  • kea not responding

    From Charles Curley@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 27 23:20:01 2025
    Well, I seem to have kea up and running, or so journalctl indicates.

    I set up a minimal network, and there are link lights. kea did get a
    query from a test device, but as far as I can tell never responded. Any
    ideas?

    Yes. Sniff with your favorite network sniffer[0].

    And elaborate on "kea did get q query from a test device".

    Sorry about that. I'd get a query but kea would not reply. E.g.:

    INFO DHCP4_QUERY_LABEL received query: [hwtype=1 32:b0:84:3b:72:86], cid=[01:32:b0:84:3b:72:86], tid=0x63e19a6a

    However, to make my test network work, I realized I should take the
    relevant Ethernet port out of NetworkManager's control. That meant
    editing /etc/network/interfaces to add a static IP address, and that
    meant rebooting. I now get IP addresses being served and lots of
    logging.

    What about:
    And elaborate on "kea did get q query from a test device".

    as in: Share with your peers
    how the test in the server-client-setup was done.



    and that meant rebooting.

    `sudo systemctl restart networking`


    I now get IP addresses being served and lots of logging.

    Please express an explicite "kea works for me" or something alike.
