<h1 class="topictitle1">Problem: Duplicate IP address assignments on the same network</h1>
|
|
<div><p>An IP address should be unique across your network. The DHCP server
|
|
cannot assign a single IP address to more than one client.</p>
|
|
<p>Under certain conditions, the DHCP server will attempt to verify that an
|
|
address is not currently in use before it assigns it to a client. When the
|
|
DHCP server detects that an address is being used when it should not be, it
|
|
will temporarily mark that address as used and will not assign that address
|
|
to any client. You can use the DHCP Server Monitor to view which IP addresses
|
|
the server has detected are in use but were not assigned by the DHCP server.
|
|
These addresses will have a USED status and a UNKNOWN_TO_IBMDHCP client identifier.</p>
|
|
<p>Here are some common reasons for this problem.</p>
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Multiple DHCP servers are configured to assign the same IP address.</dt>
|
|
<dd>If two DHCP servers are configured to assign the same IP address to clients,
|
|
then it is possible for two different clients to receive the same IP address.
|
|
One of the clients will receive the IP address from one of the DHCP servers,
|
|
and another client will receive the same IP address from the other DHCP server.
|
|
Multiple DHCP servers can serve the same subnet or network, but they should
|
|
not be configured with the same address pool or overlapping address pools.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">A client has been manually configured with an IP address which is managed
|
|
by DHCP.</dt>
|
|
<dd> The DHCP server typically attempts to verify whether an
|
|
IP address is currently in use before assigning it to a client. However, there
|
|
is no guarantee that the manually configured client is currently connected
|
|
to the network or available to respond when the DHCP server is verifying the
|
|
IP address. So, the DHCP server might assign the IP address to a DHCP client.
|
|
When the manually configured client connects to the network, you will have
|
|
duplicate IP addresses on your network. IP addresses that are managed by DHCP
|
|
should not be used to manually configure the network setup for a client. If
|
|
a client needs to be manually configured with an IP address, that IP address
|
|
should be excluded from the DHCP server's address pool.</dd>
