    <title>Introduction</title>
    <para>
      BIND is the popular implementation of a DNS server, developer
      interfaces, and DNS tools.
      BIND 10 is a rewrite of BIND 9 and ISC DHCP.
      BIND 10 is written in C++ and Python and provides a modular
      environment for serving, maintaining, and developing DNS and DHCP.
      BIND 10 provides a EDNS0- and DNSSEC-capable authoritative
      DNS server and a caching recursive name server which also
      provides forwarding.
      It also provides experimental DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers.
    </para>

    <para>
      This guide covers BIND 10 version &__VERSION__;.
    </para>

    <section>
      <title>Supported Platforms</title>
      <para>
  BIND 10 builds have been tested on (in no particular order)
  Debian GNU/Linux 6 and unstable, Ubuntu 9.10, NetBSD 5,
  Solaris 10 and 11, FreeBSD 7 and 8, CentOS Linux 5.3,
  MacOS 10.6 and 10.7, and OpenBSD 5.1.

  It has been tested on Sparc, i386, and amd64 hardware
  platforms.

        It is planned for BIND 10 to build, install and run on
        Windows and standard Unix-type platforms.
      </para>
    </section>

    <section id="required-software">
      <title>Required Software at Run-time</title>

      <para>
        Running BIND 10 uses various extra software which may
        not be provided in some operating systems' default
        installations nor standard packages collections. You may
        need to install this required software separately.
        (For the build requirements, also see
        <xref linkend="build-requirements"/>.)
      </para>

      <para>
        BIND 10 requires at least Python 3.1
        (<ulink url="http://www.python.org/"/>).
        It also works with Python 3.2.
      </para>

      <para>
        BIND 10 uses the Botan crypto library for C++
        (<ulink url="http://botan.randombit.net/"/>).
        It requires at least Botan version 1.8.
      </para>

      <para>
        BIND 10 uses the log4cplus C++ logging library
        (<ulink url="http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/"/>).
        It requires at least log4cplus version 1.0.3.
<!-- TODO: It is recommended to use at least version .... -->
      </para>

      <para>
        The authoritative DNS server uses SQLite3
        (<ulink url="http://www.sqlite.org/"/>).
<!-- TODO: is this still required? -->
        It needs at least SQLite version 3.3.9.
      </para>

      <para>
        The <command>b10-ddns</command>, <command>b10-xfrin</command>,
        <command>b10-xfrout</command>, and <command>b10-zonemgr</command>
        components require the libpython3 library and the Python
        _sqlite3.so module (which is included with Python).
        Python modules need to be built for the corresponding Python 3.
      </para>

    <section id="starting_stopping">
      <title>Starting and Stopping the Server</title>

      <para>
        BIND 10 is modular.  Part of this modularity is
        accomplished using multiple cooperating processes which, together,
        provide the server functionality.  This is a change from
        the previous generation of BIND software, which used a
        single process.
      </para>

      <para>
        At first, running many different processes may seem confusing.
        However, these processes are started by running a single
	command, <command>bind10</command>.  This command starts
	a master process, <command>b10-init</command>, which will
	start other required processes and other processes when
	configured.  The processes that may be started have names
	starting with "b10-", including:

          In addition to the run-time requirements (listed in
          <xref linkend="required-software"/>), building BIND 10
          from source code requires various development include headers and

          <simpara>
            Some operating systems have split their distribution packages into
            a run-time and a development package.  You will need to install
            the development package versions, which include header files and
            libraries, to build BIND 10 from source code.

    <para>
      BIND 10 is started with the <command>bind10</command> command.
      It runs the <command>b10-init</command> daemon which
      starts up the required processes, and
      will also restart some processes that exit unexpectedly.
      <command>bind10</command> is the only command needed to start
      the BIND 10 system.
    </para>

    <para>
      After starting the <command>b10-msgq</command> communications channel,
      <command>b10-init</command> connects to it,
      runs the configuration manager, and reads its own configuration.
      Then it starts the other modules.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <command>b10-sockcreator</command>, <command>b10-msgq</command> and
      <command>b10-cfgmgr</command>
      services make up the core. The <command>b10-msgq</command> daemon
      provides the communication channel between every part of the system.
      The <command>b10-cfgmgr</command> daemon is always needed by every
      module, if only to send information about themselves somewhere,
      but more importantly to ask about their own settings, and
      about other modules. The <command>b10-sockcreator</command> daemon
      helps allocate Internet addresses and ports as needed for BIND 10
      network services.
    </para>

    <para>
      In its default configuration, the <command>b10-init</command>
      master process will also start up
      <command>b10-cmdctl</command> for administration tools to
      communicate with the system, and
      <command>b10-stats</command> for statistics collection.
      The DNS and DHCP servers are not started by default.

        The BIND 10 components use the <command>b10-msgq</command>

        The <command>b10-msgq</command> implements what is called the
        <quote>Command Channel</quote>.
        Processes intercommunicate by sending messages on the command
        channel.
        Example messages include shutdown, get configurations, and set
        configurations.
        This Command Channel is not used for DNS message passing.

        <title>General syntax of bindctl commands</title>
        The <command>bindctl</command> tool is an interactive
        command-line tool, with dynamic commands depending on the
        BIND 10 modules that are running. There are a number of
        fixed commands that have no module and that are always
        available.

        The general syntax of a command is

        <screen><userinput>&lt;module&gt; &lt;command&gt; <replaceable>[argument(s)]</replaceable></userinput></screen>

        For example, the Init module has a 'shutdown' command to shut down
        BIND 10, with an optional argument 'help':

        <screen>&gt; <userinput>Init shutdown help</userinput>
Command  shutdown 	(Shut down BIND 10)
		help (Get help for command)
This command has no parameters
        </screen>
        There are no mandatory arguments, only the optional 'help'.
    </section>

    <section id="bindctl_help">
        <title>Bindctl help</title>
        <command>help</command> is both a command and an option that is available to all other commands. When run as a command directly, it shows the available modules.
        <screen>&gt; <userinput>help</userinput>
usage: &lt;module name&gt; &lt;command name&gt; [param1 = value1 [, param2 = value2]]
Type Tab character to get the hint of module/command/parameters.
Type "help(? h)" for help on bindctl.
Type "&lt;module_name&gt; help" for help on the specific module.
Type "&lt;module_name&gt; &lt;command_name&gt; help" for help on the specific command.

Available module names:
<emphasis>(list of modules)</emphasis>
        </screen>

        When 'help' is used as a command to a module, it shows the supported commands for the module; for example:
        <screen>&gt; <userinput>Init help</userinput>
Module  Init 	Master process
Available commands:
    help        Get help for module.
    shutdown    Shut down BIND 10
    ping        Ping the Init process
    show_processes
            List the running BIND 10 processes
        </screen>

    And when added to a module command, it shows the description and parameters of that specific command; for example:
    <screen>&gt; <userinput>Auth loadzone help</userinput>
Command  loadzone 	((Re)load a specified zone)
		help (Get help for command)
Parameters:
    class (string, optional)
    origin (string, mandatory)
    </screen>

    </section>

    <section id="bindctl_command_arguments">
        <title>Command arguments</title>
        <simpara>
            Commands can have arguments, which can be either optional or
            mandatory. They can be specified by name
            (e.g. <command><replaceable>&lt;command&gt;</replaceable> <replaceable>&lt;argument name&gt;=&lt;argument value&gt;</replaceable></command>), or positionally,
            (e.g. <command><replaceable>&lt;command&gt;</replaceable> <replaceable>&lt;argument value 1&gt;</replaceable> <replaceable>&lt;argument value 2&gt;</replaceable></command>).
        </simpara>
        <simpara>
            <command><replaceable>&lt;command&gt;</replaceable> <replaceable>help</replaceable></command>
            shows the arguments a command supports and which of those are
            mandatory, and in which order the arguments are expected if
            positional arguments are used.
        </simpara>
        <simpara>
            For example, the <command>loadzone</command> command of the Auth
            module, as shown in the last example of the previous section, has
            two arguments, one of which is optional. The positional arguments in
            this case are class first and origin second; for example:
            <screen>&gt; <userinput>Auth loadzone IN example.com.</userinput></screen>
            But since the class is optional (defaulting to IN), leaving it out
            works as well:
            <screen>&gt; <userinput>Auth loadzone example.com.</userinput></screen>
        </simpara>
        <simpara>
            The arguments can also be provided with their names, in which
            case the order does not matter:
            <screen>&gt; <userinput>Auth loadzone origin="example.com." class="IN"</userinput></screen>
        </simpara>
    </section>

    <section id="bindctl_module_commands">
        <title>Module commands</title>
        Each module has its own set of commands (if any), which will only be
        available if the module is running. For instance, the
        Auth module has a <command>loadzone</command> command.
        The commands a module provides are documented in
        this guide in the section of that module or in the module's
        corresponding manual page.
    </section>

    <section>
        <title>Configuration commands</title>
        Configuration commands are used to view and change the configuration
        of BIND 10 and its modules. Module configuration is only shown if
        that module is running, but similar to commands, there are a number
        of top-level configuration items that are always available (for
        instance <varname>tsig_keys</varname> and
        <varname>data_sources</varname>).

        Configuration changes (set, unset, add and remove) are done locally
        first, and have no immediate effect. The changes can be viewed with
        <command>config diff</command>, and either reverted
        (<command>config revert</command>), or committed
        (<command>config commit</command>).
        In the latter case, all local changes are submitted
        to the configuration manager, which verifies them, and if they are
        accepted, applied and saved in persistent storage.

        When identifying items in configuration commands, the format is
        <screen><userinput>Module/example/item</userinput></screen>
        Sub-elements of names, lists and sets (see <xref linkend=
        "bindctl_configuration_data_types"/>) are separated with the '/'
        character, and list indices are identified with [<replaceable>&lt;index&gt;</replaceable>]; for example:

        <screen><userinput>Module/example/list[2]/foo</userinput></screen>

        <section id="bindctl_configuration_command_list">
        <title>List of configuration commands</title>
        The following configuration commands are available:

                When adding to a list, the command has one optional
                argument, a value to add to the list. The value must
                be in correct JSON and complete. When adding to a
                named set, it has one mandatory parameter (the name to
                add), and an optional parameter value, similar to when
                adding to a list. In either case, when no value is
                given, an entry will be constructed with default
                values.

                        Maps are (pre-defined) compound collections of other
                        elements of any other type. They are not usually
                        modified directly, but their elements are. Every
                        top-level element for a module is a map containing
                        the configuration values for that map, which can
                        themselves be maps again. For instance, the Auth
                        module configuration is a map containing the
                        elements '<varname>listen_on</varname>' (list) and '<varname>tcp_recv_timeout</varname>'
                        (integer). When changing one of its values, they can
                        be modified directly with <command>config set
                        Auth/tcp_recv_timeout 3000</command>.
                    </simpara>
                    <simpara>
                        Some map entries are optional. If they are, and
                        currently have a value, the value can be unset by
                        using either <command>config unset
                        <replaceable>&lt;item name&gt;</replaceable>
                        </command> or <command>config set
                        <replaceable>&lt;item name&gt;</replaceable>
                        null</command>.

                    <simpara>
                        Maps <emphasis>can</emphasis> be modified as a whole,
                        but using the full JSON representation of
                        the entire map to set.

                        Since this involves a lot of text, this is usually
                        not recommended.

