Kea DHCP - Spawning client classes and limiting IP addresses

[Jason Creviston]

Hey,

New to Kea and trying to get class spawning to work. This was easy to figure out and setup with the EOL'd ISC DHCP server software, but having trouble getting it to work in Kea.

I'm testing using three laptops, and all three are getting IPs. I'm trying to limit IPs to two. I saw in the docs that this mechanism doesn't work 100% under heavy load, but I'm literally just testing with three devices - no other devices are using the server.

Anything look incorrect or missing?

Not sure if inlined images will be preserved or attached, but below is a partial config of trying to spawn classes based on dhcp option 82 info.

I read that the order of hooks is important, so I have it towards the top:

And here is a look at the user context in the leases file. They all appear to have the same content - which I'd expect when they're all behind a single ONT device (implying the same option 82 info):
