The KEA server fails to start and the following is logged:

Sep 29 10:23:34 kea-dhcp4 58513 ERROR [kea-dhcp4.dhcp4.0x540aa12000] DHCP4_INIT_FAIL failed to initialize Kea server: configuration error using file '/usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf': the 'hw-address' and 'client-id' are mutually exclusive (/usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf:78:21)

I've looked at the referenced .conf file and the structure seems a bit odd. I'm reluctant to post it in public but am prepared to share it privately with developers if needed.

There is something broken with deprecated server too. Mine looses all leases as well. Further testing needed, currently trying to install latest snapshot.

Edit: 23.09.a.20230929.2350 works fine with ISC DHCP (Deprecated)

@tedquade said in KEA server fails to start:

Try to remove all client id's on static configured clients. I have now it up and running without it configured.

@w0w That did the trick!