                        Another example is the Logging virtual module, which
                        is, like any module, a map, but it only contains one
                        element: a list of loggers. Normally, an
                        administrator would only modify that list (or its
                        elements) directly, but it is possible to set the
                        entire map in one command; for example:
                        <command> config set Logging { "loggers": [] } </command>
                    </simpara>

                    <simpara>
                        A list is a compound list of other elements of the
                        same type. Elements can be added with <command>config
                        add <replaceable>&lt;list name&gt; [value]</replaceable></command>, and removed with
                        <command>config remove <replaceable>&lt;list name&gt; [value]</replaceable></command> or
                        <command>config remove <replaceable>&lt;list name&gt;</replaceable><replaceable>&lt;index&gt;</replaceable></command>.
                        The index is of the form <emphasis>square bracket, number,
                        square bracket</emphasis> (e.g.
                        <command>[0]</command>), and it immediately follows
                        the list name (there is no separator or space
                        between them). List indices start with 0 for the
                        first element.
                    </simpara>
                    <simpara>
                        For addition, if the value is omitted, an entry with
                        default values will be added. For removal, either
                        the index or the full value (in JSON format) needs
                        to be specified.
                    </simpara>
                    <simpara>
                        Lists can also be used with
                        <command>config set</command>,
                        but like maps, only by specifying the
                        entire list value in JSON format.

                    <simpara>
                        For example, this command shows the port number used for the second element of the list <varname>listen_on</varname> in the Auth module:
                        <command> config show Auth/listen_on[1]/port</command>

                        Named sets are similar to lists, in that they are
                        sets of elements of the same type, but they are not
                        indexed by numbers, but by strings.

                        Values can be added with

                        where 'string' is the name of the element. If 'value'
                        is ommitted, default values will be used. Elements
                        can be removed with <command>config remove
                        <replaceable>&lt;item
                        name&gt; &lt;string&gt;</replaceable></command>

                    <simpara>
                        Elements in a named set can be addressed similarly
                        to maps.

                        adding, showing, and then removing an element
                        can be done with the following three commands (note

                        The 'any' type is a special type that can have any

                        described in this chapter, there is no restriction
                        on which element types are used. This type is used
                        in places where different data formats could be
                        used. Element modification commands depend on the
                        actual type of the value. For instance, if the value
                        of an 'any' element is a list, <command>config add
                        </command> and <command>config remove</command> work
                        as for other lists.

        <title>The execute command</title>
        The <command>execute</command> command executes a set of commands,
        either from a file
        or from a pre-defined set. Currently, the only predefined set is
        <command>init_authoritative_server</command>, which adds
        <command>b10-auth</command>, <command>b10-xfrin</command>, and
        <command>b10-xfrout</command> to the set of components to be
        started by BIND 10. This
        pre-defined set does not commit the changes, so these modules do not
        show up for commands or configuration until the user enters
        <command>config commit</command> after
        <command>execute init_authoritative_server</command>. For example:

        <screen>&gt; <userinput>execute init_authoritative_server</userinput></screen>

        <screen>&gt; <userinput>execute file /tmp/example_commands</userinput></screen>

        The optional argument <command>show</command> displays the exact set of
        commands that would be executed; for example:

        <screen>&gt; <userinput>execute init_authoritative_server show</userinput>
!echo adding Authoritative server component
config add /Init/components b10-auth
config set /Init/components/b10-auth/kind needed
config set /Init/components/b10-auth/special auth
!echo adding Xfrin component
config add /Init/components b10-xfrin
config set /Init/components/b10-xfrin/address Xfrin
config set /Init/components/b10-xfrin/kind dispensable
!echo adding Xfrout component
config add /Init/components b10-xfrout
config set /Init/components/b10-xfrout/address Xfrout
config set /Init/components/b10-xfrout/kind dispensable
!echo adding Zone Manager component
config add /Init/components b10-zonemgr
config set /Init/components/b10-zonemgr/address Zonemgr
config set /Init/components/b10-zonemgr/kind dispensable
!echo Components added. Please enter "config commit" to
!echo finalize initial setup and run the components.
        </screen>

        The optional <command>show</command> argument may also be used when
        executing a script from a file; for example:

        <screen>&gt; <userinput>execute file /tmp/example_commands show</userinput></screen>

            Within scripts, you can add or remove modules with the normal
            configuration commands for <command>Init/components</command>.
            However, as module
            configuration and commands do not show up until the module is
            running, it is currently not possible to add a module and set
            its configuration in one script. This will be addressed in the
            future, but for now the only option is to add and configure
            modules in separate commands and execute scripts.

      <title>TSIG keys</title>

      <para>
        TSIG is a way to sign requests and responses in DNS. It is defined in
        RFC 2845 and uses symmetric cryptography to sign the DNS messages. If
        you want to make any use of TSIG (to authenticate transfers or DDNS,
        for example), you need to set up shared secrets between the endpoints.
      </para>

      <para>
        BIND 10 uses a global key ring for the secrets. It doesn't currently
        mean they would be stored differently, they are just in one place of
        the configuration.
      </para>

      <section id='tsig-key-syntax'>
        <title>Key anatomy and syntax</title>

        <para>
          Each key has three attributes. One is a name by which it is referred
          both in DNS packets and the rest of the configuration. Another is the
          algorithm used to compute the signature. And the last part is a
          base64 encoded secret, which might be any blob of data.
        </para>

        <para>
          The parts are written into a string, concatenated together by colons.
          So if you wanted to have a key called "example.key", used as a
          HMAC-MD5 key with secret "secret", you'd write it as:
<screen>"example.key.:c2VjcmV0:hmac-md5"</screen>
        </para>

        <para>
          The HMAC-MD5 algorithm is the default, so you can omit it. You could
          write the same key as:
<screen>"example.key.:c2VjcmV0"</screen>
        </para>

        <para>
          You can also use these algorithms (which may not be omitted from the

          sign responses to signed queries, and <command>b10-xfrin</command>
          and <command>b10-xfrout</command> to sign transfers.
        </para>

        <para>
          The key ring is just a list of strings, each describing one key. So,
          to add a new key, you can do this:
          <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add tsig_keys/keys "example.key.:c2VjcmV0"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config show tsig_keys/keys</userinput>
tsig_keys/keys[0]   "example.key.:c2VjcmV0" string  (modified)
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        </para>

        <para>
          You can keep as many keys as you want in the key ring, but each must
          have a different name.

      <title>ACLs</title>

      <para>
        An ACL, or Access Control List, is a way to describe if a request
        is allowed or disallowed. The principle is, there's a list of rules.
        Each rule is a name-value mapping (a dictionary, in the JSON
        terminology). Each rule must contain exactly one mapping called
        "action", which describes what should happen if the rule applies.
        There may be more mappings, called matches, which describe the
        conditions under which the rule applies.
      </para>

      <para>
        When there's a query, the first rule is examined. If it matches, the
        action in it is taken. If not, next rule is examined. If there are no
        more rules to examine, a default action is taken.
      </para>

      <para>
        There are three possible "action" values. The "ACCEPT" value means
        the query is handled. If it is "REJECT", the query is not answered,
        but a polite error message is sent back (if that makes sense in the
        context). The "DROP" action acts like a black hole. The query is
        not answered and no error message is sent.
      </para>

      <para>
        If there are multiple matching conditions inside the rule, all of
        them must be satisfied for the rule to apply. This can be used,
        for example, to require the query to be signed by a TSIG key and
        originate from given address.
      </para>

      <para>
        This is encoded in form of JSON. Semi-formal description could look
        something like this. It is described in more details below.
<!-- FIXME: Is <screen> really the correct one?-->

      <section>
        <title>Matching properties</title>

        <para>
          The first thing you can check against is the source address
          of request. The name is <varname>from</varname> and the value
          is a string containing either a single IPv4 or IPv6 address,
          or a range in the usual slash notation (eg. "192.0.2.0/24").
        </para>

        <para>
          The other is TSIG key by which the message was signed. The ACL
          contains only the name (under the name "key"), the key itself
	  must be stored in the global key ring (see <xref
	  linkend="tsig-key-ring"/>).
          This property is applicable only to the DNS context.
        </para>

        <para>
          More properties to match are planned &mdash; the destination
          address, ports, matches against the packet content.
        </para>
      </section>

      <section>
        <title>More complicated matches</title>

        <para>
          From time to time, you need to express something more complex
          than just a single address or key.
        </para>

        <para>
          You can specify a list of values instead of single value. Then
          the property needs to match at least one of the values listed
          &mdash; so you can say <quote>"from": ["192.0.2.0/24",
          "2001:db8::/32"]</quote> to match any address in the ranges
          set aside for documentation. The keys or any future properties
          will work in a similar way.
        </para>

        <para>
          If that is not enough, you can compose the matching conditions
          to logical expressions. They are called "ANY", "ALL" and "NOT".
          The "ANY" and "ALL" ones contain lists of subexpressions &mdash;
          each subexpression is a similar dictionary, just not containing
          the "action" element. The "NOT" contains single subexpression.
          Their function should be obvious &mdash; "NOT" matches if and
          only if the subexpression does not match. The "ALL" matches exactly
          when each of the subexpressions matches and "ANY" when at least
          one matches.
        </para>
      </section>

      <section>
        <title>Examples</title>

        <para>
          All the examples here is just the JSON representing the ACL,
          nicely formatted and split across lines. They are out of any
          surrounding context. This is similar to what you'd get from
          <command>config show_json</command> called on the entry containing
          the ACL.
        </para>

        <para>
          In the first example, the ACL accepts queries from two known hosts.
          Each host has an IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) and a TSIG
          key. Other queries are politely rejected. The last entry in the list
          has no conditions &mdash; making it match any query.

          <screen>[
  {
    "from": ["192.0.2.1", "2001:db8::1"],
    "key": "first.key",
    "action": "ACCEPT"
  },
  {
    "from": ["192.0.2.2", "2001:db8::2"],
    "key": "second.key",
    "action": "ACCEPT"
  },
  {
    "action": "REJECT"
  }
]</screen>
        </para>

        <para>
          Now we show two ways to accept only the queries from private ranges.
          This is the same as rejecting anything that is outside.

          <screen>[
  {
    "from": [

    ],
    "action": "ACCEPT"
  },
  {
    "action": "REJECT"
  }
]</screen>

        <para>
          Currently, <command>bindctl</command> has hard time coping with
          the variable nature of the ACL syntax. This technical limitation

          set the whole entry at once, providing the whole JSON value.

