Hello @ALAHMADI, TURKI YOUSEF S

DHCP Failover has different modes, and they depend on the usage and resilience of service that you want to provide. The next Microsoft article describes the most used ones, explaining their capabilities and architecture, so you can decide which one is more convenient based on your needs:
