30 <para>Network setup is performed by
31 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
32 </para>
33
34 <para>The main Virtual Network Device file must have the extension <filename>.netdev</filename>;
35 other extensions are ignored. Virtual network devices are created as soon as networkd is
36 started. If a netdev with the specified name already exists, networkd will use that as-is rather
37 than create its own. Note that the settings of the pre-existing netdev will not be changed by
38 networkd.</para>
39
40 <para>The <filename>.netdev</filename> files are read from the files located in the system
41 network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>, the volatile runtime network
42 directory <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration network
43 directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. All configuration files are collectively
44 sorted and processed in lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live.
45 However, files with identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
46 have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with
47 the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied
48 configuration file with a local file if needed. As a special case, an empty file (file size 0)
49 or symlink with the same name pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename> disables the
50 configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>
51
52 <para>Along with the netdev file <filename>foo.netdev</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
53 <filename>foo.netdev.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal>
54 from this directory will be parsed after the file itself is parsed. This is useful to alter or
55 add configuration settings, without having to modify the main configuration file. Each drop-in
56 file must have appropriate section headers.</para>
57
58 <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
59 directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> or
60 <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> directories. Drop-in files in
61 <filename>/etc</filename> take precedence over those in <filename>/run</filename> which in turn
62 take precedence over those in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these
63 directories take precedence over the main netdev file wherever located. (Of course, since
64 <filename>/run</filename> is temporary and <filename>/usr/lib</filename> is for vendors, it is
65 unlikely drop-ins should be used in either of those places.)</para>

1506 to send an authenticated empty packet to the peer for the purpose
1507 of keeping a stateful firewall or NAT mapping valid persistently.
1508 For example, if the interface very rarely sends traffic, but it
1509 might at anytime receive traffic from a peer, and it is behind NAT,
1510 the interface might benefit from having a persistent keepalive
1511 interval of 25 seconds. If set to 0 or "off", this option is
1512 disabled. By default or when unspecified, this option is off.

1752 a peer notification is sent on the bonding device and each
1753 VLAN sub-device. This is repeated at each link monitor interval
1754 (ARPIntervalSec or MIIMonitorSec, whichever is active) if the number is

1766 duplicate frames (received on inactive ports), which is desirable for
1767 most users. But there are some times it is nice to allow duplicate
