RV016: PPTP Server and "Block MAC address"

So if the PPTP server is enabled, and "Block MAC address not on the list" is enabled under the DHCP settings, will the PPTP client get an IP address?
Similarly, if the PPTP server is enabled and the range of IP addresses configured on the PPTP server screen is outside the IP range of the router due to a subnet mask (like 255.255.225.248 for example), will the IP still be assigned to the PPTP client? If assigned, will that IP have any connectivity to the LAN?
Thank you in advance for any answers!

So here's how PPTP works with these two features:
1. The PPTP IP range is a different range than the DHCP range. You get an error message if your PPTP IP range overlaps with the DHCP one.
I didn't test the 'Block MAC' function because since the IP isn't coming from the DHCP pool, I highly doubt any MAC blocking will work.
2. Since your PPTP IP address range is outside of the DHCP range, this point is completely taken off the table. However, if you choose an IP range that's outside of the subnet, you'll get an error message when saving. I also learned that if you set the PPTP IP to just a single number and connect, the router will automatically reject any additional connections since no IPs are available.

How to connect to a network that has blocked Mac addresses?

My school has blocked Mac addresses how do I get around this?

What good is it to have a router that doesn't block mac addresses like its supposed too!!!

what good is it to have a router that doesn't block mac addresses like its supposed too!!!

At 10:30pm I think I'd like to talk this out....Lemme give you some more details and lets get some hardware programmers involved. I think this is a cross-platform conflict or at the remote a outdated hardware problem. What do you need from me to track this issue down? I have been patient and have waited over 1yr or maybe 2, waiting for an update to correct this issue. Alas, there has been no solution to this problem. I have 13 seperate MAC addy's on the network. 1 wired and the the rest wireless(some constant, others random). All on a schedule(some timed access, some all the time). I have macBooks, Labtops, Desktops, Ipads, Ipods, DSIs, Windows7, WindowsXP Pro, PS3, AppleTV and a few random BlueTooths. Not that much.
Anyways, I think somehow there is a hole because of cross-platfom compatability that is making my daughter able to get on the net unless I change the wireless password......
No I have no proof...It's just a feeling

How to block mac address in 2800 router

sir
how to block mac addresses in cisco 2800 router

Hi,
To block mac addresses you can simply create Mac based ACLs which ranges between
700 to 799
Example:
access-list 700 deny xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
access-list 700 permit yyyy.yyyy.yyyy.yyyy
now you can apply it on interface:
int f0/0
access-group 700 in
exit

Configure active and standby mac address in failover

Hi guys,
I just have a doubt that, if I configure the active and standby mac address in failover, does it will cause any downtime?
As I planning to configure the active and standby mac addresses in failover during production time and not wish that it will bring any downtime to me.
Besides that, just need some guideline that do I need to put all the interfaces' mac addresses in failover?
failover mac address GigabitEthernet0/0 0022.90fe.2000 0022.90fe.2001
failover mac address GigabitEthernet0/1 0022.90fe.3000 0022.90fe.3001
failover mac address GigabitEthernet0/2 0022.90fe.4000 0022.90fe.4001
failover mac address GigabitEthernet0/3 0022.90fe.5000 0022.90fe.5001

Hi Marius,
Seem like set the failover MAC address was not working for me.
Last friday I was tested the failover MAC address.
TEST 1
1, Power off primary ASA and secondary ASA work as active.
2, 2821 router able to learn the correct arp entries.
TEST 2
1, Power on primary ASA and failover from secondary to primary.
2, 2821 router able to learn the correct arp entries from ASA.
3, Set failover MAC address, power off primary ASA and secondary ASA be active.
4, 2821 router unable to learn the correct arp entries.
TEST 3
1, Removed failover MAC address from secondary ASA.
2, 2821 router still unable to learn the correct arp entries from ASA.
3, Power up primary ASA and secondary ASA still in active.
4, 2821 router still unable to learn the correct arp entries from ASA.
5, Reboot 2821 router and it able to learn the arp entries from ASA.
I am not sure this issue from router or from the ASA. But I guess I will try to upgrade the router in term of software and hardware.

