dhcpd: failover: listener: no matching state

[Ryan McCain]

Hello,

We recently migrated our secondary DHCP server from SLES on x86 to SLES on the mainframe.  I'm not sure if this is when the problem started or not, but it's the only change in the environment that I'm aware of.

We are running dhcp-3.0.3-23.33 on both servers.  The primary is SLES 10 x86; The secondary is SLES 10 390x.

dhcpd.conf from Primary:

failover peer "failover" {
  primary; # declare this to be the primary server
  address 10.120.11.85;
  port 520;
  peer address 10.120.11.107;
  peer port 520;
  max-response-delay 30;
  max-unacked-updates 10;
  load balance max seconds 3;
  mclt 1800;
  split 128;
}

dhcpd.conf from Secondary:
failover peer "failover" {
  secondary; # declare this to be the primary server
  address 10.120.11.107;
  port 520;
  peer address 10.120.11.85;
  peer port 520;
  max-response-delay 30;
  max-unacked-updates 10;
  load balance max seconds 3;
}

The primary loads fine, however, this is the log from the secondary...