          This limitation is planned to be solved soon at least partially.
        </para>

        <para>

	The processes to be used can be configured for

	of the required <command>b10-sockcreator</command>,
	<command>b10-msgq</command> and <command>b10-cfgmgr</command>
	components.
	The configuration is in the <varname>Init/components</varname>
	section. Each element represents one component, which is
	an abstraction of a process.
      </para>

      <para>
	To add a process to the set, let's say the resolver (which
	is not started by default), you would do this:
        <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add Init/components b10-resolver</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-resolver/special resolver</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-resolver/kind needed</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-resolver/priority 10</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen></para>

      <para>
	Now, what it means. We add an entry called
	<quote>b10-resolver</quote>. It is both a name used to
	reference this component in the configuration and the name
	of the process to start. Then we set some parameters on
	how to start it.
      </para>

      <para>
	The <varname>special</varname> setting is for components
	that need some kind of special care during startup or
	shutdown. Unless specified, the component is started in a
	usual way. This is the list of components that need to be
	started in a special way, with the value of special used
	for them:

      <para>
	The <varname>kind</varname> specifies how a failure of the
	component should be handled.  If it is set to
	<quote>dispensable</quote> (the default unless you set
	something else), it will get started again if it fails. If
	it is set to <quote>needed</quote> and it fails at startup,
	the whole <command>b10-init</command> shuts down and exits
	with an error exit code. But if it fails some time later, it
	is just started again. If you set it to <quote>core</quote>,
	you indicate that the system is not usable without the
	component and if such component fails, the system shuts
	down no matter when the failure happened.  This is the
	behavior of the core components (the ones you can't turn
	off), but you can declare any other components as core as
	well if you wish (but you can turn these off, they just
	can't fail).
      </para>

      <para>
	The <varname>priority</varname> defines order in which the
	components should start.  The ones with higher numbers are
	started sooner than the ones with lower ones. If you don't
	set it, 0 (zero) is used as the priority.  Usually, leaving
	it at the default is enough.
      </para>

      <para>
        There are other parameters we didn't use in our example.
        One of them is <varname>address</varname>. It is the address
        used by the component on the <command>b10-msgq</command>
        message bus. The special components already know their
        address, but the usual ones don't. The address is by
        convention the thing after <emphasis>b10-</emphasis>, with
        the first letter capitalized (eg. <command>b10-stats</command>
        would have <quote>Stats</quote> as its address).
<!-- TODO: this should be simplified so we don't even have to document it -->

<!-- TODO: document params when is enabled -->

      <para>
	The last one is <varname>process</varname>. It is the name
	of the process to be started.  It defaults to the name of
	the component if not set, but you can use this to override
	it. (The special components also already know their
        executable name.)
      </para>

      <!-- TODO Add parameters when they work, not implemented yet-->

      <note>
        <para>
          The configuration is quite powerful, but that includes
          a lot of space for mistakes. You could turn off the
          <command>b10-cmdctl</command>, but then you couldn't
          change it back the usual way, as it would require it to
          be running (you would have to find and edit the configuration
          directly).  Also, some modules might have dependencies:
          <command>b10-stats-httpd</command> needs
          <command>b10-stats</command>, <command>b10-xfrout</command>
          needs <command>b10-auth</command> to be running, etc.

<!-- TODO: should we define dependencies? -->

        </para>
        <para>
          In short, you should think twice before disabling something here.
        </para>
      </note>
      <para>
        It is possible to start some components multiple times (currently
        <command>b10-auth</command> and <command>b10-resolver</command>).
        You might want to do that to gain more performance (each one uses only
        single core). Just put multiple entries under different names, like
        this, with the same config:
        <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add Init/components b10-resolver-2</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-resolver-2/special resolver</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-resolver-2/kind needed</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      </para>
      <para>
        However, this is work in progress and the support is not yet complete.
        For example, each resolver will have its own cache, each authoritative
        server will keep its own copy of in-memory data and there could be
        problems with locking the sqlite database, if used. The configuration
        might be changed to something more convenient in future.
	Other components don't expect such a situation, so it would
	probably not do what you want. Such support is yet to be
	implemented.

      <note>
        <simpara>
          The default configuration is currently not appropriate for a multi-homed host.
          In case you have multiple public IP addresses, it is possible the
          query UDP packet comes through one interface and the answer goes out
          through another. The answer will probably be dropped by the client, as it
          has a different source address than the one it sent the query to. The
          client would fallback on TCP after several attempts, which works
          well in this situation, but is clearly not ideal.
        </simpara>
        <simpara>
          There are plans to solve the problem such that the server handles
          it by itself. But until it is actually implemented, it is recommended to
          alter the configuration &mdash; remove the wildcard addresses and list all
          addresses explicitly. Then the server will answer on the same
          interface the request came on, preserving the correct address.

      <title>Data Source Backends</title>

      <para>
        Bind 10 has the concept of data sources. A data source is a place
        where authoritative zone data reside and where they can be served
        from. This can be a master file, a database or something completely
        different.
      </para>

      <para>
        Once a query arrives, <command>b10-auth</command> goes through a
        configured list of data sources and finds the one containing a best
        matching zone. From the equally good ones, the first one is taken.
        This data source is then used to answer the query.
      </para>

      <note><para>
        In the current release, <command>b10-auth</command>
        can serve data from a SQLite3 data source backend and from master
        files.
        Upcoming versions will be able to use multiple different
        data sources, such as MySQL and Berkeley DB.
      </para></note>

      <para>
        The configuration is located in data_sources/classes. Each item there
        represents one RR class and a list used to answer queries for that
        class. The default contains two classes. The CH class contains a
        built-in data source &mdash; one that serves things like
        <quote>AUTHORS.BIND.</quote>. The IN class contains single SQLite3
        data source with database file located at
        <filename>/usr/local/var/bind10/zone.sqlite3</filename>.
      </para>

      <para>
        Each data source has several options. The first one is
        <varname>type</varname>, which specifies the type of data source to
        use. Valid types include the ones listed below, but BIND 10 uses
        dynamically loaded modules for them, so there may be more in your
        case. This option is mandatory.
      </para>

      <para>
        Another option is <varname>params</varname>. This option is type
        specific; it holds different data depending on the type
        above. Also, depending on the type, it could be possible to omit it.
      </para>

      <para>
        There are two options related to the so-called cache. If you enable
        cache, zone data from the data source are loaded into memory.
        Then, when answering a query, <command>b10-auth</command> looks
        into the memory only instead of the data source, which speeds
        answering up. The first option is <varname>cache-enable</varname>,
        a boolean value turning the cache on and off (off is the default).
        The second one, <varname>cache-zones</varname>, is a list of zone
        origins to load into in-memory.

<!-- NOT YET:  http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/2240
 Once the cache is enabled,
        the zones in the data source not listed in
        <varname>cache-zones</varname> will not be loaded and will
        not be available at all.

      </para>

      <section id='datasource-types'>
        <title>Data source types</title>
        <para>
          As mentioned, the type used by default is <quote>sqlite3</quote>.
          It has single configuration option inside <varname>params</varname>
          &mdash; <varname>database_file</varname>, which contains the path
          to the SQLite3 file containing the data.
        </para>

        <para>
          Another type is called <quote>MasterFiles</quote>. This one is
          slightly special. The data are stored in RFC1034 master files.
          Because answering directly from them would be impractical,
          this type mandates the cache to be enabled. Also, the list of
          zones (<varname>cache-zones</varname>) should be omitted. The
          <varname>params</varname> is a dictionary mapping from zone
          origins to the files they reside in.

      </section>

      <section id='datasrc-examples'>
        <title>Examples</title>
        <para>
          As this is one of the more complex configurations of BIND 10,
          we show some examples. They all assume they start with default
          configuration.
        </para>

        <para>
          First, let's disable the built-in data source
          (<quote>VERSION.BIND</quote> and friends). As it is the only
          data source in the CH class, we can remove the whole class.

          <screen>&gt; <userinput>config remove data_sources/classes CH</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        </para>

        <para>
          Another one, let's say our default data source contains zones
          <quote>example.org.</quote> and <quote>example.net.</quote>.
          We want them to be served from memory to make the answering
          faster.

          <screen>&gt; <userinput>config set data_sources/classes/IN[0]/cache-enable true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add data_sources/classes/IN[0]/cache-zones example.org.</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add data_sources/classes/IN[0]/cache-zones example.net.</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>

          Now every time the zone in the data source is changed by the
          operator, the authoritative server needs to be told to reload it, by
          <screen>&gt; <userinput>Auth loadzone example.org</userinput></screen>
          You don't need to do this when the zone is modified by
          <command>b10-xfrin</command>; it does so automatically.
        </para>

        <para>
          Now, the last example is when there are master files we want to
          serve in addition to whatever is inside the SQLite3 database.

          <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add data_sources/classes/IN</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set data_sources/classes/IN[1]/type MasterFiles</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set data_sources/classes/IN[1]/cache-enable true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set data_sources/classes/IN[1]/params { "example.org": "/path/to/example.org", "example.com": "/path/to/example.com" }</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>

          Unfortunately, due to current technical limitations, the
          params must be set as one JSON blob. To reload a zone, use the
          same <command>Auth loadzone</command> command as above.
	</para>

	<para>
          Initially, a map value has to be set, but this value may be an
          empty map. After that, key/value pairs can be added with
          <command>config add</command> and keys can be removed with
          <command>config remove</command>. The initial value may be an
          empty map, but it has to be set before zones are added or
          removed.

          <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set data_sources/classes/IN[1]/params {}</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add data_sources/classes/IN[1]/params another.example.org /path/to/another.example.org</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add data_sources/classes/IN[1]/params another.example.com /path/to/another.example.com</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config remove data_sources/classes/IN[1]/params another.example.org</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>

        </para>
      </section>

      <note>
      <para>
        There's also <varname>Auth/database_file</varname> configuration
        variable, pointing to a SQLite3 database file. This is no longer
        used by <command>b10-auth</command>, but it is left in place for
        now, since other modules use it. Once <command>b10-zonemgr</command>,
        <command>b10-xfrout</command> and <command>b10-ddns</command>
        are ported to the new configuration, this will disappear. But for
        now, make sure that if you use any of these modules, the new
        and old configuration correspond. The defaults are consistent, so
        unless you tweaked either the new or the old configuration, you're
        good.

        <title>Adding a static data source</title>

	  BIND 10 includes a zone file named

        Then, add a data source of type <emphasis>MasterFiles</emphasis>
        in the CH class to serve the zones in

    <title>Incoming Zone Transfers</title>

    <para>
      Incoming zones are transferred using the <command>b10-xfrin</command>
      process which is started by <command>b10-init</command>.
      When received, the zone is stored in the corresponding BIND 10
      data source, and its records can be served by
      <command>b10-auth</command>.
      In combination with <command>b10-zonemgr</command> (for
      automated SOA checks), this allows the BIND 10 server to
      provide <emphasis>secondary</emphasis> service.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <command>b10-xfrin</command> process supports both AXFR and
      IXFR.
    </para>

    <section>
      <title>Configuration for Incoming Zone Transfers</title>
      <para>
	In order to enable incoming zone transfers for a secondary
	zone, you will first need to make the zone "exist" in some
	data source.
	One easy way to do this is to create an empty zone using the
	<command>b10-loadzone</command> utility.
	For example, this makes an empty zone (or empties any existing
	content of the zone) "example.com" in the default data source
	for <command>b10-loadzone</command> (which is SQLite3-based
	data source):
            <screen>$ <userinput>b10-loadzone <replaceable>-e</replaceable> <replaceable>example.com</replaceable></userinput></screen>
      </para>

      <para>
        Next, you need to specify a list of secondary zones to
        enable incoming zone transfers for these zones in most
        practical cases (you can still trigger a zone transfer
        manually, without a prior configuration (see below)).
      </para>

      <para>
        For example, to enable zone transfers for a zone named "example.com"
        (whose master address is assumed to be 2001:db8::53 here),
        run the following at the <command>bindctl</command> prompt:

      <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add Xfrin/zones</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/name "<option>example.com</option>"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/master_addr "<option>2001:db8::53</option>"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>

      (We assume there has been no zone configuration before).
      </para>

      <note>
        <simpara>
	  There is a plan to revise overall zone management
	  configuration (which are primary and secondary zones, which
	  data source they are stored, etc) so it can be configured
	  more consistently and in a unified way among various BIND 10 modules.
	  When it's done, part or all of the initial configuration
	  setup described in this section may be deprecated.
	</simpara>
      </note>
    </section>

