Subject: [dhcwg] dhcp.conf file and failover

From: Stephen Sutton <[email-masked]>

Have two Solaris boxes running Solaris 8 and have installed 
dhcp-3.0.1rc9 on them.
These machines share a test network with a PC. Have been able to start 
dhcp without the failover text in the dhcp.conf.  find the dhcp.conf.5 
file confusing.  In the example it shows an include for 
/etc/dhcpd.master but am not sure what would go in this file.

My latest attempt looks something like:
subnet 10.0.120.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
  pool {
     failover peer "findon";
      deny dynamic bootp clients;
       max-lease-time 7600;
       option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
       option routers 10.0.120.10;
       default-lease-time 7600;
       range 10.0.120.100 10.0.120.150;
   }
}

failover peer "findon" {
   secondary;
   address 10.0.120.28;
    port 519;
     peer address 10.0.120.29;
     peer port 520;
     max-response-delay 60;
      max-unacked-updates 10;
     mclt 3600;
      split 128;
      load balance max seconds 3;
}

On starting dhcp this gives me the error:
lightstar.oit.pdx.edu dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 44: failover peer 
findon: not found

findon is the host name of the primary server.

Am in need of some documentaion on how to set up the "dhcp.conf" file 
for failover.
The best information ,so far, has been in the "dhcpd.conf.5" man page.
Is there additional documentation on how to set up the dhcpd.conf for 
failover?

Steve
