Sorry if the following are obvious questions, hopefully someone can clarify please.


  • I'm using native ISC DHCP on 25.7.11_2 and don't intend to migrate (yet) to the alternatives.
    I see the release notes for 26.1 says "ISC-DHCP moves to a plugin. It will be automatically installed during upgrades."

    Does this mean the existing ISC-DHCP configurations for IPv4 and IPv6 will be "imported" into the plugin, so I won't need to do any configuration changes?

  • Regarding the release note comment which seems a bit ambiguous:

    "To accommodate the change away from ISC-DCHP defaults the "Track interface" IPv6 mode now has a sibling called "Identity Association" which does the same except it is not automatically starting ISC-DHCPv6 and Radvd router advertisements to allow better interoperability with Kea and Dnsmasq setups."

    As I'm remaining on ISC-DHCP, will I need to make any changes to "Track interface" as I'll need ISC-DHCPv6 and Radvd to autostart.

Many thanks
