Hi,<br />
<br />
It's a good practice to have DHCP failover. It's not always in active but when disaster comes this surely save your life. You can follow the step by step procedures as per this article <a href="https://thesolving.com/server-room/how-to-configure-dhcp-failover-on-windows-server-2012-r2/" rel="ugc">https://thesolving.com/server-room/how-to-configure-dhcp-failover-on-windows-server-2012-r2/</a><br />
<br />
Good luck

you can also choose active/active which means they will both be active and also fail over. <br />
This is how we set DHCP up across two datacenters so they they are resilient automatically

There are so many article over the internet. Experts out there must have implemented DHCP fail-over. Have you had any problem with it?<br />
I would appreciate if you could advice me &nbsp;the best practice etc.

DHCP fail-over

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
