| hey there! Is DHCP server from Solaris 10 can work with failover DHCP? I have got this version DHCP: # pkginfo -l SUNWdhcsr PKGINST: SUNWdhcsr NAME: BOOTP/DHCP Server Services, (Root) CATEGORY: system ARCH: sparc VERSION: 11.10.0,REV=2005.01.21.15.53 Thanks for help. -- Pozdrawiam.

Are you referring to the IETF Internet Draft that expired several years ago or (more generally) to a configuration that supports failover between servers? The Solaris DHCP server doesn't support that old draft (I'm not sure what the current status of it might be; it hasn't been discussed in a while), but you can set up a fail-over configuration using this server and Sun Cluster, or just by making sure that the DHCP database is on a shared file system. See dhcpsvc.conf(4), dhcpmgr(1M), and dhcp_modules(5). -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson@sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 |

| Hello! >> Is DHCP server from Solaris 10 can work with failover DHCP? > What exactly do you mean? Are you referring to the IETF Internet I mean about this: "DHCP failover is a protocol designed to allow a backup DHCP server to take over for a main server if the main server is taken off the network for any reason. You can use DHCP failover to configure two DHCP servers to operate as a redundant pair." In the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) DHCP server, which is widely available on Linux and BSD systems, server offered failover capabilities, so I wonder if Solaris DHCP server can do this to? Anyway I look at Sun Cluster. Thank for your help. -- Pozdrawiam. Grzesiek; scss (at) poczta.onet.pl |

It can do the same thing functionally, but it does not have support for the experimental fail-over protocol you're citing. > Anyway I look at Sun Cluster.
