kea-dhcp6 − DHCPv6 server in Kea
kea−dhcp6 [−v] [−V] [−W] [−d] [−c config−file] [−t config−file] [−p server−port−number] [−P client−port−number]
The kea−dhcp6 daemon provides the DHCPv6 server implementation.
The arguments are as follows:
|
−v |
Displays the version. |
|||
|
−V |
Displays the extended version. |
|||
|
−W |
Displays the configuration report. |
|||
|
−d |
Enables the debug mode with extra verbosity. |
−c config−file
Specifies the configuration file with the configuration for the DHCPv6 server. It may also contain configuration entries for other Kea services.
−t config−file
Checks the configuration file and reports the first error, if any. Note that not all parameters are completely checked; in particular, service and control channel sockets are not opened, and hook libraries are not loaded.
−T config−file
Checks the configuration file and reports the first error, if any. It performs extra checks beyond what −t offers, such as establishing database connections (for the lease backend, host reservations backend, configuration backend, and forensic logging backend), loading hook libraries, parsing hook−library configurations, etc. It does not open UNIX or TCP/UDP sockets, nor does it open or rotate files, as any of these actions could interfere with a running process on the same machine.
−p server−port−number
Specifies the server port number (1−65535) on which the server listens. This is useful for testing purposes only.
−P client−port−number
Specifies the client port number (1−65535) to which the server responds. This is useful for testing purposes only.
Kea comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers all aspects of running the Kea software − compilation, installation, configuration, configuration examples, and much more. Kea also features a Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea can print with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea distribution. The Kea documentation is available at https://kea.readthedocs.io.
Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide, available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.
The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.
There are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project. kea−users (kea−users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while kea−dev (kea−dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective contributors, and other advanced users. Both lists are available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best−effort support on both of those lists.
ISC provides professional support for Kea services. See https://www.isc.org/kea/ for details.
The b10−dhcp6 daemon was first coded in June 2011 by Tomek Mrugalski.
In mid−2014, Kea was decoupled from the BIND 10 framework and became a standalone DHCP server. The DHCPv6 server binary was renamed to kea−dhcp6. Kea 1.0.0 was released in December 2015.
