Re: networkd: static fallback ip for DHCP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For embedded systems, I would recommand connman over networkd exactly for that sort of reasons.

networkd has been designed mainly for the datacenter use-cases with lots of interfaces appearing and disapearing dynamically (dynamic containers)

for the embedded case where we have only a few network interfaces but the network itself changes a lot, connman might be a better choice.

Hi, 

we are developing an embedded device that can only be accessed via network.
If DHCP is used for network configuration we need a plan B if for some reason
no lease can be obtained. Our idea is to have a static IP as fallback.

In systemd I didn't find any hooks to react to a lease fail. The files in 
/var/run/systemd/netif apparently should not be used ("# This is private data.
Do not parse.").

Is the idea of a fallback IP address just not a good one, is such functionality
just not implemented in networkd or am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,
Benjamin
