On initial boot when networking is brought up by cloud-init this is the timeout that dhclient adheres to. Centos configures "timeout 300" (for an EC2 bug) in their cloud image, which results in a 5 minutes delay to boot in cases where no dhcp available (e.g. IPv6 SLAAC). To reduce this boot delay and to provide consistency with places where we have set other dhcp timeouts set this to DIB_DHCP_TIMEOUT.

dhcp-all-interfaces
|
|
===================
|
|
Autodetect network interfaces during boot and configure them for DHCP
|
|
|
|
The rationale for this is that we are likely to require multiple
|
|
network interfaces for use cases such as baremetal and there is no way
|
|
to know ahead of time which one is which, so we will simply run a
|
|
DHCP client on all interfaces with real MAC addresses (except lo) that
|
|
are visible on the first boot.
|
|
|
|
On non-Gentoo based distributions the script
|
|
/usr/local/sbin/dhcp-all-interfaces.sh will be called early in each
|
|
boot and will scan available network interfaces and ensure they are
|
|
configured properly before networking services are started.
|
|
|
|
On Gentoo based distributions we will install the dhcpcd package and
|
|
ensure the service starts at boot. This service automatically sets
|
|
up all interfaces found via dhcp and/or dhcpv6 (or SLAAC).

DIB_DHCP_TIMEOUT
|
|
:Required: No
|
|
:Default: 30
|
|
:Description: Amount of time in seconds that the systemd service(or dhclient)
|
|
will wait to get an address. Should be increased in networks such as
|
|
Infiniband.

:Example: DIB_DHCP_TIMEOUT=300
