The following options are understood:
-iINTERFACE[:MIN_OPERSTATE[:MAX_OPERSTATE]], --interface=INTERFACE[:MIN_OPERSTATE[:MAX_OPERSTATE]]
Network interface to wait for before deciding if the system is online. This is useful when a system
has several interfaces which will be configured, but a particular one is necessary to access some
network resources. When used, all other interfaces are ignored. This option may be used more than
once to wait for multiple network interfaces. When this option is specified multiple times, then
systemd-networkd-wait-online waits for all specified interfaces to be online. Optionally, required
minimum and maximum operational states can be specified after a colon ":". Please see networkctl(1)
for possible operational states. If the operational state is not specified here, then the value from
RequiredForOnline= in the corresponding .network file is used if present, and "degraded" otherwise.
Added in version 213.
--ignore=INTERFACE
Network interfaces to be ignored when deciding if the system is online. By default, only the loopback
interface is ignored. This option may be used more than once to ignore multiple network interfaces.
Added in version 219.
-oMIN_OPERSTATE[:MAX_OPERSTATE], --operational-state=MIN_OPERSTATE[:MAX_OPERSTATE]
Takes a minimum operational state and an optional maximum operational state. Please see networkctl(1)
for possible operational states. If set, the specified value overrides RequiredForOnline= settings in
.network files. But this does not override operational states specified in --interface= option.
Added in version 242.
-4, --ipv4
Waiting for an IPv4 address of each network interface to be configured. If this option is specified
with --any, then systemd-networkd-wait-online exits with success when at least one interface becomes
online and has an IPv4 address. If the required minimum operational state is below "routable", then
each link (or at least one link with --any) must have an IPv4 link-local or routable address. If the
required minimum operational state is "routable", then each link must have an IPv4 routable address.
If neither --ipv4 nor --ipv6 is specified, then the value from RequiredFamilyForOnline= in the
corresponding .network file is used if present.
Added in version 249.
-6, --ipv6
Waiting for an IPv6 address of each network interface to be configured. If this option is specified
with --any, then systemd-networkd-wait-online exits with success when at least one interface becomes
online and has an IPv6 address. If the required minimum operational state is below "routable", then
each link (or at least one link with --any) must have an IPv6 link-local or routable address. If the
required minimum operational state is "routable", then each link must have an IPv6 routable address.
If neither --ipv4 nor --ipv6 is specified, then the value from RequiredFamilyForOnline= in the
corresponding .network file is used if present.
Added in version 249.
--dns
Waiting for DNS servers to be accessible on each interface. If this option is specified with --any,
then systemd-networkd-wait-online exits with success when at least one interface becomes online and
has an accessible DNS server.
If a link has the property DefaultRoute=yes (either because the DNSDefaultRoute= network property is
explicitly configured, or because the link does not have any "routing-only" domains), or if the
search domain "." is configured, then wait for link-specific DNS servers to be accessible. Otherwise,
allow global DNS servers to satisfy the condition.
Added in version 258.
--any
Even if several interfaces are in configuring state, systemd-networkd-wait-online exits with success
when at least one interface becomes online. When this option is specified with --interface=, then
systemd-networkd-wait-online waits for one of the specified interfaces to be online. This option is
useful when some interfaces may not have carrier on boot.
Added in version 242.
--timeout=SECS
Fail the service if the network is not online by the time the timeout elapses. A timeout of 0
disables the timeout. Defaults to 120 seconds.
Added in version 219.
-q, --quiet
Suppress log messages.
Added in version 242.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
