I am using PacketFence in a university environment, it is used for our
residence halls in VLAN mode. Some of our users thinking that they
will get around having to register their computer decided that all
they would have to do is enter a static IP. They chose 192.168.96.1
which is the address of the registration VLAN, this caused the entire
system to come crashing down. Nobody was able register, the DHCP
server quickly ran out of IP address space and other problems
happened. As Monday was the first day of school not many people had
registered yet, so it caused headaches for everybody. My question is
how can we prevent that from happening in the future, is there anyway?
What about users assigning static IP address after they have
registered, can we prevent that?

Thanks,
