Release : 1.el8
URL :
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd
Summary : System and Service Manager (optional components)
Description :
The systemd-extras package provides optional systemd components as sub-
packages, such as systemd-networkd and systemd-timesyncd, which are not
part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (and possibly derivates).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Changes with 246 ================ * `networkd.conf` gained a new boolean
setting `ManageForeignRoutes=`. If enabled `systemd-networkd` manages all routes
configured by other tools. * `.network` files managed by `systemd-networkd`
gained a new section `[SR-IOV]`, in order to configure SR-IOV capable network
devices. * `systemd-networkd`'s `[IPv6Prefix]` section in `.network` files
gained a new boolean setting `Assign=`. If enabled an address from the prefix is
automatically assigned to the interface. * `systemd-networkd` gained a new
section `[DHCPv6PrefixDelegation]` which controls delegated prefixes assigned by
DHCPv6 client. The section has three settings: `SubnetID=`, `Assign=`, and
`Token=`. The setting `SubnetID=` allows explicit configuration of the preferred
subnet that `systemd-networkd`'s Prefix Delegation logic assigns to interfaces.
If `Assign=` is enabled (which is the default) an address from any acquired
delegated prefix is automatically chosen and assigned to the interface. The
setting `Token=` specifies an optional address generation mode for `Assign=`.
* `systemd-networkd`'s `[Network]` section gained a new setting
`IPv4AcceptLocal=`. If enabled the interface accepts packets with local source
addresses. * `systemd-networkd` gained support for configuring the HTB
queuing discipline in the `[HierarchyTokenBucket]` and
`[HierarchyTokenBucketClass]` sections. Similar the "pfifo" qdisc may be
configured in the `[PFIFO]` section, "GRED" in `[GenericRandomEarlyDetection]`,
"SFB" in `[StochasticFairBlue]`, "cake" in `[CAKE]`, "PIE"
in `[PIE]`, "DRR" in
`[DeficitRoundRobinScheduler]` and `[DeficitRoundRobinSchedulerClass]`, "BFIFO"
in `[BFIFO]`, "PFIFOHeadDrop" in `[PFIFOHeadDrop]`, "PFIFOFast" in
`[PFIFOFast]`, "HHF" in `[HeavyHitterFilter]`, "ETS" in
`[EnhancedTransmissionSelection]` and "QFQ" in `[QuickFairQueueing]` and
`[QuickFairQueueingClass]`. * `systemd-networkd` gained support for a new
`Termination=` setting in the `[CAN]` section for configuring the termination
resistor. It also gained a new `ListenOnly=` setting for controlling whether to
only listen on CAN interfaces, without interfering with traffic otherwise (which
is useful for debugging/monitoring CAN network traffic). `DataBitRate=`,
`DataSamplePoint=`, `FDMode=`, `FDNonISO=` have been added to configure various
CAN-FD aspects. * `systemd-networkd`'s `[DHCPv6]` section gained a new option
`WithoutRA=`. When enabled, DHCPv6 will be attempted right-away without
requiring an Router Advertisement packet suggesting it first (i.e. without the
'M' or 'O' flags set). The `[IPv6AcceptRA]` section gained a boolean
option
`DHCPv6Client=` that may be used to turn off the DHCPv6 client even if the RA
packets suggest it. * `systemd-networkd`'s `[DHCPv4]` section gained a new
setting `UseGateway=` which may be used to turn off use of the gateway
information provided by the DHCP lease. A new `FallbackLeaseLifetimeSec=`
setting may be used to configure how to process leases that lack a lifetime
option. * `systemd-networkd`'s `[DHCPv4]` and `[DHCPServer]` sections gained
a new setting `SendVendorOption=` allowing configuration of additional vendor
options to send in the DHCP requests/responses. The `[DHCPv6]` section gained a
new `SendOption=` setting for sending arbitrary DHCP options. `RequestOptions=`
has been added to request arbitrary options from the server. `UserClass=` has
been added to set the DHCP user class field. * `systemd-networkd`'s
`[DHCPServer]` section gained a new set of options `EmitPOP3=`/`POP3=`,
`EmitSMTP=`/`SMTP=`, `EmitLPR=`/`LPR=` for including server information about
these three protocols in the DHCP lease. It also gained support for including
"MUD" URLs ("Manufacturer Usage Description"). Support for
"MUD" URLs was also
added to the LLDP stack, configurable in the `[LLDP]` section in `.network`
files. * The `Mode=` settings in `[MACVLAN]` and `[MACVTAP]` now support
'source' mode. Also, the sections now support a new setting `SourceMACAddress=`.
* `systemd-networkd`'s `.netdev` files now support a new setting `VLANProtocol=`
in the `[Bridge]` section that allows configuration of the VLAN protocol to use.
* `systemd-networkd` supports a new `Group=` setting in the `[Link]` section of
the `.network` files, to control the link group. * `systemd-networkd`'s
`[Network]` section gained a new `IPv6LinkLocalAddressGenerationMode=` setting,
which specifies how IPv6 link local address is generated. * A new default
`.network` file is now shipped that matches TUN/TAP devices that begin with
"vt-" in their name. Such interfaces will have IP routing onto the host links
set up automatically. This is supposed to be used by VM managers to trivially
acquire a network interface which is fully set up for host communication, simply
by carefully picking an interface name to use. * `systemd-networkd`'s
`[DHCPv6]` section gained a new setting `RouteMetric=` which sets the route
priority for routes specified by the DHCP server. * `systemd-networkd`'s
`[DHCPv6]` section gained a new setting `VendorClass=` which configures the
vendor class information sent to DHCP server. * The `BlackList=` settings in
`.network` files' `[DHCPv4]` and `[IPv6AcceptRA]` sections have been renamed
`DenyList=`. The old names are still understood to provide compatibility. *
`networkctl` gained the new `forcerenew` command for forcing all DHCP server
clients to renew their lease. The interface `status` output will now show
numerous additional fields of information about an interface. There are new `up`
and `down` commands to bring specific interfaces up or down.
