Our customer bought Acer notebooks and he started to have problem with management server 🙂 Management server has IP address 192.168.0.10. When I checked ARP responses other server using WireShark I found out that there are 10 ARP records for IP address 192.168.0.10. So there were IP conflicts.
Customer has IP range 192.168.0.0/23 and management server has IP 192.168.0.10. Problem is that this stupid Acer Notebooks have same IP address 192.168.0.10 for their ASF and it’s enabled by default.
You can disable/configure ASF using BIOS:
- Go to BIOS -> Advanced -> Integrated Peripherals
- Set “ASF” to Disabled
- Save BIOS settings and restart PC
Have a nice day and don’t buy Acer 😀
