new to kea, dealing with the following. long story short, kea server with up to 16 connected devices all powered by ethernet, so when the base unit running kea comes up, the "satellite" units come up, download firmware, reprogram themselves, at which point they reset themselves to come up running the just-downloaded firmware, and therein lies the problem.
as soon as a single satellite resets itself, it drops the link on that line, which causes kea to simply shut down. even if there are 16 attached satellites, the loss of a single link causes that, so you can imagine the bouncing up and down of the unfortunate kea server as each of the 16 units downloads its firmware, then resets itself, killing the server. obviously, once kea is down, it can't possibly monitor the state of the links. someone who claims to have a solution suggests that a "port state machine will start the KEA server" and that some other H/W signal will "be sent to port state machine to register to KEA hooks." i'm at a loss as to what this means, so the simpler question is, is there an obvious resolution to this? in short, how can one tweak kea to not shut down on simply losing a link? rday _______________________________________________ Kea-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/kea-users
