Description
The Add-DhcpServerv4Failover cmdlet adds a new IPv4 failover relationship to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server service. The first parameter set adds a failover relationship with load balance mode. The second parameter set adds the failover relationship in hot-standby mode.
This cmdlet creates the failover relationship on both of the DHCP server services with the specified parameters. The ScopeId parameter value specified on the source DHCP server service, or local computer running the DHCP server service is identically setup on the partner DHCP server service.
If the SharedSecret parameter is specified, message digest authentication will be automatically turned on for the newly created failover relationship.
By default, user confirmation will be sought if the SharedSecret parameter is specified.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\> Add-DhcpServerv4Failover -ComputerName dhcpserver.contoso.com -Name SFO-SIN-Failover -PartnerServer dhcpserver2.contoso.com -ScopeId 10.10.10.0,20.20.20.0 -SharedSecret "sEcReT"
This example creates a load balance, or active-active, failover relationship between the DHCP server services running on the computers named dhcpserver.contoso.com and dhcpserver2.contoso.com with the scopes 10.10.10.0 and 20.20.20.0 present on the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com added to the failover relationship. These scopes will be created on the partner DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver2.contoso.com as part of the failover relationship creation. Message authentication is enabled for the server-to-server message exchange with the specified shared secret.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\>Add-DhcpServerv4Failover -ComputerName dhcpserver.contoso.com -Name SFO-SIN-Failover -PartnerServer dhcpserver2.contoso.com -ServerRole Standby -ScopeId 10.10.10.0,20.20.20.0
This example creates a hot standby, or active-passive, failover relationship between the DHCP server services running on the computers named dhcpserver.contoso.com and dhcpserver2.contoso.com with the scopes 10.10.10.0 and 20.20.20.0 present on the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com added to the failover relationship. These scopes will be created on the partner DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver2.contoso.com as part of the failover relationship creation. The DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com will be the standby DHCP server service and the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver2.contoso.com will be the active DHCP server service in the failover relationship.
EXAMPLE 3
PS C:\>Add-DhcpServerv4Failover -ComputerName dhcpserver.contoso.com -Name SFO-SIN-Failover -PartnerServer dhcpserver2.contoso.com -ScopeId 10.10.10.0,20.20.20.0 -LoadBalancePercent 70 -MaxClientLeadTime 2:00:00 -AutoStateTransition $true -StateSwitchInterval 2:00:00
This example creates a load balance, or active-active, failover relationship between the DHCP server services running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com and dhcpserver2.contoso.com with the scopes 10.10.10.0 and 20.20.20.0 present on the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com added to the failover relationship. These scopes will be created on the partner DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver2.contoso.com as part of the failover relationship creation. 70% of the client requests will be served by DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com and 30% by the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver2.contoso.com. The maximum client lead time for the failover relationship is set to 2 hours. The automatic state transition from the COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTED state to the PARTNER DOWN state is turned on and the timer for automatic state transition is set to 2 hours.
EXAMPLE 4
PS C:\>Add-DhcpServerv4Failover -ComputerName dhcpserver.contoso.com -Name SFO-SIN-Failover -PartnerServer dhcpserver2.contoso.com -ScopeId 10.10.10.0,20.20.20.0 -ReservePercent 10 -MaxClientLeadTime 2:00:00 -AutoStateTransition $true -StateSwitchInterval 2:00:00
This example creates a hot standby, or Active-Passive, failover relationship between the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com and dhcpserver2.contoso.com with the scopes 10.10.10.0 and 20.20.20.0 present on the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com added to the failover relationship. These scopes will be created on the partner DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver2.contoso.com as part of the failover relationship creation. The DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver2.contoso.com will be standby DHCP server service and the DHCP server service running on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com will be the active DHCP server service in the failover relationship. 10% of the free IP addresses in the scopes will be reserved for the standby DHCP server service. The maximum client lead time for the failover relationship is set to 2 hours. The automatic state transition from the COMMUNICATED INTERUPTED state to the PARTNER DOWN state is turned on and the timer for automatic state transition is set to 2 hours.
