To enforce security compliance on your MAC OS X devices, createone or more profiles with the required settings. To complete thistask, you must have the correct authorizations. See Operator permissions and associated profile actions.
Specify a Profile Name , a Description andselect the Site where the profile is created.The sites that are available are those that your operator login isauthorized to. These fields are mandatory. You can enforce securitypolicies for the categories that are displayed in the left pane. Tochange or specify attributes in a category you must first enable itby clicking On. If you enable a category withoutchanging any settings, the greyed values are not enforced on the deviceswhen the profile is deployed. You must enable at least one categoryto save the profile.
Note: You cannot specify double quotation marks ' inthe Profile Name and Description fields.
Select the Passcode Settings tab toset or change the following properties:
Allow simple values
The passcode can contain sequential or repeated characters, suchas AAAA, or 1234. This option isselected by default.
Minimum passcode length is [0] characters
Specify the minimum length of the passcode. Allowed values arein the range 0-50. The default value of 0 indicatesthat passcode length is not checked. The most restrictive value is50.
Password requires at least [0] complexcharacters
Specifies the number of non-alphanumeric characters (such as $and ! ) that the passcode must contain. Allowed Values are in therange 0-50, where 50 is the most restrictive value.
Passcode expires after [0] days
Allowed values are in the range 0-730, where 0 meansthat the passcode never expires. The default is 730.The most restrictive value is 1.
Enforce passcode history for the last [0] passwords
Specify the number of previous passwords that cannot be reused.Allowed values are in the range 0-50 , where thevalue 0 indicates that this check is not enabled.When you enter a new passcode, it is compared against the specifiednumber of previous passcodes. If a match is found, the passcode isrefused. The most restrictive value is 50.
Lock screen after [0] minutes of inactivity.
Allowed values are in the range 0-5. The defaultvalue of zero means that the screen never locks. The most restrictivevalue is 1.
Lock device after [10] failed login attempts.
The device is locked after the specified failed login attempts.Allowed values are in the range 0-11. The defaultvalue 0 indicates that the device is never locked.The most restrictive value is 1.
Set a Delay of [0] minutes before the loginwindow is re-displayed
When the device is locked because after the defined number offailed login attempts was reached, the device waits the specifiednumber of minutes before displaying the login window again. The defaultvalue of zero means no delay. If the value specified in the Lock Deviceparameter is 0 or 1, this option is greyed out and cannot be changed.
Set a Grace period of [730] minutes beforerequiring a passcode when the device is locked

The output of the ifconfig command in the terminal will tell you the broadcast address to use for each interface. For example: en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.50.6.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.50.6.255
once you've executed the xxx.xxx.xxx.255 broadcast ping, type 'arp -a' and it will show you a list of known IPs and their associated ethernet mac address. Dropzone 3 3 6 6. match the ethernet mac address to the label that is most likely attached to the back/ side/bottom of your device, and you're done.
or if you have a recent build of nmap installed, you can use the following to scan the whole subnet:
nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/24
substitute your IP range and subnet, of course. Wolf website designer 2 30 10.
2 questions. What if the device doesn't respond to ping. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that. Also, what if you have a device that was configured with a static IP on another network and then brought to yours and you don't know what it's set to. If you know the MAC address, can you find it on the network and configure it that way? Jeff
If it doesn't respond to ping, you can still find the address like so:
This will ping every address in your subnet (Adjust the local address as needed, and if your block is larger than a /24 you'll have to modify the script accordingly) and then show every machine that responded to the arp request. Even if it doesn't respond to a ping, it'll respond to the arp request. The ping is just used to generate the arp request.
I've used this to locate APs that blocked pings by default.
Pardon my stupidity, but when I type that straight into terminal, I get '-bash: 255: No such file or directory' and when I put it in ultraping.sh and do a 'sh ultraping.sh' I get 'ultraping.sh: line 2: 255: No such file or directory'. How do I use your instructions and can I make it into a command line command script? Thanks in advance. Jeff
Whoops. I make a mistake in my original post. x=0 while [ $x -lt 255 ]; do ping -c 1 192.168.1.$x & x=$(expr $x + 1) done # Wait a few seconds for the pings above to finish arp -a Hopefully that works for people where my original didn't. :)
Ummm. I have Mac OS X 10.4.6 running and I tried the command and it works, but it keeps looping? I don't get it. Can anyone help?
pings will keep going until you end it with <cntrl-c>
Aah. Simple. Many thanks!
if you type a -c# flag after the ping command it will only report back once, as in: ping -c2 192.168.1.255
Catalina mac update. .as said, ctrl + C or – in Apples Terminal – Command + '.' --- this is not the sig you`re looking for.
If you want to learn a little more about what is going on you might want to read this page: http://www.comptechdoc.org/independent/networking/guide/netbroadcasting.html Knowing EVERYTHING about IP addressing was part of my CompTIA and MCSE certifications.
Wow! You know everything about something? Great job! Now you just have to learn not to tell people that ; )
With Static IPs, the broadcast address, as listed in the hint, most likely won't work. So you need to find your broadcast addy! Just type the following: ifconfig -a This gives a big list. Under either 'eth0' or 'lo0' you will find an entry like: en0: flags. . inet xx.xx.173.212 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast xx.xx.173.223 . That xx.xx.173.223 is my broadcast, and it does the trick when I ping it. --- -Pie

Just to let everyone know. The address to ping on a AirPort network is 10.0.1.255. Check the network panel of system prefrences to see your IP address and replace the last digits with 255, as explained above. https://truemfiles569.weebly.com/just-cause-3-female-mod.html.
A much better way is described here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20041010213347605
Just to clarify: The amount of 255's must equal the number of 0's in the subnet mask. IE, if you have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the ping is x.x.x.255, if you have a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 the ping is x.x.255.255 and so on.
Here's a modifies version which works on my system:
x=0 while [ '$x' -lt '255' ]; do ping -c 1 10.0.0.$x & x=$(expr $x + 1) done # Wait a few seconds for the pings above to finish arp -a

This does NOT work in my network environment. Mine is a strange setup, however: I use the 169.254.x.x addressing scheme (the Automatic Private IP Addressing [APIPA] for reasons I will not go into here. When I attempt to ping the broadcast address (either 169.254.0.255 or 169.254.255.255) I either receive a single ping reply or none at all. I believe the problem lies in the rather unique status this address range has. (A brief discussion of this may be found at http://www.duxcw.com/faq/network/autoip.htm).

If you use a router's DHCP for all computers on your LAN, logging into it will likely give you a list of all DHCP devices by name. In my case, this means web browsing to: http://192.169.2.1/lan_dhcp.html This won't find static IP address on your LAN, but it does give the NAMES of the devices it does find. Yeay for human readability! :)