Hi. I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility. I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these? Thanks.

Hi. I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility. I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these? Thanks.

Let's say that an iPhone is one of the wireless clients that you want to allow access to the network.
The Description of this device is anything that you want to specify for easy identification purposes. For example, the Description might be something like......
Rex's iPhone
The MAC Address, also known as a Wi-Fi Address is a unique indentifiction number that is assigned to every device. The number will always follow this form:
xx : xx : xx : xx : xx : xx, where "x" could be a number or letter.
To find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address of an iPhone or iPad.....
On the Home screen.....
Tap Settings
Tap General
Tap About
Wi-Fi Address is the item that you want
If you have a Mac computer......you can find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address as follows:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on Wi-Fi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
The Wi-Fi Address for the Mac is located at the bottom of the window
Other wireless devices usually have the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address on the label on the back or bottom of the device

Spanning Tree and Admin mac address issues srw2048

Ok, I have a somewhat complex problem and hopefully someone may shed some light or have an idea as to whats wrong.
First the scenario:
I have two Cisco Cat 6509's etherchanneled to each other via two fiber cables. One of these is the STP/RSTP root. I have two SRW2048's.. one trunked to each of these 6509 switches. There is also a trunk between the SRW2048's. All this is to create a redundant topology so that if one of the switches fail's the others can still forward packets to each other. Of course the scenario described is in fact a loop that should be handled by STP/RSTP. I have RSTP enabled on all the switches in the scenario (PV RSTP on the cisco switches as they only do Cisco's brand of per vlan spanning tree). There are 3 vlan's configured on each of the srw2048's (2,55,96). There are corresponding vlan's also on the 6509's. I have put the srw2048's management interface into vlan 2.
The problem:
I need to forward packets between the srw2048's primarily and only use the 6509 that is not the root when a failure happens. I have configured the non-root 6509's spanning tree cost on the etherchannel to be higher then the alternate path through the srw's to the root. I can hook everything up and view the spanning tree and see that the srw2048's interface that goes to the non-root 6509 is blocked, and all other interfaces on the other switches are forwarding. I can in fact ping and get to the admin interface on all the switches. Then for some strange reason the admin interface of the srw2048 plugged into the non-root 6509 stops responding. If I disable either the interface its plugged into on the 6509 or the other srw2048 everything starts working again. Sometimes it responds after many failures for no apparent reason. I looked into the mac-address table on the 6509's and they are conflicting, pointing to each other for the mac-address of the broken srw2048. When I clear the mac-table the admin port comes back for about 5 seconds then again goes dark. When reviewing mac-table on the 6509's they are back to pointing to each other. The odd thing (although I haven't confirmed this completely) is that hosts placed into vlan 2 on that same srw2048 seem to work fine. If there was an STP loop or something misconfigured, I would expect it to effect any host in vlan 2 or the other vlan's for that matter on the srw2048 that stops responding. Alas, I am stuck because I need to manage this switch remotely. My only thought is that for some reason even when the STP status is blocked the broken srw2048 is still sending out arp's of its admin interface and bypassing the STP protocol. I have no way to confirm this, but maybe someone has an idea as to what I'm doing wrong, or otherwise offer a solution. For now, I simply removed vlan 2 from the 6509 that the broken srw2048 is plugged into and everything seems fine.
My apologies for such a long post, but this is somewhat complicated. Thanks in advance for any info.

To follow up, I had a ticket open with Linksys about this for about 3 months with no resolution. I submitted packet captures, stp outputs, etc and no luck. I gave up and basically had to revert to a manual failover for redundancy. It's no perfect or fast, but it works every time.
Unless linksys issues a firmware upgrade with this as a fix, I doubt we will be able to ever resolve this on our own.

Linksys Wireless Print server and my Mac G4

I just set up my linksys wireless print server and it's printing from my PC just fine - not so on my G4. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200, and the appropriate drivers etc are installed.
I know the IP address and have tried setting up the printer via IPP (and pinged it from the mac successfully). Just no success printing. The printer utility looks like it is printing to the printer but nothing comes out.
Any ideas?

