      Good afternoon,

      I'm Watching que the carp / dhcp is getting normal state ( Fail group ) instead of peer -down or wait -recovery on the slave. With this dhcp master and slave are active distributing IP for the network.
      Any solution for this?

      Thankyou

        That is expected behavior. When the two units have properly configured DHCP servers, they both hand out leases and they share lease information. They each agree on a portion of the address space to serve.

        The above assumes you have filled in the "Failover Peer IP" on the master (and that it has been copied to the secondary during config sync). If you left that out, then filling it in will correct the problem.
