Setting up 2nd Ethernet port for NAS connection

Hi
I want to split out my internet and NAS drive access across my two Ethernet ports.
Port 1 is connected to my router and connects to the internet.
Port 2 is connected to a gigabit switch and then into two NAS drives. I have set up the second ethernet port with a manual ip and it says it is connected. But when I use Command K to connect to the ip address of the NAS, it cannot connect. Previously this worked fine when everything was going out of Ethernet port 1.
I suspect I have not set up Ethernet port 2 correctly. So far I have set it up for manual configuration and given it an ip address of 192.168.1.17 (the NAS is 192.168.1.18, Ethernet 1 is 192.168.119). Nothing else has been entered.
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

Ping the destination address 192.168.1.19 from a terminal window and see if it responds.

Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?

can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.

Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router.

I need to tell Print services to use the 2nd ethernet port

I need to tell Print services to use the 2nd ethernet port
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light. My research has led me to a dead-end so far. Running 10.3.9 on my server. XServe Dual 2.3
I want to have File services and the various other duties pushed through one ethernet port, and print services on the other. I know there is probably a config file to make one simple edit, but I can not find it, or perhaps a "defaults" type command.
Also, where is this "command-line administration guide" that I keep running across on Apple's support?
Thanks in advance.

Similar issue here too. Is it the subnet? Basically, I'm having a problem printing to an AirportExpress-served printer. Our network looks like this:
(From Outside...>>>...to Inside)
(Public IP) DSL Modem
...(10.0.0.x) Airport Express -- HP DesignJet 100 USB -- Airtunes/stereo
...(10.0.0.x) NetGear Wireless Router
...(10.0.0.x nic 0) Mac OS X Server (192.168.0.x nic1)
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
The printer driver does not appear to be able to do IP printing, it assumes a direct USB connection. We can setup the OS X Server with the printer served by the Airport Express, as it is found via Bonjour, and then we share its queue via Server Admin. The problem is that the LAN clients cannot print to this server queue. The printer gets stopped at the server.
If we turn OFF the OS X Server's firewall, printing works from both the clients and obviously from the Server. I think my question is this: what ports or services need to be turned on in order for the clients to print? There is no clear checkbox for "Bonjour Printer Sharing", and I'm curious what ports this would open, and if it would be safe. I thought it would work because we're pushing the print job up through the firewall, but apparently some response needs to come back through the firewall, and that's what's not happening.
And to tack onto this, how could we also push iTunes to the Airport Express from the Clients? Assuming the music goes over different ports than the print jobs. ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Using Appliance Ports for NAS

Using Appliance Ports for NAS
Hey all connecting a NAS to UCS. Would like to plug in directly to FI’s using the Appliance Port option.
Are the steps basically
Turn on Ports use as Appliance Ports
Make PIN Group through Appliance Ports (this will only be one port per FI, I am guess Port-Channels can be used if NAS supports that?)
Make VLAN internal to UCS
Make vNIC Template and use newly created VLAN and PIN Group
Boom!
Right?
Thanks!
Craig

I have made port 20 on each 6120 an Appliance Ports.
Each port is assigned to a VLAN made under the Appliances tab.
Cannot seem to make a PIN group using these Appliance ports. They are not a option.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks!
Craig

Ports for External Connection

Hi, i have one problem, i dont know what's ports i need to open in my modem for one user in other network connect in my network. I need to make a NAT for this, but i need to know apple remote port for external connection. And sorry for my english, bad.
thank's.

You need to open TCP and UDP port 3283 and, for ARD 2.0 and later, TCP and UDP port 5900. For encrypted file transfer (ARD 3.x), open TCP port 22. You may also need to open TCP (and perhaps UDP) 5988 and 5989, though it's not clear under what circumstances this will be necessary.

Change http port for Adobe Connect Pro?

I'm running Adobe Connect Pro 7.5 and would like to change the HTTP port Adobe Connect Pro uses. I've changed this from 80 to 90 in the Adobe Connect Pro console and saved. Then restarted my Adobe Connect Pro application. When I go to the URL http:\\<servername>:90 I get a "Connot Connect to Webpage" error. If I change it back to 80 the URL http:\\<servername>:80 works.
Does anyone know how I can change the port for Adobe Connect Pro 7.5? Is there another step I need to do on my Windows 2003 server?

I've had to "cache" uploaded videos by playing them shortly before the audience will see them. For me, the cache holding time when using Adobe's servers is about 5 minutes.

Using 2nd Built-In Ethernet port for internet access?

