[Kea-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Need to have DHCP Relay in order for Kea to work...?

Yes, here’s the interface-config section that I have defined:
    "interfaces-config": {
        "interfaces": [ "eno2/192.168.10.3","eno2.11/192.168.11.3","eno2.12/192.168.12.3" ],
        "dhcp-socket-type": "udp",
        "service-sockets-max-retries": 5,
        "service-sockets-retry-wait-time": 5000
    },

…and from further reading on the interfaces-config section, specifically the dhcp-socket-type configuration:
Using UDP sockets automatically disables the reception of broadcast packets from directly connected clients. This effectively means that UDP sockets can be used for relayed traffic only. When using raw sockets, both the traffic from the directly connected clients and the relayed traffic are handled.

So…I’m doing this to myself. 😖

I’m assuming I should either remove this line or set it to raw, which are effectively the same thing I believe [I like to have fully qualified configs when possible to take out the guess work].

Once I do this though and restart the service, I think I can disable the relay and then the interfaces should start picking up the traffic.
