Hello RebootExpert,

It is not currently implemented, but is on our list to add as a feature. It is supported in the underlying system code, but needs to be exposed and tested in an API. That is something we will begin looking at in January and hopefully be in the next release.

Hello,

That is some great troubleshooting, and thank you very much for sharing the results. We have been checking the behavior and any fixes from 3.5.0 to the latest 3.5.3, and will post back to you as soon as we know more. Have a great weekend and thank you again.

The NetBurner device will know what AutoIP address it wants immediately since it is based on the MAC address. It will then immediately do a ping to verify no one else is using that same address. This should only take about a second unless someone else has that address.

What version of tools are you using?
