Setting up as bridge for wired client

I know this should be simple, but I cannot figure this out. I have an AirportExtreme base station that provides my house with wireless. What I want to do is to provide internet access to a client that only has an ethernet connection.
Essentially, I just need the Airport Express to grab the wireless internet signal and send it through its ethernet port to my device. I don't want other wireless devices to connect to it...I'd prefer those only connect to the base station. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!

Duane- thanks for the info. The AX is g and my TimeCapsule base station is n. So I guess I'll have to use the WDS feature. My network is already setup with WPA2/Personal security.
To clarify what I meant by not allowing wireless clients: I want the AX to just serve as an ethernet "extension cord" a TiVo on the other side of the hosue (which only has an ethernet port). And I was thinking that since the AX is a G device, I'd rather my laptops use the base station as the wireless provider even if I'm closer the AX. Is that possible?
One last question, in setting up WDS, would I set the AX to be a remote or a relay? I'm not sure I know the difference between those two modes.

Setting up a bridge for solaris 10

Hi,
I currently have a dual boot for on my desktop (Solaris 10 and WinXP). I'm currently looking for a way to get online while in solaris, my WinXP install is on a wireless network but it's almost impossible to find wireless drivers for solaris so i'm trying to use my ethernet capabilities.
I bought a wireless print server which has a bridge feature and i'm hoping to find some information on how to setup a bridge on my solaris install.
Any help or direction will help me a lot since I'm very new to solaris. Thank you in advanced.

I have a similar issue but have not been able to get this solution to work.
I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n that is set up in bridge mode and connected to a DSL modem that assigns IP addresses.
I wish to use a remote Airport Express (late 2008) 802.11n to connect via ethernet to a PowerMac without wireless.
In summary I desire: DSL-ethernet-AirportExtreme-wireless-AirportExpress-ethernet-PowerMac
I have reset the Airport Express to factory defaults and then set to "Join wireless network" and checked allow Ethernet clients. The Airport Express gets an IP address but any number of Macs I have tried will not get an IP address in DHCP mode (except a self-assigned one). I have verified that the cable works: when I connect the Macs to the Airport Extreme base station, they all get an IP address. All versions of firmware are 7.4.1. I have also tried checking and unchecking "Allow this network to be extended" on the Airport Extreme.
Please help. Thanks

Web based authentication for wired client, Crendentials submission failure.

Hi,
I am trying to set up the functionnality "cisco web based authentication" for the wired clients.
The problem i encountered is that my switch doesnt forward the client's password to the ACS.
When the user validate his credentials on the login page only the login seems to be forwarded.
The result of the command "show ip admission cache" always show the client in the init state.(i use the default cisco web login page).
the connection between aaa servers and the switch is working.
You will find in attachements the running-config and the debug file.
Thanks for your help, any ideas are welcome :) (its t os version c3750e-ipbasek9-mz.150-2.SE7).

Well i took a look on your documents but i didnt find anything that helped me ;S.
I'm still stucked on the same step.

DHCP stopped working for wired clients (possibly due to new Windows 8 machine on network?)

My home office network has always been rock solid but has suddenly stopped allocating DHCP addresses to wired clients (wireless still works). The only thing that has changed has been the introduction of 2 Windows 8.1 laptops for my children over Christmas, and I wonder if these are the cause?
My network set-up is as follows...
I have a fibre broadband connection into the home office which plugs into my Airport Extremes WAN port. I then have a single ethernet cable going from one of the LAN ports on the AE to a gigabit ethernet hub, into which I have 10+ machines. The AE is set to use PPPoE to get the net connection and the network setting is to use DHCP to sign addresses. The IP addresses are assigned to the wired clients, plus a couple of airport expresses, and a number of iPhones, iPads etc. This has all worked fine for a couple of years, and any device just gets an address and works.
At Christmas both my children got Windows 8 laptops (don't ask!). I connected them to the wifi network (served by the Airport Extreme) and they got assigned an IP address correctly. They can browse fine, and also auto-updated to 8.1 at the same time.
I wasn't working in the home office at that time but did notice a few things not connecting and when I did check, none of the wired devices was receiving an IP address. They all come up as self-assigned. Nothing has changed on the network itself, the cables are still plugged in (the machines haven't moved!). I think somewhere on the network a second DHCP server is running, but I cannot see where. The only new thing are the Windows 8 laptops. Could they be the problem?

