No server can detect a "rogue" that is switched off. If it's switched
on, your other clients *should* issue DHCPDECLINE responses if they
detect the rogue in their subnets. However, it's not exactly reliable.
It is more reliable with DHCPv6, because duplicate address detection is
a standardised part of the address configuration process.

DHCP is not a security tool. It never was and never will be. You have to
look beyond DHCP for that.
