[Windows] list MAC addresses of ethernet-connected devices to AEBS?

I have an ethernet connected device (among others) that is running headless, so I need to create a static IP ("DHCP Reservation") based on the MAC address to SSH into the device.
This device is connected to my AEBS with an ethernet cable, and I cannot figure out where in the Airport Utility app lists MAC addresses connected by ethernet. This is very easy if it were a wirelessly connected device but it appears the Airport Utility -> Advanced -> Logging and Statistics tab -> "Logs and Statistics" only holds information of wirelessly connected devices.
I am connecting to my AEBS with the most updated Airport Utility for Windows v5.6.1
So, where do you find the MAC addresses listed of ethernet-connected devices using Windows Airport Utility?

but it appears the Airport Utility -> Advanced -> Logging and Statistics tab -> "Logs and Statistics" only holds information of wirelessly connected devices.
That would be true if the AEBS is configured in Bridge Mode.  In this case, another device....you likely call this your modem....is providing DHCP information to all connected devices. That is the device where you need to locate MAC Addresses and set up Static IP addresses.....not the AEBS.
If your AirPort Extreme is in charge of providing DHCP services, then the window in Airport Utility will have a DHCP tab, which will display all of this information for both wired and wireless devices.  If you don't see a DHCP tab....this is yet another confirmation that the AEBS is in Bridge Mode.

  • WES610N - only one MAC address for all connected devices

    Hi! I use a WES610N 4-port WLAN bridge to connect my audio and video devices (Pioneer AV receiver, Samsung TV set and a WD Live TV box) to my E4200 router upstairs. This works fine and the WLAN connection works stable and fast. There's a Synology 212j NAS running DM 3.2 connected to my E4200 router. On this NAS a DLNA/UPnP media server is running to stream audio and video from the NAS to my Receiver, to my TV set and to the WD Live TV box. Audio and video is ok but i also want to send photos from the NAS direct to the TV and WD Live. To see the photos in the correct solution i have to configure a DLNA profile on the media server for each DLNA client which connects to the media server. I have to configute this based on the device name, IP address and MAC address shown in the clinet list of the media server. So far so good - and here's my problem: Every device connected to the WES610N is seen with the same MAC address - the one of the WES610 - by the media server. This confuses the server and it's not possible to assign a DLNA profile to each of the devices (TV, Receiver, WD box) because the IP - MAC pairing always changes when one of the devices sends data packets to the media server. So the assigned profile configuration gets lost and switches back to standard DLNA profile and photos can not be displayed correct by the devices. So what i would need is that every device connected to the WES610N is seen by the media server by it's on MAC address. Is there a solution or are there plans to implement this in future firmware versions? Thx, BR Christian

    You can try the following combination of settings :-
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
    4] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
    Then check the connectivity status...

  • Macbook/mac mini can ethernet connected[crossover] with another PC-windows?

    macbook / mac mini can ethernet connected crossover with another PC - windows like Sony VAIO laptop VGN-A297XP CEZ ? If yes can share all services like pc-pc connection ? IF Ethernet speed is 100/1000 for this laptop what is connection speed mac-pc ?

    If you temporarily connect the Mac Mini server to the Time Capsule (TC) by Ethernet, can it gain Internet access now? Is the Mac Mini in the same room, different room/floor from the TC?

  • Ethernet-connected Devices and DHCP

    Hi!
    I have an ethernet-connected device (http://www.avid.com/US/products/artist-mix) which I'm having some issues with. I currently have it plugged into the primary ethernet port on my Mac Pro, with the LAN connected to the secondary ethernet port.
    Some suggestions have been to assign it a static IP to the device to avoid conflicts. Which leads me to my question:
    If the device is connected via ethernet to my Mac, is it assigned an IP address via DHCP like a device connected directly to the LAN does? Or would it remain separate from the network? If connecting it to my Mac does indeed attach it to the network via DHCP, then I will get on assigning a static IP for it.
    I realise this isn't really a Mac Pro based question, but I know there are people in this forum who can help me.
    Many thanks for any help in advance,
    Steve

    So I have the modem/router in DHCP/NAT mode, and Airport Extreme in Bridged mode.
    This would be the simplest, correct way to configure your network.
    Unless you need some special feature from the AirPort Extreme....that would require that the AirPort Extreme handle DHCP and NAT service.....like the Guest Network feature......then it would probably be best to keep things simple and leave them "as is" on your network.
    Either the modem needs to be in Bridge Mode and the AirPort Extreme handles DHCP and NAT.....or.....the modem/router handles DHCP and NAT and the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
    it does not really matter which device handles DHCP and NAT as long as your feature requirements are being met on the network.
    Personally, I strongly prefer to use a simple modem....not a modem/router....and another separate router to control the network. But, your ISP may not offer that option.

