// This is an example configuration file for the DHCPv4 server in Kea. // It demonstrates simple configuration of the options for a subnet. { "Dhcp4": { // Kea is told to listen on ethX interface only. "interfaces-config": { "interfaces": [ "ethX" ] }, // We need to specify the the database used to store leases. As of // September 2016, four database backends are supported: MySQL, // PostgreSQL, Cassandra, and the in-memory database, Memfile. // We'll use memfile because it doesn't require any prior set up. "lease-database": { "type": "memfile" }, // Addresses will be assigned with a lifetime of 4000 seconds. "valid-lifetime": 4000, // Renew and rebind timers are commented out. This implies that options // 58 and 59 will not be sent to the client. In this case it is up to // the client to pick the timer values according to RFC2131. Uncomment the // timers to send these options to the client. // "renew-timer": 1000, // "rebind-timer": 2000, // Defining a subnet. There are 3 DHCP options returned to the // clients connected to this subnet. The first two options are // identified by the name. The third option is identified by the // option code. "subnet4": [ { "pools": [ { "pool": "192.0.2.10 - 192.0.2.200" } ], "subnet": "192.0.2.0/24", "interface": "ethX", // This is how option values are defined for this particular subnet. "option-data": [ // When specifying options, you typically need to specify // one of (name or code) and data. The full option specification // covers name, code, space, csv-format and data. // space defaults to "dhcp4" which is usually correct, unless you // use encapsulate options. csv-format defaults to "true", so // this is also correct, unless you want to specify the whole // option value as long hex string. For example, to specify // domain-name-servers you could do this: // { // "name": "domain-name-servers", // "code": 6, // "csv-format": "true", // "space": "dhcp4", // "data": "192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.2" // } // but it's a lot of writing, so it's easier to do this instead: { "name": "domain-name-servers", "data": "192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.2" }, // Note the Kea provides some of the options on its own. In // particular: // - IP address lease time (option 51) is governed by valid-lifetime // parameter, so you don't need to specify it as option. // - Subnet mask (option 1) is calculated automatically from the // subnet parameter specified for each "subnet4" entry. // - renewal-timer (option 58) is calculated from renew-timer // parameter // - rebind timer (option 59) is calculated from rebind-timer // parameter // For each IPv4 subnet you most likely need to specify at least // one router. { "name": "routers", "data": "192.0.2.1" }, // Typically people prefer to refer to options by their names, so they // don't need to remember the code names. However, some people like // to use numerical values. For example, option "domain-name" uses // option code 15, so you can reference to it either by // "name": "domain-name" or "code": 15. { "code": 15, "data": "example.org" }, // Options that take integer values can either be specified in // dec or hex format. Hex format could be either plain (e.g. abcd) // or prefixed with 0x (e.g. 0xabcd). { "name": "default-ip-ttl", "data": "0xf0" } ] } ] }, // The following configures logging. It assumes that messages with at least // informational level (info, warn, error and fatal) should be logged to stdout.
