Hi,
I have a Windows DHCP server and two Cisco 3850 switches.
I need to achieve redundancy between the DHCP server and core switches in case of a failure of one core switch.
What should I configure to make DHCP server redundant?
Best regards,
Melanka
P.S - Sorry for my poor English :)

Hi there,
Lookup into NIC teaming with LACP for the version of MS that you are using. Assuming your 3850's are stacked together, configure a port-channel with a member link connected to each switch into your MS server/ ESXi host.

- Of course this could also be looked from the viewpoint of redundant DHCP services or else what if the
DHCP server itself fails ? I am not commercially biased but as a practical example I only mention that, on our Intranet, we are using an Infoblox HA-pair in 2 separate data centers for redundant DHCP servicing (e.g.).
