DHCP Failover Behavior Windows Server 2012


hi all,

i've question you:

we have implemented dhcp failover load balanced (50%-50%) scope; 2 dhcp server located on different site.

in site (different ones below) we have implemented subnet in load balance on dhcp servers. have configured a dhcp relay agent scope send dhcp packet 2 dhcp server (like explained in following link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn338979.aspx

the question is: what's happen if lose communication dhcp server issued ip scope in load balance but communication 2 dhcp server works fine (normal status).

i think not receive ip address, right?

many thanks,

davide


hi,

i got answer , apparently 'other' dhcp server respond client , give ip address if client keeps transmitting. verbatim response below.

the second server not own hash client respond when client keeps retransmitting. dhcp server looks @ seconds filed in client message , if value equal or greater 6 seconds, conclude client retransmitting , respond client.

thanks,

-greg
