When there is bad link in the network the carrier goes up/down.
This makes networkd stops all the clients and drop config.
But if the remote router/dhcpserver running a prevention
of DHCP Starvation attack or DHCP Flood attack it does not allow
networkd to take a DHCP lease resulting failure in configuration.
This patch allows to keep the client running and keep the conf
also for this scenario.
Closes#9111
When using networkd we currently have no way of ensuring that static
neighbor entries are set when our link comes up. This change adds a new
section to the network definition that allows multiple static neighbors
to be set on a link.
RFC 7084, WPD-4, requires Customer Edge end routers to behave
according to the following:
"WPD-4: By default, the IPv6 CE router MUST initiate DHCPv6 prefix
delegation when either the M or O flags are set to 1 in a
received Router Advertisement (RA) message. Behavior of the
CE router to use DHCPv6 prefix delegation when the CE router
has not received any RA or received an RA with the M and the
O bits set to zero is out of scope for this document."
Since it cannot be automatically detected whether DHCPv6 is to be
operated as an CE end router or whether to initiate an Informational
exchange to obtain other useful network information via DHCPv6 when the
Router Advertisement 'O' bit is set, a 'ForceDHCPv6PDOtherInformation'
boolean network configuration option in the '[DHCP]' section of a is
introduced. Setting this option causes DHCPv6 to be started in stateful
mode, although only the 'O' bit is seen in the Router Advertisement.
When 'ForceDHCPv6PDOtherInformation' is set and the Router Advertisement
has only the Other information 'O' bit set, disable requests for IA_NA
addresses.
Fixes#9745.
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.

This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
This patch add support to enables to send User Class option code 77
RFC 3004.
This option MAY carry multiple User Classes.
The format of this option is as follows:
Code Len Value
+-----+-----+--------------------- . . . --+
| 77 | N | User Class Data ('Len' octets) |
+-----+-----+--------------------- . . . --+
where Value consists of one or more instances of User Class Data.
Each instance of User Class Data is formatted as follows:
UC_Len_i User_Class_Data_i
+--------+------------------------ . . . --+
| L_i | Opaque-Data ('UC_Len_i' octets) |
+--------+------------------------ . . . --+
UserClass=
A DHCPv4 client can use UserClass option to identify the type or category of user or applications
it represents. The information contained in this option is an string that represents the user class
of which the client is a member. Each class sets an identifying string of information to be used by the DHCP service to classify clients. Takes a whitespace-separated list.
UserClass= hello world how are you
Closes: RFC: #5134
Rather than choosing to set or unset any of these flag
use kernel defaults. This patch makes following properties to unset.
UseBPDU = unset
HairPin = unset
FastLeave = unset
AllowPortToBeRoot = unset
UnicastFlood = unset
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This makes users can configure DHCPv4 client with ClientIdentifier=duid-only.
If set so, then DHCP client sends only DUID as the client identifier.
This may not be RFC compliant, but some setups require this.
Closes#7828.
The DHCPv6 client can obtain configuration parameters from a
DHCPv6 server through a rapid two-message exchange solicit and reply).
When the rapid commit option is enabled by both the DHCPv6 client and
the DHCPv6 server, the two-message exchange is used, rather than the default
four-method exchange (solicit, advertise, request, and reply). The two-message
exchange provides faster client configuration and is beneficial in environments
in which networks are under a heavy load.
Closes#5845
