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

    <para>The main Virtual Network Device file 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>

    <para>Along with the netdev file <filename>foo.netdev</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
    <filename>foo.netdev.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal>
    from this directory will be parsed after the file itself is parsed. This is useful to alter or
    add configuration settings, without having to modify the main configuration file. Each drop-in
    file must have appropriate section headers.</para>

    <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
    directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> or
    <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> directories. Drop-in files in
    <filename>/etc</filename> take precedence over those in <filename>/run</filename> which in turn
    take precedence over those in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these
    directories take precedence over the main netdev file wherever located. (Of course, since
    <filename>/run</filename> is temporary and <filename>/usr/lib</filename> is for vendors, it is
    unlikely drop-ins should be used in either of those places.)</para>

          The valid range is 0–255. Defaults to 1. A value of 0
          prevents the IGMP membership report from being issued in response
          to the failover event.

          random. The valid range is 0–65535. Defaults to 1. This option

          <para>Specify the number of peer notifications (gratuitous ARPs and
          unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements) to be issued after a
          failover event.  As soon as the link is up on the new slave,
          a peer notification is sent on the  bonding device and each
          VLAN sub-device.  This is repeated at each link monitor interval
          (ARPIntervalSec or MIIMonitorSec, whichever is active) if the number is
          greater than 1. The valid range is 0–255. The default value is 1.
          These options affect only the active-backup mode.

          should be dropped when false, or delivered when true. Normally, bonding will drop
          duplicate frames (received on inactive ports), which is desirable for
          most users. But there are some times it is nice to allow duplicate
          frames to be delivered. The default value is false (drop duplicate frames
          received on inactive ports).
