// This is an example configuration file for DHCPv6 server in Kea.
// It attempts to showcase some of the more advanced features.
// Topology wise, it's a basic scenario with one IPv6 subnet configured.
// It is assumed that one subnet (2001:db8:1::/64) is available directly
// over eth0 interface.
//
// The following features are currently showcased here:
// 1. Configuration of MAC/hardware address sources in DHCPv6
// 2. RSOO (Relay supplied options) - Some relays may insert options with the
//    intention for the server to insert them into client directed messages.
// 3. Control socket. Kea can open a socket and listen for incoming
//    commands.

    // We need to specify the database used to store leases. As of

        // This parameter determines what to do when a new lease appears in the
        // system (i.e. either is read from disk during memfile startup or is
        // added via lease commands). There are five modes supported:
        // none - do nothing, accept them as is
        // warn - if subnet-id problems are detected, print a warning, but
        //        otherwise load the lease as is. This is the default value.
        // fix - attempt to fix the lease by finding appropriate subnet-id value.
        //       if there is no suitable subnet, the lease is loaded as is.
        // fix-del - attempt to fix the lease by finding appropriate subnet-id

    // Kea 0.9.1 introduced MAC/hardware addresses support in DHCPv6. There is
    // no single reliable method of getting MAC address information in DHCPv6.
    // Kea supports several methods. Depending on your network set up, some
    // methods may be more preferable than others, hence the configuration
    // parameter. 'mac-sources' is a list of methods. Allowed parameters are:
    // any, raw, duid, ipv6-link-local, client-link-addr-option, rfc6939 (which
    // is an alias for client-link-addr-option), remote-id, rfc4649 (which is an
    // alias for remote-id, subscriber-id, rfc4580 (which is an alias for
    // subscriber-id) and docsis.

    // Note that the order matters. Methods are attempted one by one in the
    // order specified until hardware address is obtained. If you don't care
    // which method is used, using 'any' is marginally faster than enumerating
    // them all.

    // list of those options here:
    // http://www.iana.org/assignments/dhcpv6-parameters/dhcpv6-parameters.xhtml#options-relay-supplied
