iPads and DHCP
Hi,
Has anybody else experienced strange behaviour regarding iPads and DHCP.
On my win 2008 R2 server running DHCP, everything works as it should.
With the iPads on the network I see the following behaviour;
"BADADDRESS" errors in dhcp
Random addresses being handed out, I can see by the MAC addresses that these are iPads however cannot ping them
I found this resource online which basically implies that the ipads are requesting an address then not using it

Has anybody got anything else they can add to this?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your comment!
We are a small school with a single lan setup, we have Ruckus managed wireless. All other devices Android, Win, Linux, Mac OSX are fine its just the iPads.
We use a single DHCP range, we will be moving to a second subnet/LAN once we have completed the rollout of managed switches.

Sounds good.
Best practice to keep the wireless device seperate.
Let me know if you need any more advise.

Thankyou for the link, looks like interesting reading and a follow on from the article I posted, will have a scan through now
Why are you using the DHCP server on your Windows 2008 server?
We have a seperate LAN for the Wireless devices.
We do not allow wireless devices on the corporate lan. No need to they can get on the web get email and do everything. Even can VPN in and access server shares.
The WiFi router distributes all ip addresses to ipad's iphone droids etc.
I would suggest you think about moving your WiFi to a another lan.
