Configuring the Public Network Adapter
The use of long lease periods is recommended to assure that a
dynamically assigned IP address remains valid in the event that the
DHCP server is temporarily lost. In all cases, set static IP addresses for
the private network connector. Note that Cluster Service recognizes only
one network interface per subnet.

Note:
It is strongly recommended that you use static IP
addresses for all network adapters in the cluster. This
includes both the network adapter used to access the
cluster nodes and the network adapter used to access the
LAN (Local Area Network). If you must use a dynamic IP
address through DHCP, access to the cluster could be
terminated and become unavailable if the DHCP server
goes down or goes offline.
