Question about IAP-93 and IAP-105

  • 1.  Question about IAP-93 and IAP-105

    Posted Jul 06, 2012 11:55 AM

    Hello,

     

    I was wondering if it was possible to have IAP-93 and IAP-105 controlled from the same virtual controller? The number of APs will be below 16. 

     

    I'm new to setting this up, but i also noticed that the host name for the client computers never fills in. Is there away to fix this?

     

    thanks

    Yes.

     

    When you say the host name for the client computers never fills in, do you mean on the Virtual Controller dashboard?

    Yes exactly. It just shows as --

     

    Do I need to configure DNS servers somewhere, so it can do a lookup?

     

    thanks

    Here is a screen shot...  Right now I only have two clients, but earlier I had a bunch and it was the same thing. When I do a nslookup of the IP address I do get the correct name. Not sure if there is somewhere I have to configure the AP to look for this. It seems to idenitfy the OS correcly also, just the DNS name never shows up....

     

    thanks again for your help

    Ah,

     

    The "Name" field is for the username of the person who authenticated.  if you are using any type of preshared key authentication, this field will not be populated.  It is not for the hostname, unfortunately...

    Hi,

     

    I have seen win some IAP client dashboards where the name of the client will be android-123 or Win7-PC which is not the username of the clients and noticed this in open SSIDs too.
