Redundant DHCP - dual IP HELPER

[Svend]

I'm trying to design a solution for redundant DHCP servers on a network. We have sites across the country that all DHCP off a single central server and this works fine.

The routers currently have IP HELPER configs that relay the requests back to the central server.

Question: Does IOS (12) support multiple IP Helpers in some way so that I can get failover support or load balancing?

Hi,

Yes I run a similar solution on my test network, you can definitely have four and they are in the order that they are listed in the config.

If you DHCP server is microsoft, you can run it clustered.
