systemd 226 is a small, yet important feature release that adds several new features to the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) implementation of the systemd-networkd component. Among these, we can mention support for emitting NTP (Network Time Protocol)and DNS (Domain Name System) information, as well as the ability to transmit and receive timezone information, and support for configuring lease timeouts via the ‘DefaultLeaseTimeSec=’ and ‘MaxLeaseTimeSec=’ options.
