Hello,

no, the IP is fixed.

I want to bring the interface down to reduce power usage. This machine has some special job where the LAN interface is only needed for about one minute a day.

The idea is to enable the interface, start the software which does some network interaction and after that disable the interface again.

Regards,

Manuel

Manuel,

Just a short question:
Is the interface you are talking about it configured
to be a DHCP client ?  (if it is so, it can be related to
networkd DHCP implementation, which may be configured/changed)

What do you mean by stopping networkd, can you elaborate a bit about what you 
want to achieve?

If you want to stop the service, simply run "systemctl stop
systemd-networkd".

The after that ifconfig command, it won't start.

If you want to disable one network interface (let's say eth0), then go
to the proper configuration file under /etc/systemd/networkd and
comment/disable it, and restart the networkd service by:

systemctl restart systemd-networkd

well, that's a little unfortune compared to a setup not using systemd-networkd where you 
can *temporary* disable interfaces just with "ifdown lan4" without changing a 
configuration

the point is *temporary*, changing the config means it would be disabled at the 
next boot too, on a machine acting as router/switch temporary disable 
interfaces makes a lot of sense to disconnect a client from the network

Hello,

it seems to be impossible to just stop networkd (keeps starting itself again).

If I use "ifconfig" to turn off one NIC, then networkd immediately restarts it.

What do I have to do to gain back control over my network interfaces? I want to 
be able to turn off one interface.

Thanks in advance
