Please can anybody confirm my understanding of this one .......
Scenario is simply this. Two routers R1 and R2 on the same ethernet segment. R1 is handing out dhcp adressess to clients. Under normal circumstances clients should use R1 as the default router. However if R1 goes down, clients that already have a valid dhcp lease, should use R2 as the default router.
Will the config below achieve this :
ip dhcp pool VLANX
default-router R1-IP-Addr R2-IP-Addr (..... up to a max of 8 addresses)
(other dhcp lines removed)
In other words, does the client take the 1st address as its prefered gateway, followed by the 2nd if the 1st isn't available, and so on until it finds one which exists?
Thanks,
Chris.
