    Hi,
    I switch to Kea this weekend to test it and it doesn't start.

    I have this error in the logs:

    ERROR [kea-dhcp4.dhcp4.0x56d2a612000] DHCP4_INIT_FAIL failed to initialize Kea server: configuration error using file '/usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf': option data does not match option definition (space: dhcp4, code: 42): Failed to convert string to address 'time.windows.com': Invalid argument (/usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf:377:33)

    Just before the test, I updated to 23.09.1.

    Do you have this error too ?

    Thanks

      @PepperDeb I think there was a thread a few weeks ago about time servers needing to use an IP address…try changing that option.

      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.
