[wicked-devel] Wicked totally fails for eth card if the link is physically down at startup
by Nikolai Zhubr 19 Mar '16

Hi all, I'm having a problem with (apparently) wicked daemon as per stock opensuse 13.2. I'm observing that my manually specified static ip configuration for my eth card is not applied in case the link is physically down (e.g. the cable in unplugged) at boot time (and is not applied later too, even if the link restores somehow, but it wouldn't matter much anyway, see below). Also, I've just found the following rather strange statement in the wicked's README, quote: - The nanny daemon (if enabled) helps to automatically bring up configured interfaces as soon as the device is available (interface hotplugging) and set up IP configuration when a link (carrier) is detected. https://github.com/openSUSE/wicked/blob/master/README Please notice "when a link (carrier) is detected" in this fragment. It means the implicite "tiny" assumption that IP configuration is unneeded until the link is physically up. I believe this assumption is totally wrong and terrific. Well maybe its ok for a cellphone kind of environment, but on a server there might be e.g. a network service which wants to bind to a specific ip address at startup, and it will then certainly fail to start if no such ip address exists, etc etc. Generally such kind of behaviour easily screws a server one way or another (if I read it correctly). I've also filled a report for opensuse 13.2 here: http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=970774 Thank you.

[wicked-devel] wickedd-dhcp6 isn't grabbing the global IPv6 address via DHCP
by Scott Simpson 14 Mar '16

I'm using OpenSuSE 42.1 and wicked network management. The wickedd-dhcp6 program is not grabbing the global IPv6 address. Here is my output using wickedd-dhcp6: eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 64:70:02:11:C2:04 inet addr:71.198.202.25 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.248.0 inet6 addr: fe80::6670:2ff:fe11:c204/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:24268 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6366 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:6677253 (6.3 Mb) TX bytes:1008811 (985.1 Kb) When I used to run OpenSuSE 13.1 using NetworkManager I got: enp6s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 64:70:02:11:C2:04 inet addr:71.198.202.25 Bcast:71.198.207.255 Mask:255.255.248.0 inet6 addr: fe80::6670:2ff:fe11:c204/64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: 2001:558:6045:10c:1cc1:f1d1:2df3:7444/128 Scope:Global UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:18326382 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4489664 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:13654397617 (13021.8 Mb) TX bytes:1186632969 (1131.6 Mb) Notice the "Global" line in addition to the "Link" line. Is this not implemented in wickedd-dhcp6 yet? Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: wicked-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: wicked-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[wicked-devel] Set LINK_REQUIRED to no as default
by Jason Schultz 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Greetings. I hope this list is the appropriate place for this question from a wicked beginner. I found from online searches information on the LINK_REQUIRED parameter. I was able to set this parameter to "no" in order to ifup my devices without the link being ready. (In my case it is because I may want to ifup devices without a physical connection.) I am looking for how and where to set this up so that the default value is "no" for all devices; I don't want to add it to every ifcfg-* file on the system. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: wicked-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: wicked-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
