Mask".

yet been assigned, the device sends the message that it is using this IP address as
of now.
– Conflict

that has already been assigned.
– Defending
The interface uses a unique IPv4 address. Another interface is attempting to use
the same IPv4 address.
– Active
The interface uses a unique IPv4 address. There are no collisions.
– Not supported
The function for detection of address collisions is not supported.
– Disabled
The function for detection of address collisions is disabled.
