DHCP large setup

Wednesday, 08 February 2012 12:42:21 pm

Hi

has anyone encountered this sort of issue:

1) -cameras are set to dhcp client,and the windows server dhcp server has the reservation based on cameras' mac addresses
-they get the ip addresses ok, function ok, but the DHCP address leases show as inactive

2) is there anyway to activate camera comand line interface to use "ifconfig" in order to see all the setting the cameras are getting (except admin/camera status) ?

1) If you mean that the page http://[ip_cam]/admin/dhcpleases is empty you don't have to worry because that page shows the IP addresses assigned by the internal DHCP Server of the camera to other devices in the net.

2) You cannot access the camera CLI but what you can do to read the value of its IP address you can display it through the page http://[ip_cam]/control/camerainfo or through CURL as decribed below:

- Open a command shell (Windows) or a terminal (Mac OS X, Linux).
- Enter the following command line and replace <user name>, <password> and <IP address> by the actual data of your camera:

curl -q -v -u "<user name>:<password>" --data-binary @- "http://<IP address>/admin/remoteconfig"

- Press the [Return] key; cURL is now waiting for commands.
- Copy the following text block

helo
view section ethernet
quit

- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the command shell or terminal.
- Press the [Ctrl+D] key combination twice to send the command sequence to the camera.

Hope this helps!