I've managed to spend some time testing and here is what I found out.
Before doing anything I turned off the two PC laptops to make sure they were not available
I powered down the Airport Extreme and disconnected the ethernet cable in the LAN port
I powered on the Airport Extreme
I then connected my laptop (running 10.10) via a single ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports. The laptop had wifi off.
I checked the network control panel, and I had a valid IP address via DHCP. I checked a couple of websites and was able to view them.
I then unplugged the ethernet cable from my laptop and plugged it into my ethernet switch (keeping the there end in the same LAN port on the AE). No machine on the network was able to get an IP address via DHCP, they all came up self-assigned.
I then unplugged the ethernet cable from the AE LAN port. I unplugged one of the cables from the switch that goes to a second switch on the network and plugged that into the same AE LAN port. All the machines connected to that switch came up self-assigned and won't get an IP address via DHCP.
In summary, if a single machine is wired to the AE it gets a valid IP address via DHCP. If multiple machines are connected they don't.
With the Windows machines turned off, I now thinking they might not be the cause. BUT nothing has changed on the network to make this happen.

Can WLC's built-in DHCP provide IP addresses for wired client?

Hi,
We've got a WLC running on 7.0.98.0. It's providing IP addresses for the Guest Wireless users. Now we'd like to put a couple of wired workstations for those customers who don't bring laptops. I'm wondering if I put these workstations on the same guest wireless vlan, they can still get IPs from the WLC. If not, I have set static IPs on these workstations.
Thanks in advance.
Robert

Rob:
The answer is simply "No". WLC can not provide wired clients on same wireless VLAN with IP addresses if the DHCP is configured on WLC.
The case metnioned by fbarboza above is a "very" special configuraiton on WLANs where the WLC is configured to take care of some wired clients and it needs you to have two WLCs (The featured is called wired guest).This special case does not apply at your situation.
With your situation my answer above applies.
Note A internal DHCP server pool will only serve the wireless clients of that controller, not clients of other controllers. Also, internal DHCP server can only serve wireless clients and not wired clients.

Setting Up Certificate Validation for Jabber clients

Hi:
I would like to get certificates signed from private internal CA for Jabber clients. Cisco documentation says it requires HTTP/Tomcat for CUPS, HTTP/Tomcat for CUCM and UCXN[8.6].
The exiting Tomcat certificate has these two files: tomcat.pem, tomcat.der and a bunch of tomcat-trust certificates as well with associated files.
My question is is there any harm in generating a new tomcat certifcate or could I just generate CSR's for the two existing Tomcat files to be signed? When you generate a new Tomcat certificate does it create or overwrite the .pem and .der? I don't want to break anything in this process so looking for some feedback.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_2_5/JABW_BK_CAAD3F25_00_cisco-jabber-for-windows-release-notes/JABW_BK_CAAD3F25_00_cisco-jabber-for-windows-release-notes_chapter_011.html

Generating a CSR for the Tomcat certificate and installing the signed certificate will replace the .pem/.der file you see listed. Once you sign the CSR and upload the final certificate, you'll need to restart Cisco Tomcat from the CLI for it to pickup the new cert. Anything that is in a -trust store is something that server will accept during a TLS/SSL handshake, not something it uses itself.

Can Time Capsule Function as an Internet Router for Wired Clients?

I have a 1st Generation Time Capsule with three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. Currently the Time Capsule is connected to a 12-year old Linksys router which connects with my DSL modem and functions as the router for the Time Capsule and several other wired devices connected to the Linksys Ethernet ports.
Can I get rid of the Linksys and use the Time Capsule as the Internet gateway and router for the whole network? All the documentation I've been able to find seems ambiguous. For example, a knowledge base article, "Airport Utility 6.x: Connect to the Internet using PPPoE" (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5099) says "...Time Capsule...uses DHCP and NAT to share that IP connection with computers on your wireless network. (emphasis mine).
If I can use the Time Capsule as a wired router, and I want to connect more than three wired devices, can I connect them to the Time Capsule via an Ethernet switch?
Thanks for your help!

The Time Capsule is both a wired and wireless router, so it can connect to a modem and function as the main router for the network.
If you do not need the wireless function of the Time Capsule, the wireless radio can be turned off manually once the device has been configured. If you need more Ethernet connections, a 5-port, 8-port, 16-port etc. Ethernet switch can be connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
If your Linksy is currently configured to connect using PPPoE settings, then the Time Capsule will need to be setup to provide those settings in order to connect to the Internet. Most DSL providers require a user name and password to establish the PPPoE service.

DAP rule for IPSec clients

I'm setting up DAP rules for AnyConnect clients. When I set the default policy to terminate, I get the right results from AnyConnect connections, but all IPSec clients cannont connect. I know I need to set up a DAP rule for IPSec clients to allow them through, but can't remember how to set that up.

