On the contrary, one can easily have two DHCP servers or routers on the same subnet at the same time. It is advisable for the two DHCP servers to be allocated non-conflicting _ranges_, but they can be in the same subnet. With most DHCP servers, it isn't even necessary to have non-conflicting ranges as the DHCP will check the network for the presence of the proposed address before offering it, but I wouldn't bet that the DHCP server in embedded devices does that. Two routers will often be used, although there should be only one default gateway. -- We're looking for smart Linux people: http://www.tiger-computing.co.uk/jobs -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
