Title: Setting DuplicateAddressDetection=none doesn't disable DAD for link- local IPs Status in systemd: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: A customer reported network disconnections on their storage servers when running 'netplan apply'. The culprit was that they have link-local addresses configured and the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) mechanism was delaying the interfaces from coming back up. As a workaround we tried to disable DAD for the interfaces but that's not working in Ubuntu 22.04: I've noticed that setting DuplicateAddressDetection=none for an interface with a link-local address (e.g., 169.254.*) via a .network file added to /etc/systemd/network/ doesn't really disable Duplicate Address Detection. OS and package versions: ------------------------ - Description: Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish (development branch). Release: 22.04 - systemd 249.5-2ubuntu4 Reproducer: ----------- 1- Set up Ubuntu 22.04 VM 2- Increase systemlog level: mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service.d/ cat > /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service.d/10-debug.conf <<EOF [Service] Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug EOF systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart systemd-networkd 3- Configure a link-local address to a network interface on the VM: vi /etc/systemd/network/10-netplan-enp7s0.network # add [Match] Name=enp7s0 [Address] Address=169.254.240.10/24 DuplicateAddressDetection=ipv4 4- Restart services and apply systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart systemd-networkd && systemctl restart networkd-dispatcher.service netplan apply 5- Check if DAD is running (it should): journalctl -b -u systemd-networkd --no-pager -o short-precise | grep -i ACD 6- Set DuplicateAddressDetection=none in /etc/systemd/network/10-netplan-enp7s0.network 7- Restart services and apply as in step 4 8- Check if DAD is running as in step 5 (it shouldn't, but it's there) After step 7 DAD should be disabled as expected and it shouldn't be executed when running 'netplan apply' but it is actually executed. I think this commit [1] may be related (landed in systemd v249). I've also tested the out-of-the-box systemd versions for Focal and Impish but there I can effectively disable DAD. If the IPs are set to non-link local addresses then the problem is not observed anymore.
