17-10 Checking for Duplicate IP Addresses

Checking for Duplicate IP Addresses

Use this procedure to ensure that the PortServer TS 8/16 and another device are not using the same

IP address.

Procedure

1. From another system on the network, use the ping command to determine if the IP address is in

use. The following is the command syntax:

ping ip-address

2. Do one of the following:

• If there is no response to the ping, exit this procedure and return to the symptoms section of

this section. Two devices using the same IP address is probably not a problem.

• If there is a response, continue with this procedure.

3. Turn the PortServer TS 8/16 off and then ping again.

4. Do one of the following:

• If there is a response to the ping, there is another device using that IP address, so assign one

of the devices a new IP address.

• If there is no response, turn the PortServer TS 8/16. Another device is not using the IP

address assigned PortServer TS 8/16.