    <section>
        <title>TSIG</title>
        If you want to use TSIG for incoming transfers, a system wide TSIG
        key ring must be configured (see <xref linkend="tsig-key-ring"/>).
        To specify a key to use, set tsig_key value to the name of the key
        to use from the key ring.
&gt; <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/tsig_key "<option>example.key</option>"</userinput>
    </section>

    <section id="request_ixfr">
      <title>Control the use of IXFR</title>
      <para>
	By default, <command>b10-xfrin</command> uses IXFR for
	transferring zones specified in
	the <varname>Xfrin/zones</varname> list of the configuration,
	unless it doesn't know the current SOA serial of the zone
	(including the case where the zone has never transferred or
	locally loaded), in which case it automatically uses AXFR.
	If the attempt of IXFR fails, <command>b10-xfrin</command>
	automatically retries the transfer using AXFR.
	In general, this works for any master server implementations
	including those that don't support IXFR and in any local state
	of the zone.  So there should normally be no need to configure
	on whether to use IXFR.
      </para>

      <para>
	In some cases, however, it may be desirable to specify how and
	whether to use IXFR and AXFR.
	The <varname>request_ixfr</varname> configuration item under

	      This value has a severe drawback, that is, if the master
	      server does not support IXFR zone transfers never
	      succeed (except for the very first one, which will use AXFR),
	      and the zone will eventually expire.
	      Therefore it should not be used in general.
	      Still, in some special cases the use of this value may
	      make sense.  For example, if the operator is sure that
	      the master server supports IXFR and the zone is very

      <title>Trigger an Incoming Zone Transfer Manually</title>

      <para>
        To manually trigger a zone transfer to retrieve a remote zone,
        you may use the <command>bindctl</command> utility.
        For example, at the <command>bindctl</command> prompt run:

        <screen>&gt; <userinput>Xfrin retransfer zone_name="<option>foo.example.org</option>" master=<option>192.0.2.99</option></userinput></screen>
      </para>

      <para>
	The <command>retransfer</command> command always uses AXFR.
	To use IXFR for a zone that has already been transferred once,
	use the <command>refresh</command> command.
	It honors the <varname>Xfrin/zones/request_ixfr</varname>
	configuration item (see <xref linkend="request_ixfr"/>.), and
	if it's configured to use IXFR, it will be used.
      </para>

      <para>
	Both the <command>retransfer</command>
	and <command>refresh</command> commands can be used for
	an initial transfer before setting up secondary
	configurations.
	In this case AXFR will be used for the obvious reason.

    <title>Dynamic DNS Update</title>

    <para>
      BIND 10 supports the server side of the Dynamic DNS Update
      (DDNS) protocol as defined in RFC 2136.
      This service is provided by the <command>b10-ddns</command>
      component, which is started by the <command>b10-init</command>
      process if configured so.
    </para>

    <para>
      When the <command>b10-auth</command> authoritative DNS server
      receives an UPDATE request, it internally forwards the request
      to <command>b10-ddns</command>, which handles the rest of
      this request processing.
      When the processing is completed, <command>b10-ddns</command>
      will send a response to the client as specified in RFC 2136
      (NOERROR for successful update, REFUSED if rejected due to
      ACL check, etc).
      If the zone has been changed as a result, it will internally
      notify <command>b10-xfrout</command> so that other secondary
      servers will be notified via the DNS NOTIFY protocol.
      In addition, if <command>b10-auth</command> serves the updated
      zone (as described in
      <xref linkend="datasrc" />),
      <command>b10-ddns</command> will also
      notify <command>b10-auth</command> so that <command>b10-auth</command>
      will re-cache the updated zone content if necessary.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <command>b10-ddns</command> component supports requests over
      both UDP and TCP, and both IPv6 and IPv4; for TCP requests,
      however, it terminates the TCP connection immediately after
      each single request has been processed.  Clients cannot reuse the
      same TCP connection for multiple requests. (This is a current
      implementation limitation of <command>b10-ddns</command>.
      While RFC 2136 doesn't specify anything about such reuse of TCP
      connection, there is no reason for disallowing it as RFC 1035
      generally allows multiple requests sent over a single TCP
      connection.  BIND 9 supports such reuse.)
    </para>

    <para>
      As of this writing <command>b10-ddns</command> does not support
      update forwarding for secondary zones.
      If it receives an update request for a secondary zone, it will
      immediately return a <quote>not implemented</quote> response.
      <note><simpara>
	  For feature completeness, update forwarding should be
	  eventually supported.  But currently it's considered a lower
	  priority task and there is no specific plan of implementing
	  this feature.
<!-- See Trac #2063 -->
      </simpara></note>
    </para>

    <section>
      <title>Enabling Dynamic Update</title>
      <para>
        First off, it must be made sure that a few components on which
        <command>b10-ddns</command> depends are configured to run,
        which are <command>b10-auth</command>
        and <command>b10-zonemgr</command>.
        In addition, <command>b10-xfrout</command> should also be
        configured to run; otherwise the notification after an update
        (see above) will fail with a timeout, suspending the DDNS
        service while <command>b10-ddns</command> waits for the
        response (see the description of the <ulink
        url="bind10-messages.html#DDNS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_FAIL">DDNS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_FAIL</ulink>
        log message for further details).
        If BIND 10 is already configured to provide authoritative DNS
        service they should normally be configured to run already.
      </para>

      <para>
        Second, for the obvious reason dynamic update requires that the
        underlying data source storing the zone data be writable.
        In the current implementation this means the zone must be stored
        in an SQLite3-based data source.
<!-- TODO -->
	Also, in this current version, the <command>b10-ddns</command>
	component configures itself with the data source referring to the
        <varname>database_file</varname> configuration parameter of
        <command>b10-auth</command>.
        So this information must be configured correctly before starting
        <command>b10-ddns</command>.

        <note><simpara>
            The way to configure data sources is now being revised.
            Configuration on the data source for DDNS will be very
            likely to be changed in a backward incompatible manner in
            a near future version.
        </simpara></note>
      </para>

      <para>
	In general, if something goes wrong regarding the dependency
	described above, <command>b10-ddns</command> will log the
	related event at the warning or error level.
	It's advisable to check the log message when you first enable
	DDNS or if it doesn't work as you expect to see if there's any
	warning or error log message.
      </para>

      <para>
        Next, to enable the DDNS service, <command>b10-ddns</command>
        needs to be explicitly configured to run.
        It can be done by using the <command>bindctl</command>
        utility.  For example:
      <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Init/components b10-ddns</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-ddns/address DDNS</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-ddns/kind dispensable</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
      <note><simpara>
	  In theory <varname>kind</varname> could be omitted because
	  "dispensable" is its default.
	  But there's some peculiar behavior (which should be a
	  bug and should be fixed eventually; see Trac ticket #2064)
	  with <command>bindctl</command> and you'll still need to
	  specify that explicitly.  Likewise, <varname>address</varname>
	  may look unnecessary because <command>b10-ddns</command>
	  would start and work without specifying it.  But for it
	  to shutdown gracefully this parameter should also be
	  specified.
      </simpara></note>
      </para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Access Control</title>
      <para>
        By default, <command>b10-ddns</command> rejects any update
        requests from any clients by returning a REFUSED response.
        To allow updates to take effect, an access control rule
        (called update ACL) with a policy allowing updates must explicitly be
        configured.
        Update ACL must be configured per zone basis in the
        <varname>zones</varname> configuration parameter of
        <command>b10-ddns</command>.
        This is a list of per-zone configurations regarding DDNS.
        Each list element consists of the following parameters:
        <variablelist>
          <varlistentry>
            <term>origin</term>
            <listitem>
              <simpara>The zone's origin name</simpara>
            </listitem>
          </varlistentry>
          <varlistentry>
            <term>class</term>
            <listitem>
              <simpara>The RR class of the zone
                (normally <quote>IN</quote>, and in that case
		can be omitted in configuration)</simpara>
            </listitem>
          </varlistentry>
          <varlistentry>
            <term>update_acl</term>
            <listitem>
              <simpara>List of access control rules (ACL) for the zone</simpara>
            </listitem>
          </varlistentry>
        </variablelist>
        The syntax of the ACL is the same as ACLs for other
        components.
        Specific examples are given below.
      </para>

      <para>
        In general, an update ACL rule that allows an update request
        should be configured with a TSIG key.
        This is an example update ACL that allows updates to the zone
        named <quote>example.org</quote> (of default RR class <quote>IN</quote>)
        from clients that send requests signed with a TSIG whose
        key name is "key.example.org" (and refuses all others):
      <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add DDNS/zones</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set DDNS/zones[0]/origin example.org</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add DDNS/zones[0]/update_acl {"action": "ACCEPT", "key": "key.example.org"}</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
      The TSIG key must be configured system wide
      (see <xref linkend="common-tsig"/>).
      </para>

      <para>
	The full description of ACLs can be found in <xref
	linkend="common-acl" />.
      </para>

      <note><simpara>
          The <command>b10-ddns</command> component accepts an ACL
          rule that just allows updates from a specific IP address
          (i.e., without requiring TSIG), but this is highly
          discouraged (remember that requests can be made over UDP and
          spoofing the source address of a UDP packet is often pretty
          easy).
          Unless you know what you are doing and that you can accept
          its consequence, any update ACL rule that allows updates
          should have a TSIG key in its constraints.
      </simpara></note>

      <para>
        Currently update ACL can only control updates per zone basis;
        it's not possible to specify access control with higher
        granularity such as for particular domain names or specific
        types of RRs.
<!-- See Trac ticket #2065 -->
      </para>

      <note><simpara>
        Contrary to what RFC 2136 (literally) specifies,
        <command>b10-ddns</command> checks the update ACL before
        checking the prerequisites of the update request.
        This is a deliberate implementation decision.
        This counter intuitive specification has been repeatedly
        discussed among implementers and in the IETF, and it is now
        widely agreed that it does not make sense to strictly follow
        that part of RFC.
        One known specific bad result of following the RFC is that it
        could leak information about which name or record exists or does not
        exist in the zone as a result of prerequisite checks even if a
        zone is somehow configured to reject normal queries from
        arbitrary clients.
        There have been other troubles that could have been avoided if
        the ACL could be checked before the prerequisite check.

    <section>
      <title>Miscellaneous Operational Issues</title>
      <para>
        Unlike BIND 9, BIND 10 currently does not support automatic
        re-signing of DNSSEC-signed zone when it's updated via DDNS.
        It could be possible to re-sign the updated zone afterwards
        or make sure the update request also updates related DNSSEC
        records, but that will be pretty error-prone operation.
        In general, it's not advisable to allow DDNS for a signed zone
        at this moment.
      </para>

      <para>
        Also unlike BIND 9, it's currently not possible
        to <quote>freeze</quote> a zone temporarily in order to
        suspend DDNS while you manually update the zone.
        If you need to make manual updates to a dynamic zone,
        you'll need to temporarily reject any updates to the zone via
        the update ACLs.
      </para>

      <para>
        Dynamic updates are only applicable to primary zones.
        In order to avoid updating secondary zones via DDNS requests,
        <command>b10-ddns</command> refers to the
        <quote>secondary_zones</quote> configuration of
        <command>b10-zonemgr</command>.  Zones listed in
        <quote>secondary_zones</quote> will never be updated via DDNS
        regardless of the update ACL configuration;
	<command>b10-ddns</command> will return a NOTAUTH (server
        not authoritative for the zone) response.
        If you have a "conceptual" secondary zone whose content is a
        copy of some external source but is not updated via the
        standard zone transfers and therefore not listed in
        <quote>secondary_zones</quote>, be careful not to allow DDNS
        for the zone; it would be quite likely to lead to inconsistent
        state between different servers.
        Normally this should not be a problem because the default
        update ACL rejects any update requests, but you may want to
        take an extra care about the configuration if you have such
        type of secondary zones.
      </para>
      <para>
        The difference of two versions of a zone, before and after a
        DDNS transaction, is automatically recorded in the underlying
        data source, and can be retrieved in the form of outbound
        IXFR.
        This is done automatically; it does not require specific
        configuration to make this possible.

