Wireless Guest Network, iPADS and MAC Filteing

Hello, I have a question regarding our wireless guest network and using iPADs
Our wireless network consist of (3) 5508 WLC’s running 6.0.188. 2 internal WLC and 1 external anchor WLC for guest. Presently we are only using one of the internal controllers for users the second is only used for fail over. The anchor controller is set up as the DHCP server for guest. We also have a Cisco NAC Guest Server in the DMZ for guest authentication.
We have (10) iPads that need Internet access though our guest portal. We do not want these iPADs to have to enter any credentials just pass through to the internet. We do not want any other device to be able to connect to this SSID. Here’s my question; Getting to the Internet is no problem however when I try to set up a MAC filter just for these devices, they never receive an IP address and never get connected. I have tried setting the filter on both the internal controller and the anchor controller identically and in about every combination I can think of. Does anyone know how to set up a MAC filter on a guest network configured as per Cisco’s recommendation? I also plan to use WPA2 and 802.1x once I get the MAC filter to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
John

Not all layer 2 and layer 3 security mechanisms are compatible. Refer to this doc
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a0080987b7c.shtml#matrix
What security settings have you configured. The settings also need to be identical on both the internal and anchor controller.

E4200: guest networking and MAC filter

Hi there,
I have my e4200 setup with guest networking enabled and also MAC filtering. Somehow i was epxecting MAC filtering not to be applied to guest wireless network but it appears to be so.
Can anybody please confirm if this is the case and if there's a workaround?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are correct. MAC filtering is universal in the router. There is no workaround besides not using it.

TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

WLC for GUEST network hangs and requires restart

I have a remote site customer that is getting support calls saying that guest users cannot login to the wireless "guest" network. When they try to access it, the browser hangs up when trying to load the redirect page.
When they restart the controller, it begins working again. The WLC version is 5.0.148.0. Has anyone seen this issue? If not, what would be the best way to troubleshoot?
Thanks for any help.

5.0.148.0 has a lot of bugs, suggest you to keep on using 4.2.112 at this moment until the maintenance release of version 5 comes out. This is one of its bug: CSCsm98250.
Symptom:
Webauth and controller access via HTTP or telnet/SSH stop working.
Conditions:
After the controller was upgrade to 5.0, ramdomly webauth, and controller access via HTTP or telnet/SSH stop working.
Workaround:
Reboot controller.

Wired + Private Wireless + Guest Networks

I'm attempting to setup a configuration that I don't seem able to get correct. I have a small wired network at my church with a file server and a couple of dozen users, some of which have laptops and would like to be able to roam wirelessly through the building. In addition, I would like to have an unsecured wireless guest network for visitors which provides access to the internet and does not have access to the file server.
The specifics are a wired 192.168.1.xxx network with a NAT'd DSL modem/router. I have 4 Airport Extreme dual radio N devices. I've tried setting the first Airport Extreme unit to shared IP, the only setting that allows me to also use a guest network, with a private SSID handing out 172.0.xxx.xxx addresses and a guest network handing out 10.0.xxx.xxx addresses. It seems logical to me that I would want to used bridged mode to allow my private wireless uses to see the server, but the Airport Extreme tells me I can not use a guest network with that setting.
With this setup, I can not get to my server by name, but I can get to by IP address. I guess that's not a huge problem since I have such a small number of users, I can add the server IP address to a hosts file on each client. What bothers me most is that I can get to the server IP from the guest network as well as the private network. Am I missing something?
My second point of confusion is when I try to configure the other 3 Airport Extremes to extend the network. The configuration tools asks me which wireless network I want to extend, and allows me to choose only the private network OR the guest network. I thought it should be able to extend both networks simultaneously. Am I mistaken on this as well?
I'm certain I've left out plenty of information you may need to assist so please ask, I will gather what ever I can. Thanks in advance.

