Problem

You see one of the following error messages:

Datagram received on network device: le0

ICMP ECHO reply to OFFER candidate: ip_address disabling

Verification: Before the DHCP server offers an IP address to a client, it verifies that the IP address is not in use by pinging the IP address. If a client replies, the IP address is in use.

Solution: Make sure the IP addresses you configured are not already in use.
