The following configuration is on two routers running version 15 IOS do not have the same group name in each device nor a configuration in the standby group with a name at all and yet they appear to know about each other from a helper address point of view.
I would like to understand how they know about the group even though they have different names and no standby name at all.
Can anyone help please?
