Feature added by: John Harmon (joharmon) Feature #313457, revision 1 Title: IP address management options for duplicate IP Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: John Harmon (joharmon) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If serverA has IP Address 192.168.1.1 and is powered down, and serverB is configured with the same IP address, then when both serverA and B are running there can be issues. While, admittedly, this is an Administrative issue, the customer would like to see a way to do one of the following: 1. If, when the network is coming up, the ip address is bound already on another box, prevent this server from loading/binding the configured IP address (although I can see this as a security issue). 2. Bind a default address 3. Get a DHCP address and once the system is up email the admin with the problem -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313457
