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. + +``-T config-file`` + Checks the configuration file and reports the first error, if any. + It performs extra checks beyond what -t offers, such as establishing + database connections (for the lease backend, host reservations backend, + configuration backend, and forensic logging backend), loading hook libraries, + parsing hook-library configurations, etc. It does not open UNIX or TCP/UDP sockets, nor + does it open or rotate files, as any of these actions could interfere with + a running process on the same machine. + +``-p server-port-number`` + Specifies the server port number (1-65535) on which the server listens. This is + useful for testing purposes only. + +``-P client-port-number`` + Specifies the client port number (1-65535) to which the server responds. 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://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-dhcp6`` daemon was first coded in June 2011 by Tomek +Mrugalski. + +In mid-2014, Kea was decoupled from the BIND 10 framework and became a +standalone DHCP server. The DHCPv6 server binary was renamed to +``kea-dhcp6``. Kea 1.0.0 was released in December 2015. + +See Also +~~~~~~~~ + +:manpage:`kea-dhcp4(8)`, :manpage:`kea-dhcp-ddns(8)`, +:manpage:`kea-ctrl-agent(8)`, :manpage:`kea-admin(8)`, :manpage:`keactrl(8)`, +:manpage:`perfdhcp(8)`, :manpage:`kea-netconf(8)`, :manpage:`kea-lfc(8)`, +Kea Administrator Reference Manual. |
