MSP432E401Y: IP Address Conflict

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

Hi, Does the SimpleLink SDK have a way to detect IP address conflicts?

Regards,

Mike

  • Hi Mike,

      No, I don't think SDK has a means to detect IP address conflicts. Let's say you define/assign a static address for your MCU and there is another host on the network with the same IP address. I think the results are unpredictable.  It is possible that neither computer will have a working network connection. Other possibilities could be only one device is able to access the network. If all hosts on the network use DHCP server then the IP address conflict can be avoided.
