Migrating ISC DHCP to Kea

I do an awful lot of work in the Windows world, but it's equally important to understand how things work in the Linux world. And on Linux servers, ISC DHCP has long been the big heavyweight for providing DHCP services. But after decades of service, ISC DHCP has been deprecated, and Kea is here to replace it! Migrating to a new program for something as fundamental as DHCP is always a little unsettling, if only because we don't really want to disturb or disrupt such a basic function if we don't have to. And we definitely don't want to be without DHCP for any extended period of time! Fortunately, ISC has provided resources to help us migrate from ISC DHCP to Kea, and that's what we're looking at today! EXTRA CREDIT: There's a lot of extra stuff to Kea that we haven't covered. Mostly that's because it's not applicable to my home network environment, but you could dig into the administrator's manual to find out lots more about details that could be useful to you! I want to leave a big shout-out to my favorite tech publication, Ars Technica. While I knew that Kea was on the horizon, it took a recent article from Lee Hutchinson (https://arstechnica.com/information-t...) to motivate me to just sit down for a few hours and hammer this out. It really wasn't so bad once I figured out where I needed to look to refine the configuration I got from KeaMA. Consult all the examples you can! The default Kea configuration file is one, Lee's work might be another, my results might be another, the examples in the administrator's manual are also available to you... Every network is unique, so put things together in the way that's best suited for you. It's worth noting that there are, of course, other programs that can do DHCP as well (such as DNSmasq, for example). These are no less useful in their place, but they may not be the same kind of direct replacement for ISC DHCP that Kea is meant to be.
