Preventing IP duplication while useing DHCP sever.

Hello lads,

I was wondering the other day how could I prevent a host causing IP duplication on the network.

 

The situation:

We are using DHCP sever on the network with MAC based authentication, so only users get address from the DHCP who's are on the list with their MAC address.

But people who give statically IP address to their device can use the network. If they can find out 

 

So here comes the problem. In some case they add IP address which is already used and it will cause IP duplication.

 

I want to prevent this to happen by shutting down the port or prevent this to happen.

Mean while I also want to manage it dynamically by not to add each MAC address of the servers or the gateways etc.

 

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

Dave.

Hi,

What switches are you using? You could look at dhcp snooping, arp inspection and source guard. This will force users to  use dhcp.

Thanks
