Detection of duplicate ip?

nextgenhappines — Thu, 08 May 2014 14:59:42 GMT

Hello,

Got a call from a client said their network is slow and intermittent Internet access. Found out someone in the office installed a network based webcam that used the same ip address as the firewall interface on that client net.

I checked the firewall log and did not find any alert about duplicate ip detected. It turns out PanOS does not detects duplicate IP. I can't remember other layer 3 devices that does not have duplicate ip detection capability.

If you think this is a problem, please talk to your local SEs and ask to fill out a feature request.

if you mean same ip different Mac, it will not be possible in most of the configurations.

At least when paloalto is the dhcp server, it will be a good feature.
