      Hi all,

      I have two pfSense running in HA however I set DHCP IP allocation based on MAC addresses so I have quite a few entries on the master node I would like to replicate on the backup node acting as failover DHCP server.

      Is there an easy way to move the data to the backup node? I am not sure which file to grab from CLI to copy over to the backup node and be taken into consideration from a configuration perspective.

      Thanks.

        If you setup XMLRPC config sync those should all be carried over automatically. If they are not, you may have some other setup error, such as interfaces not being defined in the exact same order on both units.
