Description

Actual configuration node for dhcp-server failvor in 1.4 and 1.5 looks like this:

vyos@dhcp-sag-main# set service dhcp-server failover 
Possible completions:
   name                 Peer name used to identify connection
   remote               IPv4 remote address used for connectio
   source-address       IPv4 source address used to initiate connection
   status               Failover hierarchy

vyos@dhcp-sag-main# set service dhcp-server failover

And behavior is quite different in both of the:

VyOS 1.4: is an active-active setup, where both server will attend request
VyOS 1.5: is an active-passive setup, when primary server will attend all the request.

Also, the word failover tends to define an active-passive setup.
So, this task is focus on re-naming failover node, so later inside such node we can define appropriate mode.

Intended new structure:

vyos@dhcp-sag-main# set service dhcp-server high-availability
Possible completions:
   name                 Peer name used to identify connection
   remote               IPv4 remote address used for connectio
   source-address       IPv4 source address used to initiate connection
   status               Failover hierarchy

      
[edit]
vyos@dhcp-sag-main# set service dhcp-server high-availability

Once this is implemented, we could add mode leafnode, to define active-active or active-passive configuration.
