Hi

Isc-dhcpd ignores dhcprequest from clients that come from an unknown segment. 
In the logs it looks like this:


DHCPREQUEST for 10.65.1.179 from MAC:ADDR via 10.65.0.1: ignored (unknown 
subnet).

What I get from kea-dhcp4 is this:


ERROR [kea-dhcp4.bad-packets/435270.139990395717376] DHCP4_PACKET_NAK_0001 
[hwtype=1 MAC:ADDR], cid=[MAC:ADDR], tid=0x52eec91a: failed to select a subnet 
for incoming packet, src 10.65.0.1, type DHCPREQUEST

ERROR [kea-dhcp4.bad-packets/435270.139990395717376] DHCP4_PACKET_NAK_0001 
[hwtype=1 MAC:ADDR], cid=[MAC:ADDR], tid=0x52eec91b: failed to select a subnet 
for incoming packet, src 10.65.0.1, type DHCPDISCOVER


Kea sends dhcpnak to clients from subnets it is not configured to serve. If the 
same client keeps coming back, it will not get an IP address. This is what is 
happening.
It would be very helpful if kea would ignore these requests, much like isc-dhcp 
does. Is it possible to configure this?

I am aware of dhcp helpers. There would be no such logs if we had dhcp helpers 
in our network. Currently, we don?t. Our network guys work (and the hardware 
vendor) work on it.

Thanks,
Philipp

Hi Philipp,

You would probably get more responses about kea on kea-users:
https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/kea-users

That being said, In your Kea configuration, do you have this?
"authoritative": true

If so, either remove it or explicitly set it false: "authoritative": false

See here for further details:
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.1/arm/dhcp4-srv.html#authoritative-dhcpv4-server-behavior

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
