This fixes some typos in the documentation, both grammar as well as
incorrect field names.
It also changes the casing of CheckSum to Checksum in L2TP to match
other casings.
- Also configures route to the gateway and prefix route in the specified
table, if necessary.
- Also set preferred source address of the route.
Closes#36168.
Since linux commit a35ec8e38cdd1766f29924ca391a01de20163931 ("bridge:
Add MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) support"), included since v6.2, it
is possible to enable MAC Authentication Bypass for bridge ports. In
this mode the locked port learns again, but the learned fdb entries are
locked, allowing user space to unlock hosts based seen MAC addresses.
This requires learning to be enabled on the port, and link-local
learning disabled for the bridge.
Add support to systemd-network for setting the new attribute for bridge
ports.
Since linux commit a21d9a670d81103db7f788de1a4a4a6e4b891a0b ("net:
bridge: Add support for bridge port in locked mode"), included since
v5.18, it is possible to set bridge ports to locked.
Locked ports do not learn automatically, and discard any traffic from
unknown source MACs. To allow traffic, the userspace authenticator is
expected to create fdb entries for authenticated hosts.
Add support to systemd-network for setting the new attribute for bridge
ports.
With the following, now preferred source address is set to the DHCP
address.

Before:
====
$ ip route show table 100 default

====
$ ip route show table 100 default

To avoid the assignment, this also introduces PreferredSource=no.
Typically, the same client identifier setting is used for all
interfaces. Hence, better to provide the system-wide setting to specify
the client identifier.
In the troff output, this doesn't seem to make any difference. But in the
html output, the whitespace is sometimes preserved, creating an additional
gap before the following content. Drop it everywhere to avoid this.
This option will control the use of DNR for choosing DNS servers on the
link. Defaults to the value of UseDNS so that in most cases they will be
toggled together.
After 3976c43092 (#31423), IPMasquerade=
implies only per-interface IP forwarding. That means, nspawn users need
to manually enable IPv4/IPv6Forwarding= in networkd.conf when
--network-veth or friend is used. Even the change was announced in NEWS,
the change itself breaks backward compatibility and extremely reduces
usability.
Let's make the setting imply the global setting again.
Fixes#34010.
Since we document /usr/local/lib/systemd/ and other paths for various things,
add notes that this is not supported if /usr/local is a separate partition. In
systemd.unit, I tried to add the footnote in the table where
/usr/local/lib/systemd/ is listed, but that get's rendered as '[sup]a[/sup]'
with a mangled footnote at the bottom of the table :( .
Also, split paragraphs in one place where the subject changes without any
transition.

It has been mentioned in IPv4Forwarding= and IPv6Forwarding=,
but let's also explain in the settings who imply these settings.

Like much English text, the systemd documentation uses "may not" in the
sense of both "will possibly not" and "is forbidden to". In many cases
this is OK because the context makes it clear, but in others I felt it
was possible to read the "is forbidden to" sense by mistake: in
particular, I tripped over "the target file may not exist" in
systemd.unit(5) before realizing the correct interpretation.
Use "might not" or "may choose not to" in these cases to make it clear
which sense we mean.
LinkLocalAddressing accepts a boolean. This can be seen by looking at
`link_local_address_family_from_strong(cont char *s)` in
`src/network/netword-util.c#L102-108` which falls back to
`address_family_from_string`, defined two lines above (L100)
using `DEFINE_STRING_TABLE_LOOKUP_WITH_BOOLEAN`.
Running both sd-ndisc and sd-radv should be mostly a misconfiguration,
but may not. So, let's only disable sd-ndisc by default when sd-radv is
enabled, but allow when both are explicitly requested.
