old dhp problems solved.
|
|
|
| in the past i make a post regarding some problems with dhcp bad address.
yesterday i discover that the problems was regarding 2 bootp clients on the network: a switching hub and a wireless hub. this 2 hosts are using ip address from the dhcp scope and conflicts with clients.
whats happen here?. what is the recomendation on this case?.... i can check this thanks to languard scanner, a 3rd party utility, but why 2k dhcp say "bad address" instead of "bootp clients"?????
i´m very confused with this........ but at least now i know where to look when i see bad address conflicts... | |

| ough... i forget: my solution to this problem: i remove the automatic bootp ip configuration on the hosts, and provide manual ip address to this hosts. later, i exclude their ips on the dhcp scope..... nice, easy, effective solution.  | |

| Good job. When adding switches and managed hubs, make sure to allow for addresses for them in your design. Give them fixed addresses and exclude from range. | |

this happen because i´m not the network administrator of this network. i only help to this guys and in the last meeting, several ip problems was encountered on the network. several peoples come to a meeting in the office and the dhcp show several problems when start to provide ip address to such people. but now i know.
a new design with class c private ip address is scheduled for design because several routes are needed and now we are using valid ip address, and on the reality thing: only web and ftp servers need this ips.... | |

of course. on my designs i add network printers, routers, switchs, server cameras, hubs, wireless hubs and every host. here on this enviroment you can see how only a single bootp client can kill your complete network and add amazing problems. |
