From 072f9e4af4cf465aca6e263f4dfd6e07786786d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:04:57 -0400 Subject: networkd: turn UnicastFlood on by default Looking at the kernel commit, "on" seems to be the default value: commit 867a59436fc35593ae0e0efcd56cc6d2f8506586 Author: Vlad Yasevich Date: Wed Jun 5 10:08:01 2013 -0400 bridge: Add a flag to control unicast packet flood. Add a flag to control flood of unicast traffic. By default, flood is on and the bridge will flood unicast traffic if it doesn't know the destination. When the flag is turned off, unicast traffic without an FDB will not be forwarded to the specified port. ... and it seems to be the reasonable thing to do by default. --- man/systemd.network.xml | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'man/systemd.network.xml') diff --git a/man/systemd.network.xml b/man/systemd.network.xml index 0dab96d127..196e57dd57 100644 --- a/man/systemd.network.xml +++ b/man/systemd.network.xml @@ -672,8 +672,9 @@ UnicastFlood= - A boolean.
