## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
I like to keep up with what established operating systems or Linux distributions
|
||||
are doing even though I am not using them all everyday. While trying out
|
||||
OpenSUSE again recently, I gave a first try ever to using `systemd-networkd`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of how to configure your network statically with
|
||||
`systemd-networkd`. The quirk is that there is no way to specify two `Gateway`
|
||||
attributes in a `Network` block. Since you can have multiple `Address` blocks,
|
||||
this is an inconsistency that required some reading of the manual before it
|
||||
clicked.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is what ended up working for my `/etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` ini
|
||||
[Match]
|
||||
MACAddress=fa:16:3e:82:71:b7
|
||||
|
||||
[Network]
|
||||
Address=37.187.244.19/32
|
||||
Address=2001:41d0:401:3100::fd5/64
|
||||
DNS=1.1.1.1
|
||||
|
||||
[Route]
|
||||
Destination=0.0.0.0/0
|
||||
Gateway=37.187.244.1
|
||||
GatewayOnLink=yes
|
||||
Metric=10
|
||||
|
||||
[Route]
|
||||
Destination=::/0
|
||||
Gateway=2001:41d0:401:3100::1
|
||||
Metric=10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `GatewayOnLink` attribute might not be needed for you. I am using it because
|
||||
this is an OVH box and this provider likes to reduce instances chatter by
|
||||
issuing `/32` netmasks on DHCP. Though I could use a more standard netmask in
|
||||
this static configuration, I choose to respect their preference.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
In the end `systemd-networkd` works well and I have no complaints other than
|
||||
this quirkiness.
