Kea DHCPv4 crashing Netgate 4100
-
I just redid my home network as I got 2Gbps Internet and my 3100 wasn't cutting it. So I had a 4100 laying around.
kea-dhcp4 stopped working today, and the service will not start. I made no changes since it was running last. I have 23.09.1.
My primary WAN port is actually LAN4 because it is 2.5Gb connected to my modem which has a 2.5Gb port. LAN1 is my lan and the backup internet is on WAN1. I have 4 vlans. Wifi, Work, IOIT & Kids. DHCP sends everything out from the firewall. I am de-servering my house. I don't feel like paying the power bills, I have datacenters anyway to put labs.

I wonder if the built in storage just died. I am afraid to reboot it.

Update: reboot worked... However it was stressful. Not sure what caused that. Gives me pause if kea is ready for production on pfSense. I enabled it to get rid of the warning. Maybe should have held off on the warning until Kea was feature-parity and production-ready.
