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

[mxhajduczenia at gmail.com]

I can confirm - the lack of support for string ID is pretty annoying right
now, and forces me to create ranges for specific applications, which will
not scale well in production. 

 

On the second one, I observed that it goes numerically from the bottom of
the pool range up, so ::2, ::3, etc. In ISC, it seems to have been random
selection from the pool, with attempt made to populate all stanzas. Kea
seems to prefer numerically incrementing assignment, which is pretty bad for
security purposes (if a user knows it, they can pretty much guess previous
assignments). I preferred personally the old ISC way of doing things.

Greetings,

 

I have two questions related to the kea design. 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. 

 

 

 

 

Best Regards,

Yu
