pfSense

Hi Everyone,

I'm using the latest pfSense image, 2.7.1 (amd64). I got the ISC DHCP warning on reboot. I switched to KEA DHCP, saved the setting and rebooted again.

It looks like the KEA DHCP server is not starting on boot. Clicking the triangle to start the services also fails.

Looking at the DHCP logs, I see this:

ERROR [kea-dhcp4.dhcp4.0x545c1212000] DHCP4_PARSER_FAIL failed to create or run parser for configuration element subnet4: option data does not match option definition (space: dhcp4, code: 42): Failed to convert string to address 'time-a-g.nist.gov': Invalid argument (/usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf:81:33).

I must apologize. I don't know how to list kea-dhcp4.conf to show what is at kea-dhcp4.conf:81. About all I can say is, I did not customize it. It is the same as what pfSense shipped to me.

Obviously, I have NTP servers set in DHCP Server configurations. I am using time-a-g.nist.gov and time-e-g.nist.gov from <https://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi&gt;.

I think I am going to switch back to ISC DHCP until KEA DHCP is ready for production.

Sorry to trouble the team with this.
