I'm trying to replace odhcpd, it was my favorite for a while but it's lack of support for options really disappointed me, and I decided to use isc-dhcp, but as I've read in ISC's website it is going to be replaced by kea so why not give it a shot? I installed kea and everything went fine, I learned how to use the config file for dhcp4 and managed to get it working!
My issue is with dhcp6.
My ISP hands out a /56 prefix through dhcpv6 and it changes every 24 hours. Odhcpd somehow changed the advertisements in lan as the prefix was changed in wan but I don't know how to do that in kea-dhcp6.
Any help or tips?
I've seen that @jeff uses kea for the posts where you/he mentions kea. So could you help me?
I haven't looked into this a lot and it has changed over the last couple of years. It doesn't look like you can easily modify leases without rewriting the config.
I looked at using a database, but I couldn't see running MySQL or Postgres to support this alone for a small network.
It may also be possible to do the equivalent through UCI commands -- last I was using kea under OpenWrt there was no UCI integration, but that was a while ago.
One of the primary reasons why odhcpd was written, instead of just using dnsmasq's IPv6 support, was to properly deal with changing dynamic prefixes - something a lot of consumer contracts are plagued with, but which is still utterly ignored by many DHCPv6 dæmons or routing advertisement solutions.
Still doesn't have.
Those are good options you provided but they don't seem scalable, and they will give a lot of problems ahahH
Yeah I've been noticing that, but odhcpd has a issue that you can't enable the "other configuration" flag without enabling the internal odhcpd DHCPv6 server, must submit this bug.
I've also submitted a feature request to the kea developers so that kea can adapt to the interfaces configurations.
Thanks for the help and sorry for the 1 month delay
