Setting up mac addresses

airport utillity setting up access with mac addresses
first line shows default ............... unlimited
do i use no access in edit to keep out unwanted mac addresses ? and then proceed to list the ones i want ?

You are supposed to be able to select "Local" in addition to "Not Enabled", "Timed Access" and "RADIUS". Using Local will enable you to set which MAC addresses have access to your Time Capsule, but for the life of me I couldn't find the Local option...

Set up MAC Address Filtering on WRT54G - now nothing connects

I set up MAC address filtering on the wireless router. Added 5 MAC addresses to the PERMITTED list, by selecting them from the available devices. Saved the changes. Now, none of the machines can connect to the access point. That includes the PC I use to log in and administer the access point. I connected the network cable directly to my PC to manage the router/access point. Still not able to connect. What happened? How do I get back in and turn that nonsense off. I know MAC Filtering is questionable wrt effectiveness, but I decide to try it.
Solved!

Reset the router back to defaults. Reconfigure it from scratch.

Is possible to set you MAC address on a zone?

Hello,
On our Solaris 10 servers we have shared NIC interfaces. We have a program that is having issues talking to the all zones because they have the same MAC address.
Is there a way with zonecfg or ifconfig to change the MAC on the zones?
Other wise we need to rewire the servers and I don't know if we have enough NICs for all the zones.
Thanks for any input you can give.

Shared stack does not allow the MAC address to be changed per zone. As someone else suggested, Solaris 11 greatly improves things because a single physical NIC can be used for multiple exclusive stack zones.
You may want to consider running Solaris 11 on these servers. If some or all of your zones need to continue to be on Solaris 10, you could then use Oracle Solaris 10 Zones (i.e. solaris10 branded zones) on Solaris 11. If you have a box running Solaris 11, you can try out Solaris 10 Zones with:
pkg install brand-solaris10
zonecfg -z s10zone 'create; set zonepath=/zones/s10zone'
zoneadm -z s10zone install -p -a /path/to/archive
Instructions for creating the archive can be found at:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E29024/gjroc.html#scrolltoc
The configuration that results from the zonecfg command above uses exclusive stack with one anet resource. The anet resource allows you to change the MAC address, limit which IP address(es) are used by the dedicated stack, automatically configure the IP address, etc.
Note that Solaris 11.1 just came out. If you are installing Solaris 11 for the first time, best to start with Solaris 11.1. If you have Solaris 11.0 (aka Solaris 11 11/11) I'd suggest updating to at least 11.0 SRU2 before doing a lot with zones.

Setting up .mac addresses in iWeb sites

My .mac site (www.chaibabyusa.com) has been setup and published on iWeb '08 in .Mac.
I would like to have email addresses setup ([email protected]) so that an email could be forwarded to an external site (@gail.com, for example).
Thank you in advance for your assistance. BTW, if you like tea or tea products you may want to visit the site..
Raj

I spoke to the internet provider (1&1) and they told me that since the website wasa forwarded cname, the email was similarly forwarded. is this not the case?
I think that is only true if you do the CNAME forwarding the wrong way. Read this link:

Setting MAC-address on wireless Intel 2200 BG card

I have a wireless Intel 2200 BG card in my laptop. I have installed the ipw2200-package, and it appears to be working. The module ipw2200 loads just fine and iwconfig gives me this:
eth1 radio off ESSID:off/any
Mode:Ad-Hoc Channel:0 Cell: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=off
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
However, i have not been able to set the MAC-address. I am at my parrents house, and their ISP have enabled a MAC-filter on the wireless router. So i can't access the router with my wireless card.
if i do a "ifconfig eth1", i can see that the MAC-address of the card is 00:0E:35:FE:2D:1A
Then i do:
ifconfig eth1 hw ether 00:50:BF:9C:D7:A5
I do not get any error-messages, but when i do a "ifconfig eth1", the MAC-address is still 00:0E:35:FE:2D:1A
Any suggestions on how i can set the MAC-address of my card?

It isn't my router, it is owned by our ISP. They might give me the username/password if i ask, but i thought setting the MAC-address on my card would be an easy thing to do. I have done it on my wired ethernet card, so i am using that one right now. But wireless would be more fun.

Add MAC Address to Time Capsule?

Hey everybody--
I have a MacBook Pro that connects to the Internet via a Time Capsule that is hooked up to a cable modem. I recently bought a Blu-Ray player that has a LAN port (no wireless), but it is miles away from the Time Capsule.
I would like to share my MacBook Pro's wireless Internet connection by connecting an ethernet cable between the Blu-Ray player and the MacBook Pro. I turned on Internet Sharing and selected share Airport with computers using ethernet. I tested it out by seeing if my wife's MacBook could share the connection and it worked like a charm. (I turned off her Airport card and her computer accessed the Internet via an ethernet cable between our two computers.)
Alas, the Blu-Ray player can't seem to share the connection.
The Blu-Ray player uses DHCP but tt appears to receive a self-assigned IP address.
The player manual says that if the connection fails "it may be necessary to set the MAC address of the unit at the router side."
Does anyone know what this statement could mean? Can I add a device somehow to the Time Capsule. Any other thoughts on ways to make this work?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I found this how-to on the Web. I'm not too saavy with terminal, so these things always make me a bit nervous. Anyone have any concerns about following these steps to see if it works?
The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.
Start Internet Sharing if it's not already running.
In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist
Stop Internet Sharing.
Open /tmp/bootpd.plist for editing using TextEdit or whatever.
Locate this section of the file, near the end:
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Change the value 4 to 0.
In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc
Start Internet Sharing.
If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn't been reverted.

