    <title>Description</title>

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

    <para>Network files 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>&rootlibexecdir;/network</filename>, the volatile
    runtime network directory
    <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local
    administration network directory
    <filename>&pkgsysconfdir;/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; a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name
    as a configuration file in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing
    to <filename>/dev/null</filename>, disables the configuration file
    entirely.</para>

  </refsect1>

  <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>
