Hi:
Could anyone tell me how to configure DHCP to check if' there are any addresses conflict happenings?

Do you mean this?

Configuring a DHCP Database Agent or Disabling DHCP Conflict Logging

A DHCP database agent is any hostfor example, an FTP, TFTP, or rcp serverthat stores the DHCP bindings database. You can configure multiple DHCP database agents and you can configure the interval between database updates and transfers for each agent. To configure a database agent and database agent parameters, use the following command in global configuration mode:

If you choose not to configure a DHCP database agent, disable the recording of DHCP address conflicts on the DHCP Server. To disable DHCP address conflict logging, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# no ip dhcp conflict logging

"

By default the router will send a number of pings to check if the IP is used.
Also, by default the router will log a message if two IPs start to use the same MAC.
So, by default your requirement is achived.

It seems one of that trick questions, when the wording make us thing that there is something to configure, but in fact it is already done by default.
