    <title>Description</title>

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

    <para>Virtual Network Device files must have the extension
    <filename>.netdev</filename>; other extensions are ignored.
    Virtual network devices are created as soon as networkd is
    started. If a netdev with the specified name already exists,
    networkd will use that as-is rather than create its own. Note that
    the settings of the pre-existing netdev will not be changed by
    networkd.</para>

    <para>The <filename>.netdev</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>
    disables the configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>
