This adds support to generate a basic resolv.conf in /run/systemd/network.
This file will not take any effect unless a symlink is created from
/etc/resolv.conf.
Nameservers received over DHCP takes precedence over statically configured ones.
Note: /etc/resolv.conf is severely limited, so in the future we will likely
rather provide a much more powerfull nss plugin (or something to that effect),
but this should allow current users to function without any loss of
functionality.
It seems that networkd stores in_addr.s_addr contents in reverse
order (little-endian, not network order). This is a bit confusing,
but sd_rtnl evidently likes this order.
This adds basic DHCPv4 support. Link-sense is enabled unconditionally,
but the plan is to make that configurable.
I tested this in a VM with lots of NICs and over wifi in the various
coffee shops I found this Christmas, but more testing would definitely
be appreciated.
Static addresses/routes are associated with a network. Dynamic
addresses/routes are associtade with links (as the corresponding network
may be shared by several links).
This listens to rtnetlink for changes to IFF_UP and IFF_LOWER_UP (link sense). The latter
is simply logged at the moment, but will be useful once we add dhcp support.
A bridge is specified in a .netdev file with a section [Bridge]
and at least the entry Name=.
A link may be joined to a bridge if the .network applied to it has
a Bridge= entry giving the name of the bridge in its [Network] section.
We eagerly create all bridges on startup, and links are added to
bridges as soon as they both appear.
This daemon listens for and configures network devices tagged with
'systemd-networkd'. By default, no devices are tagged so this daemon
can safely run in parallel with existing network daemons/scripts.
Networks are configured in /etc/systemd/network/*.network. The first .network
file that matches a given link is applied. The matching logic is similar to
the one for .link files, but additionally supports matching on interface name.
The mid-term aim is to provide an alternative to ad-hoc scripts currently used
in initrd's and for wired setups that don't change much (e.g., as seen on
servers/and some embedded systems).
Currently, static addresses and a gateway can be configured.
Example .network file:
[Match]
Name=wlp2s0
[Network]
Description=My Network
Gateway=192.168.1.1
Address=192.168.1.23/24
Address=fe80::9aee:94ff:fe3f:c618/64
