To get started with Kea DHCP in Micetro, refer to Adding a Kea DHCP server to Micetro.
There are several actions specific to managing ISC Kea DHCP servers and services in Micetro. You can:
- Manage Kea client classification
- Handle external changes to a Kea server's configuration file
- Resolve synchronization conflicts
You can also define standard and custom DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 options on your Kea DHCP server. For more information, refer to Defining options on Kea DHCP servers.
If you want to enable High Availability for your Kea DHCP servers, the servers must be configured for High Availability before the primary server is added to Micetro. If High Availability is set up properly, Micetro will recognize the failover nodes and the method (load balancing, hot standby, etc.) and configure the server objects accordingly when you add your servers to Micetro. For more information, refer to Kea DHCP failover relationships.
Kea Control Agent
The Kea Control Agent serves as a crucial component, operating as a daemon that provides a RESTful control interface for the seamless management of Kea servers. This agent can receive control commands via HTTP and can either forward them to the respective Kea servers or execute them on its own.
Using the Kea Control Agent, you can add Kea DHCP servers to Micetro without a DHCP agent running on every machine hosting Kea. One DHCP agent, installed on a machine with access to the Kea service instances, is sufficient and will communicate with all Kea servers on behalf of Micetro.