Ok, that worked. Follow-up question though. So the only thing I'm looking at doing right now is setting up a policy to look at Anti-virus and disallow if the signature is more than a week old. Works fine with the AnyConnect. But if I add that to the IPSec rule (app = ipsec and av exists (< 7 days), it won't let the IPSec client connect at all. I seem to recall something about if we're doing posturing with IPSec client, we have to use endpoint assesment or pre-login policy? Is that the case; it would be nice to do it all w/in one DAP rule.
Thanks

Home directories for Linux clients?

Hello,
I want to setup OS X Server to serve as an authentication server for Mac-, Windows- and Linux-clients. I have the services DHCP, DNS, OpenDirectory (as Open Directory Master) and Windows (as PDC) running.
So far there is no problem to login on the three different platforms via LDAP. In WGM I set the home directory for Mac-clients and activated the virtual homes feature for windows. On both clients I get the network home functional but on the linux client the home does not appear.
How do I configure the server to realize that? I thought that the linux clients would use the samba share that the windows clients use.
iMac G5 (iSight) 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

When you log in to the linux machine, do you get an error that states that the home directory for the user cannot be found? That error message should give you the path that is set in the LDAP directory as the home directory for that user. This directory needs to be added to the Linux filesystem, and then the Users folder on the OS X Server needs to be NFS mounted (rw) on the Linux machine.
For ease of transition, I softlink /home to this directory on the Linux machines.

Bridge does not work for wireless clients - connecting to existing network.

Hi - I really hope somebody can help out here, after hours of trial & error, I have finally given up
I need to connect my Airport Extreme Base Station to my existing network. I have a linksys router (192.168.15.1) connected to my modem and this linksys router acts as DHCP server too.
I suppose I have to use "bridge mode" for that to work. But should the linksys be connected to the AEBS using the AEBS's WAN or LAN port?
If I use "bridge mode", then wired computers to the AEBS works fine - getting an IP from the linksys etc. BUT, the wireless clients will have a self-assigned IP and not get through to the internet. It's like the AEBS will not allow wireless clients to "get through" unless AEBS itself is handing out IP addresses.
Page 36 of this manual ( http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf ) shows the setup I want. But in the picture, it says "Ethernet WAN port" but the text says: "The Apple wireless device (in this example, a Time Capsule) uses your Ethernet network to communicate with the Internet through the Ethernet LAN port ( <--> )." I don't know which one to use, WAN or LAN - they show WAN but say LAN?
When I set it up as "share an IP address", the AEBS status tells me "double nat" and to change from "shared IP" to "bridge mode". I do that, and everything seems fine - for the wired clients. Now the wireless clients cannot connect, Airport on the MacBook Pro just say "Connection failed" and the MacBook says "Invalid password" (translated from danish), even though I set the Airport Utlity to save the password in keyring, so it should be correct... If I disable wireless encryption, the wireless clients will connect but get a self-assigned IP, and therefor not work (cannot get online)...
It seems the only way I can get wireless to work, is if I set AEBS up as DHCP, but then it won't be on the "same network" as the linksys (192.168.15.1), but rather on 10.0.x.x as I select. If I select 192.168.x.x within AEBS, I'm also getting some error messages, conflict/subnet thing.
Anyway - I really hope somebody knows how to get wireless clients to get an IP address from existing ethernet when connected to the AEBS.
Thanks!!

I've given up and had to go back to running "Double NAT" which also reports as a "problem" within the AEBS, but I just "ignore" it so the light will always be green.
It still ***** though, as "Double NAT" is also a reason for "Back to my Mac" not working properly, but how the ** am I supposed to avoid Double NAT when the wireless will not work in bridged mode?!

Setting up Bridge for multiple users on a network

New Bridge user here
Can anyone give me some advice on how to set up Bridge for use by multiple users over a network / server?
We have a large image bank stored on a server and ideally if any one user adds keywords or other metadata to an image I would like the rest of the users to be able to view that data and be able to use it in searches. AS more than one user could add keywords at any time I was wondering is it possible to set up a central keyword file or cache so any updates are available to all users.
Do I set up a shared cache? What happens if it becomes corrupted and has to be rebuilt, do the keywords disappear as well?
Are the keywords associated with that particular cache or are they stored in a separate file?
Thanks,
Hazel

Curt
how do you know if your using the
Central cache all distributed cache ?
and are they both stored in the same place ?

