A separate table showing duplicate network addresses is available. Press the 

 

button on the Data View or Capture View toolbar to see this table. 

Counter

Duplicate Network Address is a counter of all duplicate network addresses over a 
period of time per segment. A count of all duplicate network addresses displays in 
the 

 counters of Expert View. A threshold for this counter can be set in 

Expert Alarms for all duplicate network addresses.

IP address 0.0.0.0 is not counted as a duplicate address.

Expert Symptom

Duplicate network addresses are automatically logged as either “Duplicate IP 
Address” or “Duplicate IPX Address” expert symptoms. The 

 

field provides information about the duplicate IP or IPX address. For example:

Addr=[206.250.228.67]

This network address has multiple MAC station address associations. 

This is a serious problem if the associated MAC stations are not routers.

1. An existing network address has been assigned to a new machine without 

verification. 

2. An old (discarded) machine using this address has been re-introduced into the network. 

__________________________________________________________________ 

1. Change the network address of one or more hosts so that there are no 

duplicates.
