Hi Nathan, I think the reason you had trouble setting up an account in Gitlab was that you have an @gmail.com address. There has been some lock-down needed due to a large amount of spam. If you have a business email, you could probably use that.
As far as: "-o 82,1300" not working, when sending option 82 data, you have to actually specify the entire suboption (id+length+data) as shown here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3046#section-2.0 It also must be converted to hex as would appear in a DHCP packet. perfdhcp won't do any of this for you. It will merely take what you provide, compute a length , and send: 0x52<length><your data> (at least I think that is correct). The easiest thing to do would be to capture DHCP traffic that already contains this option, open in wireshark, and copy out the hex for the sub-option as a hex stream. This should give you exactly what you need to use on the command line. For some tips (though they are instructions for templates) see here: https://kb.isc.org/docs/how-to-use-perfdhcp-benchmarking-tool Thank you, Darren Ankney On Thu, Jul 17, 2025 at 9:33 PM Nathan Faulkner <nathanfaulkne...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I was trying to create an account to report a couple of kea issues, but I got > an "Email is not allowed for sign-up." message. > > I'm running kea 2.6.2. > > Here are the issues I was planning to open: > > perfdhcp should specify the relay agent relay port sub option when a local > port is specified.
