Susant Sahani 95b74ef6ea networkd: add support for address label 
IPv6 address labels are used for address selection; they are described in RFC 3484.
Precedence is managed by userspace, and only the label itself is stored in the kernel.

<title>Description</title>
<para>Network setup is performed by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The main network file 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>Along with the network file <filename>foo.network</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
<filename>foo.network.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix
<literal>.conf</literal> from this directory will be parsed after the file itself is
parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration settings, without having to modify the main
configuration file. Each drop-in file must have appropriate section headers.</para>
<para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> or
<filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> directories. Drop-in files in
<filename>/etc</filename> take precedence over those in <filename>/run</filename> which in turn
take precedence over those in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these
directories take precedence over the main netdev file wherever located. (Of course, since
<filename>/run</filename> is temporary and <filename>/usr/lib</filename> is for vendors, it is
unlikely drop-ins should be used in either of those places.)</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>.
</para>

<title>[Match] Section Options</title>
<para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal>
section, which determines if a given network file may be applied
to a given device; and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section
specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in
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>
<para>A network file is said to match a device if each of the
entries in the <literal>[Match]</literal> section matches, or if
the section is empty. The following keys are accepted:</para>
<variablelist class='network-directives'>
<varlistentry>

<listitem>
<para>The hardware address to set for the device.</para>
</listitem>

<listitem>
<para>The maximum transmission unit in bytes to set for the
device. The usual suffixes K, M, G, are supported and are
understood to the base of 1024.</para>
<para>Note that if IPv6 is enabled on the interface, and the MTU is chosen
below 1280 (the minimum MTU for IPv6) it will automatically be increased to this value.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ARP=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para> A boolean. Enables or disables the ARP (low-level Address Resolution Protocol)
for this interface. Defaults to unset, which means that the kernel default will be used.</para>
<para> For example, disabling ARP is useful when creating multiple MACVLAN or VLAN virtual
interfaces atop a single lower-level physical interface, which will then only serve as a
link/"bridge" device aggregating traffic to the same physical link and not participate in
the network otherwise.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<para>Enables DHCPv4 and/or DHCPv6 client support. Accepts
<literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>,
<literal>ipv4</literal>, or <literal>ipv6</literal>.</para>
<para>Note that DHCPv6 will by default be triggered by Router
Advertisement, if that is enabled, regardless of this parameter.
By enabling DHCPv6 support explicitly, the DHCPv6 client will
be started regardless of the presence of routers on the link,
or what flags the routers pass. See
<literal>IPv6AcceptRA=</literal>.</para>
<para>Furthermore, note that by default the domain name
specified through DHCP is not used for name resolution.
See option <option>UseDomains=</option> below.</para>
<para>See the <literal>[DHCP]</literal> section below for further configuration options for the DHCP client
support.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DHCPServer=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean. Enables DHCPv4 server support. Defaults

<term><varname>IPv4LLRoute=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean. When true, sets up the route needed for
non-IPv4LL hosts to communicate with IPv4LL-only hosts. Defaults
to false.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>IPv6Token=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>An IPv6 address with the top 64 bits unset. When set, indicates the
64-bit interface part of SLAAC IPv6 addresses for this link. Note that
the token is only ever used for SLAAC, and not for DHCPv6 addresses, even
in the case DHCP is requested by router advertisement. By default, the
token is autogenerated.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>LLMNR=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean or <literal>resolve</literal>. When true,
enables <ulink

Multicast Name Resolution</ulink> on the link. When set to
<literal>resolve</literal>, only resolution is enabled,
but not host registration and announcement. Defaults to

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DNSSEC=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean or
<literal>allow-downgrade</literal>. When true, enables
<ulink
url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4033">DNSSEC</ulink>
DNS validation support on the link. When set to
<literal>allow-downgrade</literal>, compatibility with
non-DNSSEC capable networks is increased, by automatically
turning off DNSEC in this case. This option defines a
per-interface setting for
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>resolved.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
global <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> option. Defaults to
false. This setting is read by

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DNSSECNegativeTrustAnchors=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>A space-separated list of DNSSEC negative
trust anchor domains. If specified and DNSSEC is enabled,
look-ups done via the interface's DNS server will be subject
to the list of negative trust anchors, and not require
authentication for the specified domains, or anything below
it. Use this to disable DNSSEC authentication for specific
private domains, that cannot be proven valid using the

