[Kea-users] dhcp6 address assignment

[Marek Greško]

Hello,

I am in a phase of migration ISC DHCPD into kea and I am suffering several problems in ipv6 address assignment.

- I used to assign same ipv6 address for the same machine which was dial boot linux/windows. It was possible by assigning same ipv6 address to both DUIDs before. But in kea this is not allowed. I found out there is a possibility to assign ipv6 address by MAC address which was not possible in ISC DHCPD. I was very happy with that finding but fallen into second problem.
- The windows machine got 2 interfaces ethernet and wifi. I configured kea to assign one ipv6 address to the ethernet adapter and another one to the wifi adapter. But after investigating logs kea was receiving dhcp6 request over wifi using the ethernet adapter mac address. How is this possible? Is it possible the MAC address in DHCP does not match L2 MAC address? I did not sniff the request, yet. I decided to switch back to DUID assignment since this problem is worse than the previous.
- Maybe it would be possible to overcome the above problems if kea is able to match both DUID and MAC address, but it is not allowed in kea. I am ought to select one option only. Why?

Thanks

Marek

Thanks

Marek
