Rcore and DHCP

The Rcore can allow new devices to join the network and request DHCP addresses. The Rcore will step back and avoid the new device. Use the --track-dhcp argument to allow DHCP. However, many DHCP servers will scan parts of the network to determine what IP addresses are available for assignment. In general, we don't want anything scanning the network without us documenting that fact.

If you have a DHCP server that scans the network to check for unused IP addresses, you will need to add that DHCP server to your Rcore configuration, like this:

    --no-phantoms-for-ipv4-list=<dhcp-server-address>

The --no-phantoms-for-ipv4-list argument sets a list of computers that will be immune to phantoms. Anything in the list will never see phantoms generated by the Rcore.
