Seeking some guidance from anyone that had ventured down this path.

I'm currently running ISC dhcp4, with static mappings for clients, some with different DNS servers and some with different gateways.

How did you go about sorting these out if you've migrated across to the KEA server instance?

Looking at the guidelines by OPNsense,"Configure kea dhcp 4 manually, requires supplying your own /usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf file (advanced users only)".

It'll require,
Downloading the .conf file, - running a script to convert my isc dhcp4 mappings across to the same format, then, uploading the conf file, replacing the one on the server, and then starting up the service.

All future changes are to be done by doing manual console - terminal edits to the .conf file.

What did you do?

Thanks,

If you are on the latest community release and do not have thousands of clients, try out dnsmasq instead which has lots of flexibility in the GUI, especially with its tag system.
