// This is an example configuration file for the DHCPv6 server in Kea.
// It is a basic scenario with one IPv6 subnet configured. It demonstrates
// how to configure Kea to use various backends to store leases:
// - memfile
// - MySQL
// - PostgreSQL
// - CQL (Cassandra) backend

{ "Dhcp6":

{
// Kea is told to listen on ethX interface only.
  "interfaces-config": {
    "interfaces": [ "ethX" ]
  },

// We need to specify lease type. Exactly one lease-database section
// should be present. Make sure you uncomment only one.

// 1. memfile backend. Leases information will be stored in flat CSV file.
// This is the easiest backend to use as it does not require any extra
// dependencies or services running.
  "lease-database": {
      "type": "memfile",
      "persist": true,
      "lfc-interval": 3600
  },

// 2. MySQL backend. Leases will be stored in MySQL database. Make sure it
// is up, running and properly initialized. See kea-admin documentation
// for details on how to initialize the database. The only strictly required
// parameters are type and name. If other parameters are not specified,
// Kea will assume the database is available on localhost, that user and
// password is not necessary to connect and that timeout is 5 seconds.
// Kea must be compiled with --with-dhcp-mysql option to use this backend.
//  "lease-database": {
//      "type": "mysql",

//      "user": "keatest",
//      "password": "secret1",
//      "connect-timeout": 3
//  },

// 3. PostgreSQL backend. Leases will be stored in PostgreSQL database. Make
// sure it is up, running and properly initialized. See kea-admin documentation
// for details on how to initialize the database. The only strictly required
// parameters are type and name. If other parameters are not specified,
// Kea will assume the database is available on localhost, that user and
// password is not necessary to connect and that timeout is 5 seconds.
// Kea must be compiled with --with-dhcp-pgsql option to use this backend.

//  },

// 4. CQL (Cassandra) backend. Leases will be stored in Cassandra
// database. Make sure it is up, running and properly initialized. See
// kea-admin documentation for details on how to initialize the
// database. The only strictly required parameters are type, keyspace
// and contact-points. At least one contact point must be specified, but
// more than one is required for redundancy. Make sure you specify the
// contact points without spaces. Kea must be compiled with --with-cql
// option to use this backend.

//      "keyspace": "keatest",
//      "contact-points": "192.0.2.1,192.0.2.2,192.0.2.3",
//      "port": 9042
//  },

// Addresses will be assigned with preferred and valid lifetimes
// being 3000 and 4000, respectively. Client is told to start
// renewing after 1000 seconds. If the server does not respond
// after 2000 seconds since the lease was granted, client is supposed
// to start REBIND procedure (emergency renewal that allows switching
// to a different server).

// least subnet and pool entries.
