# This is an example configuration file for DHCPv6 server in Kea # that showcases how to do host reservations. It is # assumed that one subnet (2001:db8:1::/64) is available directly # over ethX interface. A number of hosts have various combinations # of addresses and prefixes reserved for them. { "Dhcp6": { # 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", "lfc-interval": 3600 }, # This is pretty basic stuff, it has nothing to do with reservations. "preferred-lifetime": 3000, "valid-lifetime": 4000, "renew-timer": 1000, "rebind-timer": 2000, # Kea supports two types of identifiers in DHCPv6: hw-address (hardware/MAC address # of the client) and duid (DUID inserted by the client). When told to do so, Kea can # check for each of these identifier types, but it takes a costly database lookup # to do so. It is therefore useful from a performance perspective to use only # the reservation types that are actually used in a given network. "host-reservation-identifiers": [ "duid", "hw-address" ], # The following list defines subnets. Subnet, pools and interface definitions # are the same as in the regular scenario, without host reservations. # least subnet and pool entries.

Define several reservations, note that # they are all within the range of the pool of the dynamically # allocated address. The server will exclude the addresses from this # pool and only assign them to the client which has a reservation for # them. "reservations": [ # This is a simple host reservation. The host with DUID matching # the specified value will get an address of 2001:db8:1::100. { "duid": "01:02:03:04:05:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E", "ip-addresses": [ "2001:db8:1::100" ] }, # This is similar to the previous one, but this time the reservation is done # based on hardware/MAC address. The server will do its best to extract # the hardware/MAC address from received packets (see 'mac-sources' directive # for details). This particular reservation also specifies two extra options # to be available for this client. If there are options with the same code # specified in a global, subnet or class scope, the values defined at host level # take precedence. { "hw-address": "00:01:02:03:04:05", "ip-addresses": [ "2001:db8:1::101" ], "option-data": [ { "name": "dns-servers", "data": "3000:1::234" }, { "name": "nis-servers", "data": "3000:1::234" }], "client-classes": [ "special_snowflake", "office" ] }, # This is a bit more advanced reservation. The client with the specified # DUID will get a reserved address, a reserved prefix and a hostname. # This reservation is for an address that it not within the dynamic pool. # Finally, this reservation features vendor specific options for CableLabs, # which happen to use enterprise-id 4491. Those particular values will # be returned only to the client that has a DUID matching this reservation. { "duid": "01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0A", "ip-addresses": [ "2001:db8:1:cafe::1" ], "prefixes": [ "2001:db8:2:abcd::/64" ], "hostname": "foo.example.com", "option-data": [ { "name": "vendor-opts", "data": "4491" }, { "name": "tftp-servers", "space": "vendor-4491", "data": "3000:1::234" } ] } ] } ] }, # The following configures logging.
