29 <title>Description</title>
30
31 <para>A plain ini-style text file that encodes network configuration for matching network interfaces,
32 used by
33 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
34 See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
35 for a general description of the syntax.</para>
36
37 <para>The main network file must have the extension <filename>.network</filename>; other
38 extensions are ignored. Networks are applied to links whenever the links appear.</para>
39
40 <para>The <filename>.network</filename> files are read from the files located in the system network
41 directories <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> and
42 <filename>/usr/local/lib/systemd/network</filename>, the volatile runtime network directory
43 <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration network directory
44 <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. All configuration files are collectively sorted and processed
45 in lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with identical
46 filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
47 <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same name under
48 <filename>/usr</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied configuration file with a local
49 file if needed. As a special case, an empty file (file size 0) or symlink with the same name pointing to
50 <filename>/dev/null</filename> disables the configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>
51
52 <para>Along with the network file <filename>foo.network</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
53 <filename>foo.network.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix
54 <literal>.conf</literal> from this directory will be parsed after the file itself is
55 parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration settings, without having to modify the main
56 configuration file. Each drop-in 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 network file wherever located.</para>
64
65 <para>Note that an interface without any static IPv6 addresses configured, and neither DHCPv6
66 nor IPv6LL enabled, shall be considered to have no IPv6 support. IPv6 will be automatically
67 disabled for that interface by writing "1" to
68 <filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<replaceable>ifname</replaceable>/disable_ipv6</filename>.

73 <title>[Match] Section Options</title>
74
75 <para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal>
76 section, which determines if a given network file may be applied
77 to a given device; and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section
78 specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in
79 lexical order) of the network files that matches a given device
80 is applied, all later files are ignored, even if they match as
81 well.</para>
82
83 <para>A network file is said to match a network interface if all matches specified by the
84 <literal>[Match]</literal> section are satisfied. When a network file does not contain valid
85 settings in <literal>[Match]</literal> section, then the file will match all interfaces and
86 <command>systemd-networkd</command> warns about that. Hint: to avoid the warning and to make it
87 clear that all interfaces shall be matched, add the following:
88 <programlisting>Name=*</programlisting>

313 <para>Specifies an optional address generation mode and a required IPv6 address. If
314 the mode is present, the two parts must be separated with a colon
315 <literal><replaceable>mode</replaceable>:<replaceable>address</replaceable></literal>. The
316 address generation mode may be either <constant>prefixstable</constant> or
317 <constant>static</constant>. If not specified, <constant>static</constant> is assumed.
318 </para>
319 <para>When the mode is set to <constant>static</constant>, or unspecified, the lower bits of
320 the supplied address are combined with the upper bits of a prefix received in a Router Advertisement
321 message to form a complete address. Note that if multiple prefixes are received in an RA message, or in
322 multiple RA messages, addresses will be formed from each of them using the supplied address. This
323 mode implements SLAAC but uses a static interface identifier instead of an identifier generated
324 using the EUI-64 algorithm. Because the interface identifier is static, if Duplicate Address Detection
325 detects that the computed address is a duplicate (in use by another node on the link), then this
326 mode will fail to provide an address for that prefix.
327 </para>
328 <para>When the mode is set to <literal>prefixstable</literal> the RFC 7217 algorithm for generating
329 interface identifiers will be used, but only when a prefix received in an RA message matches the supplied address.
330 See <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7217">RFC 7217</ulink>. Prefix matching will be attempted
331 against each <constant>prefixstable</constant> IPv6Token variable provided in the configuration; if a received
332 prefix does not match any of the provided addresses, then the EUI-64 algorithm will be used to form
333 an interface identifier for that prefix. This mode is also SLAAC, but with a potentially stable interface
334 identifier which does not directly map to the interface's hardware address.
335
336 Note that the <constant>prefixstable</constant> algorithm includes both the interface's name and
337 MAC address in the hash used to compute the interface identifier, so if either of those are changed the resulting
338 interface identifier (and address) will change, even if the prefix received in the RA message has not changed.
339
340 Note that if multiple <constant>prefixstable</constant> IPv6Token variables are supplied with addresses that
341 match a prefix received in an RA message, only the first one will be used to generate addresses.

448 emission is only available on Ethernet links. Note that this setting passes data suitable for
449 identification of host to the network and should thus not be enabled on untrusted networks, where such
450 identification data should not be made available. Use this option to permit other systems to identify on
451 which interfaces they are connected to this system. The three special values control propagation of the
452 LLDP packets. The <literal>nearest-bridge</literal> setting permits propagation only to the nearest
453 connected bridge, <literal>non-tpmr-bridge</literal> permits propagation across Two-Port MAC Relays, but
454 not any other bridges, and <literal>customer-bridge</literal> permits propagation until a customer bridge
455 is reached. For details about these concepts, see <ulink
456 url="https://standards.ieee.org/findstds/standard/802.1AB-2016.html">IEEE 802.1AB-2016</ulink>. Note that
457 configuring this setting to true is equivalent to <literal>nearest-bridge</literal>, the recommended and

487 IPv4, and 64 for IPv6. The allocated range is checked against all current network interfaces and
488 all known network configuration files to avoid address range conflicts. The default system-wide
489 pool consists of 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12 and 10.0.0.0/8 for IPv4, and fd00::/8 for IPv6.

519 <para>A whitespace-separated list of domains which should be resolved using the DNS servers on

521 (<literal>~</literal>). The domains with the prefix are called "routing-only domains". The
522 domains without the prefix are called "search domains" and are first used as search suffixes for
523 extending single-label host names (host names containing no dots) to become fully qualified
524 domain names (FQDNs). If a single-label host name is resolved on this interface, each of the

526 name, until one of them may be successfully resolved.</para>

528 <para>Both "search" and "routing-only" domains are used for routing of DNS queries: look-ups for host names
529 ending in those domains (hence also single label names, if any "search domains" are listed), are routed to