     <para>The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCP or
    DHCPv4) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)
    are protocols that allow one node (server) to provision
    configuration parameters to many hosts and devices (clients). To
    ease deployment in larger networks, additional nodes (relays) may
    be deployed that facilitate communication between servers and
    clients. Even though principles of both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 are
    somewhat similar, these are two radically different
    protocols. BIND 10 offers two server implementations, one for DHCPv4
    and one for DHCPv6.</para>

      BIND 10 DHCP stores its leases in a lease database.  The software has been written in
      a way that makes it possible to choose which database product should be used to

        After starting BIND 10 and entering bindctl, the first step

        On start-up, the server will detect available network interfaces
        and will attempt to open UDP sockets on all interfaces that
        are up, running, are not loopback, and have IPv4 address
        assigned.

        The server will then listen to incoming traffic. Currently
        supported client messages are DISCOVER and REQUEST. The server
        will respond to them with OFFER and ACK, respectively.

        Since the DHCPv4 server opens privileged ports, it requires root
        access. Make sure you run this daemon as root.

        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp4</userinput></screen>
        When starting the DHCPv4 daemon for the first time, the default configuration

&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/valid-lifetime 7200</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Please note that most Dhcp4 parameters are of global scope
        and apply to all defined subnets, unless they are overridden on a

      </para>

      <section>
      <title>Database Configuration</title>
      <para>
      All leases issued by the server are stored in the lease database.  Currently,
      the only supported database is MySQL
      <footnote>
      <para>
      The server comes with an in-memory database ("memfile") configured as the default
      database. This is used for internal testing and is not supported.  In addition,
      it does not store lease information on disk: lease information will be lost if the
      server is restarted.
      </para>
      </footnote>, and so the server must be configured to
      access the correct database with the appropriate credentials.
      </para>
        <note>
            <para>
            Database access information must be configured for the DHCPv4 server, even if
            it has already been configured for the DHCPv6 server.  The servers store their
            information independently, so each server can use a separate
            database or both servers can use the same database.
            </para>
        </note>
      <para>
      Database configuration is controlled through the Dhcp4/lease-database parameters.
      The type of the database must be set to MySQL (although the string entered is "mysql"):
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/lease-database/type "mysql"</userinput>
</screen>
      Next, the name of the database is to hold the leases must be set: this is the
      name used when the lease database was created (see <xref linkend="dhcp-database-create"/>).
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/lease-database/name "<replaceable>database-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
</screen>
      If the database is located on a different system to the DHCPv4 server, the
      database host name must also be specified (although note that this configuration
      may have a severe impact on server performance):
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/lease-database/host "<replaceable>remote-host-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
</screen>
      The usual state of affairs will be to have the database on the same machine as the
      DHCPv4 server.  In this case, set the value to the empty string (this is the default):
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/lease-database/host ""</userinput>
</screen>
      </para>
      <para>
      Finally, the credentials of the account under which the server will access the database
      should be set:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/lease-database/user "<replaceable>user-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/lease-database/password "<replaceable>password</replaceable>"</userinput>
</screen>
      If there is no password to the account, set the password to the empty string "". (This is also the default.)
      </para>
      <note>
      <para>The password is echoed when entered and is stored in clear text in the BIND 10 configuration
      database.  Improved password security will be added in a future version of BIND 10 DHCP</para>
      </note>
      </section>

      <section id="dhcp4-interface-selection">
      <title>Interface selection</title>
      <para>
        When DHCPv4 server starts up, by default it will listen to the DHCP
        traffic and respond to it on all interfaces detected during startup.
        However, in many cases it is desired to configure the server to listen and
        respond on selected interfaces only. The sample commands in this section
        show how to make interface selection using bindctl.
      </para>
      <para>
        The default configuration can be presented with the following command:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp4/interfaces</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp4/interfaces[0] "*" string</userinput></screen>
        An asterisk sign plays a role of the wildcard and means "listen on all interfaces".
      </para>
      <para>
        In order to override the default configuration, the existing entry can be replaced
        with the actual interface name:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/interfaces[0] eth1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Other interface names can be added on one-by-one basis:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/interfaces eth2</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Configuration will now contain two interfaces which can be presented as follows:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp4/interfaces</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp4/interfaces[0]	"eth1"	string</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp4/interfaces[1]	"eth2"	string</userinput></screen>
        When configuration gets committed, the server will start to listen on
        eth1 and eth2 interfaces only.
      </para>
      <para>
        It is possible to use wildcard interface name (asterisk) concurrently with explicit
        interface names:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/interfaces *</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        This will result in the following configuration:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp4/interfaces</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp4/interfaces[0]	"eth1"	string</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp4/interfaces[1]	"eth2"	string</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp4/interfaces[2]	"*"	string</userinput></screen>
        The presence of the wildcard name implies that server will listen on all interfaces.
        In order to fall back to the previous configuration when server listens on eth1 and eth2:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config remove Dhcp4/interfaces[2]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      </para>
      </section>

      <section id="dhcp4-address-config">
      <title>Configuration of Address Pools</title>
      <para>
        The essential role of DHCPv4 server is address assignment. The server
        has to be configured with at least one subnet and one pool of dynamic
        addresses to be managed. For example, assume that the server
        is connected to a network segment that uses the 192.0.2.0/24
        prefix. The Administrator of that network has decided that addresses from range
        192.0.2.10 to 192.0.2.20 are going to be managed by the Dhcp4
        server. Such a configuration can be achieved in the following way:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/subnet4</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[0]/subnet "192.0.2.0/24"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[0]/pool [ "192.0.2.10 - 192.0.2.20" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Note that subnet is defined as a simple string, but the pool parameter
        is actually a list of pools: for this reason, the pool definition is
        enclosed in square brackets, even though only one range of addresses
        is specified.</para>
        <para>It is possible to define more than one pool in a
        subnet: continuing the previous example, further assume that
        192.0.2.64/26 should be also be managed by the server. It could be written as
        192.0.2.64 to 192.0.2.127. Alternatively, it can be expressed more simply as
        192.0.2.64/26. Both formats are supported by Dhcp4 and can be mixed in the pool list.
        For example, one could define the following pools:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[0]/pool [ "192.0.2.10-192.0.2.20", "192.0.2.64/26" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        The number of pools is not limited, but for performance reasons it is recommended to
        use as few as possible. Space and tabulations in pool definitions are ignored, so
        spaces before and after hyphen are optional. They can be used to improve readability.
      </para>
      <para>
         The server may be configured to serve more than one subnet. To add a second subnet,
         use a command similar to the following:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/subnet4</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[1]/subnet "192.0.3.0/24"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[1]/pool [ "192.0.3.0/24" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Arrays are counted from 0. subnet[0] refers to the subnet defined in the
        previous example.  The <command>config add Dhcp4/subnet4</command> command adds
        another (second) subnet. It can be referred to as
        <command>Dhcp4/subnet4[1]</command>. In this example, we allow server to
        dynamically assign all addresses available in the whole subnet.
      </para>
      <para>
        When configuring a DHCPv4 server using prefix/length notation, please pay
        attention to the boundary values. When specifying that the server should use
        a given pool, it will be able to allocate also first (typically network
        address) and the last (typically broadcast address) address from that pool.
        In the aforementioned example of pool 192.0.3.0/24, both 192.0.3.0 and
        192.0.3.255 addresses may be assigned as well. This may be invalid in some
        network configurations. If you want to avoid this, please use the "min-max" notation.
      </para>
      </section>

    <section id="dhcp4-std-options">
      <title>Standard DHCPv4 options</title>
      <para>
        One of the major features of DHCPv4 server is to provide configuration
        options to clients. Although there are several options that require
        special behavior, most options are sent by the server only if the client
        explicitly requested them.  The following example shows how to
        configure DNS servers, which is one of the most frequently used
        options. Options specified in this way are considered global and apply
        to all configured subnets.

        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/name "domain-name-servers"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/code 6</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/data "192.0.3.1, 192.0.3.2"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
      </para>
    <para>
      The first line creates new entry in option-data table. It
      contains information on all global options that the server is
      supposed to configure in all subnets. The second line specifies
      option name. For a complete list of currently supported names,
      see <xref linkend="dhcp4-std-options-list"/> below.
      The third line specifies option code, which must match one of the
      values from that list. Line 4 specifies option space, which must always
      be set to "dhcp4" as these are standard DHCPv4 options. For
      other option spaces, including custom option spaces, see <xref
      linkend="dhcp4-option-spaces"/>. The fifth line specifies the format in
      which the data will be entered: use of CSV (comma
      separated values) is recommended. The sixth line gives the actual value to
      be sent to clients. Data is specified as a normal text, with
      values separated by commas if more than one value is
      allowed.
    </para>

    <para>
      Options can also be configured as hexadecimal values. If csv-format is
      set to false, option data must be specified as a hex string. The
      following commands configure the domain-name-servers option for all
      subnets with the following addresses: 192.0.3.1 and 192.0.3.2.
      Note that csv-format is set to false.
      <screen>

      </para>

      <para>
        It is possible to override options on a per-subnet basis.  If
        clients connected to most of your subnets are expected to get the
        same values of a given option, you should use global options: you
        can then override specific values for a small number of subnets.
        On the other hand, if you use different values in each subnet,
        it does not make sense to specify global option values
        (Dhcp4/option-data), rather you should set only subnet-specific values
        (Dhcp4/subnet[X]/option-data[Y]).
      </para>

      <para>
        The currently supported standard DHCPv4 options are
        listed in <xref linkend="dhcp4-std-options-list"/>
        and <xref linkend="dhcp4-std-options-list-part2"/>.
        The "Name" and "Code"
        are the values that should be used as a name in the option-data
        structures. "Type" designates the format of the data: the meanings of
        the various types is given in <xref linkend="dhcp-types"/>.
      </para>
      <para>
        Some options are designated as arrays, which means that more than one
        value is allowed in such an option. For example the option time-servers
        allows the specification of more than one IPv4 address, so allowing
        clients to obtain the the addresses of multiple NTP servers.

