Bug 86947

1) I'm not following. Could you paste the .network file (or equivalent ip(8) script) you would like to use, but which does not work? The code you link to is only about the auto-discovered link-local addresses, where you always will have both a route and an address...

2) Hm, not quite following this either. How do you want to specify link-local addresses? There is no restriction stopping you from using Address=169.254.<...>, but I guess this is not what you want. What do you mean by 'link-local addresses aren't correctly detected'? There is no way IPv4LL assignment can fail (unless there is a bug), but, again, I suppose you have something else in mind? Is the IPv4LLRoute= option related to this?

1) here's the end goal I'm trying to get:
core@coreos ~ $ netstat -rn

core@coreos ~ $ ip addr show dev eth0

    inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fe9a:a610/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

note that there's no ip on the interface.  On a side note, I don't care all that much about whether or not there's an IP on the int...  but the issue is that systemd doesn't automatically discover link-local addresses, and adding IPv4LL=true doesn't change the fact that I don't get a link-local addy on the interface.

Here's how I was trying to add it:
write_files:
  - path: /etc/systemd/network/00-eth0.network
    owner: root:root
    permissions: 0644
    content: |
      [Match]
      Name=eth*
       
      [Network]
      IPv4LL=true
      IPv4LLRoute=true
      DHCP=v4
      
      [DHCP]
      UseRoutes=false

I tried a few different versions of this.  no matter what I do, link-local addresses never show up unless I statically configure the IP.

2) see #1 - IPv4LL assignment is failing both with and without the IPv4LLRoute=true attribute turned on.
Note that this is with the latest coreos alpha, which is on 216 I believe.

another little note on this from my conversation with the coreos devs - see this gist and the comment below it:

and, more debugging that I did, including log files and systemd configs that I tried:

Please use GatewayOnLink=yes.
