Subject: [pfSense Support] 1.2.3-Release - minor user protection improvement
suggestion?
I had a network problem, turns out I had assigned 2 devices to the same IP using the DHCP server. Usually pfSense checks most
things and tells me when I stuff up, but on this occasion it did not. I'm pretty sure it checks for duplicate MAC addresses,
should it check for duplicate IP's also? Yeah I should have noticed, but for some reason I didn't see it. I can edit an entry to
use a duplicate IP and it accepts it.
OK found the reason for this: Relax the ip address check and allow duplicate ip address entries which allows fr example a wireless
card and a ethernet card on a laptop to share the same ip address as posted at http://blog.pfsense.org/?author=2paged=3
