BES50GE - IP Conflict

[curlycord]

I have an issue with IP Conflict.
'arp -a' shows that both my BES50's (in my own office) are showing 2 IP's each with the same MAC address

192.168.1.226 (via DHCP)
192.168.1.0

My modem is 192.168.1.1
Range is set to 192.168.1.2 - 253

'arp -a' only shows one 192.168.1.0, but I found when I disabled LLDP on one of them and rebooted the other then shows as:
192.168.1.227 (via DHCP)
192.168.1.0

So the conflict is both BES50's are fighting over the mysterious 192.168.1.0

I scoured the programming and cannot find any input on this 192.168.1.0 on BES50.

Modem/Router is the DHCP server
BES50 226 out on one LAN port to LAN port on BES50 227

I am curious if anyone else has had this issue.
Also if anyone has firmware, I also have 2 BES50FE's

Thanks

192.168.1.0 is the network address, 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address on /24 subnet.. minimum host address is 192.168.1.1 and maximum host address is 192.168.1.254. There is nothing mysterious about the 192.168.1.0 - the network address is not supposed to be used by devices. I think the arp output shows 192.168.1.0 as the identification of network on which the devices have the (DHCP assigned) address 192.168.1.226 and 192.168.1.227.

Thanks for that refresher/reply.

I do not see a way to disable DHCP on these switches so I assumed they do not handle DHCP, instead they rely on the main equipment to handle DHCP.

The only DHCP is for the IP address itself, I assigned Static to both but I see that one unit did not take so they are both set to Static as of now.
I do not recall seeing the "network address" in arp before, but why only these 2 units are in the fight and not my other 2 routers (both in AP mode)?

Cheers

One BES50 is looped to the other.
