NAME

       ifupdown-ng.conf - Global configuration file for ifupdown-ng

DESCRIPTION

       ifupdown-ng allows to configure some parts of it's behaviour via global configuration options.

GENERAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       allow_addon_scripts bool
           Enable  support  for /etc/if-X.d addon scripts.  These are used for compatibility with legacy setups,
           and may be disabled for performance improvements in setups where only ifupdown-ng executors are used.
           Valid values are 0 and 1, the default is 1.

       auto_executor_selection bool
           Automatically determine which executors to  use.   At  present,  this  is  done  by  inserting  `use`
           statements  for the namespace a config option has.  The namespace is separated from the config option
           with a dash (`-`).  Valid values are 0 and 1, the default is 1.

       use_hostname_for_dhcp bool
           Automatically learn the hostname property,  used  for  DHCP  configuration  by  querying  the  system
           hostname  using  uname(2).  This  is basically equivalent to `hostname $(hostname)` without having to
           specify any configuration.  Valid values are 0 and 1, the default is 1.

TEMPLATE RELATED OPTIONS

       allow_any_iface_as_template bool
           Enable any interface to act as a template for another interface. This is presently the  default,  but
           is  deprecated.   An  admin  may  choose to disable this setting in order to require inheritance from
           specified templates.  Valid values are 0 and 1, the default is 1.

       implicit_template_conversion bool
           In some legacy configs, a template may  be  declared  as  an  iface,  and  ifupdown-ng  automatically
           converts  those  declarations  to  a  proper template.  If this setting is disabled, inheritance will
           continue to work against non-template interfaces without converting them to a template.  Valid values
           are 0 and 1, the default is 1.

COMPATIBILITY RELATED OPTIONS

       compat_create_interfaces bool
           Denotes where or not to create interfaces when compat_* settings are active and it would be necessary
           to create an interface to be fully compliant.  This could happen when inheriting bridge VLAN settings
           to an interface within a bridges bridge-ports setting but no interface stanza is found.  Valid values
           are 0 and 1, the default is 1.

       compat_ifupdown2_bridge_ports_inherit_vlans bool
           In ifupdown2 <bridge-vids> as well as the <bridge-pvid> set on a bridge interface will  be  inherited
           by  all  member ports if not set explicitly.  When set to 1 ifupdown-ng behaves the same way and will
           internally copy both options from the bridge member ports if they are not set  on  the  member  port.
           Valid values are 0 and 1, the default is 1.
