<br>
<br>
I have kea installed on a debian 13.
<br>
<br>
I can get the dhcp4 daemon running with a single kea-dhcp4.conf
file.
<br>
<br>
Now, I would like put all reservations in a separate file by using
the include directive:
<br>
<br>
},
<br>
// "reservations": [
<br>
// { "hw-address": "00:11:22:aa:bb:cc", "ip-address":
"172.17.1.5" }
<br>
// ],
<br>
<?include “reservation.json”?>
<br>
// ,
<br>
//
<br>
<br>
the reservation.json is this:
<br>
<br>
<br>
"reservations": [
<br>
{ "hw-address": "00:11:22:aa:bb:cc", "ip-address":
"172.17.1.5" }
<br>
],
<br>
<br>
gen 14 17:25:21 testkea (ea-dhcp4)[613]: kea-dhcp4-server.service:
ConfigurationDirectory 'kea' already exists but the mode is
different. (File system: 750 ConfigurationDirectoryMode: 755)
<br>

<br>

<br>
<br>
Any help about this problem?
<br>
