With multiple dhcp servers - how is redundacy achieved with regards to reserved addresses? If reserved addresses are configured on only one server what happens if that server goes down?

The reservations on each server consist of IP INSIDE that range, so you just need make one reservation. The IP duration depends on the stability of your network. If mostly of your clients are desktops and you have a good margin of remaining IP addresses, you can make it bigger (20 days in my network), on the other hand, if you have a few margin of IP addresses and/or have a lot of mobile users, your lease should be lower (3 days for instance) Mauricio Fernández S.

Are reserved addresses duplicated on each server? What do you recommend for ip address lease duration? Phil