Hello muellgre. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, Apple does not provide you with very many options when it comes to their Guest network feature. It is basically designed to work with a single AirPort/Time Capsule router in your network configuration.
As you have found out, it will only be available if you have the AirPort configured as a NAT router and not as a bridge. Also you cannot extend a Guest network. I'm actually surprised that you were given this option.
Since you have a DSL gateway upstream of your AirPorts that is performing as your primary Internet router, you would want all of your AirPorts to be configured as bridges. Regardless if you were connecting them all back to the DSL gateway by Ethernet or creating a WDS extended network.
If you go the route of configuring a single Extreme as a router, you will have a Double NAT configuration, which is not bad in itself, but does add some complexity when attempting to share between network segments.
One option would be to reconfigure the DSL gateway as a bridge, and then, configure one of the Extremes as a router to allow it to handle NAT & DHCP services for the network. This will also give you your guest network. You can also extend this Extreme with the others, but not its guest network ... so, overall, this might not satisfy all of your networking requirements.

Wireless Guest Network using Cisco 4402 as an Anchor Controller

Hello,
We have recently redesigned our wireless guest network in accordance to Cisco's recommended deployment using the anchor controller in the DMZ. We have created two mobility groups (enterprise and anchor). The anchor controller and DMZ has two subnets (guest managment and guest clients). The guest management subnet is connected to the controller and firewall allowing the mobility groups and EOIP tunnels while the guest client network is also connected to the controller and firewall to push the client traffic directly out the firewall. The setup works well but the one part that I'm not happy with is the DHCP. Currently DHCP is being handled on the firewall because of issues we had with dhcp relay and the controllers internal dhcp service.
Does anyone have any information on getting DHCP relay working or the internal dhcp service on the controllers when using as a anchor?
This is basically the setup guide that we followed.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Mobility/emob41dg/ch10GuAc.html
Thanks!

Hi,
Make sure you have the IP helper address configured under the VLAN interface on the L3 and also make sure to disable DHCP proxy on both the WLC (Anchor and Foreign).
This will help us as well..
lemme know if this answered your question..

the only way that anyone would be able to see anything at all on your phone is if they knew your apple id password, or they were looking over your shoulder
if you are concerned that someone may know your apple id password, please change it at appleid.apple.com

My iPhone was set to the wrong ICloud account; how can i reset it so it is on the same one as my iPad and MAC?

My new iPhone was mistakenly setup with a new account diferent from theone on my iPad and MAC, iTunes and Mobile Me. I finally got Lion and moved my MobileMe to iCloud. I then found out this mistake when my iPhone was not synching with my iPad and MAC. the onloy way I can see to fix this is reset the account my iPhone iCloud if set to, but see not way to do that or any instruction to do this resetting. Does anyone know how to do this?

Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

Ipad and mac not syncing with icloud

I am unable to sync my photos and contacts from my ipad with my Mac through icloud. The ipad and mac both have the latest update.

For icloud email on your device, you must have icloud turned on, but also have the Mail app set up to connect to icloud. In Settings>Mail, Contacts,... look in the Mail section under Accounts. You must set up your icloud email account there in order to use the Mail app to read and send emails.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

I have itunes on my desktop (non-apple) and iPhone. My fiance' has iPhone, iPad and Mac (all which I bought her). We'd like to share music on our devices. How do we do that?

Sync reading location pdf file on ipad and mac

Is there anyway to keep the reading location sync'd between an ipad and a mac with a pdf file?
I have the pdf file in the ibook library that is sync'd between my ipad and mac, however, my
reading location doesn't seem to be updated.

Not sure what a "Preview File" is ... but I will assume you mean a PDF file.
First of all, Apple products are very good at reading PDF files. In general, you don't need any special PDF viewer, as these are built in.
The place I would store PDF documents is in the iBooks reader. iBooks is a free app available in the App Store. It is where you would keep books you purchase in the App Store. Those books are stored in iTunes on your computer. You can store your PDFs there too.
To find PDFs, open iBooks, click on the "Books" button and then select PDFs.
