+VyOS provides High Availability support for DHCP server. DHCP High
+Availability can act in two different modes:
+
+* **Active-active**: both DHCP servers will respond to DHCP requests. If
+  ``mode`` is not defined, this is the default behavior.
+
+* **Active-passive**: only ``primary`` server will respond to DHCP requests.
+  If this server goes offline, then ``secondary`` server will take place.
+
+DHCP High Availability must be configured explicitly by the following
+statements on both servers:
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server high-availability mode [active-active
