[Kea-users] kea-1.4.0 - HA, Stand-By Mode is not working [I have installed kea on VirtualBox]

[Rasmus Edgar]

Hi Saidarao,

kea-ctrl-agent is listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) by default, and 
this is why it is not reachable outside each server.

Try reconfiguring kea-ctrl-agent either to listen on 0.0.0.0 or the ip 
of the server itself.

server a:
/etc/kea/kea-ctrl-agent.conf

...

"Control-agent": {
     "http-host": "168.127.39.46",
     "http-port": 8080,

...

server b:
...

"Control-agent": {
     "http-host": "168.127.39.7",
     "http-port": 8080,

...

and restarting the kea-ctrl-agent service on each server afterwards.

Best regards,
Rasmus Edgar
