Setup: Ubuntu server 18.04.2 Kea 1.4.0-P1
We are migrating our subnets from isc dhcp to kea dhcp. We thought we had
everything ironed out then this came up.
We get these messages in kea_dhcp.log
"
kea_dhcp 2019-07-24 14:57:37.878 ERROR [kea-dhcp4.packets/23825]
DHCP4_PACKET_PROCESS_STD_EXCEPTION exception occurred during packet processing:
failed to parse an option '1' holding string value - empty value is not accepted
"
We found this in the messages doc but didn't find specific information to
troubleshoot it.
We changed logging to debug with no luck in capturing anything else about the
discover.
We are only seeing these issues so far when something sends option 60
information. Specifically Meraki devices. We are not doing anything with
option 60 in our config.
The mac address of the device does not appear in the logs which makes
troubleshooting harder. I did get the discover in a tcp dump from one of the
affected devices. That packet is below with our information and the customer's
redacted.
