[Kea-users] Clarification: When does the KEA send NAK packets?

Hi guys,

We are currently in a migration scenario from the old ISC DHCP to KEA DHCP and having some troubles with NAKs. Hopefully you can help me to clarify the situation.

To have a smooth transition we want to have both DHCPs serving requests for the known clients.
Our idea was to disable “authoritative” and the new KEA should stay silent on non migrated devices.

It seems to work partly as it stays silent on DISCOVERS, but for RENEWs it does not work. Our KEA is sending NAKs which causes that some client do not retry to get an ip address and the customers need to reboot their devices. 

What’s the intended behaviour and are the any ideas to solve the task? Is there a way to disable NAKs completely?

Thank you,

Mathias
