Hi,

Another suggestion:
Have you checked with wireshark what the request and offer is?

We have had the same issue when it came to unicast and broadcast offers.
If the host had broadcast flag set in discover, it would reject any offers sent 
as unicast.
Most clients do not differ on this, but PXE, UEFI, iDRAC and some specific 
windows 7 installations CAN filter them if there is the slightest mismatch.

Kea 0.9 and 1.0 had default unicast response even though client asked for 
broadcast. Was changed in 1.1 I think.

Br,
Thomas

Subject: Re: [Kea-users] Hosts refusing lease offers?

Hi Klaus,

I remember a similar tricky situation. Some clients complaining about leases 
offers.

Then I find a strange solution: configuring KEA to send "renew-timer" and 
"rebind-timer" optional parameters together with "valid-lifetime" (mandatory).

This way:
  "valid-lifetime": X,
  "renew-timer": 50% * X,
  "rebind-timer": 87,5% * X,
Hope this clue helps you someway.

Regards,

Hi there,

I've got a bit of a puzzler on my hands. We've racked some new gear and are 
preparing to provision it.

Scope definitions have been added to Kea, and are active.

Hosts are on the network, and are generating DHCP requests.

Kea is responding as expected and offering leases, but none of these machines 
(6 racks worth) are accepting the offers, leaving them stranded.

The hardware is Dell, so it's actually the iDRAC that's not leasing, but a 
different batch of similar hardware in other racks (installed two weeks ago) 
had no such issues.

We're reasonably confident that it's not something on the switches, but for the 
life of me I can't identify why these aren't accepting leases.

I've attached a sample of the debug output in the log (cranked up to 99) with 
only DNS info redacted.

Again, the most confusing thing here is that a comparable platform in the same 
data center in different racks had no issues, and the only change is additional 
DHCP scopes.

thanks,
Klaus
