HP UX DHCP server to not ignore "duplicate" DHCP discover

[mark_643]

How do I configure the HP UX DHCP server to not ignore "duplicate" DHCP discover messages.

[mark_643]

I have a several servers with hp ux V11 they have not been patch since 2001 and patching has a very large test cost involved.

I cannot find anywhere that allow me to set the DHCP duplicates and configure DHCP not to ignore duplicates.DHCPtools has not helped

Help my scope on most of my servers(92 of them)are causing me a headache.

My understanding is its up to the administrator to configure various dhcp servers so there is no conflict.

If there are duplicate ip addresses in two dhcp servers, then that makes network chaos possible because two machines could be assigned the same ip address.

I'm not a 11i dhcp expert, but what I think needs to be done is the manual elimination of duplicate ip addresses from your network.

Ek I am the administator the clients were on NT and this was not the problem, all 92 servers are my problem and they are scoped so there are no conflicts between servers. The setting on HP UX unix is the problem. I have some unix experience and administrators must of hit this problem as windows 2000 introduces it. I have go through the Sam options no joy there it is going to need a config in HP UX V11 somehow can anyone help.
