Comment 1 Jan Synacek 2016-03-18 08:15:16 UTC

The section is call 'DHCP', not 'DHCPServer'. Also, it doesn't have an "Address" option. Please, read systemd.network(5).

Comment 2 Sampson Fung 2016-03-18 08:39:32 UTC

Sorry, mistake in original report.

The whole content of my .network file is:

===
[Match]
Name=enp0s8

[Network]
Address=192.168.1.1/24
DHCPServer=yes

[DHCPServer]

===
Request to re-open.

Comment 3 Jan Synacek 2016-03-18 10:07:49 UTC

And again, [DHCPServer] is an invalid section, it should be [DHCP].

Comment 4 Pablo Rodriguez 2018-05-11 22:12:11 UTC

You probably have an earlier version of systemd
The [DHCPServer] section was introduced in 226 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/NEWS#L2866
