[Kea-users] DHCPv6 Failover Question

[Darren Ankney]

Hi,

A failover peer can be added later.  You can start with no HA
configuration and add it later.  Please note that you should plan to
do it during a maintenance window, however, as leases will need to be
synced between the two and DHCP services will be stopped during this
time.  If you have a lot of leases, this process can take a few
seconds or even minutes depending.

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