Hello,
I have a Quad-G5 running 10.4.8. In its current configuration, all its network communications, including web access, go over the active ethernet port (Built-in 1).
Does anyone know how I could use the second built-in port for internet access only? I'd like to route local traffic over the first port, but go "out" over the second.
The machine is on a corporate network, and proxy access is slowwww. I have the ability to use a direct connect to the internet, but still need to be connected locally. Any thoughts? Many thanks . . . JD

Easy. Go to System Preferences > Network > Network Port Configurations and drag the port connected to the internet to the top, so that it has priority over the port connected to your LAN. This prevents DNS time-out when loading a website, but still allows LAN traffic over the other port because that traffic is most likely going to use ARP rather than DNS. For good measure, you can add your company's domain (such as "my_company.lan") to System Preferences > Network > Internal_Ethernet > TCP/IP > Search Domains.

Time Capsule is connected wirelessly and I need to use ethernet ports for other devices.

I have a 1st Gen Time capsule 802.11n and an Airport Extreem round hockey puck style. My airport utillity program is version 6.2 My OS is 10.7.5 My internet is from a verizon hot spot Jetpak. All my devices, laptop, desk top, printer, and time machine are running off this jetpak.
How can I use the ethernet ports on the back of my time capsule for a device that I had pluged in to my airport extreem? Before I had verizon, I had hughes net for my internet provider. My time capsule was the main unit in a WDS network with the airport extreem. I no longer have Hughes Net and I need to run this item that was pluged into the airport extreem ethernet port.
Of course with the newer airport utillity software (6.2) I can not control the older airport extreem anymore. This does not help my situation

You need to load the older utility.. 5.6 is still available for lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
WDS is hidden option so hold down the option key..
But I would search around for a cheap airport extreme N square type.. doesn't matter how old and you can pick up the older ones for $50 or so easily.. Then you use wireless extend which works much better than WDS. Using WDS you are killing wireless speed for everything.

How do you make use of the 2nd Ethernet port on the Mac Pro?

My Mac Pro's ethernet port connects it to the local network and the internet.
Under what circumstances would I make use of the 2nd port?
Are there any settings I'd have to set up in system preferences to make sure one is used for some things while the other is used for different things?
I'm asking because we might be making some changes to our network. We have a printer with a Fiery RIP and I'm pretty much the only one who prints to it. I was wondering if we could/should set up a direct, dedicated connection so that network traffic won't bog down print jobs.

The main use for that port today is to create a subnetwork for Internet Sharing. Software inside the Mac can act as a Router and provides new DHCP Addresses for the subnetwork. In general, the devices on the subnetwork would be inaccessible from anywhere else, due to Network Address Translation.
If you are concerned about heavy network traffic, consider upgrading your Switches (not Routers) to Gigabit Ethernet speeds and using Jumbo frames. (Routers are not involved in peer-to-peer transfers such as Printing when no Address Translation is involved.)
If you have an Industrial Router, you can combine the two Ethernet ports into one composite link for faster-than-Gigabit effective speeds, but it requires a special Router not generally available.

Airport Express Ethernet Port for XBOX

Please could somebody help me!!!
I have the new Airport Extreme in my home office running an 80211n network. It is also connected by one of its ethernet ports to my first airport express providing my home with an 80211g network for our older powerbooks.
I have a second Airport Express in my living room which is plugged into my Sony Receiver for use with airtunes.
Question - we have just got an XBOX. It is located in the living room next to the second Airport Express. I want to plug the xbox into the LAN port on the airport express so that the XBOX can access the internet. Please could somebody explain how I do this. (I do not have the wireless adapter for the XBOX).
Many thanks!

Thanks for the help. I followed your directions and the info in the linked page. Everything appeared to configure correctly. However, the xbox still does not get a connection. The xbox is connected to the 2nd AX using an ethernet cable. Am I meant to somehow tell this AX to allow its single WAN port to act as a LAN port? Or is this meant to be automatic? Also, do I need to set this AX to distribute IPs... or will the 1st AX do that? In other words how does the xbox get an IP. Any other ideas???
I am really grateful for any help you can offer...

Can I convert a PB 1400's PC card port to a ethernet port for file sharing?

My plan here is to connect a PowerBook 1400cs/133 running OS 8.6 to an iBook G4 running OS 10.4 by means of an ethernet crossover cable, and move my important files (ClarisWorks 4.0 docs and games mostly) to the new computer. But the PB 1400 has no ethernet port! Is there something I can put in the PC card slot that will convert it to an ethernet port?

