[Kea-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Two questions regarding to kea subnet configuration

[Darren Ankney]

Hi Yu,

I do not know. This is in the source:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea so you could find out, of
course.  I am not very familiar with C++ and so should not attempt to
answer this question.

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.
