RE: DHCP Default Gateway

Am I incorrect in assuming that when DHCP gives out two default gates
that only clients capable of accepting two will work? Is there any kind
of internal mechanism built in to the dhcp code that will keep it from
sending a gateway that is down?

I tried the solution. but the dhcp pool always give the client the first
config IP as default router even the interface is down.

So I think the task ask you set up the priority for R1 in VRRP, and use
the
virtual IP as default-router in the dhcp pool.

Correct me if wrong.
