Previously, when Priority= is unspecified, networkd configured the rule with
the highest (=0) priority. This commit makes networkd distinguish the case
the setting is unspecified and one explicitly specified as Priority=0.
Note.
1) If the priority is unspecified on configure, then kernel dynamically picks
a priority for the rule.
2) The new behavior is consistent with 'ip rule' command.
Replaces #15606.
Note that this slightly breaks backward compatibility when
Termination=1. Previously, this is handled as boolean true, then 120 ohm
was used. But now with this commit, it is handled as 1 ohm.
If ActivationPolicy= is set to down, always-down, or manual, then any
matching link will delay boot (due to delaying network-online.target).
If RequiredForOnline= wasn't explicitly set, then default it to false
if ActivationPolicy= is down or manual. If ActivationPolicy=always-down,
then force RequiredForOnline=no.
Previously, IPv6LinkLocalAddressGenerationMode= is not set, then we
define the address generation mode based on the result of reading
stable_secret sysctl value. This makes the mode is determined by whether
a secret address is specified in the new setting.
Closes#19622.
Previously, when a link has already in a numbered group, we cannot
remove the link from the group.
This also fixes the range mentioned in the man page.
With new "online state" semantics in networkd, make the description of
RequiredFamilyForOnline= a little more broad. Some rewording has been
done to make the passage easier to understand.
The settings were listen in a completely random order, also different
between the v4 and v6 sections. Order by "options sent", "options received",
"communication settings" in both sections.
Also minor formatting changes are done, e.g. "=" is added in various places.
Previously, any positive boolean string for IPMasquerade= enables only IPv4
masquerade. The commit 48ed276647 adds
IPv6 masquerade support. However, only "yes" is handled as "ipv4", and other
positive boolean strings are handled as "both".
This makes all positive boolean strings considered as "ipv4", warn that they
are deprecated, and suggest to use "ipv4" or "both".
Follow-up for 48ed276647.
This was changed in commit 482efedc08,
which was released in v243, to only enable and never disable IPv6.

Similar to DHCPv4's UseHostname option, add a UseFQDN config option in
[DHCPv6] to set the system's transient hostname if the FQDN option is
set in the DHCPv6 response from the server.
This parameter allows configuring the activation policy for an interface,
meaning how it manages the interface's administrative state (IFF_UP flag).
The policy can be configured to bring the interface either up or down when
the interface is (re)configured, to always force the interface either up or
down, or to never change the interface administrative state.
If the interface is bound with BindCarrier=, its administrative state is
controlled by the interface(s) it's bound to, and this parameter is forced
to 'bound'.
This changes the default behavior of how systemd-networkd sets the IFF_UP
flag; previously, it was set up (if not already up) every time the
link_joined() function was called. Now, with the default ActivationPolicy=
setting of 'up', it will only set the IFF_UP flag once, the first time
link_joined() is called, during an interface's configuration; and on
the first link_joined() call each time the interface is reconfigured.

Extend IPMasquerade to also cover ipv6.
For compatibility reasons with earlier releases IPMasquerade=yes
is identical to IPMasquerade=ipv4.
Use IPMasquerade=both to cover ipv6 as well as ipv4.
IPForward will now also enable ipv6 forwarding if IPMasquerade for ipv6 is enabled.
Enhance systemd-networkd to be able to control a CAN device's berr-reporting
flag via the new boolean directive BusErrorReporting= to be used in network
files.
Allow configuration for IPv6 discovered routes to be ignored instead of
adding them as a route. This can be used to block unwanted routes, for
example, you may wish to not receive some set of routes on an interface
if they are causing issues.
They are not really boolean, because we have both ipv4 and ipv6, but
for each protocol we have either unset, no, and yes.
From https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13316#issuecomment-582906817:
LinkLocalAddressing must be a boolean option, at least for ipv4:
- LinkLocalAddressing=no => no LL at all.
- LinkLocalAddressing=yes + Static Address => invalid configuration, warn and
interpret as LinkLocalAddressing=no, no LL at all.
(we check that during parsing and reject)
- LinkLocalAddressing=yes + DHCP => LL process should be subordinated to the
DHCP one, an LL address must be acquired at start or after a short N
unsuccessful DHCP attemps, and must not stop DHCP to keeping trying. When a
DHCP address is acquired, drop the LL address. If the DHCP address is lost,
re-adquire a new LL address.
(next patch will move in this direction)
- LinkLocalAddressing=fallback has no reason to exist, because LL address must
always be allocated as a fallback option when using DHCP. Having both DHCP
and LL address at the same time is an RFC violation, so
LinkLocalAdressing=yes correctly implemented is already the "fallback"
behavior. The fallback option must be deprecated and if present in older
configs must be interpreted as LinkLocalAddressing=yes.
(removed)
- And for IPv6, the LinkLocalAddress option has any sense at all? IPv6-LL
address aren't required to be always set for every IPv6 enabled interface (in
this case, coexisting with static or dynamic address if any)? Shouldn't be
always =yes?
(good question)
This effectively reverts 29e81083bd. There is no
special "fallback" mode now, so the check doesn't make sense anymore.
Follow-up for ac24e418d9.
The original motivation of the commit and RFE #15339 is to start dhcpv6
client in managed mode when neither M nor O flag is set in the RA.
But, previously, if the setting is set to "always", then the DHCPv6
client is always started in managed mode even if O flag is set in the
RA. Such the behavior breaks RFC 7084.
99e015e28c missed to update the example
below - DHCPv6.AssignAcquiredDelegatedPrefixAddress was moved to
DHCPv6PrefixDelegation.Assign.
As it already defaulted to true since it's introduction in
9efa8a3cff, there's no need to explicitly
list it at all.
For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
SR-IOV provides the ability to partition a single physical PCI
resource into virtual PCI functions which can then be injected in
to a VM. In the case of network VFs, SR-IOV improves north-south n
etwork performance (that is, traffic with endpoints outside the
host machine) by allowing traffic to bypass the host machine’s network stack.

