I am using subnet6-add command from subnet6 hook library for adding subnets . And i am not assigning subnet id and let the system maintain auto generated value based on the notes below . it works well until we restart the service , on restart subnet-id
gets reset and starts from 1 again which fails due to duplicate ID . i am using version 2.1.6. can you shed some light ?</div>

This works well, unless a subnet is manually created with a value bigger than one previously used. For example, if subnet4-add is called five times, each without an ID, Kea will assign IDs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and it will work just fine. However, if subnet4-add is called five times, with the first subnet having the subnet-id of value 3 and the remaining ones having no subnet-id, the operation will fail. The first command (with the explicit value) will use subnet-id 3; the second command will create a subnet with id of 1; the third will use a value of 2; and finally the fourth will have the subnet-id value auto-generated as 3. However, since there is already a subnet with that ID, the process will fail.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;line-height:24px;margin:0px 0px 24px;font-size:16px;font-family:Lato, proxima-nova, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;background-color:rgb(252, 252, 252)" class="ContentPasted2">The general recommendation is either never use explicit values, so the auto-generated values will always work; or always use explicit values, so the auto-generation is never used. The two approaches can be mixed only if the administrator understands how internal automatic subnet-id generation works in Kea.</p><br></pre>
