ISC Kea DHCP (Management Console, obsolete)

Danger

Starting with Micetro 10.0, older versions of the Kea DHCP server are no longer supported. See System Requirements for a list of supported versions. You need to remove your existing (older) Kea DHCP servers from the system, and update them to a supported version of Kea before updating to Micetro 10.0 from an older version of the Men&Mice Suite. Not doing so could result in lost access to and data from the older Kea servers in Micetro.

For the preferred method of managing Kea in Micetro see dhcp-kea.
