<title>Description</title>
<para>Network setup is performed by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>Virtual Network Device files 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; 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>

<listitem>
<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). Default value is 1.
These options affect only the active-backup mode.

<term><varname>AllSlavesActive=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para> A boolean. Specifies that duplicate frames (received on inactive ports)
should be dropped false or delivered 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).

<listitem>

asserting carrier. The default value is 0.
