Issue with Kea DHCP server

[coatmaker618]

Update: The rest of the interfaces (everything but LAN) are now working.  I forgot that by default all network traffic on those interfaces is blocked (which is a good default).

So now it's ONLY the LAN interface that's acting up.

Note: I did check the LAN, it has default allow all rules.  So sadly it's not the same problem there too.

There are no requests for, or allocations of, 192.168.1.42 in either log.

So what happens if you set assignment to DHCP rather than manual?

If I set assignments to DHCP (automatic) I don't get an IP on the client.
    "inet 169.254.41.44/16 brd 169.254.255.255 scope global dynamic"

Just to confirm, if the client knows the gateway and is set to get an IP by DHCP then it gets nothing? Is communication from LAN client to server verified as happening, e.g. with a ping?

What does the log show in that situation? Have you tried giving the client's MAC a reserved address above the .1-.199 pool? I found that where I wanted a fixed client IP I needed to reserve rather than relying on manual IP configuration of the client.

The situation is somewhat confused for me because I do not have a consistent case of basic client configuration with an associated log. You can also enable logs of LAN rules to verify the packets are passed on that interface. I am stopping short of packet tracing although that may be a next step.
