SYSTEMD-NETWORK-GENERATOR.SERVICE
NAMESYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
KERNEL COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
CREDENTIALS
SEE ALSO
NAME
systemd-network-generator.service, systemd-network-generator - Generate network configuration from the kernel command line
SYNOPSIS
systemd-network-generator.service
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-network-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-network-generator.service is a system service that translates ip= and related settings on the kernel command line (see below) into systemd.network (5), systemd.netdev (5), and systemd.link (5) configuration files understood by systemd-networkd.service (8) and systemd-udevd.service (8).
Files are generated in /run/systemd/network/.
Note: despite the name, this generator executes as a normal systemd service and is not an implementation of the systemd.generator (7) concept.
KERNEL COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
This tool understands the following options:
ip= , nameserver= , rd.route= , rd.peerdns=
Translated into systemd.network (5) files.
In addition to the parameters dracut.cmdline (7) defines the ip= option accepts the special value "link-local". If selected, the network interfaces will be configured for link-local addressing (IPv4LL, IPv6LL) only, DHCP or IPv6RA will not be enabled.
Added in version 245.
ifname= , net.ifname_policy=
Translated into systemd.link (5) files.
Added in version 245.
vlan= , bond= , bridge= , bootdev=
Translated into systemd.netdev (5) files.
Added in version 245.
See dracut.cmdline (7) and systemd-udevd.service (8) for option syntax and details.
CREDENTIALS
systemd-network-generator supports the service credentials logic as implemented by ImportCredential= / LoadCredential= / SetCredential= (see systemd.exec (5) for details). The following credentials are used when passed in:
network.conf.* , network.link.* , network.netdev.* , network.network.*
These credentials should contain valid networkd.conf (5), systemd.link (5), systemd.netdev (5), systemd.network (5) configuration data. From each matching credential a separate file is created. Example: a passed credential network.link.50-foobar will be copied into a configuration file 50-foobar.link.
Note that the resulting files are created world-readable, it is hence recommended to not include secrets in these credentials, but to supply them via separate credentials directly to systemd-networkd.service (8).
Added in version 256.
Note that by default the systemd-networkd.service (8) service is set up to inherit the these credentials from the service manager.
