KEA is still a mess IMHO

[JamesFrisch]

I know a lot of work went into KEA and I truly believe that a lot of bugs were ironed out with the recent release.
Still, KEA is IMHO not polished and production ready.

One example:
1. You have a static IPv4 reservation (based on MAC)
2. You create a IPv6  reservation, based on the same MAC

KEA will now ignore your IPv4 reservation. Yes, it worked before, but now no longer works and instead will get an IPv4 from the DHCPv4 range, while IPv6 will do the reservation correctly.

But James, you should DUID and not MAC for IPv6

Fine, but then it should not use MAC when I click on the "add static lease" button in the lease tab, but DUID instead.
Also, since the newest update, I can no longer see the DUIDs anymore on OPNsense?


So if you think just because ICE is eol that you should switch to KEA, don't! Don't make the same mistake I did.
There is still no need to make the switch. At least not for now.

Is this about OPNsense core integration or Kea (DHCPv6) in general? I'm unable to tell.