    <section id="dhcp4-custom-options">
      <title>Custom DHCPv4 options</title>
      <para>It is also possible to define options other than the standard ones.
      Assume that we want to define a new DHCPv4 option called "foo" which will have
      code 222 and will convey a single unsigned 32 bit integer value. We can define
      such an option by using the following commands:
      <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/name "foo"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/code 222</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/type "uint32"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/record-types ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      The "false" value of the "array" parameter determines that the option
      does NOT comprise an array of "uint32" values but rather a single value.
      Two other parameters have been left blank: "record-types" and "encapsulate".
      The former specifies the comma separated list of option data fields if the
      option comprises a record of data fields. The "record-fields" value should
      be non-empty if the "type" is set to "record". Otherwise it must be left
      blank. The latter parameter specifies the name of the option space being
      encapsulated by the particular option. If the particular option does not
      encapsulate any option space it should be left blank.
      Note that the above set of comments define the format of the new option and do not
      set its values.
      </para>
      <note>
        <para>
          In the current release the default values are not propagated to the
          parser when the new configuration is being set. Therefore, all
          parameters must be specified at all times, even if their values are
          left blank.
        </para>
      </note>

      <para>Once the new option format is defined, its value is set
      in the same way as for a standard option. For example the following
      commands set a global value that applies to all subnets.
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/name "foo"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/code 222</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/data "12345"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      </para>

      <para>New options can take more complex forms than simple use of
      primitives (uint8, string, ipv4-address etc): it is possible to
      define an option comprising a number of existing primitives.
      </para>
      <para>Assume we
      want to define a new option that will consist of an IPv4
      address, followed by unsigned 16 bit integer, followed by a text
      string. Such an option could be defined in the following way:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/name "bar"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/code 223</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/type "record"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/record-types "ipv4-address, uint16, string"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
</screen>
      The "type" is set to "record" to indicate that the option contains
      multiple values of different types.  These types are given as a comma-separated
      list in the "record-types" field and should be those listed in <xref linkend="dhcp-types"/>.
      </para>
      <para>
      The values of the option are set as follows:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/name "bar"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/code 223</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/data "192.0.2.100, 123, Hello World"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      </para>
      "csv-format" is set "true" to indicate that the "data" field comprises a command-separated
      list of values.  The values in the "data" must correspond to the types set in
      the "record-types" field of the option definition.
    </section>

    <section id="dhcp4-vendor-opts">
      <title>DHCPv4 vendor specific options</title>
      <para>
      Currently there are three option spaces defined: dhcp4 (to
      be used in DHCPv4 daemon) and dhcp6 (for the DHCPv6 daemon); there
      is also vendor-encapsulated-options-space, which is empty by default, but options
      can be defined in it. Those options are called vendor-specific
      information options. The following examples show how to define
      an option "foo" with code 1 that consists of an IPv4 address, an
      unsigned 16 bit integer and a string. The "foo" option is conveyed
      in a vendor specific information option.
      </para>
      <para>
      The first step is to define the format of the option:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/name "foo"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/code 1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/space "vendor-encapsulated-options-space"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/type "record"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/record-types "ipv4-address, uint16, string"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/encapsulates ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
     (Note that the option space is set to "vendor-encapsulated-options-space".)
     Once the option format is defined, the next step is to define actual values
     for that option:
     <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/name "foo"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/space "vendor-encapsulated-options-space"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/code 1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/data "192.0.2.3, 123, Hello World"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
    We also set up a dummy value for vendor-opts, the option that conveys our sub-option "foo".
    This is required else the option will not be included in messages sent to the client.
     <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/name "vendor-encapsulated-options"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/code 43</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/csv-format false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/data ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      </para>

      <note>
        <para>
          With this version of BIND 10, the "vendor-encapsulated-options" option
          must be specified in the configuration although it has no configurable
          parameters. If it is not specified, the server will assume that it is
          not configured and will not send it to a client. In the future there
          will be no need to include this option in the configuration.
        </para>

    <section id="dhcp4-option-spaces">

      <title>Nested DHCPv4 options (custom option spaces)</title>
      <para>It is sometimes useful to define completely new option
      space. This is the case when user creates new option in the
      standard option space ("dhcp4 or "dhcp6") and wants this option
      to convey sub-options. Thanks to being in the separate space,
      sub-option codes will have a separate numbering scheme and may
      overlap with codes of standard options.
      </para>
      <para>Note that creation of a new option space when defining
      sub-options for a standard option is not required, because it is
      created by default if the standard option is meant to convey any
      sub-options (see <xref linkend="dhcp4-vendor-opts"/>).
      </para>
      <para>
      Assume that we want to have a DHCPv4 option called "container" with
      code 222 that conveys two sub-options with codes 1 and 2.
      First we need to define the new sub-options:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/name "subopt1"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/code 1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/type "ipv4-address"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/record-types ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>

&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[1]/name "subopt2"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[1]/code 2</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[1]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[1]/type "string"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[1]/record-types ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[1]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[1]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
    Note that we have defined the options to belong to a new option space
    (in this case, "isc").
    </para>
    <para>
    The next step is to define a regular DHCPv4 option with our desired
    code and specify that it should include options from the new option space:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/name "container"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/code 222</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/type "empty"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/record-types ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/encapsulate "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>commit</userinput>
</screen>
    The name of the option space in which the sub-options are defined
    is set in the "encapsulate" field. The "type" field is set to "empty"
    to indicate that this option does not carry any data other than
    sub-options.
    </para>
    <para>
    Finally, we can set values for the new options:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/name "subopt1"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/code 1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[0]/data "192.0.2.3"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
<userinput></userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/name "subopt2"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/code 2</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[1]/data "Hello world"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
<userinput></userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[2]/name "container"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[2]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[2]/code 222</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[2]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-data[2]/data ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
    Even though the "container" option does not carry any data except
    sub-options, the "data" field must be explicitly set to an empty value.
    This is required because in the current version of BIND 10 DHCP, the
    default configuration values are not propagated to the configuration parsers:
    if the "data" is not set the parser will assume that this
    parameter is not specified and an error will be reported.
    </para>
    <para>Note that it is possible to create an option which carries some data
    in addition to the sub-options defined in the encapsulated option space.  For example,
    if the "container" option from the previous example was required to carry an uint16
    value as well as the sub-options, the "type" value would have to be set to "uint16" in
    the option definition. (Such an option would then have the following
    data structure: DHCP header, uint16 value, sub-options.) The value specified
    with the "data" parameter - which should be a valid integer enclosed in quotes,
    e.g. "123" - would then be assigned to the uint16 field in the "container" option.
    </para>
    </section>
        </section>
    <section id="dhcp4-serverid">
      <title>Server Identifier in DHCPv4</title>
      <para>
        The DHCPv4 protocol uses a "server identifier" for clients to be able
        to discriminate between several servers present on the same link: this
        value is an IPv4 address of the server. When started for the first time,
        the DHCPv4 server will choose one of its IPv4 addresses as its server-id,
        and store the chosen value to a file. That file will be read by the server
        and the contained value used whenever the server is subsequently started.
      </para>
      <para>
        It is unlikely that this parameter should ever need to be changed.
        However, if such a need arises, stop the server, edit the file and restart
        the server. (The file is named b10-dhcp4-serverid and by default is
        stored in the "var" subdirectory of the directory in which BIND 10 is installed.
        This can be changed when BIND 10 is built by using "--localstatedir"
        on the "configure" command line.)  The file is a text file that should
        contain an IPv4 address. Spaces are ignored, and no extra characters are allowed
        in this file.
      </para>
    </section>

    <section id="dhcp4-next-server">
      <title>Next server (siaddr)</title>
      <para>In some cases, clients want to obtain configuration from the TFTP server.
      Although there is a dedicated option for it, some devices may use siaddr field
      in the DHCPv4 packet for that purpose. That specific field can be configured
      using next-server directive. It is possible to define it in global scope or
      for a given subnet only. If both are defined, subnet value takes precedence.
      The value in subnet can be set to 0.0.0.0, which means that next-server should
      not be sent. It may also be set to empty string, which means the same as if
      it was not defined at all - use global value.

      <title>Starting and Stopping the DHCPv6 Server</title>

      <para>
        <command>b10-dhcp6</command> is the BIND 10 DHCPv6 server and, like other
        parts of BIND 10, is configured through the <command>bindctl</command>
        program.
      </para>
      <para>
        After starting BIND 10 and starting <command>bindctl</command>, the first step
        in configuring the server is to add <command>b10-dhcp6</command> to the list of running BIND 10 services.
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Init/components b10-dhcp6</userinput>

      <para>
         To remove <command>b10-dhcp6</command> from the set of running services,

      </para>


      <para>
        During start-up the server will detect available network interfaces
        and will attempt to open UDP sockets on all interfaces that
        are up, running, are not loopback, are multicast-capable, and
        have IPv6 address assigned. It will then listen to incoming traffic.
      </para>

    <section id="dhcp6-configuration">
      <title>DHCPv6 Server Configuration</title>
      <para>
        Once the server has been started, it can be configured. To view the
        current configuration, use the following command in <command>bindctl</command>:
        <screen>&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp6</userinput></screen>
        When starting the Dhcp6 daemon for the first time, the default configuration
        will be available. It will look similar to this:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp6</userinput>
Dhcp6/interfaces/	list	(default)
Dhcp6/renew-timer	1000	integer	(default)
Dhcp6/rebind-timer	2000	integer	(default)
Dhcp6/preferred-lifetime	3000	integer	(default)
Dhcp6/valid-lifetime	4000	integer	(default)
Dhcp6/option-data	[]	list	(default)

Dhcp6/subnet6/	list
</screen>
      </para>
      <para>
        To change one of the parameters, simply follow
        the usual <command>bindctl</command> procedure. For example, to make the
        leases longer, change their valid-lifetime parameter:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/valid-lifetime 7200</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Most Dhcp6 parameters are of global scope
        and apply to all defined subnets, unless they are overridden on a
        per-subnet basis.
      </para>
      <note>
        <para>
          With this version of BIND 10, there are a number of known limitations

      </note>

      <section>
      <title>Database Configuration</title>
      <para>
      All leases issued by the server are stored in the lease database.  Currently,
      the only supported database is MySQL
      <footnote>
      <para>
      The server comes with an in-memory database ("memfile") configured as the default
      database. This is used for internal testing and is not supported.  In addition,
      it does not store lease information on disk: lease information will be lost if the
      server is restarted.
      </para>
      </footnote>, and so the server must be configured to
      access the correct database with the appropriate credentials.
      </para>
      <note>
        <para>
            Database access information must be configured for the DHCPv6 server, even if
            it has already been configured for the DHCPv4 server.  The servers store their
            information independently, so each server can use a separate
            database or both servers can use the same database.
          </para>
        </note>
      <para>
      Database configuration is controlled through the Dhcp6/lease-database parameters.
      The type of the database must be set to MySQL (although the string entered is "mysql"):
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/type "mysql"</userinput>
</screen>
      Next, the name of the database is to hold the leases must be set: this is the
      name used when the lease database was created (see <xref linkend="dhcp-database-create"/>).
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/name "<replaceable>database-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
</screen>
      If the database is located on a different system to the DHCPv6 server, the
      database host name must also be specified (although note that this configuration
      may have a severe impact on server performance):
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/host "<replaceable>remote-host-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
</screen>
      The usual state of affairs will be to have the database on the same machine as the
      DHCPv6 server.  In this case, set the value to the empty string (this is the default):
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/host ""</userinput>
</screen>
      </para>
      <para>
      Finally, the credentials of the account under which the server will access the database
      should be set:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/user "<replaceable>user-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/password "<replaceable>password</replaceable>"</userinput>
</screen>
      If there is no password to the account, set the password to the empty string "". (This is also the default.)
      </para>
      <note>
      <para>The password is echoed when entered and is stored in clear text in the BIND 10 configuration
      database.  Improved password security will be added in a future version of BIND 10 DHCP</para>

