NAME

       kea-dhcp6 - DHCPv6 server in Kea

SYNOPSIS

       kea-dhcp6 [-v] [-V] [-W] [-d] [-c config-file] [-t config-file] [-p server-port-number]

DESCRIPTION

       The kea-dhcp6 daemon provides the DHCPv6 server implementation.

ARGUMENTS

       The arguments are as follows:

       -v     Displays the version.

       -V     Displays the extended version.

       -W     Displays the configuration report.

       -d     Enables the debug mode with extra verbosity.

       -c config-file
              Specifies  the  configuration file with the configuration for the DHCPv6 server. It
              may also contain configuration entries for other Kea services.

       -t config-file
              Checks the configuration file and reports the first error, if any.  Note  that  not
              all  parameters  are completely checked; in particular, service and control channel
              sockets are not opened, and hook libraries are not loaded.

       -p server-port-number
              Specifies the server port number (1-65535) on which the  server  listens.  This  is
              useful for testing purposes only.

DOCUMENTATION

       Kea  comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers all aspects of
       running  the  Kea  software  -  compilation,  installation,  configuration,  configuration
       examples, and much more. Kea also features a Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible
       messages Kea can print with a brief description for  each  of  them.  Both  documents  are
       available  in  various  formats  (.txt,  .html,  .pdf)  with the Kea distribution. The Kea
       documentation is available at https://kb.isc.org/docs/kea-administrator-reference-manual .

       Kea source code is documented  in  the  Kea  Developer's  Guide.  Its  online  version  is
       available at https://jenkins.isc.org/job/Kea_doc/doxygen/.

       The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.

MAILING LISTS AND SUPPORT

       There  are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project. kea-users (kea-users at
       lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while  kea-dev  (kea-dev  at  lists.isc.org)  is
       intended  for  Kea  developers,  prospective  contributors, and other advanced users. Both
       lists are available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides  best-effort  support
       on both of those lists.

       ISC  provides  professional  support  for  Kea  services. See https://www.isc.org/kea/ for
       details.

HISTORY

       The b10-dhcp6 daemon was first coded in June 2011 by Tomek Mrugalski.

       Kea became a standalone server and the BIND 10 framework was removed.  The  DHCPv6  server
       binary was renamed to kea-dhcp6 in July 2014.
