What protocol used when two host has same ip address?

When two hosts have the same IP address on a network, it can lead to an IP address conflict, causing connectivity issues for both devices. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is often involved in detecting these conflicts, as it maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. Network administrators typically resolve the conflict by reconfiguring one of the devices to use a unique IP address. Additionally, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can help prevent such conflicts by dynamically assigning unique IP addresses to devices on a network.


What protocol uses port numbers 67 and 68?

The protocol that uses port numbers 67 and 68 is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Port 67 is used by the DHCP server to receive client requests, while port 68 is used by the DHCP client to receive responses from the server. This protocol is essential for dynamically assigning IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network.

Which protocol is used to automatically configure network devices?

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network. The system administrator assigns a range of IP addresses to DHCP and each client computer on the LAN has its TCP/IP software configured to request an IP address from the DHCP server. The request and grant process uses a lease concept with a controllable time period.
