Switchport claiming an IP address (DHCP)

Here's a weird situation.

My PC intermittently reports an IP address conflict (drops connection and logs event ID 4199 in the windows system log:

"The system detected an address conflict for IP address 0.0.0.0 with the system having network hardware address 00-08-2F-07-D4-90. Network operations on this system may be disrupted as a result."

 

Here's the strangeness...  That MAC address belongs to the switchport on the switch my PC is connected to:

 

TAC_A1_3850-48_STK#sh int g1/0/16
GigabitEthernet1/0/16 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0008.2f07.d490 (bia 0008.2f07.d490)
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)

<SNIP>

 

Here's the config:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/16
switchport access vlan 500
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 832
authentication control-direction in
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication port-control auto
mab
dot1x pae authenticator
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
end

 

What could cause this???

And...  Of course... my next google search (the last of many) found the answer.

Just turn off IP Address Tracking on the switch.

Hope this helps someone other than me.
