So the scenario I am trying to combat is if the switches in the primary office are still online but the Lync Servers and or the AudioCodes PBX goes down then the phones need to re-register to the backup pool at the DR site. If the switches are down at
the primary site then we aren't using phones anyway, we would have to use USB headsets for everyone or built in laptop speakers.
The way its configured now is the switch uses LLDP with a bootp helper pointing to our DHCP server at the primary site. I am wondering if I can configure the switch to have an additional DHCP bootp helper to point to our DR sites DHCP server. Obviously
I need to create the same scope settings there. The DR site can already talk to the VOIP vlan and ping it based on all the routing we did so I think that would be ok.
The other unknown i have is if I configure a second bootp server on the Juniper switch what is preventing phones from not going there until a failover event occurs, I would almost have to manually force the scope at the primary site to go offline. Or
manually configure the secondary helper when an outage occurs so its not ideal.
