Title: Set DNS server to use with Kea DHCP service
Post by: j_s on October 11, 2024, 09:54:22 PM
I switch to Kea from ISC for DHCP services.  In ISC it has a very clear field where you can set the DNS server to use.  In my case, I want to use a pihole for one of my networks.  How can I set this?  I looked in the GUI and searched around and either the function doesn't exist in the WebGUI, or I'm stupid and/or blind.

Thanks!

Kea->Subnets (select the one you want to edit)->uncheck the "Auto collect option data" field. You will now see the individual fields you can customize. I agree the label could be worded better.

And... it's official.  I am stupid.  That worked!  Somehow it never crossed my mind that the checkbox would work that way.  Thank you!

If it makes you feel any better, I ran into the same problem when I switched to Kea. I got lucky and read the solution in a long general thread about Kea. Kea has been working great for me.
