DHCP Conflict

In entertainment lighting: this frequently occurs when a console with an active built in DHCP server is connected to a venue's existing corporate network: creating a rogue DHCP server situation. In a documented case: an ETC console was automatically distributing rogue IP leases onto a school's IT network. Simply deactivating the console's DHCP server to resolve the conflict can cause secondary issues: such as gateways retaining their old: incompatible leases and immediately dropping offline. Using professional management software like QubiSet allows technicians to monitor active leases and quickly identify conflicting IP configurations to maintain system uptime.
