[Kea-users] dhcp6 address assignment

[Marek Greško]

Hello,

I run into another problems with this. To simplify the migration I use global reservations. I have two definitions for that machine. One for ethernet adapter and one for wifi adapter. Unfortunately the DUID is the same with both interfaces so the kea-dhcp6 cannot start with that configuration. ISC DHCPD6 hed no problem with that and everything was working correctly. It was because I was able to define both mac address and duid. Since I defined different value for mac for wifi there was no conflict.

Probably the only one solution for this is to drop global reservations and switch to per subnet reservations?

Thanks

Marek

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.

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.
