7
9 kea-dhcp-ddns [-v] [-V] [-W] [-d] [-c config-file] [-t config-file]
10
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
17 The arguments are as follows:
18
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.
37
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/.

51 The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.

54 There are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project.
55 kea-users (kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while
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.

61 ISC provides professional support for Kea services. See
62 https://www.isc.org/kea/ for details.
