Worked on the systemd/systemd repository to deliver MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) support for bridge ports within systemd-network. This feature enables dynamic host unlocking based on MAC addresses, introducing new configuration options and netlink policies to control MAB behavior. The implementation, written in C and leveraging Linux kernel interfaces, ensures that port learning remains active while disabling bridge link-local learning to prevent unintended unlocks or leakage. By focusing on network configuration and systemd integration, the work addressed both security and operational requirements, resulting in a targeted, well-scoped enhancement that aligns with modern network management practices and kernel-level interface standards.
2025-01 monthly summary for systemd/systemd. Key feature delivered: MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) support for bridge ports in systemd-network. This adds MAB capabilities on bridge ports, with configurable options and netlink policies to enable MAB and dynamic host unlocking by MAC address. The implementation ensures learning is enabled on the port while disabling bridge link-local learning to avoid leakage and false unlocks. The change is captured in a focused commit: network: bridge: add support for IFLA_BRPORT_MAB (08a26ecc4733a04fcd763cebd889da1c49672e0e).
