Hi Group, I have 2 DHCP servers and I have defined both the IP helper addressess in our routers Now, if a client quieries for an IP, which of the servers will respond first? The problem I have is we have defined one subnet in DHCP Server and not in the other. When this user is querying for an IP , he is not getting a response. interface Ethernet0 ip address 10.X.X.X 255.255.0.0 ip helper-address 10.X.1.X ip helper-address 10.X.1.Y The said subnet is defined in the DHCP server 10.102.1.Y but, still there is no response. when the client requests. The main reason we have 2 DHCP servers is for redundancy. Please note that they are independant of each other . Does this mean that , when the client is requesting, the router first forwards to the first DHCP server and since it is not getting a response , is dropping it?
