    <title>Description</title>

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

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

    <para>Along with the network file <filename>foo.network</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
    <filename>foo.network.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>

    <para>Note that an interface without any static IPv6 addresses configured, and neither DHCPv6
    nor IPv6LL enabled, shall be considered to have no IPv6 support. IPv6 will be automatically
    disabled for that interface by writing "1" to
    <filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<replaceable>ifname</replaceable>/disable_ipv6</filename>.
    </para>
  </refsect1>

    <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>

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

    <para> The <literal>[Link]</literal> section accepts the following keys:</para>

    <variablelist class='network-directives'>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>MACAddress=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>The hardware address to set for the device.</para>

      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>MTUBytes=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>The maximum transmission unit in bytes to set for the
          device. The usual suffixes K, M, G, are supported and are
          understood to the base of 1024.</para>
          <para>Note that if IPv6 is enabled on the interface, and the MTU is chosen
          below 1280 (the minimum MTU for IPv6) it will automatically be increased to this value.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>ARP=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para> A boolean. Enables or disables the ARP (low-level Address Resolution Protocol)
          for this interface. Defaults to unset, which means that the kernel default will be used.</para>
          <para> For example, disabling ARP is useful when creating multiple MACVLAN or VLAN virtual
          interfaces atop a single lower-level physical interface, which will then only serve as a
          link/"bridge" device aggregating traffic to the same physical link and not participate in
          the network otherwise.</para>

      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>Unmanaged=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>A boolean. When <literal>yes</literal>, no attempts are
          made to bring up or configure matching links, equivalent to
          when there are no matching network files. Defaults to
          <literal>no</literal>.</para>
          <para>This is useful for preventing later matching network
          files from interfering with certain interfaces that are fully
          controlled by other applications.</para>
        </listitem>

            <literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>,
            <literal>ipv4</literal>, or <literal>ipv6</literal>. Defaults
            to <literal>no</literal>.</para>

            <para>Note that DHCPv6 will by default be triggered by Router
            Advertisement, if that is enabled, regardless of this parameter.
            By enabling DHCPv6 support explicitly, the DHCPv6 client will
            be started regardless of the presence of routers on the link,
            or what flags the routers pass. See
            <literal>IPv6AcceptRA=</literal>.</para>

            <para>Furthermore, note that by default the domain name
            specified through DHCP is not used for name resolution.
            See option <option>UseDomains=</option> below.</para>

            <para>See the <literal>[DHCP]</literal> section below for further configuration options for the DHCP client

            <para>A boolean. When true, sets up the route needed for

            the token is only ever used for SLAAC, and not for DHCPv6 addresses, even
            in the case DHCP is requested by router advertisement. By default, the

            emission is only available on Ethernet links. Note that this setting passes data suitable for
            identification of host to the network and should thus not be enabled on untrusted networks, where such
            identification data should not be made available. Use this option to permit other systems to identify on
            which interfaces they are connected to this system. The three special values control propagation of the
            LLDP packets. The <literal>nearest-bridge</literal> setting permits propagation only to the nearest
            connected bridge, <literal>non-tpmr-bridge</literal> permits propagation across Two-Port MAC Relays, but
            not any other bridges, and <literal>customer-bridge</literal> permits propagation until a customer bridge

            are first used as search suffixes for extending single-label host names (host names containing no dots) to
            become fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). If a single-label host name is resolved on this interface,
            each of the specified search domains are appended to it in turn, converting it into a fully qualified

            <para>Both "search" and "routing-only" domains are used for routing of DNS queries: look-ups for host names
