Re: [Kea-users] dhcp4 server stops responding to a device

I was using isc-dhcp and had this behaviour too: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp/-/issues/177 I switched to kea-dhcp4 and it fixed it. I've since done a distro upgrade and it's gone flaky again. I've no idea how to diagnose signal quality from the data I can get from the wiser

For what it's worth, I also have a wiser thermostat and hand out a static IP with kea. No issues here. No bootp as far as I know, and any historical unreliability has been signal-related. Happy to replicate any tests (dhcpdump etc.) on my sort-of-working environment. Andrew On Tue, 16 Jan

I wonder, if this was the case, would it work at all ? This started misbehaving (having worked reliably) on 01/01/2024 – and has been steadily getting more unreliable. From: Kea-users On Behalf Of Dan Oachs Sent: 16 January 2024 14:59 To: Kea user's list Subject: Re: [Kea-users] dhcp4 server

fantastic and thanks for confirming. we have very static network and only new DT are added to our network when replaced or for a new user. this along with dhcp - using this https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/wikis/docs/editing-host-reservations - it should work. regards, michael On Tue,

If I understand what you are doing correctly, yes, it will work. I am running a kea server the same way. All the configuration is in the config files and the host reservations are in the MySQL database. --Dan On Tue, Jan 16, 2024 at 9:18 AM mtint hpc wrote: > Hi All, > > I am interested in

[Kea-users] dhcp4 config file and ip reservation

2024-01-16 Thread mtint hpc
Hi All, I am interested in utilizing mariadb as the backend for host reservations, without the need for a dhcp pool. The subnet and other relevant information will still be stored in the dhcp4 configuration file. I believe that using a database will not hinder kea from utilizing the defined

Is that device using BOOTP instead of DHCP by any chance? If so, you might need the Bootp kea hook library. But that's just a guess. --Dan On Tue, Jan 16, 2024 at 6:08 AM Gavin Davenport wrote: > I have a “Wiser smart hub” > https://wiser.draytoncontrols.co.uk/smart-heating-kits > > > >

I have a "Wiser smart hub" https://wiser.draytoncontrols.co.uk/smart-heating-kits This is basically a central heating timer with a wifi adapter. I can't set a static IP on it so it is dependent on working DHCP (and wifi) to stay connected to the network. I'm seeing the kea-dhcp server not
