The networkd.conf file controls a variety of interesting settings
which don't seem to be configurable at the moment, including
adding names to route tables (for networkd only, although this commit
also exports them into iproute2 for convenience's sake), and
the speed metering functionality built into networkd.
Importantly, however, this also allows disabling the systemd
functionality where it likes to delete all the routes and routing rules
that haven't been configured through networkd whenever something causes
it to perform a reconfiguration.
As of systemd/systemd@e908434458,
systemd-networkd now automatically configures routes to addresses
specified in AllowedIPs unless explicitly disabled with
"RouteTable=off".
Add `systemd.network.networks.*.dhcpServerStaticLeaseConfig` to allow
for configuring static DHCP leases through the `[DHCPServerStaticLease]`
section. See systemd.network(5) of systemd 249 for details.
Also adds the NixOS test `systemd-networkd-dhcpserver-static-lease` to
test the assignment of static leases.
allows configuration of foo-over-udp decapsulation endpoints. sadly networkd
seems to lack the features necessary to support local and peer address
configuration, so those are only supported when using scripted configuration.
`systemd.network.networks.*.dhcpServerConfig` did not accept all of
the options which are valid for networkd's [DHCPServer] section. See
systemd.network(5) of systemd 247 for details.
networkd's [IPv6PrefixDelegation] section and IPv6PrefixDelegation=
options have been renamed as [IPv6SendRA] and IPv6SendRA= in systemd
247.
Throws if the deprecated option ipv6PrefixDelegationConfig is used.
With this systemd buffers netlink messages in early boot from the kernel
itself; and passes them on to networkd for processing once it's started.
Makes sure no routing messages are missed.
Also makes an alias so that dbus can activate this unit. Upstream has
this too.
This follows upstreams change in documentation. While the `[DHCP]`
section might still work it is undocumented and we should probably not
be using it anymore. Users can just upgrade to the new option without
much hassle.
I had to create a bit of custom module deprecation code since the usual
approach doesn't support wildcards in the path.
You can now specify option for the `[DHCPv6]` section with
`systemd.network.<name>.dhcpV6Config.…`. Previously you could only use
the combined legacy DHCP configuration.
Systemd upstream has deprecated CriticalConnection with v244 in favor of
KeepConnection as that seems to be more flexible:
The CriticalConnection= setting in .network files is now deprecated,
and replaced by a new KeepConfiguration= setting which allows more
detailed configuration of the IP configuration to keep in place.
1d61efb7f1 accidentially changed the
restartTriggers of systemd-networkd.service` to point to the attribute
name (in this case, a location relative to `/etc`), instead of the
location of the network-related unit files in the nix store.
This caused systemd-networkd to not get restarted on activation of new
networking config, if the file name hasn't changed.
Fix this, by pointing this back to the location in the nix store.
This mirrors the behaviour of systemd - It's udev that parses `.link`
files, not `systemd-networkd`.
This was originally applied in 36ef112a47,
but was reverted due to 1115959a8d causing
evaluation errors on hydra.
...even when networkd is disabled
This reverts commit ce78f3ac70, reversing
changes made to dc34da0755.
I'm sorry; Hydra has been unable to evaluate, always returning
> error: unexpected EOF reading a line
and I've been unable to reproduce the problem locally. Bisecting
pointed to this merge, but I still can't see what exactly was wrong.
