Hi, A failover peer can be added later. You can start with no HA configuration and add it later. Please note that you should plan to do it during a maintenance window, however, as leases will need to be synced between the two and DHCP services will be stopped during this time. If you have a lot of leases, this process can take a few seconds or even minutes depending.
