I got this error:

User's image

but the Predefined Options and values are the same. Any other suggestions?

From the main DHCP server:

User's image

and from the parent that I'm trying to make it a failover/backup:

    @Zunhui Han Thank you.

    You can add it according to your needs. This error is mainly because the predefined DHCP options are configured on the master server, but the same options are not available on the partner server. You only need to add the corresponding DHCP options on the partner server and restart the DHCP service.

    Solved it.
