XP_2600 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I would like to identify all dhcp servers in my network, is there any scanners can scan the network for DHCP service ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Veteran Posted November 1, 2012 Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2012 Surely if its your network you should know where all the DHCP servers are? a little more info on what your attempting to do might help here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsnyy Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Sometimes I've seen rogue DHCP servers pop up. For example Avaya is great at this. I've had an IP office system just start handing out IP's right after a power failure... just turned dhcp service on. Drove me nuts for two days because it was handing out the same IP's as my normal DHCP server! I used a combination of overlook fing and portqry in windows server.

Haggis Veteran Posted November 1, 2012 Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2012 Sorry i don't see what the confusion is about your problem if you added a cheap dsl router and an AP and both are offering DHCP then turn them off on the admin console If i am missing something here i apologise but it seems extremely easy to fix from what you have said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted November 1, 2012 MVC Share Posted November 1, 2012 "i just added a DSL cheap router and another access point seems they both offering DHCP so i get conflicts." I'm with Haggis here - turn one of them off or both of them if you have a server providing dns, problem solved. Now if you were sure you turned them both off and where still getting problems then there might be a rouge. But finding a rouge dhcp is pretty simple - you don't really need a scanner ;) Sniff the traffic and you will get the mac of the dhcp server sending out the offers and acks both of which will be broadcast 255.255.255.255 so any box on the network should see this traffic. Now the tricky part can be having the smart switches to be able to figure out what port that mac is connected too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
