[systemd-devel] [networkd] [RFC] ProfileName match constraint and profile selection via networkctl

[Clemens Gruber]

Hi,

I have the following problem: I use systemd-networkd on an embedded ARM
board but we have several different network usecases (with or without
VLAN trunking, etc.) which need to be configurable.

Until now, I tried to create a KernelCommandLine Match constraint to
control which .network and .netdev files are used for an interface, but
it's obviously not a good solution as a change requires a reboot.

What do you think about creating a Profile= or ProfileName= match
constraint for .net* files and let the user switch between profiles
through networkctl ?

Thanks,
Clemens
