KEA: how to specify DNS server(s) per subnet?

[defaultuserfoo]

Hi,

how can I specify different DNS server(s) per subnet when using KEA?

[dseven]

Edit the subnet, and uncheck "Auto collect option data"

[defaultuserfoo]

Thank you very much!

The help text of that option could be more clear.  Here's a suggestion:

Code Select Expand


Automatically update option data for relevant attributes as routers,
dns servers and ntp servers when applying settings from the gui.


Perhaps make that

Code Select Expand


Use data from the settings of this firewall for DHCP options given
to clients when the 'Auto collect option data' option is enabled.
With this option disabled, you can specify the DHCP options
given to clients manually.


... and rename that option to something like 'Use default DHCP options'.


PS: Is there a way to specify multiple DNS servers?  I tried that and it said I need to specify valid addresses.

I usually type the first one, then hit the Tab key (which should turn what you typed into a ... thing, with an 'x'), then type the second, etc. Another way is to click outside the field, then click inside again (to refocus).

Thanks, it's working now!

I guess it didn't like that I copied and pasted two addresses at the same time into the field.

You can copy & paste a bunch of addresses/networks into these multi entry fields if you separate them by commas. Like 1.2.3.4,5.6.7.8 in the case of DNS servers. Make sure there are no spaces, though!

Oh, cool, I didn't know that!  I pasted them with space(s) in between ...
