The IPv6 address to use for the failover communication at the backup
server. The main server will connect to this address when opening
the TCP connection to the backup server. The backup server will
bind to this address on the listening socket. If both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses are configured, the IPv6 address will be used.
 
backup-pct 
 default = 50%
 
Controls the percentage of available addresses that the main
server sends to the backup server.  Set this value
on the main server.  If it is set on a backup server, it is
ignored (to enable copying of configurations).
Unless you explicitly set this value on a scope and you disable
load balancing, the value set here becomes the default value.
 
backup-server 
 
Controls the IPv4 address used for the failover protocol on the
backup server. If this value is unset, the address specified
for the backup cluster is used. Cisco recommends setting
this attribute only if the server is configured with
different interfaces for configuration management and clients
requests. Always configure the failover protocol with the
interface used to serve clients.  If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
are configured, the IPv6 addresses will be used.
 
dynamic-bootp-backup-pct 
 
Determines the percentage of available addresses that the
main server sends to the backup server for scopes on which dynamic
BOOTP is enabled.  If defined, it must be defined on
the main server.  If it is defined in a backup server, it is
ignored (to enable copying of configurations).  If it is not
defined at all or the value is 0, the "backup-pct" is
used instead.  This parameter is separate from "backup-pct"
because if dynamic BOOTP is enabled on a scope, a server
will never, even in PARTNER-DOWN state, grant leases on
addresses that are available to the other server because
they can never safely be assumed to be available again.
The MCLT has no meaning for dynamic BOOTP leases.
 
failover 
 default = true
 
Enables failover configuration. If you disable this attribute,
you turn off failover on attached subnets without changing
configuration fundamentals.
 
load-balancing 
 default = disabled
 
Determines whether load balancing (RFC 3074) is enabled on a failover
pair. The default is disabled. When enabled, the backup-pct is
ignored and the main and backup server evenly split the client
load and available leases for all scopes in the failover
relationship (that is, as if backup-pct were configured at 50%).
 
main 
(0)
 
Identifies the cluster with the main server for a failover pair.
 
main-ip6address 
 
The IPv6 address to use for the failover communication at the main
server. The main server will bind to this address when opening the
TCP connection to the backup server. The backup server will listen
for a connection from this address.  If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
are configured, the IPv6 addresses will be used.
 
main-server 
 
Controls the IPv4 address used for the failover protocol on the
main server. If this value is unset, the address specified
for the main cluster is used. Cisco recommends setting
this attribute only if the server is configured with
different interfaces for configuration management and clients
requests. Always configure the failover protocol with the
interface used to serve clients.  If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
