Detailed Description

Controls the DHCP service enabling status.

Sometimes, a DHCP server must pause responding to the DHCP queries. Typical cases include a database connection loss when the server tries to reconnect and various cases related to the High Availability operation. It is also possible to explicitly turn the DHCP service on and off via the control channel. This class receives calls from different origins to disable and re-enable the DHCP service.

The general rule is that the DHCP service must be disabled when the class receives at least one request to disable the service from any origin. The service must be re-enabled when all requestors previously disabling the service re-enabled it. This class also allows for specifying a timeout value for each request, after which the service gets re-enabled automatically. It is particularly useful in HA when there is no guarantee that the HA partner will be able to re-enable the service because it may experience an unexpected outage. In that case, the "max-period" parameter must accompany the "dhcp-disable" command to ensure that the service will eventually be re-enabled. The HA hook library may include several independent relationships. Each relationship is treated as a separate origin by this class. If one relationship disables the DHCP service, the service must remain disabled even when any other relationship requests enabling it. The service is re-enabled after all relationships requested re-enabling it (e.g., they all finished synchronizing the lease database).

The HA service instances must have unique identifiers they use to specify the origin. For example, an HAService with the identifier of 1 should request disabling the local service like this:

NetworkState state;

state.disableService(NetworkState::HA_LOCAL_COMMAND + 1);

isc::dhcp::NetworkState

Controls the DHCP service enabling status.

Definition network_state.h:72

isc::dhcp::NetworkState::HA_LOCAL_COMMAND

static const unsigned int HA_LOCAL_COMMAND

The network state is being altered by an HA internal command.

Definition network_state.h:91

isc::dhcp::NetworkState::disableService

void disableService(unsigned int origin)

Disable the DHCP service state for respective transition origin.

Definition network_state.cc:236

The DHCP state can also be altered by the database recovery mechanism, which disables the service on connection loss and re-enables it after the connection is restored. Unlike in HA, this is implemented using an internal counter. In this case, there is one origin for all database connections. The requests for the NetworkState::DB_CONNECTION are counted, and the DHCP service is re-enabled when the counter reaches 0.

Todo: We should consider migrating the database recovery to the same mechanism we use for the HA. The reference counting works because the database connection classes ensure that for each request to disable the DHCP service, there is a corresponding request to enable the service. It prevents the situation that the service remains disabled because there were more requests to disable than to enable the service. It is hard to ensure the same consistency for the HA.

Member Function Documentation

◆ delayedEnableService()

void isc::dhcp::NetworkState::delayedEnableService	(	const unsigned int	seconds,
		unsigned int	origin )

Schedules enabling DHCP service in the future.

Parameters

seconds	Number of seconds after which the service should be enabled unless `enableAll` is enabled before that time.
origin	The origin of the state transition.

Definition at line 266 of file network_state.cc.

◆ disableService()

void isc::dhcp::NetworkState::disableService ( unsigned int origin )

Disable the DHCP service state for respective transition origin.

Note: If any of the user commands, HA internal commands or connection recovery processes disable the dhcp service, the service will remain disabled until all flags are cleared.

Parameters

origin The origin of the state transition.

Definition at line 236 of file network_state.cc.

◆ enableService()

void isc::dhcp::NetworkState::enableService ( unsigned int origin )

Enable the DHCP service state for respective transition origin.

Note: If any of the user commands, HA internal commands or connection recovery processes disable the dhcp service, the service will remain disabled until all flags are cleared.

Parameters

origin The origin of the state transition.

Definition at line 242 of file network_state.cc.

◆ isDelayedEnableService()

bool isc::dhcp::NetworkState::isDelayedEnableService ( ) const

Checks if delayed enabling of DHCP services is scheduled.

It indicates that the timer is present which counts the time until delayedEnable function will be called automatically.

Returns: true if delayed enabling of the DHCP service is scheduled, false otherwise.

◆ resetForDbConnection()

void isc::dhcp::NetworkState::resetForDbConnection ( )

Reset internal counters for database connection.

It results in enabling the network service if network service for all other origins is enabled.

◆ resetForLocalCommands()

void isc::dhcp::NetworkState::resetForLocalCommands ( )

ElementPtr isc::dhcp::NetworkState::toElement ( ) const

virtual
