Let's add some minimalistic LLDP sender support. The idea is that this is
either on or off, and all fields determined automatically rather than
configured explicitly.
This reworks the sd-lldp substantially, simplifying things on one hand, and
extending the logic a bit on the other.
Specifically:
- Besides the sd_lldp object only one other object is maintained now,
sd_lldp_neighbor. It's used both as storage for literal LLDP packets, and for
maintainging info about peers in the database. Separation between packet, TLV
and chassis data is not maintained anymore. This should be a major
simplification.
- The sd-lldp API has been extended so that a couple of per-neighbor fields may
be queried directly, without iterating through the object. Other fields that
may appear multiple times, OTOH have to be iterated through.
- The maximum number of entries in the neighbor database is now configurable
during runtime.
- The generation of callbacks from sd_lldp objects is more restricted:
callbacks are only invoked when actual data changed.
- The TTL information is now hooked with a timer event, so that removals from
the neighbor database due to TTLs now result in a callback event.
- Querying LLDP neighbor database will now return a strictly ordered array, to
guarantee stability.
- A "capabilities" mask may now be configured, that selects what type of LLDP
neighbor data is collected. This may be used to restrict collection of LLDP
info about routers instead of all neighbors. This is now exposed via
networkd's LLDP= setting.
- sd-lldp's API to serialize the collected data to text files has been removed.
Instead, there's now an API to extract the raw binary data from LLDP neighbor
objects, as well as one to convert this raw binary data back to an LLDP
neighbor object. networkd will save this raw binary data to /run now, and the
client side can simply parse the information.
- support for parsing the more exotic TLVs has been removed, since we are not
using that. Instead there are now APIs to extract the raw data from TLVs.
Given how easy it is to parse the TLVs clients should do so now directly
instead of relying on our APIs for that.
- A lot of the APIs that parse out LLDP strings have been simplified so that
they actually return strings, instead of char arrays with a length. To deal
with possibly dangerous characters the strings are escaped if needed.
- APIs to extract and format the chassis and port IDs as strings has been
added.
- lldp.h has been simplified a lot. The enums are anonymous now, since they
were never used as enums, but simply as constants. Most definitions we don't
actually use ourselves have eben removed.
This changes the UseDomains= setting of .network files to take an optional third value "route", in addition to the
boolean values. If set, the passed domain information is used for routing rules only, but not for the search path
logic.
All booleans called dhcp_xyz are now called ".dhcp_use_xyz", to match their respective configuration file settings. This
should clarify things a bit, in particular as there is a DHCP hostname that was previously called just ".hostname"
because ".dhcp_hostname" was already existing as a bool. Since this confusion is removed now because the bool is called
".dhcp_use_hostname", the string field is now renamed to ".dhcp_hostname".
Previously, .network files only knew a vaguely defined "Domains=" concept, for which the documentation declared it was
the "DNS domain" for the network connection, without specifying what that means.
With this the Domains setting is reworked, so that there are now "routing" domains and "search" domains. The former are
to be used by resolved to route DNS request to specific network interfaces, the latter is to be used for searching
single-label hostnames with (in addition to being used for routing). Both settings are configured in the "Domains="
setting. Normal domain names listed in it are now considered search domains (for compatibility with existing setups),
while those prefixed with "~" are considered routing domains only. To route all lookups to a specific interface the
routing domain "." may be used, referring to the root domain. An alternative syntax for this is the "*", as was already
implemented before using the "wildcard" domain concept.
This commit adds proper parsers for this new logic, and exposes this via the sd-network API. This information is not
used by resolved yet, this will be added in a later commit.
networkd previously knew an enum "ResolveSupport" for configuring
per-interface LLMNR support, resolved had a similar enum just called
"Support", with the same value and similar pasers.
Unify this, call the enum ResolveSupport, and port both daemons to it.
The constraints we place on the pool is that it is a contiguous
sequence of addresses in the same subnet as the server address, not
including the subnet nor broadcast addresses, but possibly including
the server address itself. If the server address is included in the
pool it is (obviously) reserved and not handed out to clients.
Justification is similar to BPDUGuard rename. "Positive" values
are easier. This is a rather uncommon option, so using a slightly
longer name should not be a problem, and may in fact may make it
easier to guess what the option does without reading the
documentation.
Rename to follow the follow the style of other options.
In general "positive" options are preferred to "negative" ones,
because they are easier to describe and easier for humans to
parse (c.f. the shortening on the man page entry).
This patch add support for ipv6 privacy extensions.
The variable /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<if>/use_tempaddr
can be changed via the boolean
IPv6PrivacyExtensions=[yes/no/prefer-temporary]
When true enables privacy extensions, but prefer public addresses over
temporary addresses.
prefer-temporary prefers temporary adresses over public addresses.
Defaults to false.
[Match]
Name=enp0s25
[Network]
IPv6PrivacyExtensions=prefer-temporary
In 5a8bcb674f, IPForwarding was introduced
to set forwarding flags on interfaces in .network files. networkd sets
forwarding options regardless of the previous setting, even if it was
set by e.g. sysctl. This commit creates a new option for IPForwarding,
"kernel", that preserves the sysctl settings rather than always setting
them.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89509 for the initial
bug report.
