Hello Kea Users and Devs
Were currently using the ISC-DHCPD in our cable and ftth network. All the devices need a dedicated configuration file, which we generate either statically or dynamically with the execute statement. Unfortunately when an access systems breaks, we have several hundred requests at the same time and the script, which generates the config-files takes a rather long time (~1-2 secs per cpe). During this time the whole dhcpd isnt handling out other leases Does kea have something like the execute statement? Im sure there is a way to do it with a hook, but Im not a programmer and Im not sure if we can get the hook right. There is already a hook, which lets you run your own script (see New Kea hook to call external scripts: kea-hook-runscript) Tomek Mrugalski wrote: One thing you should consider in the future is that if the script takes a long time to execute, it will freeze whole Kea execution. I hoped that KEA would be different and that the freeze would only affect the current client/mac address or the current transaction id Is there a way around this limitation? How or where are others generating the configfiles for e.g. a cable modem or a SIP phone? Are you doing this on your dhcp or on your tftp server? Best regards Philippe Mächler
