Hi Darren,

What is the type of this id? Is it unsigned int or unsigned short int type in C++ or other type?



Best Regards,
Yu

As far as "naming" subnets, you may want to look at "5.1.2. Comments
and User Context":
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.1/arm/config.html*comments-and-user-context__;Iw!!Hit2Ag!3Ckp7Lw4b4mFKtkRtTgmbo7xdzFSJt-lr9AAi_YCePvfT08wEXH9mFmRKb4vmTAoivcUUxm2xzZsuWTkM63D$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.1/arm/config.html*comments-and-user-context__;Iw!!Hit2Ag!3Ckp7Lw4b4mFKtkRtTgmbo7xdzFSJt-lr9AAi_YCePvfT08wEXH9mFmRKb4vmTAoivcUUxm2xzZsuWTkM63D$> .
There is an example there that shows how you might use this mechanism
to identify a subnet:

"Dhcp4": {
    "subnet4": [{
        "id": 1,
        "subnet": "192.0.2.0/24",
        "pools": [{ "pool": "192.0.2.10 - 192.0.2.20" }],
        "comment": "second floor"
    }]
}

Thank you,
Darren Ankney

First, seems currently we can only assign numeric IDs to subnets, but for subnet management, it’s more convenient to use a string, is it possible to add this feature? Second, how kea design to distribute the ip addresses inside of the subnet esp ipv6 subnet? Is it totally random? Thank you.
