RAI based flex-id reservations
RAI based flex-id reservations:
When providing dhcp services for customer equipment, maintaining a consistent IP
address is often desired even when customers replace their equipment.
Host reservations may be defined using a flex-id host identifier based on some
RAI options; however, the lease data will typically contain the hw-address as
the identifier.
This works well until the customer replaces his equipment and there is an active
lease on the reserved address with the old client's hw-address. In this case,
Kea will regard this as an address conflict.
Enabling the "replace-client-id" flex-id flag can mitigate this; however, changing
the value of this flag on a running Kea server will cause address conflicts.
Is there a way to address this problem?
