NAME
org.freedesktop.network1 - The D-Bus interface of systemd-networkd
INTRODUCTION
systemd-networkd.service(8) is a system service that manages and
configures network interfaces. This page describes the D-Bus interface.
THE MANAGER OBJECT
The service exposes the following interfaces on the Manager object on
the bus:
node /org/freedesktop/network1 {
interface org.freedesktop.network1.Manager {
methods:
ListLinks(out a(iso) links);
GetLinkByName(in s name,
out i ifindex,
out o path);
GetLinkByIndex(in i ifindex,
out s name,
out o path);
SetLinkNTP(in i ifindex,
in as servers);
SetLinkDNS(in i ifindex,
in a(iay) addresses);
SetLinkDNSEx(in i ifindex,
in a(iayqs) addresses);
SetLinkDomains(in i ifindex,
in a(sb) domains);
SetLinkDefaultRoute(in i ifindex,
in b enable);
SetLinkLLMNR(in i ifindex,
in s mode);
SetLinkMulticastDNS(in i ifindex,
in s mode);
SetLinkDNSOverTLS(in i ifindex,
in s mode);
SetLinkDNSSEC(in i ifindex,
in s mode);
SetLinkDNSSECNegativeTrustAnchors(in i ifindex,
in as names);
RevertLinkNTP(in i ifindex);
RevertLinkDNS(in i ifindex);
RenewLink(in i ifindex);
ForceRenewLink(in i ifindex);
ReconfigureLink(in i ifindex);
Reload();
DescribeLink(in i ifindex,
out s json);
Describe(out s json);
properties:
readonly s OperationalState = '...';
readonly s CarrierState = '...';
readonly s AddressState = '...';
readonly s IPv4AddressState = '...';
readonly s IPv6AddressState = '...';
readonly s OnlineState = '...';
@org.freedesktop.DBus.Property.EmitsChangedSignal("const")
readonly t NamespaceId = ...;
@org.freedesktop.DBus.Property.EmitsChangedSignal("false")
readonly u NamespaceNSID = ...;
};
interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer { ... };
interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable { ... };
interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties { ... };
};
Provides information about the manager.
Properties
NamespaceId contains the inode number of the network namespace that the
network service runs in. A client may compare this with the inode number
of its own network namespace to verify whether the service manages the
same network namespace.
NamespaceNSID contains the "nsid" identifier the kernel maintains for
the network namespace, if there's one assigned.
