Hello Jan, Thanks for your inquiry. Kea 1.6.0 release will include a new feature, Config Backend, which will allow for storing global DHCP parameters, DHCP option definitions, shared networks and subnets in the MySQL database. This is not yet documented because we're currently working on the actual code. The Kea 1.6.0 release is expected in the summer.
If you're looking at the Kea 1.5.0 version, it indeed includes many tables, but those tables are unused by this version. If you're interested in the Config Backend design, it is available here: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/wikis/designs/configuration%20in%20db%20design Marcin Siodelski DHCP Software Engineer, ISC On 05/05/2019 01:45, Jan Sielemann wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'm relatively new to KEA.
