Dear All,
I'm facing a problem in configuring the failover and the tftp option.
Structure:
- 2 DHCP servers in faliover mode.
- The clients will request the IP through a relay agent. The clients are
CPEs and need to download a configuration file (boot file) to start. So TFTP
server is needed (it is in the same server of DHCP).
- The problem is that the Failover setup is not allocating IPs to the
clients. If I remove the failover it works fine and allocate the IP. I don't
know if "deny dynamic bootp clients" is the problem but i couldn't remove
it.
- In addition I didn't manage to make the TFTP option in the conf file. I
don't know the syntax. Please see the below conf file.
///////////////

ddns-update-style none;

deny dynamic bootp clients;
next-server 194.180.195.10;

range 172.18.140.100 172.18.140.105;
}
}

It is the same but without mclt & split options.
