hi,
we plan to implement DHCP server farm in our network. Currently , there
are there problems burning my head. could anybody
do some help?
1. How to set up DHCP server farm with high availability?
It's required to set up DHCP server with 99.999% available.
To our experience, this needs to set up DHCP server on two sites and
syncronize their content in real time.
Beside this , we hope there should be as less modification as possible
on edge router when one DHCP server is down.
should anycast architecture helpful ? or should we just set up two dhcp
servers on two sites and sync. with ISC DHCPD?
is there any other method for fail-over and high availability?
2. How to set up accouting and authentication with DHCP?
Regulation and content based pricing is demanded. So, we plan to
authenticate customer and accouting on their usage.
In previous list post, someone said Juniper could do radius before DHCP.
Does this mean Juniper could authenticate
user with radius (username/password) before DHCP ? Is there anyway to
collect user traffic under DHCP ?
3. Someone said PPPOE is not good for customer looking for long time online ,
DHCP is an good option. But, to my understanding
DHCP is just good for those looking for easy-transfer to IPv6 , because
pppoe could also make user on line as long as possible.
Is there any reference on DHCP server consideration on 4-to-6 migration?
