EISY - Wifi Connection not getting Static Assignment from DHCP

Featured Replies

Posted

Has anyone gotten Wifi Connection to accept DHCP static address assignment? 

The Unique ID shows as - image.png.78757fe2f2817134facc5af9325f648d.png

did SSH into the device to figure out what the MAC is for the WIFI and showed some sort of NAT on the Wifi.

Was able to get my cabled connection to accept DHCP reservation so I know that works.

I am looking for suggestions as I have nuked the configuration and tried the setup without a restore from the 994i ISY and no luck. Thank you.

@woodfieldp did you ever get this sorted out? You might be best served with a support ticket with UD.

I don't use the wifi connection, but I seem to recall when I first setup the eisy that once it's connected to the router you can reserve it based on that connection and it did seem to work. My eisy is in the same location as my primary router so I have a short ethernet cable making the connection. One less "technology" to worry about being flaky. If you've got the ability to run it wired why not just keep using that?

Static IP assignments are usually controlled by your router, not the device. I can 'reserve' IP 192.169.1.xxx for a certain device on my network, then set that device to use DHCP. If you hard code an IP in the device and don't reserve it, the DHCP server won't know about it and you could end up with IP Address conflicts.

How you reserve it is a function of the router, and the methods are as unique as the router population.

The router will make a static DHCP assignment based on the mac address. There are two mac addresses, wired and wireless. Once you have gotten an ip address via wireless, make that assignment static in the router.