      <section id="dhcp6-interface-selection">
      <title>Interface selection</title>
      <para>
        When DHCPv6 server starts up, by default it will listen to the DHCP
        traffic and respond to it on all interfaces detected during startup.
        However, in many cases it is desired to configure the server to listen and
        respond on selected interfaces only. The sample commands in this section
        show how to make interface selection using bindctl.
      </para>
      <para>
        The default configuration can be presented with the following command:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp6/interfaces</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp6/interfaces[0] "*" string</userinput></screen>
        An asterisk sign plays a role of the wildcard and means "listen on all interfaces".
      </para>
      <para>
        In order to override the default configuration, the existing entry can be replaced
        with the actual interface name:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/interfaces[0] eth1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Other interface names can be added on one-by-one basis:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/interfaces eth2</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Configuration will now contain two interfaces which can be presented as follows:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp6/interfaces</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp6/interfaces[0]	"eth1"	string</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp6/interfaces[1]	"eth2"	string</userinput></screen>
        When configuration gets committed, the server will start to listen on
        eth1 and eth2 interfaces only.
      </para>
      <para>
        It is possible to use wildcard interface name (asterisk) concurrently with explicit
        interface names:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/interfaces *</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        This will result in the following configuration:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config show Dhcp6/interfaces</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp6/interfaces[0]	"eth1"	string</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp6/interfaces[1]	"eth2"	string</userinput>
<userinput>Dhcp6/interfaces[2]	"*"	string</userinput></screen>
        The presence of the wildcard name implies that server will listen on all interfaces.
        In order to fall back to the previous configuration when server listens on eth1 and eth2:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config remove Dhcp6/interfaces[2]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      </para>
    </section>

    <section id="dhcp6-unicast">
      <title>Unicast traffic support</title>
      <para>
        When DHCPv6 server starts up, by default it listens to the DHCP traffic
        sent to multicast address ff02::1:2 on each interface that it is
        configured to listen on (see <xref linkend="dhcp6-interface-selection"/>).
        In some cases it is useful to configure a server to handle incoming
        traffic sent to the global unicast addresses as well. The most common
        reason for that is to have relays send their traffic to the server
        directly. To configure server to listen on specific unicast address, a
        notation to specify interfaces has been extended. Interface name can be
        optionally followed by a slash, followed by global unicast address that
        server should listen on. That will be done in addition to normal
        link-local binding + listening on ff02::1:2 address. The sample commands
        listed below show how to listen on 2001:db8::1 (a global address)
        configured on the eth1 interface.
      </para>
      <para>
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/interfaces[0] eth1/2001:db8::1</userinput>

        When configuration gets committed, the server will start to listen on

        Care should be taken to specify proper unicast addresses. The server will
        attempt to bind to those addresses specified, without any additional checks.
        That approach is selected on purpose, so in the software can be used to
        communicate over uncommon addresses if the administrator desires so.

      <title>Subnet and Address Pool</title>
      <para>
        The essential role of a DHCPv6 server is address assignment. For this,
        the server has to be configured with at least one subnet and one pool of dynamic
        addresses to be managed. For example, assume that the server
        is connected to a network segment that uses the 2001:db8:1::/64
        prefix. The Administrator of that network has decided that addresses from range
        2001:db8:1::1 to 2001:db8:1::ffff are going to be managed by the Dhcp6
        server. Such a configuration can be achieved in the following way:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/subnet "2001:db8:1::/64"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/pool [ "2001:db8:1::0 - 2001:db8:1::ffff" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Note that subnet is defined as a simple string, but the pool parameter
        is actually a list of pools: for this reason, the pool definition is
        enclosed in square brackets, even though only one range of addresses
        is specified.</para>
        <para>It is possible to define more than one pool in a
        subnet: continuing the previous example, further assume that
        2001:db8:1:0:5::/80 should be also be managed by the server. It could be written as
        2001:db8:1:0:5:: to 2001:db8:1::5:ffff:ffff:ffff, but typing so many 'f's
        is cumbersome. It can be expressed more simply as 2001:db8:1:0:5::/80. Both
        formats are supported by Dhcp6 and can be mixed in the pool list.
        For example, one could define the following pools:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/pool [ "2001:db8:1::1 - 2001:db8:1::ffff", "2001:db8:1:0:5::/80" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        The number of pools is not limited, but for performance reasons it is recommended to
        use as few as possible.
      </para>
      <para>
         The server may be configured to serve more than one subnet. To add a second subnet,
         use a command similar to the following:
        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/subnet "2001:db8:beef::/48"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/pool [ "2001:db8:beef::/48" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
        Arrays are counted from 0. subnet[0] refers to the subnet defined in the
        previous example.  The <command>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</command> command adds
        another (second) subnet. It can be referred to as
        <command>Dhcp6/subnet6[1]</command>. In this example, we allow server to
        dynamically assign all addresses available in the whole subnet. Although
        very wasteful, it is certainly a valid configuration to dedicate the
        whole /48 subnet for that purpose.
      </para>
      <para>
        When configuring a DHCPv6 server using prefix/length notation, please pay
        attention to the boundary values. When specifying that the server should use
        a given pool, it will be able to allocate also first (typically network
        address) address from that pool. For example for pool 2001:db8::/64 the
        2001:db8:: address may be assigned as well. If you want to avoid this,
        please use the "min-max" notation.

        Subnets may also be configured to delegate address prefixes....
        A subnet may have one or more prefix delegation pools.  Each pool has
        a prefixed address, which is specified as a prefix and a prefix length,

      <title>Standard DHCPv6 options</title>
      <para>
        One of the major features of DHCPv6 server is to provide configuration
        options to clients. Although there are several options that require
        special behavior, most options are sent by the server only if the client
        explicitly requested them.  The following example shows how to
        configure DNS servers, which is one of the most frequently used
        options. Numbers in the first column are added for easier reference and
        will not appear on screen. Options specified in this way are considered
        global and apply to all configured subnets.

        <screen>
1. &gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-data</userinput>
2. &gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/name "dns-servers"</userinput>
3. &gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/code 23</userinput>
4. &gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/space "dhcp6"</userinput>
5. &gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/csv-format true</userinput>

7. &gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
      </para>
    <para>
      The first line creates new entry in option-data table. It
      contains information on all global options that the server is
      supposed to configure in all subnets. The second line specifies
      option name. For a complete list of currently supported names,
      see <xref linkend="dhcp6-std-options-list"/>.
      The third line specifies option code, which must match one of the
      values from that
      list. Line 4 specifies option space, which must always
      be set to "dhcp6" as these are standard DHCPv6 options. For
      other name spaces, including custom option spaces, see <xref
      linkend="dhcp6-option-spaces"/>. The fifth line specifies the format in
      which the data will be entered: use of CSV (comma
      separated values) is recommended. The sixth line gives the actual value to
      be sent to clients. Data is specified as a normal text, with
      values separated by commas if more than one value is
      allowed.
    </para>

    <para>
      Options can also be configured as hexadecimal values. If csv-format is
      set to false, the option data must be specified as a string of hexadecimal
      numbers. The
      following commands configure the DNS-SERVERS option for all
      subnets with the following addresses: 2001:db8:1::cafe and
      2001:db8:1::babe.

        whole string should be entered on the same line.)

    <para>
      It is possible to override options on a per-subnet basis.  If
      clients connected to most of your subnets are expected to get the
      same values of a given option, you should use global options: you
      can then override specific values for a small number of subnets.
      On the other hand, if you use different values in each subnet,
      it does not make sense to specify global option values
      (Dhcp6/option-data), rather you should set only subnet-specific values
      (Dhcp6/subnet[X]/option-data[Y]).
     </para>
     <para>
      The following commands override the global
      DNS servers option for a particular subnet, setting a single DNS

      <para>
        In future versions of BIND 10 DHCP, it will not be necessary to specify
        option code, space and csv-format fields, as those fields will be set
        automatically.

    </note>


    <para>
      The currently supported standard DHCPv6 options are
      listed in <xref linkend="dhcp6-std-options-list"/>.
      The "Name" and "Code"
      are the values that should be used as a name in the option-data
      structures. "Type" designates the format of the data: the meanings of
      the various types is given in <xref linkend="dhcp-types"/>.
    </para>
    <para>
      Some options are designated as arrays, which means that more than one
      value is allowed in such an option. For example the option dns-servers
      allows the specification of more than one IPv6 address, so allowing
      clients to obtain the the addresses of multiple DNS servers.

      <para>It is also possible to define options other than the standard ones.
      Assume that we want to define a new DHCPv6 option called "foo" which will have
      code 100 and will convey a single unsigned 32 bit integer value. We can define
      such an option by using the following commands:
      <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/name "foo"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/code 100</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/type "uint32"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/record-types ""</userinput>

&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
      The "false" value of the "array" parameter determines that the option
      does NOT comprise an array of "uint32" values but rather a single value.
      Two other parameters have been left blank: "record-types" and "encapsulate".
      The former specifies the comma separated list of option data fields if the
      option comprises a record of data fields. The "record-fields" value should
      be non-empty if the "type" is set to "record". Otherwise it must be left
      blank. The latter parameter specifies the name of the option space being
      encapsulated by the particular option. If the particular option does not
      encapsulate any option space it should be left blank.
      Note that the above set of comments define the format of the new option and do not
      set its values.
      </para>
      <para>Once the new option format is defined, its value is set
      in the same way as for a standard option. For example the following
      commands set a global value that applies to all subnets.
        <screen>

      <para>
      Assume we
      want to define a new option that will consist of an IPv6
      address, followed by unsigned 16 bit integer, followed by a text
      string. Such an option could be defined in the following way:
<screen>

&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
</screen>
      The "type" is set to "record" to indicate that the option contains
      multiple values of different types.  These types are given as a comma-separated
      list in the "record-types" field and should be those listed in <xref linkend="dhcp-types"/>.
      </para>
      <para>
      The values of the option are set as follows:

      </para>
      "csv-format" is set "true" to indicate that the "data" field comprises a command-separated

      Currently there are three option spaces defined: dhcp4 (to be used

      vendor-opts-space, which is empty by default, but options can be
      defined in it. Those options are called vendor-specific information

