Re: NetworkManager and systemd-networkd/systemd-resolved



Hello,

on my notebook computer, I have a WLAN interface that is managed with
NetworkManager and a cable-bound network interface that gets its
static IP address by a systemd-networkd configuration file. But as of
course on a portable notebook the cable-bound network interface is not
always connected, it is a additionally also managed by NetworkManager.
Hostname resolution takes place through systemd-resolved, that is,
/etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link to
/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf .

This all works fine so far, but when the cable-bound interface is not
connected (that means, when NetworkManager de-activated the
connection), the nameservers defined for that connection in the
systemd-networkd configuration file are still in the active
systemd-resolved configuration, as can be seen in the file
/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf and in the output of "resolvectl
status". Though this is - at least in my case with maximum of three
nameservers - only a cosmetic problem, my goal is that the nameservers
defined for the cable-bound connection disappear from the active
systemd-resolved configuration when the cable is disconnected.

Is it possible to realize such a combination of NetworkManager and
systemd-networkd/systemd-resolved?


networkd-dispatcher can execute actions on network connection state changes, so can probably help to reach my goal, what I need now is a command to directly remove the DNS servers from systemd-resolved configuration or a command that de-activates a certain interface from systemd-networkd's point of view and thereby deletes the corresponding DNS servers from systemd-resolved configuration. The latter can be done by systemctl stop systemd-networkd, but only for a short time, because then, systemd-networkd is restarted automatically.
