55 <title>Description</title>
56
57 <para>Network setup is performed by
58 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
59 </para>
60
61 <para>Network files must have the extension <filename>.network</filename>;
62 other extensions are ignored. Networks are applied to links whenever the links
63 appear.</para>
64
65 <para>The <filename>.network</filename> files are read from the files located in the
66 system network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>,
67 the volatile runtime network directory
68 <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration
69 network directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>.
70 All configuration files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
71 regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
72 identical filenames replace each other. Files in
73 <filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
74 <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same
75 name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a
76 system-supplied configuration file with a local file if needed; a symlink in
77 <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a configuration file in
78 <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
79 disables the configuration file entirely.</para>
80
81 <para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal> section,
82 which determines if a given network file may be applied to a given device;
83 and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section specifying how the device should
84 be configured. The first (in lexical order) of the network files that
85 matches a given device is applied.</para>
86
87 <para>A network file is said to match a device if each of the entries in the
88 <literal>[Match]</literal> section matches, or if the section is empty.
89 The following keys are accepted:</para>
