dhcp failover using static hosts

[Randall C Grimshaw]

Static IP numbers can be provided in a redundant way by as many servers as you like....
The client will take the first offer it gets. There is not problem since it will get the same offer from them all, always.
Host statements are not bound to any subnet declaration so you might better take them out and save the confusion. If the machine shows up on a network different than defined by a subnet statements mask however - it will not match and will be ignored.

Subject: dhcp failover using static hosts

Dear Members;

I have dhcp server serving dynamic & static IPs , I would like to apply failover between 2 dhcp servers, my issue is how to add static IPs subnets to failover, as you see in my below config , I'm not defining any pool section,  and as I read in dhcp doc that it's mondatory to define failover by pool like this:

pool {
        failover peer "foo";
        pool specific parameters
};



Please advise,


My actual config for static IPs subnet:

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

option xxxx;

option xxxx;

option xxxx;

host xxxx-1 {

hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;

fixed-address 192.168.0.254;}

host xxxx-2 {

hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;

fixed-address 192.168.0.253;}

}

Regards