  • E4200 v2 - Uses multiple MAC addresses for the same device

    This unit seems pretty good at first but on looking at the Web interface I noticed that it was using multiple mac addresses for the same device and showing devices on the lan on the Wireless side and other odd things.
    After a week of running it the home server network started to get erratic, it would seem to all point to dns and dhcp issues in the router.
    Seems the V1 had the same issues that they did not fix on this.
    The Cisco connect software shows 5 devices the Web based utility shows 3??.
    Its pretty bad that they charge nearly $200 and cannot be bothered to finish the unit or address the issues that were in V1.

    I am afraid I didn't get the clear picture of the issue mentioned in the post. Could you please elaborate a little bit? If you connect a device/computer wired and then later you connect it wirelessly. It is obvious that you would get to see two different MAC addresses for the same device, one for the LAN adaptor and other one for WLAN adaptor. If that is what you are referring to?
    Secondly, may I  know, what issues did you face with DNS and DHCP in the router? Is it not able to resolve the DNS or something else or DHCP is not sending IP address to the clients?

  • Is official to retrieve wifi MAC Address of an iphone device?

    Is official to retrieve wifi MAC Address of an iphone device?
    If yes, which framework to use?
    Thanks.

    Yep......my daughters are 30 and 27.  So anytime they visit with a new mobile gizmo I need to enter the mac address in my router.
    When we have guests (brothers, friends etc) they all have phones or laptops etc. so I need to enter their macs.  If I forget about the mac filter I go a little nuts trying to figure out why they can't connect to my network.
    Clearly......I need to take your advice and turn broadcast back on and disable the mac filter......which I did about 20 minutes ago.
    Even though my girls are long long past the little girl stage I am still looking forward to the looks on their faces when they open these things on Christmas morning!! 
    Thanks to everyone for your advice

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

  • Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

    Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

    Yes, if the AirPort Extreme is joining a wireless network that has been created by another Apple router. In this case, it will be extending the wireless network and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the "remote" AirPort Extreme.
    No, if the AirPort Extreme will be used with another router from another manfacturer.
    Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express can do what you ask about with virtually any wireless network using a special feature called ProxySTA. It won't extend the wireless with a non-Apple router, but the Ethernet port will be enabled.

  • Receiving an error message when connecting to internet saying: windows cannot find "address" but it connects anyway???

    The error message that appears when trying to access internet says that windows cannot find "address" and asks to make sure it was typed in correctly. It continues to connect but is a hassle to deal with the error message each time. Any suggestions?

    What is the ip address you are getting on the Vista Computer..?
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Wireless Network Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
    If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
    Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Wireless Network Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

  • How i can change MAC-address of ethernet?

    in the tiger i just was typing "sudo ifconfig en0 lladdr (or ether) 00:0c:76:18:25:ac" but in leopard that doesn't work.
    Programms like MacDaddy X and ChangeMAC doesn't work too.
    I dunno what i must do, please help.
    how it works in leopard?
    Message was edited by: Flamesix

    i'm having the same problem (and because of that i claim Apple did really forgot the 'Computers' part when they changed their name, i had to install Leopard just to see i cant change the mac thus connect to my lan, thus i had to install tiger back, grr)
    in another thread i've found this alternative to en0 ether xx:xx... :
    sudo ifconfig en0 lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00
    but i remember trying it without success, anyone has a clue how to change the MAC address in leopard? on top of it - why on earth would they downgrade a system? is this one of these 300 new features? sweet :P

  • [Tentatively-Fixed] fixed MAC address for ethernet bonding?

    EDIT: See my findings, below.
    Hallo all,
    Been doing a bit of research but turned up a blank.
    I have standard NIC bonding (teaming if you will..) enabled as per the wiki.
    My question is thus: sometimes eth0's MAC address will be used and sometimes
    eth1's will be used. This really screws with the way I give it a static address in my
    firewall (pfsense).
    Is there any way to force bond0 (my bonded interface) to use a SPECIFIC mac address?
    I know I could set a static IP but I prefer the administrative ease of being able to allocate
    IP's from a central source.
    Thanks!
    Mike.

    Edit: This seems to have solved the problem, but as it is intermitent I cant be 100% sure. Can anyone else confirm this?
    It seems this might be useful to others since this MAC problem is in theory applicable to anyone who uses bonding.
    Inspired from this website http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/ … 6/net.html
    I am going to try the following, will report back (if I still can haha!)
    /etc/rc.d/network
    bond_up()
    #KEYWORD
    /sbin/ifconfig bond0 hw ether 00:02:b3:3c:50:bf || error=1
    for ifline in ${BOND_INTERFACES[@]}; do
    if [ "$ifline" = "${ifline#!}" ]; then
    eval bondcfg="\$bond_${ifline}"
    if [ -n "${bondcfg}" ]; then
    /sbin/ifenslave $ifline $bondcfg || error=1
    fi
    fi
    done
    and in /etc/rc.local to fix my DHCP timeout issues
    #!/bin/bash
    # /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.
    dhcpcd -k bond0
    dhcpcd -nd bond0