Setting up Outlook 2010 as email client for Verizon Yahoo email fails

Using my recently obtained Windows 8 64 bit, I have not been able to get Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer Share File Attachments or Photo Mail to work. From what I have read, Windows 8 has a problem with POP servers. But I suspect that what we are encountering goes beyond that.
At the onset, my only choice was Adobe Email Services for the Email client. After I installed Windows Live Mail 2011, I then had the choice for EMail Client of Windows Live Mail 2011 as well as Adobe Email client but neither solved the problem of no email generated.
a. For Adobe Email Service, used three different email addresses, got valid verification codes for each, was told by the program that I was good to email, yet after the email was prepared, no email with send button was generated for emailing.
b. I have looked at the system with two different anti-virus program...first McAfee and then Windows Defender.
c. I have changed the send to email addresses.
d. I have had no better luck using Windows 8 built in Mail app. In fact, my lack of success with the Photoshop Elements Photo mail feature and the Windows 8 built in Mail app was the reason for my looking for alternatives.
On a comparative note, when I use Photoshop Elements 11 in Windows 7 64 bit, I have the same problem with Adobe Email Service as the Email client. However, if Windows Live Mail 2011 is the Email client, no problems..email generated and sent successfully.
So based on my result, I would say that the answer to your question
"Is there some kind of issue between Adobe organizer and Windows 8?"
is Yes.
If Photoshop Elements 11 support says there should be no problem with this feature in Windows 8, then I would also be interested in knowing the details of its use of the feature to get the expected Photo Mail and File Attachment results.

Establish a connection through RF modem's on client & server side & to set up PPP communication for data transfer

hi
can any1 over here help me out in how to establish connection between 2 RF modem's for data transfer , between client & server USing LABVIEW?
I want to establish a connection between 2 PC's through RF modem on client & server side & to set up PPP communication for data transfer.
(I have tried data transfer through RS-232 using TCP/IP whn the 2 PC's are connected over ethernet... which is working.
I also tried connecting loopback cable between 2 PC's COM port & geting data transfer using VIsa configure serial port & other visa functions ... which is working)
can u guide me how to establish connection between 2 RF modem's using LABview?
& how does the data transfer take place between 2 RF modems through RS-232?
is it using TCP/IP?
If you got any links to go abt this issue do send me related links .. or any examples .....
I am currently using Labview version 8.
Waiting in anticipation.. reply ASAP..
thanking you
Regards
Yogan..

Howdy yogan,
Maybe you could clarify a few things for me, and we'll see how we can help ya. TCP/IP protocol occurs through an ethernet connection; RS-232 communication occurs through an RS-232 serial connection, typically through a cable that has a DB9 connector on both ends. Do you mean that the RF modems in question have the option to communicate via RS-232 and/or via TCP/IP ethernet? Specific information like the manufacturer of your RF modems, the model number of your RF modems, and how you connect the modems to the PC would enable us to give you more efficient support.
You can check our Instrument Driver Network (IDNet) to see if a plug-and-play/IVI driver already exists for your RF modem. (You'll need to know its manufacturer and model number.) In the case that you do find an IDNet driver for your modem, you can use this KnowledgeBase article for instructions on how to use the driver.
Another excellent resource to consider is the NI Example Finder. You can access this within LabVIEW by navigating to Help»Find Examples and then searching for serial or TCP/IP examples.

NLS_LANG setting for a client with multiple Oracle servers

Hello!
We have a web application which has to connect to one of the Oracle servers with different charactersets. When the NLS_LANG on the client is a single byte encoding and the server has a single byte encoding there are no problems. We have now a server with NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 and all special (hungarian accented) character are replaced.
When we set the client to UTF8 the rest of servers does not work.
What is the solution for one client and multiple servers with different encoding?
Is there a special key in connection string?
I tried to change the nls_lang with an alter session statement but without success.
Regards,
emeriqus

NLS_LANG is not depending on the database side, it's a CLIENT setting to "let Oracle know what encoding is used on the CLIENT" so that Oracle can do the conversion from the client encoding to the database (NLS_CHARACTERSET) encoding.
for ONE application/client the is only ONE correct NLS_LANG value, regardless of the database NLS_CHARACTERSET
If you web application is really an UTF8 application (check with your vendor) then you can perfectly use a UTF8 client setting and a 8 bit database
Of course, you will be limited to the database side in this case seen the 8 bit characterset does not know all the characters in UTF8
The fact that setting the NLS_LANG to UTF8 "does not work" with your web application is simply the fact your application is not a UTF8 env.
Setting nls_lang to UTF8 will not "magically" make your application UTF8, NLS_LANG is depending on the encoding used in the web server.
But the first thing to ask yourself is if CURRENT data is correctly in the Oracle database.
use SQLdeveloper to check the data, this is a "know good client" that needs no NLS configuration.
You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/
If the data is displayed correctly in SQLdeveloper then you are sure it's correct in the database.
If data is WRONG in the database then that needs to be corrected first, "trying" different client side configurations will only make matter worse (even if they make the data "look good" )

Gunther
