[Kea-users] lease has empty hostname for client with reservation

[Kenneth Topp]

  Hello,

I'm currently using kea 1.6.0 with mysql backend, and ddns configured.

I have a client that doesn't supply hostname(12) or fqdn(81) or put 
12/81 in PRL so there is no hostname/fqdn exchanged during 
discover/offer/request/ack.

This client has a reservation with the hostname.  However has the 
hostname of "" (empty string).  Is there anyway to fix this?  It would 
make sense to me if a client doesn't care about hostname at all just to 
use what we have in the reservation.

For the curious, the client is a netgear switch (gs110tp) and it sends a 
rather sparse prl of options 1,3,6.

I'm happy to provide any more details, and would like any suggestions or 
recommendations on how to get the hostname set according to the 
reservation in the lease.

Thanks,

Ken
