        I really wouldn't count on kea not being weird if your doing anything other than just serving IPs out of a pool..

        So can I deduct that I have a run of the mill networks so kea works fine for me ? ;)

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @Gertjan any network with a firewall is far from run of the mill ☺️ especially one running a new cutting edge kea dhcp server. Give yourself credit where credit is due.

            Is there a way to get back to ISC DHCP if I clicked to migrate to KEA? If not, then I will check if any OPTION can be set directly into files, I need it for WAPD.

              On that same page you can change back.

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                @SteveITS unfortunately I dismissed the banner and no other possible option found in the section. I'll workaround deploying another DHCP on another server while the module gets populated with more fields.

                  @omiwaaa this was just asked earlier today - you set it back in the same place you set it to kea..

                      Hi,
                      I have 2 different subnets LAN and OPT1. I have a laptop, which has static IP address defined in both subnets, for lan the ip is 192.168.2.20, and for opt1, the ip is 192.168.3.20.

                      I have removed the client identifier in both subnets. Is there any work around for such scenario or I am missing something,
                      I have posted it in separate in topic before, hoping if somebody else ran in the same issue, but haven't heard anything
                      thanks,

                      I got the same error as you, and in my case it seemed to be that i had the same mac-addresses entered in "MAC Deny" on 2 different vlan-interfaces.
                      Fired up a VM and did the same settings and got the same result.

                      when i deleted the mac-addresses from 1 vlan-interface kea-dhcp worked again.

                      in this situation in the config file "/usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf" the class is indeed being defined 2 times.

                      i assume this is a bug, but if someone else could confirm...

                        You want to report/confirm a bug in a feature that is listed as not supported yet, in the preview release?
