Use the IP Address Conflict Detection page to run the IP Address Conflict Detection tool, which detects IP address conflicts for IPv4 addresses. When a conflict is detected, the switch updates the status on the page, generates an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap, and a logs a message noting the conflict.

IP Address Conflict Detection Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| IP Address Conflict Currently Exists | Shows whether an address conflict has been detected since status was last reset. |
| Last Conflicting IP Address | The IP address of the interface that was last found to be conflicting. This field displays only if a conflict has been detected since the switch was last rebooted. |
| Last Conflicting MAC Address | The MAC address of the remote host associated with the IP address that was last found to be conflicting. This field displays only if a conflict has been detected since the switch was last rebooted. |
| Time Since Conflict Detected | The time elapsed – displayed in days, hours, minutes, seconds – since the last conflict was detected (provided a reboot did not occur in the meantime). This field displays only if a conflict has been detected since the switch was last rebooted. |
To run the tool and check for possible address conflicts, click Run Conflict Detection. If the conflict detection status is true, click Reset Conflict Detection Status to clear the information and run the tool again.
