You are making the problem unnecessarily complex. For the example scenario 
start with a dict that maps host to ip:

host2ip = {
 "PC1": "192.168.0.1",
 "PC2": "192.168.0.2",
 "PC3": "192.168.0.3",
}

host, ip = raw_input("Enter host and ip: ").split()
if host not in host2ip:
    print "adding", host
    host2ip[host] = ip
else:
    old_ip = host2ip[host]
    if old_ip == ip:
        print "no changes necessary"
    else:
        print "updating ip for", host, "from", old_ip, "to", ip
        host2ip[host] = ip


Then proceed and come up with an unambiguous description of what to do with 
mac and time in plain english, and add or modify data structures as 
necessary.