      <title>Nested DHCPv6 options (custom option spaces)</title>
      <para>It is sometimes useful to define completely new option
      spaces.  This is useful if the user wants his new option to
      convey sub-options that use separate numbering scheme, for
      example sub-options with codes 1 and 2. Those option codes
      conflict with standard DHCPv6 options, so a separate option
      space must be defined.
      </para>
      <para>Note that it is not required to create new option space when
      defining sub-options for a standard option because it is by
      default created if the standard option is meant to convey
      any sub-options (see <xref linkend="dhcp6-vendor-opts"/>).
      </para>
      <para>
      Assume that we want to have a DHCPv6 option called "container"
      with code 102 that conveys two sub-options with codes 1 and 2.
      First we need to define the new sub-options:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/name "subopt1"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/code 1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/type "ipv6-address"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/record-types ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[0]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
&gt; <userinput></userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[1]/name "subopt2"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[1]/code 2</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[1]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[1]/type "string"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[1]/record-types ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[1]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[1]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
    Note that we have defined the options to belong to a new option space
    (in this case, "isc").
    </para>
    <para>
The next step is to define a regular DHCPv6 option and specify that it
should include options from the isc option space:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-def</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/name "container"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/code 102</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/space "dhcp6"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/type "empty"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/array false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/record-types ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/encapsulate "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
    The name of the option space in which the sub-options are defined
    is set in the "encapsulate" field. The "type" field is set to "empty"
    which imposes that this option does not carry any data other than
    sub-options.
    </para>
    <para>
    Finally, we can set values for the new options:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/name "subopt1"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/code 1</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[0]/data "2001:db8::abcd"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
&gt; <userinput></userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[1]/name "subopt2"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[1]/space "isc"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[1]/code 2</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[1]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[1]/data "Hello world"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
&gt; <userinput></userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-data</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[2]/name "container"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[2]/space "dhcp6"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[2]/code 102</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[2]/csv-format true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-data[2]/data ""</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
    Even though the "container" option does not carry any data except
    sub-options, the "data" field must be explicitly set to an empty value.
    This is required because in the current version of BIND 10 DHCP, the
    default configuration values are not propagated to the configuration parsers:
    if the "data" is not set the parser will assume that this
    parameter is not specified and an error will be reported.
    </para>
    <para>Note that it is possible to create an option which carries some data
    in addition to the sub-options defined in the encapsulated option space.  For example,
    if the "container" option from the previous example was required to carry an uint16
    value as well as the sub-options, the "type" value would have to be set to "uint16" in
    the option definition. (Such an option would then have the following
    data structure: DHCP header, uint16 value, sub-options.) The value specified
    with the "data" parameter - which should be a valid integer enclosed in quotes,
    e.g. "123" - would then be assigned to the uint16 field in the "container" option.
    </para>
    </section>

      <section id="dhcp6-config-subnets">
        <title>Subnet Selection</title>
          <para>
          The DHCPv6 server may receive requests from local (connected to the
          same subnet as the server) and remote (connecting via relays) clients.
          As server may have many subnet configurations defined, it must select
          appropriate subnet for a given request. To do this, the server first
          checks if there is only one subnet defined and source of the packet is
          link-local. If this is the case, the server assumes that the only
          subnet defined is local and client is indeed connected to it. This
          check simplifies small deployments.
          </para>
          <para>
          If there are two or more subnets defined, the server can not assume
          which of those (if any) subnets are local. Therefore an optional
          "interface" parameter is available within a subnet definition to
          designate that a given subnet is local, i.e. reachable directly over
          specified interface. For example the server that is intended to serve
          a local subnet over eth0 may be configured as follows:
<screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/subnet "2001:db8:beef::/48"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/pool [ "2001:db8:beef::/48" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/interface "eth0"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
        </para>
      </section>

      <section id="dhcp6-relays">
        <title>DHCPv6 Relays</title>
        <para>
          A DHCPv6 server with multiple subnets defined must select the
          appropriate subnet when it receives a request from client.  For clients
          connected via relays, two mechanisms are used:
        </para>
        <para>
          The first uses the linkaddr field in the RELAY_FORW message. The name
          of this field is somewhat misleading in that it does not contain a link-layer
          address: instead, it holds an address (typically a global address) that is
          used to identify a link. The DHCPv6 server checks if the address belongs
          to a defined subnet and, if it does, that subnet is selected for the client's
          request.
        </para>
        <para>
          The second mechanism is based on interface-id options. While forwarding a client's
          message, relays may insert an interface-id option into the message that
          identifies the interface on the relay that received the message. (Some
          relays allow configuration of that parameter, but it is sometimes
          hardcoded and may range from the very simple (e.g. "vlan100") to the very cryptic:
          one example seen on real hardware was "ISAM144|299|ipv6|nt:vp:1:110"). The
          server can use this information to select the appropriate subnet.
          The information is also returned to the relay which then knows the
          interface to use to transmit the response to the client. In order for
          this to work successfully, the relay interface IDs must be unique within
          the network and the server configuration must match those values.
        </para>
        <para>
          When configuring the DHCPv6 server, it should be noted that two
          similarly-named parameters can be configured for a subnet:
          <itemizedlist>
            <listitem><simpara>
              "interface" defines which local network interface can be used
              to access a given subnet.
            </simpara></listitem>
            <listitem><simpara>
              "interface-id" specifies the content of the interface-id option
              used by relays to identify the interface on the relay to which
              the response packet is sent.
            </simpara></listitem>
          </itemizedlist>
          The two are mutually exclusive: a subnet cannot be both reachable locally
          (direct traffic) and via relays (remote traffic). Specifying both is a
          configuration error and the DHCPv6 server will refuse such a configuration.
        </para>

        <para>
          To specify interface-id with value "vlan123", the following commands can
          be used:
          <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/subnet "2001:db8:beef::/48"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/pool [ "2001:db8:beef::/48" ]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/interface-id "vland123"</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>

        </para>
      </section>

   </section>

    <section id="dhcp6-serverid">
      <title>Server Identifier in DHCPv6</title>
      <para>The DHCPv6 protocol uses a "server identifier" (also known
      as a DUID) for clients to be able to discriminate between several
      servers present on the same link.  There are several types of
      DUIDs defined, but <ulink url="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3315">RFC 3315</ulink> instructs servers to use DUID-LLT if
      possible. This format consists of a link-layer (MAC) address and a
      timestamp. When started for the first time, the DHCPv6 server will
      automatically generate such a DUID and store the chosen value to
      a file.  That file is read by the server
      and the contained value used whenever the server is subsequently started.
      </para>
      <para>
        It is unlikely that this parameter should ever need to be changed.
        However, if such a need arises, stop the server, edit the file and restart
        the server. (The file is named b10-dhcp6-serverid and by default is
        stored in the "var" subdirectory of the directory in which BIND 10 is installed.
        This can be changed when BIND 10 is built by using "--localstatedir"
        on the "configure" command line.)  The file is a text file that contains
        double digit hexadecimal values
        separated by colons. This format is similar to typical MAC address
        format. Spaces are ignored. No extra characters are allowed in this
        file.

      <title>Logging configuration</title>

      <para>

        The logging system in BIND 10 is configured through the
        Logging module. All BIND 10 modules will look at the
        configuration in Logging to see what should be logged and
        to where.

        <title>Loggers</title>

        <para>

          Within BIND 10, a message is logged through a component
          called a "logger". Different parts of BIND 10 log messages
          through different loggers, and each logger can be configured
          independently of one another.

        </para>

        <para>

          In the Logging module, you can specify the configuration
          for zero or more loggers; any that are not specified will
          take appropriate default values.

        <para>

          The three most important elements of a logger configuration
          are the <option>name</option> (the component that is

          Each logger in the system has a name, the name being that
          of the component using it to log messages. For instance,
          if you want to configure logging for the resolver module,
          you add an entry for a logger named <quote>Resolver</quote>. This
          configuration will then be used by the loggers in the
          Resolver module, and all the libraries used by it.
              </para>

<!-- TODO: later we will have a way to know names of all modules

Right now you can only see what their names are if they are running
(a simple 'help' without anything else in bindctl for instance).

 -->

        <para>

          If you want to specify logging for one specific library
          within the module, you set the name to
          <replaceable>module.library</replaceable>.  For example, the
          logger used by the nameserver address store component
          has the full name of <quote>Resolver.nsas</quote>. If
          there is no entry in Logging for a particular library,
          it will use the configuration given for the module.

<!-- TODO: how to know these specific names?

We will either have to document them or tell the administrator to
specify module-wide logging and see what appears...

-->

        </para>

        <para>

<!-- TODO: severity has not been covered yet -->

          To illustrate this, suppose you want the cache library
          to log messages of severity DEBUG, and the rest of the
          resolver code to log messages of severity INFO. To achieve
          this you specify two loggers, one with the name
          <quote>Resolver</quote> and severity INFO, and one with
          the name <quote>Resolver.cache</quote> with severity
          DEBUG. As there are no entries for other libraries (e.g.
          the nsas), they will use the configuration for the module
          (<quote>Resolver</quote>), so giving the desired behavior.

        </para>

        <para>

          One special case is that of a module name of <quote>*</quote>
          (asterisks), which is interpreted as <emphasis>any</emphasis>
          module. You can set global logging options by using this,
          including setting the logging configuration for a library
          that is used by multiple modules (e.g. <quote>*.config</quote>
          specifies the configuration library code in whatever
          module is using it).

        </para>

        <para>

          If there are multiple logger specifications in the
          configuration that might match a particular logger, the
          specification with the more specific logger name takes
          precedence. For example, if there are entries for
          both <quote>*</quote> and <quote>Resolver</quote>, the
          resolver module &mdash; and all libraries it uses &mdash;
          will log messages according to the configuration in the
          second entry (<quote>Resolver</quote>). All other modules
          will use the configuration of the first entry
          (<quote>*</quote>). If there was also a configuration
          entry for <quote>Resolver.cache</quote>, the cache library
          within the resolver would use that in preference to the
          entry for <quote>Resolver</quote>.

        </para>

        <para>

          One final note about the naming. When specifying the
          module name within a logger, use the name of the module
          as specified in <command>bindctl</command>, e.g.
          <quote>Resolver</quote> for the resolver module,
          <quote>Xfrout</quote> for the xfrout module, etc. When
          the message is logged, the message will include the name
          of the logger generating the message, but with the module
          name replaced by the name of the process implementing
          the module (so for example, a message generated by the
          <quote>Auth.cache</quote> logger will appear in the output
          with a logger name of <quote>b10-auth.cache</quote>).

        </para>

        <section>
          <title>severity (string)</title>

        <para>

          This specifies the category of messages logged.
          Each message is logged with an associated severity which
          may be one of the following (in descending order of
          severity):

          When the severity of a logger is set to one of these
          values, it will only log messages of that severity, and
          the severities above it. The severity may also be set to
          NONE, in which case all messages from that logger are
          inhibited.

                level is set to DEBUG), you may occasionally see some messages
                jumbled up together.  This is due to a combination of the way
                that messages are written to the screen and the unbuffered
                nature of the standard error stream.  If this occurs, it is

            <simpara>
	      Due to a limitation of the underlying logging library
	      (log4cplus), rolling over the log files (from ".1" to
	      ".2", etc) may show odd results: There can be
	      multiple small files at the timing of roll over.  This
	      can happen when multiple BIND 10 processes try to roll
	      over the files simultaneously.
	      Version 1.1.0 of log4cplus solved this problem, so if
	      this or higher version of log4cplus is used to build
	      BIND 10, it shouldn't happen.  Even for older versions
	      it is normally expected to happen rarely unless the log
	      messages are produced very frequently by multiple
	      different processes.

          Now that we have set it, and checked each value along

          And that's it. Once we have found whatever it was we

          Each message written by BIND 10 to the configured logging
          destinations comprises a number of components that identify
          the origin of the message and, if the message indicates
          a problem, information about the problem that may be
          useful in fixing it.

            The source of the message.  This comprises two components:
            the BIND 10 process generating the message (in this
            case, <command>b10-resolver</command>) and the module
            within the program from which the message originated
            (which in the example is the asynchronous I/O link
            module, asiolink).

            The message identification.  Every message in BIND 10
            has a unique identification, which can be used as an
            index into the <ulink

          <term>error 111 opening TCP socket to 127.0.0.1(53)</term>
          <listitem><para>
              A brief description of the cause of the problem.
              Within this text, information relating to the condition
              that caused the message to be logged will be included.
              In this example, error number 111 (an operating
              system-specific error number) was encountered when
              trying to open a TCP connection to port 53 on the
              local system (address 127.0.0.1).  The next step
              would be to find out the reason for the failure by
              consulting your system's documentation to identify
              what error number 111 means.
