ISC-DHCP is deprecated

[Hornochs]

In 2022 ISC-DHCP reached EoL See article here Which means it should be switched to Kea, the new DHCP Server from ISC.

I‘ll have a look at the Code later to see if I‘m able to contribute the changes 😊

I have made a complete VM-installation with FogProject on Debian 13 (Trixie) and another VM-installation with Kea-DHCP4-Server. Converting the ISC-DHCP-Server with ChatGPT and some other sources. It runs as I hoped. But I found no solution for switching the filename: undionly.kpxe to ipxe.efi. Here the important snippet:

        {
            "id": 1,
            "subnet": "172.16.0.0/24",
            "pools": [ { "pool": "172.16.0.1 - 172.16.0.200" } ],
            "next-server": "172.16.0.221", 
            "option-data": [
                {
                    "name": "routers",
                    "data": "172.16.0.250"
                },
                {
                    "code": 66,
                    "data": "172.16.0.221",
                    "always-send": true,
                    "name": "tftp-server-name"
                },
                {
                    "code": 67,
                    "data": "undionly.kpxe",
                    "always-send": true,
                    "name": "boot-file-name"
                }
            ]
        }

Worth being aware that i know the pfsense project also had issues with the kea DHCP server with regards to setting DHCP options. You may likely run into similar issues like they did.On 11 Aug 2025, at 09:35, joo4mart ***@***.***> wrote:joo4mart left a comment (FOGProject/fogproject#730) I have made a complete VM-installation with FogProject on Debian 13 (Trixie) and another VM-installation with Kea-DHCP4-Server.
