9.9 IP address conflict detection

This dialog allows you to detect address conflicts the device is having with its
own IP address and rectify them (Address Conflict Detection, ACD).
Select IP address conflict detection on/off under "Status" or select the

Table 44: Possible address conflict operation modes
In the table the device logs IP address conflicts with its
IP address.
For each conflict the device logs:
the time
the conflicting IP address
the MAC address of the device with which the IP address conflicted.
For each IP address, the device logs a line with the last conflict that
occurred.
You can delete this table by restarting the device.

Meaning
Enables active and passive detection.
Disables the function
IP address has been configured, the device immediately checks whether
its IP address already exists within the network.
If the IP address already exists, the switch will return to the previous con-
figuration, if possible, and make another attempt after 15 seconds. At any
rate, the Switch will not connect to the network with a duplicate IP ad-
dress.
Enables passive detection only. The device listens passively to the net-
work to determine whether its IP address already exists. If it detects a du-
plicate IP address, it will initially defend its address by employing the ACD
mechanism and sending out gratuitous ARPs. If the remote connection
does not disconnect from the network, the management interface of the
local device will then disconnect from the network. Every 15 seconds, it
will poll the network to determine if there is still an address conflict. If there
isn't, it will connect back to the network.
