Hi All,
I am trying to use kea-DHCPv6 in my local lab, and I observed that if I
don't place the line interface in subnet 6 section, it is not working and
not able to get lease even though I added the interface on global section
Configuration snippet:
{
"Dhcp6": {
"interfaces-config": {
"interfaces": ["ens192"] # The network interface the DHCPv6 server
listens on
},
"multi-threading": {
"packet-queue-size": 28,
"enable-multi-threading": true,
"thread-pool-size": 4
},
"lease-database": {
"name": "/XXXXX/XXXXXX/XXXXX/XXXX/dhcp6.leases",
"type": "memfile", # In-memory lease database (useful for testing)
"persist": true # Save leases to disk
},
"subnet6": [
{
"subnet": "2001:470:edb5:200::/64", # The subnet from which
addresses are allocated
# "interface": "ens192",
"pools": [
{"pool": "2001:470:edb5:200::2-2001:470:edb5:200::15"},
{"pool": "2001:470:edb5:200::3e-2001:470:edb5:200::51"},
{"pool": "2001:470:edb5:200::52-2001:470:edb5:200::65"}
],
"preferred-lifetime": 600,
"valid-lifetime": 1200,
"option-data": [
{
"name": "dns-servers",
"data": "2001:470:edb5:200::23" # Override DNS servers for
this subnet
},
{
"name": "domain-search",
"data": "tester.com"
}
]
}
]
}
}
In the logs I am getting are as below:
2025-02-19 11:48:26.576 DEBUG [kea-dhcp6.packets/2086321.139784175461952]

type=39(CLIENT_FQDN), flags: (N=1, O=0, S=0),
domain-name='ddddddd-lenovo-zzzz.' (full)
No relays traversed.
Q)
1)Is it mandatory to add the interface line in every subnet6 section,
unlike subnet4
2)If that is mandatory, how can I use multiple subnets? Let's say I have
one more network range using the same DHCPv6 appliance, but I don't have
any interface on the box. How can we use that
Can someone who is familiar with such setups and has faced similar issues
please guide me?
Thanks in Advance
