## NAME
       systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, systemd-networkd-wait-online - Wait for network to come
       online

## SYNOPSIS
       systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online

## DESCRIPTION
       **systemd-networkd-wait-online** is a oneshot system service (see [**systemd.service**(5)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd.service/5/markdown)), that waits
       for the network to be configured. By default, it will wait for all links it is aware of and
       which are managed by [**systemd-networkd.service**(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd-networkd.service/8/markdown) to be fully configured or failed, and for at
       least one link to be online. Here, online means that the link's operational state is equal or
       higher than "degraded". The threshold can be configured by **--operational-state=** option.

## OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

### -i
       **--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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/networkctl/1/markdown) 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.

       **--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.

### -o --operational-state=
           Takes a minimum operational state and an optional maximum operational state. Please see
           [**networkctl**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/networkctl/1/markdown) 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.

### -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. The option is applied only for the
           operational state "degraded" or above. If neither **--ipv4** nor **--ipv6** is specified, then
           the value from _RequiredFamilyForOnline=_ in the corresponding .network file is used if
           present.

### -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. The option is applied only for the
           operational state "degraded" or above. If neither **--ipv4** nor **--ipv6** is specified, then
           the value from _RequiredFamilyForOnline=_ in the corresponding .network file is used if
           present.

### --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.

       **--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.

### -q --quiet
           Suppress log messages.

### -h --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

### --version
           Print a short version string and exit.
