IP conflict for
ip_address
(
hostname
).
Identifier or
ethernet MAC is
identifier or MAC
address
. A device
already exists under
this IP address. If
the original device
was replaced, please
delete it first and
run discovery again.
A newly discovered device
has the same IP address as a
previously discovered
device. The new device will
not be discovered until the
conflict is resolved. The
identifier shown is for the
previously discovered
device. For access points,
the identifier shown is the
Ethernet MAC address.
If you want both devices to be managed,
assign a different IP address to the newly
discovered device. If you substituted a new
device for a previous device and want to retain
the IP address, delete the old device. In either
case, run discovery again or wait for the next
scheduled discovery. See the online help or
the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless
LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.13.
