Re: Getting Peer hold all free leases

Hi  Abdul Khader,

I have declared as follows:

Configuration file from primary
=========================
failover peer "peer-host" {
        primary;
        address 192.168.56.156;
        port 647;
        peer address 192.168.56.178;
        peer port 647;
        max-response-delay 30;
        max-unacked-updates 30;
        load balance max seconds 3;
        mclt 1800;
        split 128;
}
subnet 192.168.56.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        pool {
                failover peer "peer-host";
                range 192.168.56.5 192.168.56.54;
        }
                option domain-name "test.com";
                option routers 192.168.56.1;
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        }

Configuration file from failover
======================
failover peer "peer-host" {
        secondary;
        address 192.168.56.178;
        port 647;
        peer address 192.168.56.156;
        peer port 647;
        max-response-delay 30;
        max-unacked-updates 30;
        load balance max seconds 3;
}
subnet 192.168.56.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        pool {
                failover peer "peer-host";
                range 192.168.56.5 192.168.56.54;
        }
                option domain-name "test.com";
                option routers 192.168.56.1;
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        }

On the primary log it shows as :* total 50  free 0  backup 0*
*Aug 17 17:15:48 dhcp1 dhcpd[12130]: peer peer-host: Got POOLREQ, answering
negatively!  Peer may be out of leases or database inconsistent.*

but in the failover log it shows as
Aug 17 17:14:48 dhcp2 dhcpd[1902]: balancing pool bf05b0
192.168.56.0/24  *total
50  free 50  backup 0  lts -25  max-own (+/-)5 * (requesting peer
rebalance!)
Aug 17 17:14:48 dhcp2 dhcpd[1902]: balanced pool bf05b0 192.168.56.0/24  total
50  free 50  backup 0  lts -25  max-misbal 8
 pool response: 0 leases

because of some reason the pool is not getting balanced between the primary
and failover


Also I have a problem in tracking my thread previously from
*http://isc-dhcp-users
<http://isc-dhcp-users>* link I used to track and reply but now it is not
working, and tried searching the other links I found this
*https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/
<https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/> *to track but I cannot see a
reply option in that web page
