""
sudo dhclient eth1
if dhclient doesnt connect, this is what it says:
sudo dhclient eth1

oftentimes i have to do dhclient multiple times (the same goes if i try and use dhcpcd)...can someone explain why this happens?

I am having the same problem on a network with a signal Quality: 5/5.
I used to use wicd without problems (pre 1.6.*). About a month ago I started having problems with wicd. At first I had trouble getting wicd to start, but after updating to 1.6.2 that problem went away. I then starting having problems with connecting to the network. It would show that it was connected and then disconnect after a few seconds (may have been a problem with dhcp). When I started having problems with wicd I decided to wait for an update to fix it, so I don't know if something else changed during that time that might be causing this problem.
Last night I decided to try netcfg. I following the directions on the Arch wiki and it worked. I connected to my WPA network with DHCP and was able to surf the net. I then tried disconnecting and reconnecting, just to be sure that everything was working. Ever since then I have been getting the same
:: wireless up
[BUSY] dhcpcd: timed out
- DHCP IP lease attempt failed.
[FAIL]
that was mentioned earlier.
Since this appears to be happening with both wicd and netcfg, is it possible that this is a problem with the driver? I am using the broadcom-wl driver and the output from lspci is
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 05)
Thanks

Wireless IP address wrong assign wrong

I have a linksys 120N router I'm working on . The router does not show it sees the laptop. The laptop sees the wireless SSID name and seems to connect to it. But it does not get any Internet. The laptop says the ipconfig address is 192.168.0.1 . But the main wired computer does not show the laptop at all. How do you change the laptop's IP address so it can get internet access.

Make sure that the laptop does not have static ip address in it...Assuming that operating system on your laptop is XP..Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select the option "Obtain the ip address automatically" and "Obtain the DNS automatically"..Click on Apply.

Printers supporting Radius wireless networks

Do any printers exist that support Radius wirless networking and Mac OS X 10.8??

Simply reconfigure your Airport Express to either use for airtunes only or to extend the range of the existing network. This effectively connects the Airport Express to your main wireless router as a basic access node rather than a separate router creating its own network.
If you consult the User Guide that came with your Airport Express you'll find additional information on how to setup an Express to simply extend a local wireless network rather than function independently.

Wireless Printer address lost at PC RESTART

HDW Config: PC1 is XP SP3 hardwired (network cable) to BEFW11S4v4 (Most current firmware); PC2 is Wireless using WUS11 v2 ; Printer is HP 6988 Wireless.
SW Config and settings when failure still occurs: With or without Antivirus(AVG), Firewall (ZA, not msft), With or without WEP Key and with 64-bit WEP; XP at current SP3; 6988 set to use 806.11b all the time.

Problem simplified: PC1 (DHCP in .20-.26 range) that is hardwired to router can not find the printer after PC restart (PING to the printer 192.168.40 a static address) fails.
PC2 (static address 192.168.22) which is wireless has no problem pinging printer. If I switch PC1 to wireless mode, it also is successful every time even after PC restart.
So, problem is only on a PC hardwired to router trying to locate a wireless printer after a PC restart. If I cannot get to the printer, but cycle my router (unfortunately killing my other PC connections) the address becomes available (can now ping) and I can print to it.
Question: How is connection between printer and PC through the router established? How does my PC find out that there is a printer at 192.168.1.40 without me having to power-cycle the router? Sounds to me like one of the devices isn't abiding to protocols.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Router is fine. I connected PC2(laptop Windows/ME) via network cable and its XIRCOM Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 card and it has no problems seeing printer on 192.168.1.40.
Looks like its either XP or my NIC, Intel Pro/100 VE Network Connections. According to DELL site, I am at most current adapter driver(?) for it, but I did pull a newer "package" (don't know driver inside yet). Hesitated putting it on after it said I needed to delete old one first. I'll pull Dell driver (same as mine) for back and proceed with that way.
Can anybody think of anything in XP that could be corrupted

Microsoft 2008 NPS Radius + wireless controller.

Hi,
We have implemented new Microsoft 2008 NPS Radius for authentification wireless controller.
i am seeing RADIUS server x.x.x.x:1812 failed to respond to request (ID 119) for client ............. in controller. But there no logs hitting to the NPS server either failed or success or other related.
Layer 3 comminucation is fine between controller & server.
As per the debug logs,controller forwarding request NPS server "Successful transmission of Authentication Packet tp ......NPS proxy ".
But there is no further key exchange or successful authentication logs, any idea on this?
Thanks

Download NTRadPing and test to see if your radius is working. You can put a sniffer on and see if you see packets coming out of the wlc and radius. You can always remove the aaa from the wlc and add it back on and also remove and add back on the wlc as a aaa client on the radius server.
Thanks,

My macbook pro just told me someone was using one if my wireless ip addresses

has anyone had this happen. I got a quick message that an ip address of mine was being used???? Is this part of Lion I just got this macbook pro

This is often a problem caused by a poorly configured or non-existent DHCP server. Check your router settings and make sure that DHCP is enabled and configured to allow a significant number of IPs to be assigned for a reasonable amount of time. If you don't have access to the DHCP server on your network (ie You are at school, work, etc.) then contact your network administrator and they can help you with the problem.
More information about your computer and network is really required to provide a better tailored answer.
For example:
What type of network? (Home, work, school)
What is providing the network? (cable modem, dsl router, wireless router, etc)
Who set it up?
Do you know how to configure your network preferences?
Do you know how to configure your network equipment?

