A Member in a DHCP Failover pair can assign addresses to new clients, when it is in which state(s)? (Select all that apply.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C, D

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth

DHCP Failover states determine lease assignment:

B (NORMAL): Both peers assign from their pools---full capacity for new clients. Correct.

C (COMMUNICATIONS-INTERRUPTED): Surviving peer assigns new leases within MCLT limits. Correct.

D (PARTNER-DOWN): Single peer takes full pool, assigns new leases freely. Correct.

A (RECOVER DONE): Post-recovery state before NORMAL---typically doesn't assign until synced, but documentation varies. Likely incorrect here unless transitional.

Practical Example: In an INE lab, test each state, monitor new client IPs, and troubleshoot capacity limits.

Wait, what's a DHCP server again? Is that the thing that gives out IP addresses? I should probably study up on that before the exam...

It can also assign addresses when it is in the RECOVER DONE state.

I'd say B) NORMAL and D) PARTNER-DOWN. Seems like the server can assign addresses in both cases, just for different reasons.

I think D) PARTNER-DOWN is definitely not a state where the Member can assign addresses, so I agree with Sherell and Jesus.

I'm not sure about C) COMMUNICATIONS-INTERRUPTED, I don't think the Member can assign addresses in that state.

Haha, I bet the answer is D) PARTNER-DOWN. That's when the other server is down, so this one has to take over. Gotta love it when technology fails on us!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe C) COMMUNICATIONS-INTERRUPTED would work too. That's when the servers can't talk to each other, right?

I think the answer is B) NORMAL. That's when the DHCP server is up and running normally, right?

That's good to know. So the DHCP server can assign addresses in both NORMAL and RECOVER DONE states.
