Let's say you have 2 routers on an ethernet network, and both of them are
running a dhcp server for the same network. As far as I know, whichever
router responds with an address first is the one that the client is going to
take. Is it safe to say that the ping characteristic of the dhcp server on
the router is enough to assume that the 2 routers will not assign
overlapping addresses? I want to make sure that if I come across a
situation in the lab where I decide to use this I can do it knowing that it
would work in the real world. Or is there a way to configure each router to
hand out half of the addresses so there is no overlap, and then configure it
so that if one router can't fulfill the request it relays the request to the
other router? Thanks.
