Hi Group

I understand when a router is configured as DHCP server it can assign a default router to hosts on its LAN. The router can also assign 7 additional gateways, how are they treated by the hosts.

Are they part of the leased addresses and hence a host would have 1-8 default gateways. Or if DHCP router notices one of the gateways it is assigning is down it would assign the next one part as part of the next lease. And in this case what happens to the hosts already assigned with the failed gateway.