jpl, Denis, here's my setup:
The PB 1400 is connected to the iBook via a Farallon EtherWave/EtherMac Ethernet PC Card (with a blue arrow, PCMCIA 2.1, PC Card Standard). I have the Farallon software installed and the Farallon extension turned on. A "Farallon EN Card" icon appears on my desktop, and the little light on the cord where it connects to the card is green. I used to use the card to connect to the internet back in the day when the 1400 was my primary computer, so I'm confident it works.
The PB 1400 (name: Ben's PowerBook 1400): AppleTalk, configured to connect via alternate ethernet. File sharing, on. TCP/IP, connected via AppleTalk (Mac IP). I've tried configuring that both "Using Mac IP server" and manually by entering in the iBook's IP address and router address (the 1400 is not connected to the internet). As far as I can tell, Users/Groups is configured; it has "Ben" as "user" and "Guest" as "guest user."
The iBook (name: Ben's iBook G4) is set up basically identical to the way jpl describes his iMac above. Like his, the services panel of sharing on the iBook says "Other Macintosh users can access your computer at afp://x.x.x.6." I also manually entered the iBook's IP address, subnet mask, and router. Under my shared location, under Built-in Ethernet, TCP/IP is configured and AppleTalk is active.
Still, file sharing is not working. When I try to access the iBook from the 1400, I go to the Chooser, click the AppleShare icon, and "Ben's iBook G4" in the file server window. When I select it and click OK, I go to a screen to enter my name (Ben) and password as a registered user. I'm not sure if the password it wants is the file sharing password I set up for the 1400 or the administrator password for the iBook, so I tried them both. I also tried connecting as a "guest." In all cases, after I hit the "Connect" button, I got the error message "The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken."
No luck going the opposite direction either. When I go to Go: Connect to Server: Browse on the iBook, "Ben's PowerBook 1400" appears in the Network area, but when I select it and hit the "connect" button, I get this error message: "The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it."

Airport Express ethernet port for printing?

I've recently purchased an Extreme (802.11n) for my wireless internet service which is working just fine on its own. In the other room I've set up my older Airport Express for only networking my printers. I don't want to hook up the printer to the ethernet ports on the Extreme as it is near my TV and entertainment center. I understand I cannot use a USB hub to connect two printers to the Express, but is it possible to use the Ethernet port on the Express for my Lexmark E240 or any other ethernet ready laser printer?
Thanks
Al Powerbook, MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hello Jeff Crowell...Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I understand I cannot use a USB hub to connect two printers to the Express, but is it possible to use the Ethernet port on the Express for my Lexmark E240 or any other ethernet ready laser printer?
To activate the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), you need to configure it as a Remote Base Station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - Remote Base Station Setup
(Note: To facilitate setting up the Base Station(s), place them in near proximity of each other during the set up phase.)
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility (in Manual Mode) to make the following settings:
AirPort - Wireless tab
- Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
- Network Name: <existing AirPort Network Name>
- Radio Mode: 802.11b/g compatible
- Channel: 1
- Wireless Security: None
AirPort - WDS tab
- WDS Mode: WDS remote
- Allow wireless clients (enabled)
- WDS Main: <MAC address of the Main Base Station>
Internet - Internet Connection tab
- Connect Using: AirPort (WDS)
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
- Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)

Any way to select Ethernet ports for outgoing SMTP mail?

We've got an Xserve G4 running OS X Tiger Server 10.4.6. We're hosting two domains for Web and Mail services (call them mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com). Web service is running great, and Mail service is running fairly well except for one minor snafu I can't seem to figure out.
The problem is that outbound SMTP mail is always directed out through the same Ethernet port -- the primary Ethernet port. What I would like to have happen is that mail coming from [email protected] addresses go out through the primary Ethernet port (mail.mydomain1.com) and mail coming from [email protected] addresses go out through a secondary Ethernet port (mail.mydomain2.com). If we don't do this, there's a few mail servers out there who become paranoid and think we're spamming them -- they see mail coming from an IP address associated with the mydomain1.com domain for a user with a mydomain2.com ReplyTo address.
Does anyone know of any way to select which port gets used for outbound mail selectively? Offhand I can't see any solution except to get a second e-mail server to handle mail for mydomain2.com.
This may not impact the issue, but for incoming mail I'm making use of virtual domains (but not virtual hosts) so that mail can be received by a user in any of the following ways:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I found the solution in case anyone else is having this same problem. What I did was:
1. Delete the MobileMe account from the iPhone
2. Create the POP account with the proper inbound and outbound settings
3. iPhone will attempt to connect to the POP via SSL which fails and prompts to go sans-SSL
4. Accept the non-SSL option and back out of the Mail setup
5. Create the MobileMe account
6. Tap Add SMTP server
7. The POP account's SMTP server will be listed, turn it on
6. Turn off MobileMe's SMTP server
9. Back out to view accounts and select the POP account
10. Disable the POP account (prevents duplicate emails)
It turns out that the phone will allow you to turn of SSL on POP accounts because it goes through the process of checking to see if it can use SSL -- when that fails, you have the option to turn it off. Because of the way MobileMe sets up, you don't have that option on that account which is why you need to create the POP first.

