SYNOPSIS

9       kea-dhcp-ddns [-v] [-V] [-W] [-d] [-c config-file] [-t config-file]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  kea-dhcp-ddns  service  process  requests an update of DNS mapping
13       based on DHCP lease change events. It runs as a separate  process  that
14       expects to receive Name Change Requests from Kea DHCP servers.
15

ARGUMENTS

17       The arguments are as follows:

19       -v     Displays the version.
20
21       -V     Displays the extended version.
22
23       -W     Displays the configuration report.
24
25       -d     Sets  the  logging  level to debug with extra verbosity. This is
26              primarily for development purposes in stand-alone mode.
27
28       -c config-file
29              Specifies the configuration file with the configuration for  the
30              DHCP-DDNS  server. It may also contain configuration entries for
31              other Kea services.
32
33       -t config-file
34              Checks the syntax of the  configuration  file  and  reports  the
35              first  error if any. Note that not all parameters are completely
36              checked, in particular, service socket is not opened.

DOCUMENTATION

39       Kea comes with an extensive Kea  Administrator  Reference  Manual  that
40       covers all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installa‐
41       tion, configuration, configuration examples, and much  more.  Kea  also
42       features  a  Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea
43       can print with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are
44       available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea distribu‐
45       tion.     The     Kea      documentation      is      available      at
46       https://kb.isc.org/docs/kea-administrator-reference-manual .
47
48       Kea  source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide. Its online
49       version is available at https://jenkins.isc.org/job/Kea_doc/doxygen/.

56       kea-dev (kea-dev at lists.isc.org)  is  intended  for  Kea  developers,
57       prospective  contributors,  and  other  advanced  users. Both lists are
58       available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides  best-effort
59       support on both of those lists.

HISTORY

65       The b10-dhcp-ddns process was first coded in May 2013 by  Thomas  Mark‐
66       walder.
67
68       Kea  became  a standalone server and the BIND 10 framework was removed.
69       The DHCP-DDNS server binary was renamed to kea-dhcp-ddns in July  2014.
70       Kea 1.0.0 was released in December 2015.
