It is useful to color in the admin state both to easily spot failed links, but also to quickly
distinguish between links that are fully configured and in degraded mode (only IPv4LL) or in
degraded mode and still waiting for DHCP.
This is the state when we are waiting for udev to initialize the device, and waiting for
libudev and rtnl to be in sync. In the future we probably will also be waiting for nl80211.
At this point we do not yet have enough information to know whether or not networkd should
be handling the device.
This causes machines without connectivity to hang where they would otherwise fail. Keep it
opt-in for now, but consider whether we sholud just drop it.
In contrast to the DHCP/IPv4LL/ICMP6 APIs sd-network is not a protocol
implementation but a client API for networkd, hence move it into
libsystemd proper.
The networkd should abstract the difference between DHCP supplied and
configured data, and hence the DHCP lease concept should not exposed on
the client side.
Should we want to support arbitrary DHCP fields one day, we can add a
new sd_network_get_link_dhcp_field() call or so.
In the long run this should become a full fledged client to networkd
(but not before networkd learns bus support). For now, just pull
interesting data out of networkd, udev, and rtnl and present it to the
user, in a simple but useful output.
Primarily, this means we get rid of net_parse_inaddr(), and replace it
everywhere with in_addr_from_string() and in_addr_from_string_auto().
These functions do not clobber the callers arguments on failure, which
is more close to our usual coding style.
ENODATA should be returned whenever we have no idea about something. A
missing LLMNR setting can only really happen during upgrades, in whichc
ase we really have no idea, so let's turn this into another ENODATA
case.
getopt is usually good at printing out a nice error message when
commandline options are invalid. It distinguishes between an unknown
option and a known option with a missing arg. It is better to let it
do its job and not use opterr=0 unless we actually want to suppress
messages. So remove opterr=0 in the few places where it wasn't really
useful.
When an error in options is encountered, we should not print a lengthy
help() and overwhelm the user, when we know precisely what is wrong
with the commandline. In addition, since help() prints to stdout, it
should not be used except when requested with -h or --help.
Also, simplify things here and there.
This changes the behavior when both DHCPv4 and IPv4LL are enabled. Before,
we would disable IPv4LL when we got a DHCPv4 lease and enable it if the
lease was lost.
Now we just always set up both, if both are enabled, but the DHCPv4
addresses and routes will always take precedence due to their metric
and scope.
This is necessary for non-ipv4ll hosts to communicate with ipv4ll-only hosts on the same link. Defaults
to being enabled, but can be opted out.
See: <http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd#Routes>
This avoids having to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6, allowing us
to keep their internal orderings. The consumers now has to turn the
strings into addresses.
All routes added by networkd are currently set RTPROT_BOOT, which according
to the kernel means "Route installed during boot" (rtnetlink.h). But this
is not always the case as networkd changes routing after boot too. Since
the kernel gives more detailed protocols, use them.
With this patch, user-configured static routes now use RTPROT_STATIC (which
they are) and DHCP routes use RTPROT_DHCP. There is no define for IPv4LL
yet, so those are installed as RTPROT_STATIC (though perhaps RTPROT_RA is
better?).

The following bond options are supported by this patch.
MIIMonitorSec:
Specifies the frequency in milli-seconds that MII link
monitoring will occur.
UpDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to enable a link
after a link up status has been detected.
DownDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to disable a link
after a link failure has been detected.
