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.

Surprised to see RECOVER DONE as an option!

I think RECOVER DONE works too.

Nope, COMMUNICATIONS-INTERRUPTED is a no-go.

Wait, can it really assign in PARTNER-DOWN?

Definitely in NORMAL state.

I’m pretty sure NORMAL is the key state for assigning addresses, but I can't recall if RECOVER DONE is valid too.

I feel like PARTNER-DOWN is definitely a no-go for assigning addresses, but I’m a bit confused about RECOVER DONE.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think COMMUNICATIONS-INTERRUPTED means it can't assign addresses.

I think the DHCP server can assign addresses in the NORMAL state, but I'm not sure about RECOVER DONE.

I'm not too sure about this one. I'll have to guess and hope I get it right. The DHCP failover states are a bit of a mystery to me.

Okay, I've got this. The Member can assign addresses in the NORMAL and PARTNER-DOWN states. Gotta be careful with COMMUNICATIONS-INTERRUPTED though.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the different failover states and their responsibilities. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand this properly.

This one looks tricky, but I think I can figure it out. Let me think through the DHCP failover states and which ones allow address assignment.

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...

But it cannot assign addresses when it is in the PARTNER-DOWN state.

That's right, it's important to understand DHCP for the exam.

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

In a DHCP Failover pair, a Member can assign addresses to new clients when it is in the NORMAL state.
WI

Yes, a DHCP server is the one that gives out IP addresses.
DE

Yes, a DHCP server assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.

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.
JA

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!

That's a good choice, the server can assign addresses in those states.

I would go with B) NORMAL and D) PARTNER-DOWN.
RA

Yeah, those are the correct states for a DHCP failover pair.
CA

I think it's A) RECOVER DONE and D) PARTNER-DOWN.

A) RECOVER DONE

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

I agree with Sherell, because in those states the Member can assign addresses to new clients.
SH
Sherell

I think the answer is A) RECOVER DONE and B) NORMAL.
MA

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

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

Actually, it can also assign addresses in the RECOVER DONE state.
DE

Yes, you are correct. The DHCP server can assign addresses to new clients when it is in the NORMAL state.
