    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Network link configuration is performed by the
    <command>net_setup_link</command> udev builtin.</para>

    <para>The link files are read from the files located in the system
    network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>,
    the volatile runtime network directory
    <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename>, and the local
    administration network directory
    <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. Link files must have
    the extension <filename>.link</filename>; other extensions are
    ignored. All link files are collectively sorted and processed in
    lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live.
    However, files with identical filenames replace each other. Files
    in <filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
    <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same
    name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to
    override a system-supplied link file with a local file if needed.
    As a special case, an empty file (file size 0) or symlink with the
    same name pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename> disables the
    configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>

    <para>The link file contains a [Match] section, which determines if a given link file may be applied to a
    given device, as well as a [Link] section specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in
    lexical order) of the link files that matches a given device is applied. Note that a default file
    <filename>99-default.link</filename> is shipped by the system. Any user-supplied
    <filename>.link</filename> should hence have a lexically earlier name to be considered at all.</para>

    <para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udevadm</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
    diagnosing problems with <filename>.link</filename> files.</para>

    <title>[Match] Section Options</title>

    <para>A link file is said to match a device if each of the entries in the [Match] section matches, or if
    the section is empty. The following keys are accepted:</para>

    <variablelist class='network-directives'>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>MACAddress=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>A whitespace-separated list of hardware addresses. Use full colon-, hyphen- or dot-delimited hexadecimal. See the example below.
          This option may appear more than once, in which case the lists are merged. If the empty string is assigned to this option, the list
          of hardware addresses defined prior to this is reset.</para>

          <para>The interface name to use. This option has lower precedence than
          <varname>NamePolicy=</varname>, so for this setting to take effect, <varname>NamePolicy=</varname>
          must either be unset, empty, disabled, or all policies configured there must fail. Also see the
          example below with <literal>Name=dmz0</literal>.</para>

          <para>Note that specifying a name that the kernel might use for another
          interface (for example <literal>eth0</literal>) is dangerous because the
          name assignment done by udev will race with the assignment done by the
          kernel, and only one interface may use the name. Depending on the order of
          operations, either udev or the kernel will win, making the naming
          unpredictable. It is best to use some different prefix, for example
          <literal>internal0</literal>/<literal>external0</literal> or
          <literal>lan0</literal>/<literal>lan1</literal>/<literal>lan3</literal>.

    <example>

      <para><varname>NamePolicy=</varname> is not set, so <varname>Name=</varname> takes effect. We use the
      <literal>10-</literal> prefix to order this file early in the list. Note that it needs to before

     <para>In this case, the interface was already renamed, so the <option>keep</option> policy specified as

     we might get the following instead:</para>
