Thank you. I am curious to know if this new setting:<br>
ConfigureWithoutCarrier=1 would resolve my query few
months back.<br>
(Although I would not be able to try it out yet for 2-3
weeks)<br>
<br>
Subject: Persistent address on "Lost carrier"<br>
Link: <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2017-June/039041.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/<wbr>archives/systemd-devel/2017-Ju<wbr>ne/039041.html</a><br>
<br>
i.e. systemd-networkd should not remove IP address and
routes on "Lost carrier".<br>
<br>
I looked at the code here:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/network/networkd-link.c" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/systemd/sys<wbr>temd/blob/master/src/network/n<wbr>etworkd-link.c</a><br>
<br>
It appears that - it is still not so.<br>
<br>
i.e. If carrier is lost (eg. cable removed / network
issues) then<br>
link_update() function would go ahead and call
link_carrier_lost()<br>
and unconfigure the device.<br>
<br>
i.e. it will not obey ConfigureWithoutCarrier=1 which I
believe it should.<br>

</div>
<div>No that is not intended use case for
ConfigureWithoutCarrier=. It will only look during
configuring the the link.</div>
<div> While configuring a link even if that link has no
carrier it will go on set it as configured for example
empty bridges.<br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6645" target="_blank">https://github.com/systemd/sys<wbr>temd/issues/6645</a>.
But in your case It is already configured via gained
carrier not via </div>
<div>ConfigureWithoutCarrier even if you set it to true.</div>

My issue is on similar lines too. May be extension to it.<br>
<br>
i.e. if ConfigureWithoutCarrier is set then it should not
Un-configure when carrier is lost.</div></blockquote></div></div></div><div dir="auto">How it will loose the carrier first place if it never intended to gain carrier. That means it's a totall different use case. Don't drop config if carrier is lost. For that you need to open a rfe request. </div><div dir="auto"></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

The problem I face is that I have some IPs via certain "secure"
interface. (set via [Route])<br>
<br>
But if carrier is lost for a while for any reason then IP address as
well as routes get deleted.<br>
<br>
When routes get deleted then packets to those IPs start going via
"default" route which becomes security risk.<br>
<br>
I can workaround this via firewall.<br>
<br>
But it would be great if ConfigureWithoutCarrier is checked for
carrier_lost case too and IP is not un-configured.<br></div></blockquote></div></div></div><div dir="auto">PreserveConfigIfCarrierLost would be more appropriate. Both a different use case. I don't think we should mixup. </div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
