   * Datasheet figures for DHCP LPS are based on full DORA with no ping before offer or DDNS.
   * Reporting of actual LPS being served is based on ACKs to cover renews.
+===== Moving Leases =====
+If you update a subnet to use a different DHCP server, the existing leases will not move until they renew. If the server that issued the lease is no longer valid (because you forced it over to member2) than it shouldn't respond at the T1 timer, and should renew on the new server when it sends a discover at the T2 timer.
+If the servers are in a failover pair and you are changing the balancing, you have to wait until the MCLT expires to take effect.

+Fixed Address Lease. Without this feature enabled, there is no logging of leases assigned to fixed addresses and they cannot be tracked.
 ===== Primary VS Secondary =====
 If you have a DHCP Fail-over Association (FOA), one member will be "primary" and the other "secondary". For users, it makes no difference which is which assuming that the admin is following best-practice and using balanced distribution for the FOA. MAC address hash is used to determine which server responds.
