Apple Macintosh Instruction Manuals (User Guides) As per reader requests, direct links to official Apple Macintosh instruction manuals in PDF format - hosted by Apple's own support site- are provided below as well as on the specs page for each G3 and newer Mac. Not sure which Mac you need to locate? Nov 25, 2017 You could set up your router to do manual assignment of IP address instead of using DHCP, but that is a PITA, because then you'd have to manually set up IP for all your devices. If you have AirPOrt Extreme, you could do this: In your Apple TV, go to the Settings About and write down the MAC address of your ATV; Start up the AiPort Admin Utility.
In order to access the Installation Console, you need to manually set the IP address of your computer to 169.254.0.2. You will need to open System Preferences, once there open Network It would be a good idea to to edit the Locations so that you can easily change from DHCP to manual IP simply.
Reset Ip On Mac
You could set up your router to do manual assignment of IP address instead of using DHCP, but that is a PITA, because then you'd have to manually set up IP for all your devices.
If you have AirPOrt Extreme, you could do this:
- In your Apple TV, go to the Settings >> About and write down the MAC address of your ATV
- Start up the AiPort Admin Utility
- Go to Network tab
- click + in the DHCP reservations
- Choose an IP you want for your ATV & Enter the MAC address
- From now on, this IP address will be reserved to the MAC address and only your ATV will be able to get it, no other device will.
- It is not a static IP in a true sense, but behaves just like one.
Works great for me...
If you don't have a AP Extreme, I'm sure other routers will allow you do reservations too.
In most network deployments, generated MAC addresses are appropriate. However, you might need to set a static MAC address for a virtual network adapter.
The following examples show when you might set a static MAC address.
■ | You want to ensure that a virtual network adapter always has the same MAC address. |
By default, VMware uses the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) 00:50:56 for manually generated addresses, but all unique manually generated addresses are supported.
If you choose to use the VMware OUI, part of the range has been partitioned for use by vCenter Server , host physical NICs, virtual NICs, and future use.
You can set a static MAC address using the VMware OUI prefix by adding the following line to a virtual machine‘s configuration file:
Set Up Manual Ip Address
In the example, <number> refers to the number of the Ethernet adapter, XX is a valid hexadecimal number between 00 and 3F, and YY and ZZ are valid hexadecimal numbers between 00 and FF. The value for XX cannot be greater than 3F to avoid conflict with MAC addresses that are generated by the VMware Workstation and VMware Server products. The maximum value for a manually generated MAC address is shown in the sample.
You must also set the address type in a virtual machine’s configuration file.
Set Manual Ip Mac
Because ESXi virtual machines do not support arbitrary MAC addresses, you must use the example format. Choose a unique value for XX:YY:ZZ among your hard-coded addresses to avoid conflicts between the automatically assigned MAC addresses and the manually assigned ones.
It is your responsibility to to ensure that no other non-VMware devices use addresses assigned to VMware components. For example, you might have physical servers in the same subnet, which use 11:11:11:11:11:11, 22:22:22:22:22:22 as static MAC addresses. Since the physical servers do not belong to the vCenter Server inventory, vCenter Server is not able to check for address collision.
