My 4100 has survived almost one hour on it so far

I'll try it tonight, nothing like a BE to recover things in case it goes south..

Just updated my DEC740 10 minutes ago and it's still working :) ... and my KEA-DHCP crash issue seems solved.

So far so good on my Watchguard M400..

Installed today, so far so good on my SG-4100.
Nice to see that one of my aliases was automatically renamed due to a reserved keyword, wireguard.
Most smooth update so far.

Tested on spare XG7100. Unfortunately latency bug started in 23.01 for 7100 model is still not resolved.

There is something weird with the ZFS widget.

Just did, closed and added the widget again but the problem persists.

I also noticed this ZFS widget issue after upgrade 24.03 -> 24.11-BETA:

        The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable.

Yup that is fixed. It will be in the next public build.

I make extensive use of ISC DHCP DNS Resolver -> section Host Overrides, in which various local services have a parent domain of:

business.com (e.g. s3.business.com)
family.com (e.g. nextcloud.family.com)
others simply to the default home domain (e.g. static DHCP nodes).

The business and family domains are of course redacted in this example. The original domains are however owned by me. I use this feature mainly, amongst others, in combination with HAProxy.

It is still unclear (or I'm not sure up until now) if the host overrides feature is fully supported by Kea within this 24.11-BETA release?

stephenw10

You mean registering dhcp leases in the Resolver? That does work with Kea in 24.11.

I'm not really sure how that relates to host overrides though?

I think you've confused DHCP Server with DNS Resolver, which are different things.

rle

Thanks for the replies. Appreciated!

I'm referring to this page/link with the displayed message:

which I interpret as valid for this whole page. Therefore my question earlier regarding the subsection on this page titled Host Overrides. I myself find it unclear what parts exactly are related to 'ISC DHCP'.

rle

Redacted example of the Host Overrides:

@rle I have only three host overrides but it does work just fine with KEA as DHCP server.

@rle Yeah I don’t know why the Kea/DHCP deprecation notice is on the DNS page. It’s basically unrelated in my opinion. I’ve always thought it should be on the DHCP server page, or all pages if having everyone read it was the goal.

The closest overlap off the top of my head is probably the setting to register DHCP leases in DNS. Which didn’t work in past Kea versions.
