55 | ||
56 | <para>Network link configuration is performed by the <literal>net_setup_link</literal> | |
57 | udev builtin.</para> | |
58 | ||
59 | <para>The link files are read from the files located in the | |
60 | system network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>, | |
61 | the volatile runtime network directory <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> | |
62 | and the local administration network directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. | |
63 | Link files must have the extension <filename>.link</filename>; other extensions are ignored. | |
64 | All link files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order, | |
65 | regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with | |
66 | identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename> | |
67 | have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence | |
68 | over files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be | |
69 | used to override a system-supplied link file with a local file if needed; | |
70 | a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a link file in | |
71 | <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>, | |
72 | disables the link file entirely.</para> | |
73 | ||
74 | <para>The link file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal> section, which | |
75 | determines if a given link file may be applied to a given device; and a | |
76 | <literal>[Link]</literal> section specifying how the device should be | |
77 | configured. The first (in lexical order) of the link files that matches | |
78 | a given device is applied.</para> | |
79 | ||
80 | <para>A link file is said to match a device if each of the entries in the | |
81 | <literal>[Match]</literal> section matches, or if the section is empty. | |
82 | The following keys are accepted:</para> | |
