companies talk about how confidential compute is essential for their security. meanwhile, more often than not, the same companies are piping all data relating to their service through a transparent CDN like cloudflare. SSL added and removed here! 🙃

if we run ifquery(8) to view the compiled configuration for eth2, we can confirm that no-defaults inhibits the inheritance of default settings.

if we run ifquery(8) to view the compiled configuration for eth2, we can confirm that no-defaults inhibits the inheritance of default settings.
that is all well and good, but what if we want to opt-out an interface from using interface defaults? well, we can use the no-defaults keyword when defining it.
to demonstrate, we add a new interface to the configuration example above:

the cool thing is that you can actually mix the two. for example, say you want to organize a set of default templates around concerns. that's totally doable:

interface defaults flip the notion of inheritance: instead of requiring users to specify `inherit ...` on each interface, there is a global template that all interfaces inherit from upon initialization.
so our config example becomes more like this:

this works well enough! we can use ifquery(8) to show how that configuration is compiled into (somewhat noisy) intermediate state inside the ifupdown-ng engine:

as a very simplified example... say you have a machine which is multihomed, and you use a tool like alpine's pingu(8) to switch between interfaces depending on which one is up.
today, your interfaces file may look something like this, using ifupdown-ng's inheritance system to inject config data:
