WiredNetworkInterface¶

Description¶

The WiredNetworkInterface object represents one of the wired (ethernet) network interfaces of the device. The mode property allows defining the network configuration method (static/DHCP). When working with static addresses many additional properties allow detailled configuration and customization. Additionally the provided configuration items can be used to make the settings available to generic property-based frontends.

Enumerations¶

Properties¶

address¶

This property holds a static IPv4 or IPv6 address for this interface and its prefix length, separated by a / character, e.g. 192.168.2.19/24. Multiple addresses (including prefix) can be specified and separated by space.

› Type:	String
› Signal:	addressChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

addressItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the address property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

dhcpServer¶

This property holds an optional DhcpServer object which defines settings for a DHCP server started on this interface. This may be required when TCP/IP-based sensor and I/O modules are connected to this interface and obtain their configuration through DHCP.

› Type:	DhcpServer
› Signal:	dhcpServerChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

dns¶

This property holds a list of DNS servers which should be used for resolving hostnames to IP addresses. Multiple server addresses can be specified and separated by space. Each server address has to be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.

› Type:	String
› Signal:	dnsChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

dnsItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the dns property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

domains¶

This property holds a list of DNS search domains which should be resolved using the DNS servers on this interface. See the Domains description in the systemd-networkd manpage for details on syntax and semantics.

› Type:	String
› Signal:	domainsChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

domainsItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the domains property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

gateway¶

This property holds the gateway address for this interface. This is required to communicate with hosts outside of the configured subnet. Multiple gateways can be specified and separated by space. Each gateway address has to be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.

› Type:	String
› Signal:	gatewayChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

gatewayItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the gateway property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

index¶

This property holds which physical network interface to configure through a certain instance.

› Type:	Index
› Default:	WiredNetworkInterface.EthernetNone
› Signal:	indexChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

indexItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the index property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

ipv6AutoConfig¶

This property holds whether to enable IPv6 auto configuration support. When enabled IPv6 Router Advertisements are received and processed and the DHCPv6 client is enabled on this interface. See the IPv6AcceptRA description in the systemd-networkd manpage for details.

› Type:	Boolean
› Default:	`true`
› Signal:	ipv6AutoConfigChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

ipv6AutoConfigItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the ipv6AutoConfig property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

linkLocalAddressing¶

This property holds whether to enable link-local address autoconfiguration. See Link-local address for details.

› Type:	Boolean
› Default:	`false`
› Signal:	linkLocalAddressingChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

linkLocalAddressingItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the linkLocalAddressing property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

mode¶

This property holds the configuration mode for this network interface. When set to WiredNetworkInterface.ModeStatic at least the address property has to be specified as well. Depending on the desired purpose of the interface, the dns and gateway properties should be configured as well.

› Type:	Mode
› Default:	WiredNetworkInterface.ModeNone
› Signal:	modeChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

modeItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the mode property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

multicastDNS¶

This property holds whether to enable multicast DNS support on this interface. When enabled, the device can be accessed via System.hostname.local in the network. See Multicast DNS and RFC 6762 for details.

› Type:	Boolean
› Default:	`false`
› Signal:	multicastDNSChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

multicastDNSItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the multicastDNS property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

ntp¶

This property holds a list of NTP servers which should be used for synchronizing the system clock of the device. Multiple server addresses can be specified (IPv4/IPv6 addresses and resolvable hostnames allowed) and separated by space.

› Type:	String
› Signal:	ntpChanged()
› Attributes:	Writable

ntpItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the ntp property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

vlan¶

This property holds the name of a VLAN to create on this interface.

› Attributes:	Writable

vlanItem¶

This property holds an internal ConfigurationItem instance for the vlan property.

› Type:	ConfigurationItem
› Attributes:	Readonly

Enumerations¶

Index¶

This enumeration describes indexes for all supported wireless network interfaces.

Name	Value	Description
`WiredNetworkInterface.EthernetNone`	`0`	The object does not represent a valid wired network interface.
`WiredNetworkInterface.Ethernet1`	`1`	The object represents the first wired network interface.
`WiredNetworkInterface.Ethernet2`	`2`	The object represents the second wired network interface.

Mode¶

This enumeration describes all supported configuration modes for a wired network interface.

Name	Value	Description
`WiredNetworkInterface.ModeNone`	`0`	Do not configure, i.e. disable the network interface.
`WiredNetworkInterface.ModeStatic`	`1`	Configure one or multiple static addresses and servers.
`WiredNetworkInterface.ModeDHCP`	`2`	Configure the interface automatically via DHCP and IPv6 Router Advertisements.

Example¶
