IPv4LL in SUSE Linux
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
IPv4LL provides support of peer to peer address assignment from a
|
|
special link local IP range.
|
|
|
|
SUSE Linux contains two implementations of IPv4LL autoip protocol:
|
|
|
|
|
|
avahi-autoipd from avahi-autoipd package from avahi project
|
|
===========================================================
|
|
|
|
This is a daemon, that runs and assign IPv4LL address, either as a
|
|
fallback or at any time, depending on System/Zeroconf
|
|
AVAHI_AUTOIPD_FORCE_BIND sysconfig key (disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
The daemon runs permanently for each device, monitors the network
|
|
status, and assigns IPv4LL address when requested.
|
|
|
|
See http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd#ModesofOperation for more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activate avahi-autoipd implementation
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Install avahi-autoip package and check that System/Zeroconf
|
|
AVAHI_AUTOIPD_FORCE_BIND sysconfig key is "yes" (the default).
|
|
|
|
- Set the address settings in the YaST network configuration either to
|
|
None (to have IPv4LL address only) or DHCP (if you want DHCP together
|
|
with IPv4LL).
|
|
|
|
- Note that NetworkManager uses avahi-autoipd by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For AVAHI_AUTOIPD_FORCE_BIND=false:
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In this mode the daemon assigns IPv4LL address only of DHCP fails.
|
|
|
|
Advantage:
|
|
- All programs work with this setup.
|
|
|
|
Disadvantage:
|
|
- When DHCP assigns address, all existing IPv4LL connections are lost.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For AVAHI_AUTOIPD_FORCE_BIND=true:
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In this mode the deamon forces binding address from IPv4LL address, even if
|
|
standard IPv4 address exists.
|
|
|
|
Advantage:
|
|
- You can depend on IPv4LL address always assigned.
|
|
|
|
Disadvantage:
|
|
- Some programs don't work well with labeled IP addresses or interface
|
|
aliases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPv4LL assigned by dhcpcd
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
If dhcpcd fails to obtain a lease, it will probe for a valid IPv4LL
|
|
address. Once obtained it will probe every 10 seconds for a DHCP server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activate dhcpcd implementation
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This implementation is not supported in SUSE yet. Enabling this
|
|
implementation would require several manual changes in the
|
|
/sbin/ifup-dhcp script (removal of -L argument, and skipping of calls to
|
|
${SCRIPTNAME}-autoip in /sbin/ifup (e. g. by not setting Zeroconf in the
|
|
YaST network configuration).