You won't be able to get this to work.
The Canon printer drivers won't allow you to connect to and print to a Canon printer attached to a wireless print server.
There is no solution, there is no way that this can work
You have three solutions.
Replace the Canon printer with another printer for which the drivers will work.
Replace the Canon printer with a networked Canon printer such as the iP4000r (or any other network printer) in which case you won't need the print server
Connect the Canon printer directly via USB to the computer to print.

WLC - block MAC Address

Wireless system with 3 x WLC-4402, version 6.0.199.4, about 100 AP, about 300 clients.
I need to block some clients that are bombarding me with frequent and repeated "Signature attack" (Auth flood).
I tried to put the MAC Address in the black-list (Disabled Client), but it seams non work.
Other suggestion ?
Claudio

If its an authentication issue, then you can enable client exclusion on the WLAN also. 3 failures will automatically put them in the exculsion list. Not that I like pgrading, but the latest versions of 7.0.x are pretty good, but you need to make sure your AP's support that code. 6.x is pretty old.

Blocking MAC-Address on Cisco Router

Can anyone tell me how to block a particular mac-address on cisco router 2900 series? There are few pc's in the network which i dont want to get them into the network anyhow. Can anyone help me out with this?
Regards,
Abhishek

With your problem-description
There are few pc's in the network which i dont want to get them into the network anyhow
the strategy of using the router to block them is the wrong way because the PCs are already on the network and the blocking has to be done at the entry-points which are the switches.
But if you want to stop them leaving your network on the router by filtering the MAC, you could also use modified QoS-mechanisms:
class-map match-any UNWANTED-PCs
match source-address mac AAAA.BBBB.CCCC
match source-address mac DDDD.EEEE.FFFF
policy-map IN-POLICY
class UNWANTED-PCs
drop
int GigabitEthernet0/0
description LAN-Interface
service-policy input IN-POLICY

BE 5K CUCM and CUC Mac-Address registering license

Hi All,
I am really confused for registering CUC license to which mac-address. (CUCM or CUC)
I have CUCM be 5k on Server 7828 both CUCM and CUC is installed on same server. For CUCM i got the mac address from show status, but how about registering the license to CUC it should be registered on same CUCM Mac address or CUC has different mac-address.
I uploaded the licenses in CUCM and need to upload the license in CUC.
Thank you all in advance.

MAC address changes should NOT effect the BI 4 server in any way, everything binds to the Server Name & IP Address.

Blocking MAC addresses

I have my airport set to only allow certain MAC addresses to have access to my network. However, the person I am trying to restrict access to has figured out how to reset the settings using the reset hole and gain access to the network. Is there any other way that I have to block access to the network if the airport is reset?

The only way to prevent this is to prevent physical access to the base station.
Nothing you configure will work, if the person can physically reset the base station to its default settings.

Base Radio Mac and SSID MAC addresses

I am looking for a way to obtain the SSID mac addresses from a report or other method. We have clients attaching to an SSID that show a MAC address that I am positive is the MAC of the SSID (based off the physical MAC of the Radio) but I cannot find it either in reports in WCS or on the controller.
Thanks!

try the following command via the CLI
show dot11 bssid
Examples
This example shows how to display a list of BSSIDs and SSIDs:
AP# show dot11 bssid
This example shows the command output:
AP1230#show dot11 bssid
Interface BSSID Guest SSID
Dot11Radio1 0011.2161.b7c0 Yes tsunami
Dot11Radio0 0005.9a3e.7c0f Yes WPA2-TLS-g

Problem with an unavailable server and the "Offline address book" rol

I have a site with two Exchange 2007 servers and tried to install a new Exchange 2013 but the process did not end well.
Now the 2013 server has the role of "Offline address book" and is no longer available which creates multiple problems. How I can do to remove the references to the 2013 server and move the role referred to one of the existing Exchange 2007 servers?

My recommendation would be to fix whatever went wrong and complete the setup.
The server is probably the generation server for a new offline address list. Check that by entering the following command.
Get-OfflineAddressBook
If there's a new list created by Exchange 2013 setup, you can simply remove it using Remove-OfflineAddressBook, and that should take care of what you're seeing.
