The current documentation does not specify any information about the "dhcp_agents_per_network" configuration option in /etc/neutron/neutron.conf. Using this option, it is possible to have the scheduler automatically assign multiple DHCP agents to a tenant network, which provides high availability.
If that option is not set, you have to manually assign multiple DHCP agents to each network, which does not scale in terms of management.
Would it be possible to document this option here?

This option is currently listed in:
http://
however, the help text isn't very good:
dhcp_agents_
To fix this bug, I think we need two patches
1. a patch to neutron to fix the help text to better explain why/when you would alter this option
2. ensure the new networking guide provides detailed information in the agent configuration area
