"ISC has announced the end of maintenance for ISC DHCP as of the end of 2022. ISC will continue providing professional support services for existing subscribers, but does not intend to issue any further maintenance releases. For resources that may help in migrating your existing ISC DHCP server deployment to our newer DHCP server, Kea, please see this page.
ISC DHCP was a complete open source solution for implementing DHCP servers, relay agents, and clients."
Clearly the ISC really wants you to use Kea instead of ISC DHCP server. You don't want to run network software that hasn't been maintained since 2022.
It does feel weird that ISC doesn't have a client or relay agent anymore. Did people migrate to other solutions?
