Implementing DHCP Redundancy to Sustain
Critical Operations
DHCP Redundancy: Choosing between the Split-Scopes and Alcatel-Lucent
Failover DHCP configurations
W H I T E P A P E R
IP network administrators are understandably concerned with providing
redundancy in the event of the failure or inaccessibility of their frontline
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. Using a single
DHCP server to manage access to an IP network runs the risk that end
users will be denied access to the network when the DHCP server is
down or unreachable.
Customers who use Alcatel-Lucent DHCP servers and the VitalQIP
software to implement a redundant DHCP server configuration can
improve their service availability and increase end user satisfaction.
