[Kea-users] kea dhcp4 not responding to requests

[Brendan Kearney]

list members,

i am working to convert from dhcpd to kea, and have the configs i think 
i want, but in testing, the kea-dhcp4 instances are not responding to 
relayed requests.  i have dhcp-socket-ype set to UDP, so relayed packets 
should be responded to, as well as declaring the relay/ip-address in the 
subnet definition.  i can see the relay send the dhcp packets, and the 
hosts running kea-dhcp4 see the incoming packets, but there is no 
indication that kea is accepting the packet, much less responding to 
them. tcpdump shows no response and running kea-dhcp4 in the foreground 
does not show anything past the startup of the listener.  it seems i 
have some odd config that is preventing kea from acknowledging the 
incoming request.

i can post the config json, the debug output or whatever else is needed, 
but how do i find out why the listener is started but not accepting 
incoming requests?

thanks in advance,
