KEA-DHCP-DDNS(8)                      Kea                     KEA-DHCP-DDNS(8)

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, a 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, 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.
