Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure failover peer name and IP on primary server
DHCP failover uses a primary-standby relationship. Configure the primary server first with a failover peer, then the standby with the same peer name and IP, and finally enable the pool on both. The servers negotiate roles and start lease synchronization.

Variation 1. Drag and drop the steps of DHCP failover configuration between primary and standby into the correct order, from first to last.
medium- ✓ A.Configure primary server with failover peer and standby IP
- ✓ B.Configure standby server with failover peer and primary IP
- ✓ C.Enable failover on primary; negotiation begins
- ✓ D.Standby enters partner-down state and synchronizes
- ✓ E.Both servers become active and share lease database
Why A: DHCP failover requires both servers to be configured with the same scope and failover parameters. First, configure the primary server with the failover peer name and IP address of the standby. Then, configure the standby server with the same peer name and the primary's IP. Enable the failover on the primary, which starts the negotiation. The standby then enters partner-down state until it synchronizes. Finally, both servers become active and share lease information.
