DHCPD behind a CCS.
Posted by AM on September 4th, 2006


Hi all,

has anybody implemented the high availability feature with DHCP?
I set up DHCP with bootp (static assignments MAC address <-> IP address) and ISC doesn't provides HA
with such an
option. So I can not use their failover feature.
I though to set up the Cisco Content Switch to accept packets directed to 255.255.255.255 and to
forward them to the DHCP server.
Maybe working with the 255.255.255.255 destination address is not possible but using the helper
provided by many switches and routers is not a such utopian idea.
Have your say on the topic, please :-)

Alex.
