Hi,
Would also be useful for LNS purposes, but kea would first need the
ability to bind ppp interfaces reliably (when I tried this it tended to
crash).
I've implemented a dhcpv6proxy module for pppd (upstreamed) to work
around this.
Kind regards,
Jaco

I haven’t seen any mention of this in any open tickets from what I
could see, but I would think it would be nice to have the ability to
add/edit/delete interfaces from the interfaces-config interfaces list
via the api and/or the kea-ctrl-agent. I am trying to use kea in
combination with stork for a dhcp server solution and I want to be
able to adjust the list of interfaces through the stork management
software, or perhaps have the list generated.
The use case I would imagine is something like this: kea is installed
on a server, but it is not known at the time of configuration what all
interfaces are installed, and or what IP’s will be assigned to those
interfaces yet. Now the server is installed, and I am managing the
server’s configuration through the stork interface ( which uses the
kea control api) and then I look at the available interfaces with
their IPs, and select which ones I want kea to use. Additionally,
perhaps later a new interface is installed or an ip is changed, and
one of the interfaces in that interfaces list needs to be added or
updated.
Currently, it requires me to go to that server and manually modify the
kea-dhcp configuration file’s list of available interfaces, then
assign some of those interfaces to pools/subnets. I would think it
would be a good feature to have to be able to manage this through an
api interface or through the kea-ctrl-agent ( and then open it up to
be configured for stork to manage).
Does this make sense as a feature to have? I would think it would go
in either kea-ctrl-agent or stork-agent.
Thanks,
Zachary Noble
