[Kea-users] DDNS remains off - DDNS: disabled

[Peter Davies]

Hi There,
   To get ddns working you need to do three things:
1 Configure Connectivity Parameters
2 Configure Behavioral Parameters
see 8.2.18 DDNS for DHCPv4 https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-1.8.2/arm/dhcp4-srv.html#ddns-for-dhcpv4
3. Configure the kea-dhcp-ddns, daemon
see https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-1.8.2/arm/ddns.html#the-dhcp-ddns-server

Looking at your config snippet you have no connectivity parameters?
The Kea ARM contains the following example:
"Dhcp4": {
"dhcp-ddns": {
// Connectivity parameters
"enable-updates": false,
"server-ip": "127.0.0.1",
"server-port":53001,
"sender-ip":"",
"sender-port":0,
"max-queue-size":1024,
"ncr-protocol":"UDP",
"ncr-format":"JSON"
},
// Behavioral parameters (global)
"ddns-send-updates": true,
"ddns-override-no-update": false,
"ddns-override-client-update": false,
"ddns-replace-client-name": "never",
"ddns-generated-prefix": "myhost",
"ddns-qualifying-suffix": "",
"ddns-update-on-renew": false,
"ddns-use-conflict-resolution": true,
"hostname-char-set": "",
"hostname-char-replacement": ""
...
}


Kind Regards Peter

Hi there!


do I need something else to enable DDNS? The log shows "DDNS: disabled".
"ddns-send-updates" have to be used -
https://readthedocs.org/projects/kea/downloads/pdf/latest/ table 8 p.
138 lists "ddns-send-update" (without "s") - using the version w/o "s"
results in complaints in the log. Is this a feature?
