Sorry, I sent this to the kea-users mail group, but I think it really should
have gone here:
I haven't seen any mention of this in any open tickets from what I could
see, but I would think it would be nice to have the ability to
add/edit/delete interfaces from the interfaces-config interfaces list via
the api and/or the kea-ctrl-agent. I am trying to use kea in combination
with stork for a dhcp server solution and I want to be able to adjust the
list of interfaces through the stork management software, or perhaps have
the list generated.
The use case I would imagine is something like this: kea is installed on a
server, but it is not known at the time of configuration what all interfaces
are installed, and or what IP's will be assigned to those interfaces yet.
Now the server is installed, and I am managing the server's configuration
through the stork interface ( which uses the kea control api) and then I
look at the available interfaces with their IPs, and select which ones I
want kea to use. Additionally, perhaps later a new interface is installed or
an ip is changed, and one of the interfaces in that interfaces list needs to
be added or updated.
Currently, it requires me to go to that server and manually modify the
kea-dhcp configuration file's list of available interfaces, then assign some
of those interfaces to pools/subnets. I would think it would be a good
feature to have to be able to manage this through an api interface or
through the kea-ctrl-agent ( and then open it up to be configured for stork
to manage).
Does this make sense as a feature to have? I would think it would go in
either kea-ctrl-agent or stork-agent.
Thanks,
Zachary Noble
