NAME

       kea-dhcp-ddns - DHCP-DDNS process in Kea

SYNOPSIS

       kea-dhcp-ddns [-v] [-V] [-W] [-d] [-c config-file] [-t config-file]

DESCRIPTION

       The  kea-dhcp-ddns  service  process requests an update of DNS mapping based on DHCP lease
       change events. It runs as a separate process that expects to receive Name Change  Requests
       from Kea DHCP servers.

ARGUMENTS

       The arguments are as follows:

       -v     Displays the version.

       -V     Displays the extended version.

       -W     Displays the configuration report.

       -d     Sets  the  logging  level  to  debug  with  extra  verbosity. This is primarily for
              development purposes in stand-alone mode.

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

       -t config-file
              Checks  the  syntax  of  the configuration file and reports the first error if any.
              Note that not all parameters are completely checked, in particular, service  socket
              is not opened.

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://kea.readthedocs.io.

       Kea source code is documented  in  the  Kea  Developer's  Guide.  Its  online  version  is
       available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.

       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-dhcp-ddns process was first coded in May 2013 by Thomas Markwalder.

       Kea became a standalone server and the BIND 10 framework was removed. The DHCP-DDNS server
       binary was renamed to kea-dhcp-ddns in July 2014. Kea 1.0.0 was released in December 2015.
