Parse DNS IPv6 addresses and DNS server lifetime from .network files
so that they can be included in Router Advertisement RDNSS options.
RDNSS address and lifetime information is added to the
[IPv6PrefixDelegation] section according to the following syntax:
DNS=2001:db8:🅰️b 2001:db8::c:d
DNSLifetimeSec=1042
Add variables for enabling Router Advertisements, router lifetime as
well as managed and other information flags indicating use of DHCPv6.
Add configuration of default router preferences as defined in RFC 4191.
IPv6PrefixDelegation in the [Network] section has to be set in order
to enable prefix delegation. The rest of the prefix delegation values
are stored in the [IPv6PrefixDelegation] section. The host will act as
a default router if it is given a non-zero lifetime with
RouterLifetimeSec. Managed and OtherInformation booleans set the level
of DHCPv6 support, and the RouterPreference configures the router's
preference between low, medium and high. Words 'normal' and 'default'
are added as synonyms for 'medium' just to make configuration simpler.
This adds a section like the following to .network configuration files:
[Network]
IPv6PrefixDelegation=true
[IPv6PrefixDelegation]
RouterLifetimeSec=2000
Managed=false
OtherInformation=true
RouterPreference=medium
Support zero or more [IPv6Prefix] sections in the network configuration
files. Each section can have one Prefix=<subnet>[/<prefixlength>]
option, with the preferred and valid lifetimes specified by
ValidLifetimeSec and PreferredLifetimeSec measured in seconds, and
with onlink and address autoconfiguration booleans specified by
OnLink and AddressAutoconfiguration variables.
This adds a section like the following to .network configuration files:
[IPv6Prefix]
Prefix=2001:db8:dead:beef::/64
OnLink=true
AddressAutoconfiguration=true
ValidLifetimeSec=1500
PreferredLifetimeSec=1000
This work based on Tom's original patch

By setting GatewayOnlink=yes, the kernel will assume that the gateway is onlink
even if there is no route to it.
Resolves issue #1283.
Allow setting bridge port priority in the Bridge section of the network file,
similar to e.g. port path cost setting.
Set the default to an invalid value of 128, and only set the port priority when
it's not 128. Unlike e.g. path cost, zero is a valid priority value.
Add a networkd-test.py to check that bridge port priority is correctly set.
Incidently, fix bridge port cost type and document valid ranges.
IPv6 Neighbor discovery proxy is the IPv6 equivalent to proxy ARP for IPv4.
It is required when ISPs do not unconditional route IPv6 subnets
to their designated target, but expect neighbor solicitation messages
for every address on a link.
A variable IPv6ProxyNDPAddress= is introduced to the [Network] section,
each representing a IPv6 neighbour proxy entry in the neighbour table.
In eb64b435eb ActiveSlave/PrimarySlave were inserted in between
IPv6AcceptRA and IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements and the comment then didn't
make sense. It turns out that gperf does not understand C-style comments, and
that there's no comment syntax in the keywords section. The following was
generated:
{"/* legacy alias for the above */"},
{"Network.IPv6AcceptRA", config_parse_tristate, 0, offsetof(Network, ipv6_accept_ra)},
In practice this wouldn't lead to problems because this fake pattern would be
hard to match, but it seems better to remove the comments altogether.
Readers of the .gperf file will have to look for the repeated output field to
notice legacy options. To make this easier, let's always keep the legacy option
second.
active_slave:
Specifies the new active slave for modes that support it
(active-backup, balance-alb and balance-tlb).
primary slave:
systemd-networks currently lacks the capability to set the primary slave
in an
active-backup bonding. This is necessary if you prefer one interface
over the
other. A common example is a eth0-wlan0 bonding on a laptop where you'd
want to
switch to the wired connection whenever it's available.
Fixes: #2837
The long name is just too hard to type. We generally should avoid using
acronyms too liberally, if they aren't established enough, but it appears that
"RA" is known well enough. Internally we call the option "ipv6_accept_ra"
anyway, and the kernel also exposes it under this name. Hence, let's rename the
IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements= setting and the
[IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements] section to IPv6AcceptRA= and [IPv6AcceptRA].
The old setting IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements= is kept for compatibility with
older configuration. (However the section [IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements] is
not, as it was never available in a published version of systemd.
This reworks sd-ndisc and networkd substantially to support IPv6 RA much more
comprehensively. Since the API is extended quite a bit networkd has been ported
over too, and the patch is not as straight-forward as one could wish. The
rework includes:
- Support for DNSSL, RDNSS and RA routing options in sd-ndisc and networkd. Two
new configuration options have been added to networkd to make this
configurable.
- sd-ndisc now exposes an sd_ndisc_router object that encapsulates a full RA
message, and has direct, friendly acessor functions for the singleton RA
properties, as well as an iterative interface to iterate through known and
unsupported options. The router object may either be retrieved from the wire,
or generated from raw data. In many ways the sd-ndisc API now matches the
sd-lldp API, except that no implicit database of seen data is kept. (Note
that sd-ndisc actually had a half-written, but unused implementaiton of such
a store, which is removed now.)
- sd-ndisc will now collect the reception timestamps of RA, which is useful to
make sd_ndisc_router fully descriptive of what it covers.
Fixes: #1079
Add an option to disable appending DHCP option 3 (Router) to the DHCP
OFFER and ACK packets.
This commit adds the boolean option EmitRouter= for the [DHCPServer]
section in .network files.
Rationale: On embedded devices, it is very useful to have a DHCP server
running on an USB OTG ethernet gadget interface to avoid manual setup on
the client PCs, but it should only serve IP addresses, no route(r)s.
Otherwise, Windows clients experience network connectivity issues, due
to them using the address set in DHCP option 3 as default gateway.

This allows selecting the propagation level of emitted LLDP packets
(specifically: the destination MAC address of the packets). This is useful
because it allows generating LLDP packets that optionally cross certain types
of bridges.
See 802.11ab-2009, Table 7-1 for details.
networkd: add support to set route table
1. add support to configure the table id.
if id is less than 256 we can fit this in the header of route as
netlink property is a char. But in kernel this proepty is a
unsigned 32. Hence if greater that 256 add this as RTA_TABLE
attribute.
2. we are not setting the address family now. Now set this property.
Separate fields are replaced with a struct.
Second second duid type field is removed. The first field was used to carry
the result of DUIDType= configuration, and the second was either a copy of
this, or contained the type extracted from DuidRawData. The semantics are changed
so that the type specified in DUIDType is always used. DUIDRawData= no longer
overrides the type setting.
The networkd code is now more constrained than the sd-dhcp code:
DUIDRawData cannot have 0 length, length 0 is treated the same as unsetting.
Likewise, it is not possible to set a DUIDType=0. If it ever becomes necessary
to set type=0 or a zero-length duid, the code can be changed to support that.
Nevertheless, I think that's unlikely.
This addresses #3127 § 1 and 3.
v2:
- rename DUID.duid, DUID.duid_len to DUID.raw_data, DUID.raw_data_len
Let's move DUID configuration into the [DHCP] section, since it only makes
sense in a DHCP context, and should be close to the configuration of
ClientIdentifier= and suchlike.
This really shouldn't be a section of its own, we don't have any for any of our
other per-protocol specific identifiers...
Follow-up for #2890#2943
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".
