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:
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.

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 https://kea.readthedocs.io.
46
47       Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide. Its  online
48       version is available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.
49
50       The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.

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

HISTORY

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