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?