Using separate ethernet ports for LAN and internet

Following scenario:
A couple of Lion clients and a Lion server connected to a switch. Switch connected to router for internet access. All devices, clients, server and router are in the same C-Class net.
I'd like to connect the Lion server with 2 ethernet ports to the switch, so that one port is solely used for connections to the Lion clients (aka LAN) and the other port is solely used for connections to the internet. That way heavy LAN traffic to/from the server cannot bog down internet access to the server. Any ideas how to acomplish that?
Usually you would configure the Lion server as a router and connect the Lion clients (via a switch) to one port and the cable modem to the other, so both ports are in different subnets. But I don't want all internet traffic from the clients going through the Lion server.
The best I've come up so far was to configure both ethernet ports with static IP addresses. The one connecting to the clients with a 255.255.255.0 netmask but no router IP given. The one for internet with a 255.255.255.255 netmask and the router IP set to my physical router IP. It seems to work, but I'm not sure, whether this is the suggested way to do such a setup.
Maybe some manual editing of the routing table is are more solid solution?
Any tips appreciated.
Pete

What you want to do can be done but maybe not the way you are trying.
First yes, you would use two Etherner ports on the Mac, if it is a Mac Pro or XServe it has two built-in, other Mac models can do this using a USB Ethernet interface.
Next, the way I would normally do this is to have a separate switch for the WAN router, this would make the setup look like the following
LAN Switch ----- Server ------------ Router --- Internet
       | |                             |
       | |                            NAT
       | +-----------------------------+
       |
       +------ Client Devices
The router could be doing NAT via one interface, or a separate Firewall box could do the NAT.
Another possible way would involve segmenting the lan switch by setting up a VLAN and putting one port for the Servers second Ethernet connection on to that VLAN (using public IP addresses and the a connection to the router on that VLAN, the LAN switch could then route between the two VLANs. Cheaper LAN switches do not have this ability.

How to specify one ethernet port for network home directories (other for normal filesharing)?

So I'm trying to get Home Directories up and running on a 10.6.8 Xserve (waiting until I get my NFS sharepoints migrated to a Linux server [for other reasons] before moving up to 10.7 Server). But posting here since that will be happening in the next few weeks, and it might be applicable now (so I can at least get that resolved ahead of time).
I have a different DNS entry for each ethernet port: server.office.domain.com at 192.168.0.11 for the first, and homes.services.internal at 192.168.0.10 for the second. DNS lookups for both resolve correctly (as does the reverse lookup).
If I use the Server Admin to pick a sharepoint as an automount for Home Directories, everything is fine, but it picks the server.office.domain.com hostname. Picking that works just fine, but that is also the connection that feeds the filesharing. I'd prefer to split that home directory traffic out onto the second ethernet port. So I tried just duplicating the initial connection (since it can't be edited directly in Workgroup Manager) and changing the hostname to the internal one, but I get an error when attempting to log in (the client login screen gives a very helpful "Couldn't login because of an error" error message) and don't see anything in the server logs.
The client machine shows the following line:
Code:
10/20/12 5:27:42.688 PM authorizationhost: ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] |
PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://homes.services.internal/Users,
homedir=/Network/Servers/homes.services.internal/Volumes/HomeDirectories/Users/ user123, name=user123 ) returned 45
(added line breaks so it didn't extend off the page)
So it looks like this is failing because the automount isn't in place, but I'm not sure how to work that out either (i.e. how do I add that making sure it uses the internal hostname?).
Any suggestions on getting this to work?
I realize one solution is just to LACP the two ports, but that is a different ball of wax (I may do that later if I get a 4 port ethernet card and performance limitations demand it).

A possible solution might be this.
On ADSLBOX and CABLEBOX configure different subnets for the LAN, e.g.
ADSLBOX: 192.168.1.0/24
CABLEBOX: 192.168.2.0/24
The MEDIABOX gets these static IPs:
ADSL-LAN: 192.168.1.2
CABLE-LAN: 192.168.2.2
On the MEDIABOX, configure the two network interfaces using two routing tables.
The ADSL-LAN routing table
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2 table 1
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 table 1
The CABLE-LAN routing table
ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2 table 2
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1 table 2
The main routing table
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2
ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2
# use the CABLE-LAN gateway as default, so general internet traffic from MEDIABOX runs over CABLEBOX
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1
define the lookup rules
ip rule add from 192.168.1.2 table 1
ip rule add from 192.168.2.2 table 2
To test the setup:
ip route show
ip route show table 1
ip route show table 2
I don't know how to persist something like this in ArchLinux using netctl. Might require to write a special systemd unit for it. Above is a working example from a RedHat box at my company.
