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]
An administrator might want to block a certain sysusers config file from
being executed, e.g. to block the creation of a certain user.
Only a relatively short description is added in the man page, since
overrides should be relatively rare.
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.
Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.
In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.
By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.
The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.
Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.
Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
This patch adds supports networkd to configure bond mode
during creation via persistent conf. Mode can be configured
with conf param 'Mode'. A new section Bond is added to the
conf to support bond mode.
These modes can be configured now.
balance-rr
active-backup
balance-xor
broadcast
802.3ad
balance-tlb
balance-alb
Example conf file: test-bond.conf
[NetDev]
Name=bond1
Kind=bond
[Bond]
Mode=balance-xor
Test case:
1. start networkd service:
12: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/ether 22:89:6c:47:23:d2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
2. find bond mode:
cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1
Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011)
Bonding Mode: load balancing (xor)
Transmit Hash Policy: layer2 (0)
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 0
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0
Changes:
1. Added file networkd-bond.c
2. Bond mode enum BondMode
3. conf section [Bond]
[tomegun: whitespace]
As Zbigniew pointed out a new ConditionFirstBoot= appears like the nicer
way to hook in systemd-firstboot.service on first boots (those with /etc
unpopulated), so let's do this, and get rid of the generator again.
This patch introduces TUN/TAP device creation support
to networkd.
Example conf to create a tap device:
file: tap.netdev
------------------
[NetDev]
Name=tap-test
Kind=tap
[Tap]
OneQueue=true
MultiQueue=true
PacketInfo=true
User=sus
Group=sus
------------------
Test:
1. output of ip link
tap-test: tap pi one_queue UNKNOWN_FLAGS:900 user 1000 group 1000
id:
uid=1000(sus) gid=10(wheel) groups=10(wheel),1000(sus)
context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
Modifications:
Added:
1. file networkd-tuntap.c
3. netdev kind NETDEV_KIND_TUN and NETDEV_KIND_TAP
2. Tun and Tap Sections and config params to parse
conf and gperf conf parameters
[tomegun: tweak the 'kind' checking for received ifindex]
This new tool is based on "sd-path", a new (so far unexported) API for
libsystemd, that can hopefully grow into a workable API covering /opt
and more one day.
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]
The example does not compile, it fails with:
error: passing argument 3 of ‘sd_journal_get_data’ from incompatible
pointer type
Cast to (const void **) to avoid this.