Wireless sync - address book

I am using Desktop Manager 4.7 and having problems setting up wireless sync for my address book. When I try to set up wireless sync, I go into options, desktop Wireless sync says not available, and I cant change to yes or no. I have reset the config in desktop manager
Tasks etc are setup ok - but address book is an issue

Our company specializes in wireless BlackBerry sync - using your original BB contacts/calendar/notes/tasks.
A plugin is installed on the BlackBerry, and one in Outlook. The installation/configuration takes no longer than approximately 1 minute, and after the initial process, it runs seamlessly in the background, without any user intervention.
The sync occurs like this:
1) BB to our server
2) Outlook to our server.
Our servers are in the midpoint of all syncing - that way, neither the BB/Outlook needs to be on at the same time. We also have a webmail interface to access your contacts/calendar/notes/tasks online.
You can also sync an unlimited # of BlackBerries with an unlimited # of PC's, provided that the data you want synced between them are the same. Thus, there are several uses of our product - some users use it to simply sync two computers together, some use it to sync corporate BlackBerries together etc.
Features:
Sync your BlackBerry with outlook Wirelessly
Sync contacts/calendar/notes/tasks
Online Web Access for Synced Data
Complimentary Full Service Email Hosting (10GB)
Simple 1 minute install
Daily Backups of all data / and the ability to restore
24 hour technical support via phone and email
Ability to sync multiple BlackBerries and PC's together
Minimum Requirements:
BlackBerry with OS 4.2.1 or greater
Microsoft Outlook 2003 or greater
Windows 2000 or greater

Understanding Wireless Mac Address

Hi,
I would like to know te range of mac address used for only Cisco Wireless, and I would appreciate to know how the ap and the controler assign the virtual mac address they use and how to get them from the WLC gui.
WLC - 4400
AP - Air1131
Thanks

As you add SSIDs (Service Set Identification(s)) to an access point each BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) receives a virtual mac address. This allows for wireless network segmentation as well as for wireless clients to communicate via LAYER 2 with each access point BSSID.
A Cisco access point takes the base radio mac address and then virtualizes the mac address as additional SSIDs are added. What is interesting is how the virtual MAC addresses are selected. Pay very close attention to the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz radios and BSSIDs.
BASE RADIO MAC ADDRESS
You can find the base radio mac address under WIRELESS->Select Access Point
Virtualized BSSID(s)
I configured a controller with 16 SSIDs. Each SSID named as 01,02,03,04,05,06, 07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,15 and 16. I then enabled both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. Cisco WLC access points have a limit of 16 SSIDs on each radio.
I then fired up AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer Pro to conduct a capture.
Note: The access point base radio mac address ends in A9:10.
2.4 GHz – Notice the first SSID ‘01’ is assigned the BASE RADIO MAC ADDRESS A9:10. The second SSID is appended with a .11 and so on.
5GHz – Notice the sixteenth SSID ‘16’ is assigned the BASE RADIO MAC ADDRESS A9:10. The fifteenth SSID is appended with a .11 and so on.
NOTE: The VIRTUAL MAC ADDRESSES get reused by the access point on both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz radios.
Virtualized BSSID Assignment
Keep in mind, the assignment or order in which the virtual mac addresses are assigned in the above example has nothing to do with the WLAN IDs that are configured in the WLC. Rather, the virtual mac addresses are assigned in order by how the SSID is assigned to the access point.

ACS 4.2 RADIUS - Wireless - Certificates

I setup our ACS 4.2 server for TACACS and also to provide RADIUS authentication for our WLAN and eventually will use it for 802.1x authentication for the LAN.
I am not an expert on certificates. I called TAC to get assistance installing the self signed certificate on ACS. This allowed me to build and test my WLan. Now that I am near the point of going live with this I'd like to install a certificate that won't expire in 1 year.
How do most people do this? We do have a windows 2003 server that acts as the Certificate Authority for other services. Should I be doing something with that? And how do most people get these certifactes deployed to the clients? by GPO?
Clearly I am not very familiar with Certificates and I apologize for this, but reading about them is getting confusing, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be a big help! Thank you!
Edit: I should mention I've been using PEAP with the self signed certificate. And currently manually installing the certificate on my test clients. As it is right now everytihng on my WLan works great: authentication, vlan assignment, etc. I'm just confused on the best practice for the certificate.

ACS can only provide validity of one year. Using Microsoft CA you configure it for 5...6...7 years, depending upon your need.
It is easy to handle and manage it via GPO.
Two PEAP scenarios,
Using peap without validate server option checked---> Easy to deploy as cert is required only on ACS.
Using PEAP with validate server option checked---> Needs CA cert on each client.
Also you can get the certs from vendors like Verisign, Entrust, Equifax , GeoTrust etc. The advantage with these certs are that we don't have to install CA on each client as it is installed by default on each operating system.
Hope that helps!
Regards,
~JG
