As of now kea does not monitor the state of network interfaces. It does
not utilize network interfaces started after b10-dhcp4 module
initialization. This means it's not quite compliant with the following
part of RFC 2131:
"The 'server identifier' field is used both to identify a DHCP server
in a DHCP message and as a destination address from clients to
servers. A server with multiple network addresses MUST be prepared
to to accept any of its network addresses as identifying that server
in a DHCP message."
How to reproduce:
config add Init/components b10-dhcp4
config set Init/components/b10-dhcp4/kind dispensable
config commit
start new network interface
send DHCP discover to this new interface
Expected Result:
server should respond to DHCPDISCOVER
Actual Result:
server will discard DHCPDISCOVER
