In reading https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.0/arm/hooks.html#multi-threaded-configuration-ha-mt, you still configure the “url” directive of the HA hook with single URL for control commands even when using HA+MT mode with http-dedicated-listener = true. Thus the URL would need to be pointed to an IP address (or hostname that resolves) of that server and is routable between the two HA nodes. I’ve not used Kea in with http-dedicated-listener, but assuming you can use any IP address on the host. Should be able to use any one of addresses you have for that server.
Not sure I understand your question. Are you concerned if using an URL w/ single IP address, that the address or interface may fail on the server? > On Oct 18, 2023, at 10:15 AM, Kraishak Mahtha <kraishak....@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Rick, > > Thanks for your response and explanation but I a using the kea-dhcp with (HA > + MT) mode hence I will be not using the kea-control agent in my regular use > case, so the IPs for the URLs will be of interface IP address but as said if > we have different listening interfaces ......I am a bit confused about the > configuration. > > Thanks > Kraishak > > On Mon, Oct 16, 2023 at 9:09 PM Rick Frey <grib...@gmail.com > <mailto:grib...@gmail.com>> wrote: >> You can have different number of listening interfaces for HA pair (assuming >> they are able to receive requests for all subnets).