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
This is an attempt to clean up the POP3/SMTP/LPR/… DHCP lease server
data logic in networkd. This reduces code duplication and fixes a number
of bugs.
This removes any support for collecting POP3/SMPT/LPR servers acquired
via local DHCP client releases since noone uses that, and given how old
these protocols are I doubt this will change. It keeps support for
configuring them for the dhcp server however.
The differences between the DNS/NTP/SIP/POP3/SMTP/LPR configuration
logics are minimized.
This removes the relevant symbols from sd-network.h (which is an
internal API only at this point after all).
This is unfortunately not well test, given the old code for this had
barely any tests. But the new code should not perform worse at least,
and allow us to release, since it corrects some interfaces visible in
the .network configuration format.
Fixes: #15943
In DHCPv6-PD environment, where WAN interface requests IPv6 via DHCPv6,
receives the address as well as delegated prefixes, with LAN interfaces
serving those delegated prefixes in their router advertisement messages.
The LAN interfaces on the router themselves do not have
the IPv6 addresses assigned by networkd from the prefix it
serves on that interface. Now this patch enables it.
It doesn't make much sense to have ConfigureWithoutCarrier set, but not
IgnoreCarrierLoss; all the configuration added during initial interface
bring-up will be lost at the first carrier up/down.
This allows users to configure a subnet id that should be used instead
of automatically (sequentially) assigned subnets. The previous attempt
had the downside that the subnet id would not be the same between
networkd restarts. In some setups it is desirable to have predictable
subnet ids across restarts of services and systems.
The code for the assignment had to be broken up into two pieces. One of
them is the old (sequential) assignment of prefixes and the other is the
new assignment based on configured subnet ids. The new assignment code
has to be executed first and has to be taken into account when (later
on) allocating the "old" subnets from the same pool.
Instead of having one iteration through the links we are now trying to
allocate a prefix for every link on every delegated prefix, unless they
received an assignment in a previous iteration.
Defines how link-local and autoconf addresses are generated.
0: generate address based on EUI64 (default)
1: do no generate a link-local address, use EUI64 for addresses generated
from autoconf
2: generate stable privacy addresses, using the secret from
stable_secret (RFC7217)
3: generate stable privacy addresses, using a random secret if unset
Link groups are similar to port ranges found in managed switches.
You can add network interfaces to a numbered group and perform operations
on all the interfaces from that group at once.
Anyone previously using the UseRoutes=false parameter expected their
dhcp4-provided gateway route to be ignored, as well. However, with
the introduction of the UseGateway= parameter, this is no longer true.
In order to keep backwards compatibility, this sets the UseGateway=
default value to whatever UseRoutes= has been set to.
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
For now, this function is nearly equivalent to the si_uint64 parser, except for
an additional range check as Linux only takes 32-bit values as bitrates. In
future, this may also be used to introduce fancier bitrate config formats.
When specifying `DHCPv4.SendOption=`, it is used by systemd-networkd to
set the value of that option within the DHCP request that is sent out.
This differs to setting `DHCPServer.SendOption=`, which will place all
the options together as suboptions into the vendor-specific information
(code 43) option.
This commit adds two new config options, `DHCPv4.SendVendorOption=` and
`DHCPServer.SendVendorOption=`. These both have the behaviour of the old
`DHCPServer.SendOption=` flag, and set the value of the suboption in the
vendor-specific information option.
The behaviour of `DHCPServer.SendOption=` is then changed to reflect
that of `DHCPv4.SendOption=`. It will set the value of the corresponding
option in the DHCP request.
Proportional Integral controller-Enhanced (PIE) is a control
theoretic active queue management scheme. It is based on the
proportional integral controller but aims to control delay.

This never made into a release, so we can change the name with impunity.
Suggested by Davide Pesavento.
I opted to add the "ing" ending. "Fair queuing" is the name of the general
concept and algorithm, and "Fair queue" is mostly used for the implementation
name.
PrefixRoute= was added by e63be0847c,
but unfortunately, the meaning of PrefixRoute= is inverted; when true
IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag is added. This introduces AddPrefixRoute=
setting.
Stochastic Fairness Queueing is a classless queueing discipline.
SFQ does not shape traffic but only schedules the transmission of packets, based on 'flows'.
The goal is to ensure fairness so that each flow is able to send data in turn,
thus preventing any single flow from drowning out the rest.
