Duplicate IP Address Detection
While connected to your network, the IFE server publishes its IP address. To avoid any duplicate IP address conflicts, the IFE server uses the address resolution protocol (ARP) to see if any other device on your network is using the same IP address. The following table explains how the IFE server handles a duplicate IP address when it is detected.
Duplicate IP Address Scenario
Scenario |
Duplicate IP Detected |
Network Status LED |
---|---|---|
Ethernet link detected |
Reverts to the default IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. ARP requests are sent every 15 seconds until the IP address is available. IFE server uses the IP address when it is available, |
Steady red |
Manual address change |
Reverts to the default IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. The ARP requests are sent every 15 seconds until the IP address is available. The IFE server uses the IP address when it is available. |

If more than one ARP is detected within 10 seconds, initiate the process to reacquire the IP. |
