Clemens Gruber 77ff6022fa networkd: Add EmitRouter= option for DHCP Server (#3251) 
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.

<para>Network setup is performed by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>Network files must have the extension
<filename>.network</filename>; other extensions are ignored.
Networks are applied to links whenever the links appear.</para>
<para>The <filename>.network</filename> files are read from the
files located in the system network directory
<filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>, the volatile
runtime network directory
<filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local
administration network directory
<filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. All configuration files
are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order, regardless
of the directories in which they live. However, files with
identical filenames replace each other. Files in
<filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
<filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same
name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to
override a system-supplied configuration file with a local file if
needed. As a special case, an empty file (file size 0) or symlink
with the same name pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>
disables the configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>
<para>Note that an interface without any static IPv6 addresses configured, and neither DHCPv6 nor IPv6LL enabled,
shall be considered to have no IPv6 support. IPv6 will be automatically disabled for that interface by writing "1"
to <filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<replaceable>ifname</replaceable>/disable_ipv6</filename>.

<title>[Match] Section Options</title>
<para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal>

to a given device; and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section

lexical order) of the network files that matches a given device
is applied, all later files are ignored, even if they match as
well.</para>

<literal>routers-only</literal>. When true, incoming LLDP packets are accepted and a database of all LLDP
neighbors maintained. If <literal>routers-only</literal> is set only LLDP data of various types of routers
is collected and LLDP data about other types of devices ignored (such as stations, telephones and
others). If false, LLDP reception is disabled. Defaults to <literal>routers-only</literal>. Use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>networkctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> to query the
collected neighbor data. LLDP is only available on Ethernet links. See <varname>EmitLLDP=</varname> below

<term><varname>EmitLLDP=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Controls support for Ethernet LLDP packet emission. Accepts a boolean parameter or the special values
<literal>nearest-bridge</literal>, <literal>non-tpmr-bridge</literal> and
<literal>customer-bridge</literal>. Defaults to false, which turns off LLDP packet emission. If not false,
a short LLDP packet with information about the local system is sent out in regular intervals on the
link. The LLDP packet will contain information about the local host name, the local machine ID (as stored
in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) and the
local interface name, as well as the pretty hostname of the system (as set in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-info</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>). LLDP
emission is only available on Ethernet links. Note that this setting passes data suitable for
identification of host to the network and should thus not be enabled on untrusted networks, where such
identification data should not be made available. Use this option to permit other systems to identify on
which interfaces they are connected to this system. The three special values control propagation of the
LLDP packets. The <literal>nearest-bridge</literal> setting permits propagation only to the nearest
connected bridge, <literal>non-tpmr-bridge</literal> permits propagation across Two-Port MAC Relays, but
not any other bridges, and <literal>customer-bridge</literal> permits propagation until a customer bridge
is reached. For details about these concepts, see <ulink
url="http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1AB-2009.pdf">IEEE 802.1AB-2009</ulink>. Note that
configuring this setting to true is equivalent to <literal>nearest-bridge</literal>, the recommended and
most restricted level of propagation. See <varname>LLDP=</varname> above for an option to enable LLDP
reception.</para>

<para>A static IPv4 or IPv6 address and its prefix length,

The format of the address must be as described in

This is a short-hand for an [Address] section only

</para>
<para>If the specified address is 0.0.0.0 (for IPv4) or
[::] (for IPv6), a new address range of the requested size
is automatically allocated from a system-wide pool of
unused ranges. The allocated range is checked against all
current network interfaces and all known network
configuration files to avoid address range conflicts. The
default system-wide pool consists of 192.168.0.0/16,
172.16.0.0/12 and 10.0.0.0/8 for IPv4, and fc00::/7 for

<listitem>
<para>The domains used for DNS host name resolution on this link. Takes a list of DNS domain names which
are used as search suffixes for extending single-label host names (host names containing no dots) to become
fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). If a single-label host name is resolved on this interface, each of
the specified search domains are appended to it in turn, converting it into a fully qualified domain name,
until one of them may be successfully resolved.</para>
<para>The specified domains are also used for routing of DNS queries: look-ups for host names ending in the
domains specified here are preferably routed to the DNS servers configured for this interface. If a domain
name is prefixed with <literal>~</literal>, the domain name becomes a pure "routing" domain, is used for
DNS query routing purposes only and is not used in the described domain search logic. By specifying a
routing domain of <literal>~.</literal> (the tilde indicating definition of a routing domain, the dot
referring to the DNS root domain which is the implied suffix of all valid DNS names) it is possible to
route all DNS traffic preferably to the DNS server specified for this interface. The route domain logic is
particularly useful on multi-homed hosts with DNS servers serving particular private DNS zones on each
interface.</para>

<para>Takes a boolean argument, or the special value <literal>route</literal>. When true, the domain name

<para>It is recommended to enable this option only on trusted networks, as setting this affects resolution

only as routing domain, rather than as search domain, in order to not have it affect local resolution of
single-label names.</para>

<listitem><para>Configures the pool of addresses to hand out. The pool

<varname>PoolSize=</varname> takes the number of IP addresses in the

the first address after the subnet address and takes up the rest of
the subnet, excluding the broadcast address. If the pool includes
the server address (the default), this is reserved and not handed

lease time is used for clients that did not ask for a specific
lease time. If a client asks for a lease time longer than the
maximum lease time, it is automatically shortened to the
specified time. The default lease time defaults to 1h, the
maximum lease time to 12h. Shorter lease times are beneficial
if the configuration data in DHCP leases changes frequently

<varname>DNS=</varname> option, which takes a list of IPv4

enabled but no servers configured, the servers are
automatically propagated from an "uplink" interface that has
appropriate servers set. The "uplink" interface is determined
by the default route of the system with the highest
priority. Note that this information is acquired at the time
the lease is handed out, and does not take uplink interfaces
into account that acquire DNS or NTP server information at a
later point. DNS server propagation does not take
<filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> into account. Also, note
that the leases are not refreshed if the uplink network
configuration changes. To ensure clients regularly acquire the
most current uplink DNS server information, it is thus
advisable to shorten the DHCP lease time via
