    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Network setup is performed by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para>Network files must have the extension
    <filename>.network</filename>; other extensions are ignored.
    Networks are applied to links whenever the links appear.</para>

    <para>The <filename>.network</filename> 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>. All configuration 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 configuration 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>,
    disable the configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>

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

      <para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal>
      section, which determines if a given network file may be applied
      to a given device; and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section
      specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in
      lexical order) of the network files that matches a given device
      is applied, all later files are ignored, even if they match as
      well.</para>

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

            <para>If the specified address is 0.0.0.0 (for IPv4) or

            unused ranges. The allocated range is checked against all
            current network interfaces and all known network
            configuration files to avoid address range conflicts. The
            default system-wide pool consists of 192.168.0.0/16,
            172.16.0.0/12 and 10.0.0.0/8 for IPv4, and fc00::/7 for
            IPv6. This functionality is useful to manage a large
            number of dynamically created network interfaces with the