Introduce BindCarrier= to indicate the set of links that determine if
the current link should be brought UP or DOWN.
[tomegun: add a bit to commit message]
For now we only support the hardcoded values RT_SCOPE_{UNIVERSE,LOCAL,HOST},
and not numerical values or values from /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes.
This addresses https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88508.
This allows the admin to set the host-specific part of IPv6 addresses, but still
receive the prefix via SLAAC.
.network file snippet:
[Network]
IPv6Token=::12
gives:
$ ip token
token ::12 dev eth0
This closes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81177.
This allows both IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses to be enabled or disabled. By default
we still enable IPv6LL and disable IPv4LL. The old config option is kept for backwards
compatibility, but removed from the documentation.
This adds two new settings to networkd's .network files:
IPForwarding=yes and IPMasquerade=yes. The former controls the
"forwarding" sysctl setting of the interface, thus controlling whether
IP forwarding shall be enabled on the specific interface. The latter
controls whether a firewall rule shall be installed that exposes traffic
coming from the interface as coming from the local host to all other
interfaces.
This also enables both options by default for container network
interfaces, thus making "systemd-nspawn --network-veth" have network
connectivity out of the box.
Let's stick to generic sections that describe the general technology,
instead of specific per-object sections, unless we really have a reason
to do that otherwise.
This patch add support to specify path cost of the
bridge port to be configured via conf file.
Exampe: conf
file: br.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=br-test
Kind=bridge
file: br.network
[Match]
Name=em1
[Network]
Bridge=br-test
[BridgePort]
Cost=332
bridge link
2: em1 state UP : <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master
br-test state disabled priority 32 cost 332
This lets the routing metric for links to be specified per-network,
still defaulting to DHCP_ROUTE_METRIC (1024) if unspecified. Hopefully
this helps with multiple interfaces configured via DHCP.
This is necessary for non-ipv4ll hosts to communicate with ipv4ll-only hosts on the same link. Defaults
to being enabled, but can be opted out.
See: <http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd#Routes>
It appears there is no good way to decide whether or not broadcasts should be enabled,
there is hardware that must have broadcast, and there are networks that only allow
unicast. So we give up and make this configurable.
By default, unicast is used, but if the kernel were to inform us abotu certain
interfaces requiring broadcast, we could change this to opt-in by default in
those cases.
Vendor Class Identifier be used by DHCP clients to identify
their vendor type and configuration. When using this option,
vendors can define their own specific identifier values, such
as to convey a particular hardware or operating system
configuration or other identifying information.
Vendor-specified DHCP options—features that let administrators assign
separate options to clients with similar configuration requirements.
For example, if DHCP-aware clients for example we want to separate
different gateway and option for different set of people
(dev/test/hr/finance) in a org or devices for example web/database
servers or let's say in a embedded device etc and require a different
default gateway or DNS server than the rest of clients.
Now route metric can be configuted via conf file:
example conf:
[Match]
Name=em1
[Route]
Gateway=192.168.1.12
Metric=10
Test:
ip route output
default via 192.168.1.12 dev em1 metric 10
[tomegun: squash TODO update and reword man page a bit]
This patch adds peer address support for
networkd . In the [Address] a new configurable
param is Peer.
[Match]
Name=ipip-tun
[Address]
Address=10.0.0.1/32
Peer=10.0.0.2/32
Send hostname (option 12) in DISCOVER and REQUEST messages so the
DHCP server could use it to register with dynamic DNS and such.
To opt-out of this behaviour set SendHostname to false in [DHCP]
section of .network file
[tomegun: rebased, made sure a failing set_hostname is a noop and moved
config from DHCPv4 to DHCP]
This adds support for DHCP options 33 and 121: Static Route and
Classless Static Route. To enable this feature, set UseRoutes=true
in .network file. Returned routes are added to the routing table.
If there are v4 or v6 specific options we can keep those in separate sections,
but for the common options, we will use only one.
Moreovere only use DHCP=[yes/both|no/none|v4|v6] to enable or disable the clients.
When enabled in [Network] it will set up a dhcp server on the interface, listening
on one of its statically configured IPv4 addresses and with a fixed size pool of
leases determined from it.
Example:
[Match]
Name=ve-arch-tree
[Network]
Address=192.168.12.5/24
DHCPServer=yes
[Route]
Gateway=192.168.12.5
Destination=192.168.12.0/24
In this case we will configure ve-arch-tree with the address 192.168.12.5 and
hand out addresses in the range 192.168.12.6 - 192.168.12.38.
In the future, we should (as suggested by Lennart) introduce a syntax to pick the
server address automatically.
This does not belong in shared as it is mostly a detail of our networking subsystem.
Moreover, now we can use libudev here, which will simplify things.
Implements IPv4LL with respect to RFC 3927
(http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3927.txt) and integrates it
with networkd. Majority of the IPv4LL state machine is
taken from avahi (http://avahi.org/) project's autoip.
IPv4LL can be enabled by IPv4LL=yes under [Network]
section of .network file.
IPv4LL works independent of DHCP but if DHCP lease is
aquired, then LL address will be dropped.
[tomegun: removed a trailing newline and a compiler warning]
