Hi all,
I have a site with 2 DHCP servers, one in production environment and another in DR. For whatever reason, the DR server was setup to server the majority of the DHCP leases (10.50 -> 10.209) and the production server only 30 addresses (10.210 -> 10.240).
We want to change this around and I have a couple of questions:
1. Our documented process is to remove the exclusion ranges and then setup new exclusion ranges as a complete opposite of the current setup to give the production server the majority of the leases.
2. What happens to active client leases e.g. Client connected on the DR scope, lets say 10.100. When the ranges are switched over, presumably 10.100 will then become available on the production scope and will be dished out to a new client but the old client will receive an IP conflict error OR is DHCP smart enough to know this?
Any help would be appreciated.
