[Kea-users] free text parameter under each subnet

[Thomas Markwalder]

Hello Itay:

"user-context" is per pool not per subnet.   Our admin guide example is
incorrect.  Try this:

"pools": [ {
                "pool": "10.0.0.10 -  10.0.0.99",
*                "user-context": { "color": "red" }*
               } ] ,
*                     
*
Meanwhile, I'll create a ticket to update the doc.

Thanks,

Thomas
