NAME

6       kea-dhcp-ddns - DHCP-DDNS process in Kea
7

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, a 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,  available
48       at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.
49
50       The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.

MAILING LISTS AND SUPPORT

53       There  are  two  public  mailing  lists  available for the Kea project.
54       kea-users (kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while
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.
59
60       ISC   provides   professional   support   for   Kea    services.    See
61       https://www.isc.org/kea/ for details.

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.
