DPARTNER-DOWN

Show Suggested 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.

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!
