Controls Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution support (<ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4795">RFC 4794</ulink>) on the local host. If true, enables full LLMNR responder and resolver support. If false, disables both. If set to <literal>resolve</literal>, only resolution support is enabled, but responding is disabled. Note that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> also maintains per-interface LLMNR settings. LLMNR will be enabled on an interface only if the per-interface and the global setting is on.</para></listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry> <term><varname>DNSSEC=</varname></term> <listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument or <literal>allow-downgrade</literal>. If true all DNS lookups are DNSSEC-validated locally (excluding LLMNR and Multicast DNS). If a response for a lookup request is detected invalid this is returned as lookup failure to applications. Note that this mode requires a DNS server that supports DNSSEC. If the DNS server does not properly support DNSSEC all validations will fail. If set to <literal>allow-downgrade</literal> DNSSEC validation is attempted, but if the server does not support DNSSEC properly, DNSSEC mode is automatically disabled. Note that this mode makes DNSSEC validation vulnerable to "downgrade" attacks, where an attacker might be able to trigger a downgrade to non-DNSSEC mode by synthesizing a DNS response that suggests DNSSEC was not supported. If set to false, DNS lookups are not DNSSEC validated.</para> <para>Note that DNSSEC validation requires retrieval of additional DNS data, and thus results in a small DNS look-up time penalty.</para> <para>DNSSEC requires knowledge of "trust anchors" to prove data integrity. The trust anchor for the Internet root domain is built into the resolver, additional trust anchors may be defined with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dnssec-trust-anchors.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Trust anchors may change in regular intervals, and old trust anchors may be revoked. In such a case DNSSEC validation is not possible until new trust anchors are configured locally or the resolver software package is updated with the new root trust anchor. In effect, when the built-in trust anchor is revoked and <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> is true, all further lookups will fail, as it cannot be proved anymore whether lookups are correctly signed, or validly unsigned. If <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> is set to <literal>allow-downgrade</literal> the resolver will automatically turn off DNSSEC validation in such a case.</para> <para>Client programs looking up DNS data will be informed whether lookups could be verified using DNSSEC, or whether the returned data could not be verified (either because the data was found unsigned in the DNS, or the DNS server did not support DNSSEC or no appropriate trust anchors were known). In the latter case it is assumed that client programs employ a secondary scheme to validate the returned DNS data, should this be required.</para> <para>It is recommended to set <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> to true on systems where it is known that the DNS server supports DNSSEC correctly, and where software or trust anchor updates happen regularly. On other systems it is recommended to set <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> to <literal>allow-downgrade</literal>.</para> <para>In addition to this global DNSSEC setting <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> also maintains per-interface DNSSEC settings. For system DNS servers (see above), only the global DNSSEC setting is in effect. For per-interface DNS servers the per-interface setting is in effect, unless it is unset in which case the global setting is used instead.</para> <para>Site-private DNS zones generally conflict with DNSSEC operation, unless a negative (if the private zone is not signed) or positive (if the private zone is signed) trust anchor is configured for them. If <literal>allow-downgrade</literal> mode is selected, it is attempted to detect site-private DNS zones using top-level domains (TLDs) that are not known by the DNS root server. This logic does not work in all private zone setups.</para> <para>Defaults to off.</para> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> </refsect1> <refsect1> <title>See Also</title> <para> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dnssec-trust-anchors.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>resolv.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry> </para> </refsect1> </refentry>
