Sorry, here i'm lost ..
Are you saying IPv6 is just an addon rather than a replacement of IPv4?!

In general i agree .. however my setup is a private home setup rather than a DC, or some other commercial network.

One rational, i'd like to have my own namespace for devices.
Especially not the name, some consumer devices come up with (sometimes not even modifiable).
I saw some other posts in this forum about mapping of just the DNS name.
However, issue is the same as mine!

Positive side effect on IP address assignment: Having "similar" suffixes for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses eases debugging.

Then, i was wondering about further use cases ..
I.e. for some reason i assume ISC implemented DUID as well as hw-address mapping.

Due to end of live and as suggested, i changed my setup from ISC to KEA DHCP.
DHCP4 works pretty well, but for DHCP6 i'm barely missing hw-address type support.
Rational:
- For some devices, I'd like to have static mappings.
- Especially some of these devices provide a DUID type, not usuable for a static mapping.

KEA DHCP6 supports hw-address type mapping.
As of now I marked the checkbox "Manual config" in KEA DHCP6, and added the mapping to the config file.
This works pretty well and as expected.

My question: Are there any plans to support hw-address type mapping from within the GUI?