<term><varname>LLDP=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Controls support for Ethernet LLDP packet reception. LLDP is a link-layer protocol commonly
implemented on professional routers and bridges which announces which physical port a system is connected
to, as well as other related data. Accepts a boolean or the special value
<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
for enabling LLDP packet emission from the local system.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<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>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>BindCarrier=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A link name or a list of link names. When set, controls the behavior of the current
link. When all links in the list are in an operational down state, the current link is brought
down. When at least one link has carrier, the current interface is brought up.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Address=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A static IPv4 or IPv6 address and its prefix length,
separated by a <literal>/</literal> character. Specify
this key more than once to configure several addresses.
The format of the address must be as described in
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>inet_pton</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
This is a short-hand for an [Address] section only
containing an Address key (see below). This option may be
specified more than once.
</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
IPv6. This functionality is useful to manage a large
number of dynamically created network interfaces with the
same network configuration and automatic address range
assignment.</para>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Domains=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A list of domains which should be resolved using the DNS servers on this link. Each item in the list
should be a domain name, optionally prefixed with a tilde (<literal>~</literal>). The domains with the
prefix are called "routing-only domains". The domains without the prefix are called "search domains" and
are first 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>Both "search" and "routing-only" domains are used for routing of DNS queries: look-ups for host names
ending in those domains (hence also single label names, if any "search domains" are listed), are routed to
the DNS servers configured for this interface. The domain routing logic is particularly useful on
multi-homed hosts with DNS servers serving particular private DNS zones on each interface.</para>
<para>The "routing-only" domain <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) has special
effect. It causes all DNS traffic which does not match another configured domain routing entry to be routed
to DNS servers specified for this interface. This setting is useful to prefer a certain set of DNS servers
if a link on which they are connected is available.</para>
<para>This setting is read by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
"Search domains" correspond to the <varname>domain</varname> and <varname>search</varname> entries in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>resolv.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Domain name routing has no equivalent in the traditional glibc API, which has no concept of domain
name servers limited to a specific link.</para>
</listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>NTP=</varname></term>

<para>An NTP server address. This option may be specified more than once. This setting is read by

<term><varname>IPForward=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configures IP packet forwarding for the

<term><varname>IPv6ProxyNDPAddress=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>An IPv6 address, for which Neighbour Advertisement

Proxy NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) is a technique for IPv6 to
allow routing of addresses to a different destination when peers expect them
to be present on a certain physical link.
In this case a router answers Neighbour Advertisement messages intended for
another machine by offering its own MAC address as destination.
Unlike proxy ARP for IPv4, is not enabled globally, but will only send Neighbour
Advertisement messages for addresses in the IPv6 neighbor proxy table,
which can also be shown by <command>ip -6 neighbour show proxy</command>
This option may be specified more than once. systemd-networkd will control the
per-interface `proxy_ndp` switch for each configured interface, depending on whether
there are <option>IPv6ProxyNDPAddress=</option> entries configured and add these to
the kernels IPv6 neighbor proxy table.
Defaults to unset.

<para>A boolean. Controls whether the bridge should flood
traffic for which an FDB entry is missing and the destination
is unknown through this port. Defaults to on.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>HairPin=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean. Configures whether traffic may be sent back
out of the port on which it was received. By default, this
flag is false, and the bridge will not forward traffic back
out of the receiving port.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>UseBPDU=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean. Configures whether STP Bridge Protocol Data Units will be
processed by the bridge port. Defaults to yes.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>FastLeave=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean. This flag allows the bridge to immediately stop multicast
traffic on a port that receives an IGMP Leave message. It is only used with
IGMP snooping if enabled on the bridge. Defaults to off.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>AllowPortToBeRoot=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A boolean. Configures whether a given port is allowed to
become a root port. Only used when STP is enabled on the bridge.
Defaults to on.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Cost=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Sets the "cost" of sending packets of this interface.
Each port in a bridge may have a different speed and the cost
is used to decide which link to use. Faster interfaces
should have lower costs. It is an interger value between 1 and
65535.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Priority=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Sets the "priority" of sending packets on this interface.
Each port in a bridge may have a different priority which is used
to decide which link to use. Lower value means higher priority.
It is an interger value between 0 to 63. Networkd does not set any
default, meaning the kernel default value of 32 is used.</para>