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.

Missing MAC addresses filtering in Linksys E2500 config

Hi,
I'm currently setting the MAC address filtering for my Linksys E2500 router.
I have about 20 devices which i'm allowing to access my router, so i keyed in the MAC addresses into the config page and save setting.
But only 16 addresses are registered, the rest refused to register no matter how many times i key in, it just reset back to 00:00:00:00:00:00 after i click on save setting.
Please help.
Thank you.

I am having exactly the same problem with the same device (E2500; Firmware Version 1.0.01).
For the first several days (less than a week after I upgraded from excellent by every measure WRT54GL) E2500 worked fine with twenty one MAC addresses in the list.
Yesterday I tried to add a twenty second MAC address, and the list went down to 16 items (the rest being zeroes) .
Now I am limited to 16 addresses in the list.
It looks like a firmware bug to me.

Collecting bulk IPad MAC addresses

HI all-
I work at a school that has a few hundred IPads, and i want to set up MAC Address filtering on the network. Is there a way to collect all the serial numbers and MAC addresses from the master MacBook? I really do not want to have to manually collect them from each IPad manually.
Thanks for any help!!

As far as I can tell, since I too wanted this information, Apple Configurator is not storing it. All of the Apple Configurator state (for users, apps, and in this particular case of interest, devices) are stored in two SQLIte databases. As the currently running user of Apple Configurator (it depends how you use it), they are in:
~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator/AppleConfigurator.storedata
~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator/Users.storedata
The names should be self-explanatory, but more or less the latter is blank for me, probably because I do not set users for the iPads we loan out in our organization and deployment model, so there is nothing to correlate to my empty user list. However, if you look in AppleConfigurator.storedata, you will find a table called ZDEVICERECORD with the following columns:
Z_PK
Z_ENT
Z_OPT
ZNAME
ZSERIALNUMBER
ZUDID
As you can tell, the only two columns of value to us Administrators are something we could already determine without look at the internals: the device's serial number and the Unique Device ID which is tied to a specific installation of iOS on an iPad or iPhone. I have seen mention that turning iTunes into Activation Only mode will help, but I call shennanigans. But when I have some iPads back I will try this and see if that data is stored. I am skeptical.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Set Static IP address on Mac clients

Hi,
I'm trying to change the IP address on a mac client at startup time to a different value and to be Static type. I need to do it via the command line. I've researched and found out that 'networksetup -setmanual ...' and 'ipconfig set en0 MANUAL ...' would do it, but the 'networksetup' command is not available unless I have ARD installed and 'ipconfig' is not recommended for use other than testing and debug.
Another option I was looking at is editing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist and then doing 'changeip ...' command.
Do you know if there are any other commands that will allow me to change an ip address via the command line, set it to Static/Manual and preferably do it without a reboot?
Thank you

Hi Sergey,
when I use static IP in my jwc_properties.ini it is never picked up, it still uses DHCP. The part where I have configured IP looks like this:
# Whether static configuration or DHCP server is used do get IP address. Possible values: dhcp,static
ip.method = static
# IP address,used with static IP configuration only
ip.addr = 10.143.144.97
# Network mask,used with static IP configuration only
ip.netmask = 255.255.252.0
# Network gateway,used with static IP configuration only
ip.gateway = 10.143.144.1
# DNS server,used with static IP configuration only
ip.dns =
# MAC address
mac.addr =

MAC Address Filtering and SPI set up

Hi,
I just purchased a WRT54GS V 6 wireless router. I updated the firmware to the latest (May 30) and the set up seems to be OK. Using the security recommendations in the manual as a guide, I implemented them - the turn off SSID, and the others.
IF I try to filter the MAC addresses (accept only those on the list) for my wife's Sony VAIO VGN - S260 laptop, it can see the network but will not connect. When I turn off the MAC filtering, it is fine. I used the WPA2 personal encryption, and input the passphrase into both router and computer.
My other issue is the firewall Statefull Packet Inspection (SPI). On the Security set up screen, firewall tab - I have the four radio button settings that I am supposed to (Block WAN request, filter Multicast, Filter NAT, & Filter IDENT), however, I do NOT have the option to turn on the firewall (SPI) above the 4 radio buttons - that setting is totally missing from the set up screen. Reference Page 28 of the manual.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions, as I could not find any ideas searching the forum. Thanks for your help

you can try and change a few wireless settings ....in the routers wireless section....go to the advanced wireless settings.....here you can reduce the beacon interval to 50...also reduce the RTS and Fragmentation by 40 each.....

How do I set timed access for specific mac addresses?

My daughter tends to stay up late on social media long after we've asked her to go to bed, so I'd like to use the AirPort Utility to just shut off her internet access during set hours. It looks fairly straightforward to set up, however, I don't know how to find her MAC address for her iPod. Can anyone enlighten me?

iPods, IPhones, and iPads do not have a MAC Address.
On the iPod home screen, tap Settings
Scroll down and tap General
Tap About
Scroll down to locate the Wi-Fi Address
Use the WiFi Address of an iPod, iPhone, or iPad in place of the MAC Address when you are setting up rules in Timed Access.
