System and Network configuration • Re: [Solved] [Software] Kea HA does not work "unable to forward command to the dhcp4 service: ...The server is .. offli

Hello Aki,

yay , a thousand thanks for your tip . As you wrote, the problem was exactly due to the missing entry for the socket in kea-dhcp4.conf . Now I also realize that this is necessary for communication - I had missed it (several times) in the documentation.
So I only needed to copy the section

"control-sockets": {
"dhcp4": {
"socket-type": "unix",
"socket-name": "/run/kea/kea4-ctrl-socket"
},

from the
kea-ctrl-agent.conf into the kea-dhcp4.conf .
After that, the Kea HA function worked as expected (extensively tested and checked in the debug files and with tcpdump).

Thanks!

Tip for others: do not forget to deactivate the debug mode
