    <title>Description</title>

    <para>A plain ini-style text file that encodes network configuration for matching network interfaces,
    used by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for a general description of the syntax.</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
    directories <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> and
    <filename>/usr/local/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 under
    <filename>/usr/</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 network file wherever located.</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>

  <refsect1>
    <title>[Match] Section Options</title>

      <para>The network file contains a [Match] section, which determines if a given network file may be
      applied to a given device; and a [Network] 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 network interface if all matches specified by the [Match]
      section are satisfied. When a network file does not contain valid settings in [Match] section, then the
      file will match all interfaces and <command>systemd-networkd</command> warns about that. Hint: to avoid
      the warning and to make it clear that all interfaces shall be matched, add the following:
      <programlisting>Name=*</programlisting> The following keys are accepted:</para>

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

    <para> The [Link] 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>
        </listitem>
      </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>Takes a boolean. If set to true, the ARP (low-level Address Resolution Protocol)
          for this interface is enabled. When unset, the kernel's 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>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>Multicast=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>Takes a boolean. If set to true, the multicast flag on the device is enabled.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>AllMulticast=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>Takes a boolean. If set to true, the driver retrieves all multicast packets from the network.
          This happens when multicast routing is enabled.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>Unmanaged=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>Takes 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>
      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>Group=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>Link groups are similar to port ranges found in managed switches.
          When network interfaces are added to a numbered group, operations on
          all the interfaces from that group can be performed at once. An unsigned
          integer in the range 0—4294967294. Defaults to unset.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>RequiredForOnline=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>Takes a boolean or a minimum operational state and an optional maximum operational state.
          Please see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>networkctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
          for possible operational states. When <literal>yes</literal>, the network is deemed required when
          determining whether the system is online when running
          <command>systemd-networkd-wait-online</command>. When <literal>no</literal>, the network is ignored
          when checking for online state. When a minimum operational state and an optional maximum operational
          state are set, <literal>yes</literal> is implied, and this controls the minimum and maximum
          operational state required for the network interface to be considered online.
          Defaults to <literal>yes</literal>.</para>

          <para>The network will be brought up normally in all cases, but in
          the event that there is no address being assigned by DHCP or the
          cable is not plugged in, the link will simply remain offline and be
          skipped automatically by <command>systemd-networkd-wait-online</command>
          if <literal>RequiredForOnline=no</literal>.</para>

      <title>[SR-IOV] Section Options</title>
      <para>The [SR-IOV] section accepts the following keys. Specify several [SR-IOV] sections to configure
      several SR-IOVs. SR-IOV provides the ability to partition a single physical PCI resource into virtual
      PCI functions which can then be injected into a VM. In the case of network VFs, SR-IOV improves
      north-south network performance (that is, traffic with endpoints outside the host machine) by allowing
      traffic to bypass the host machine’s network stack.</para>

      <variablelist class='network-directives'>
        <varlistentry>
          <term><varname>VirtualFunction=</varname></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>Specifies a Virtual Function (VF), lightweight PCIe function designed solely to move data

            <para>Specifies an optional address generation mode for the Stateless Address
            Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). Supported modes are <literal>prefixstable</literal> and
            <literal>static</literal>.</para>

            <para>When the mode is set to <literal>static</literal>, an IPv6 address must be
            specified after a colon (<literal>:</literal>), and the lower bits of the supplied
            address are combined with the upper bits of a prefix received in a Router Advertisement
            (RA) message to form a complete address. Note that if multiple prefixes are received in an
            RA message, or in multiple RA messages, addresses will be formed from each of them using
            the supplied address. This mode implements SLAAC but uses a static interface identifier
            instead of an identifier generated by using the EUI-64 algorithm. Because the interface
            identifier is static, if Duplicate Address Detection detects that the computed address is a
            duplicate (in use by another node on the link), then this mode will fail to provide an
            address for that prefix. If an IPv6 address without mode is specified, then
            <literal>static</literal> mode is assumed.</para>

            <para>When the mode is set to <literal>prefixstable</literal> the
            <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7217">RFC 7217</ulink> algorithm for generating
            interface identifiers will be used. This mode can optionally take an IPv6 address separated
            with a colon (<literal>:</literal>). If an IPv6 address is specified, then an interface
            identifier is generated only when a prefix received in an RA message matches the supplied
            address.</para>

            <para>If no address generation mode is specified (which is the default), or a received
            prefix does not match any of the addresses provided in <literal>prefixstable</literal>
            mode, then the EUI-64 algorithm will be used to form an interface identifier for that
            prefix. This mode is also SLAAC, but with a potentially stable interface identifier which
            does not directly map to the interface's hardware address.</para>

            <para>Note that the <literal>prefixstable</literal> algorithm uses both the interface
            name and MAC address as input to the hash to compute the interface identifier, so if either
            of those are changed the resulting interface identifier (and address) will change, even if
            the prefix received in the RA message has not changed.</para>

            <para>This setting can be specified multiple times. If an empty string is assigned, then
