Hi All,

I'm currently using UDP DHCP relay on M4300-52G-PoE+ switch to point to a DHCP server in our network per VLAN interfcae, server itself is Windows 2012R2 VM. DHCP works perfectly fine.

Now, let's say I want to add another DHCP server for redundancy. Does anyone know if it is possible to have primary and secondary UDP DHCP relays? It seems I can add another entry for relay with a different DHCP server IP address, but it's not clear how it will prioritize (or load balance) DHCP requests between servers? I guess the goal is to use one DHCP server as primary and another one as a backup in case if primary is not responding.

Both Windows DHCP server will be setup in failover.

Thanks!
