[Kea-users] free text parameter under each subnet

[itay cohen]

actually user-context is perfect for me,
i tried the example in the admin guide,

but when i use it i get an error:
ERROR [kea-dhcp4.dhcp4/20619] DHCP4_INIT_FAIL failed to initialize Kea
server: configuration error using file '/usr/local/etc/kea/kea.conf':
/usr/local/etc/kea/kea.conf:126.4-17: got unexpected keyword "user-context"
in subnet4 map.

                { "subnet": "10.0.0.0/24",
                        "id": 3001,
                        "pools": [ { "pool": "10.0.0.10 -  10.0.0.99" } ] ,
*                        "user-context": { "color": "red" },*
                        "relay": { "ip-address": "10.0.0.1" },
                        "option-data": [ { "name": "routers", "data":
"10.0.0.1"  } ],
                        "renew-timer": 200,
                        "rebind-timer": 400,
                        "valid-lifetime": 600
                },

please advise,
thank you
