Troubleshooting DHCP 
Server Configuration
Symptom
A client’s IP address obtained from the DHCP server conflicts with another IP 
address.
Analysis
A host on the subnet may have the same IP address.
Solution
1 Disconnect the client’s network cable and ping the client’s IP address on another 
host with a long timeout time to check whether there is a host using the same IP 
address.
2 If a ping response is received, the IP address has been manually configured on the 
host. Execute the dhcp server forbidden-ip command on the DHCP server to 
exclude the IP address from dynamic allocation.
3 Connect the client’s network cable. Release the IP address and obtain another one 
on the client. Take WINDOW XP as an example, run cmd to enter into DOS 
window. Type ipconfig/release to relinquish the IP address and then 
ipconfig/renew to obtain another IP address.
