| <title>Description</title> |
| |
| <para>Network link configuration is performed by the |
| <command>net_setup_link</command> udev builtin.</para> |
| |
| <para>The link 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>. Link files must have |
| the extension <filename>.link</filename>; other extensions are |
| ignored. All link 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 link 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>The link file contains a [Match] section, which determines if a given link file may be applied to a |
| given device, as well as a [Link] section specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in |
| lexical order) of the link files that matches a given device is applied. Note that a default file |
| <filename>99-default.link</filename> is shipped by the system. Any user-supplied |
| <filename>.link</filename> should hence have a lexically earlier name to be considered at all.</para> |
| |
| <para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udevadm</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for |
| diagnosing problems with <filename>.link</filename> files.</para> |

| <title>[Match] Section Options</title> |
| |
| <para>A link file is said to match a device if all matches specified by the |
| <literal>[Match]</literal> section are satisfied. When a link file does not contain valid settings |
| in <literal>[Match]</literal> section, then the file will match all devices and |
| <command>systemd-udevd</command> warns about that. Hint: to avoid the warning and to make it clear |
| that all interfaces shall be matched, add the following: |
| <programlisting>OriginalName=*</programlisting> |
| The following keys are accepted:</para> |
| |
| <variablelist class='network-directives'> |
| <!-- This list is reused in systemd.network(3), hence maintain a specific order: |
| 1. device matches shared between the two lists |
| 2. non-shared settings |
| 3. host matches shared between the two lists |

| <varlistentry id='mac-address'> |
| <term><varname>MACAddress=</varname></term> |
| <listitem> |
| <para>A whitespace-separated list of hardware addresses. Use full colon-, hyphen- or dot-delimited hexadecimal. See the example below. |
| This option may appear more than once, in which case the lists are merged. If the empty string is assigned to this option, the list |

| <listitem> |
| <para>A whitespace-separated list of hardware's permanent addresses. While |
| <varname>MACAddress=</varname> matches the device's current MAC address, this matches the |
| device's permanent MAC address, which may be different from the current one. Use full |
| colon-, hyphen- or dot-delimited hexadecimal. This option may appear more than once, in |
| which case the lists are merged. If the empty string is assigned to this option, the list |

| <term><varname>Driver=</varname></term> |
| <listitem> |
| <para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the driver currently bound to the |
| device, as exposed by the udev property <varname>ID_NET_DRIVER</varname> of its parent device, or |
| if that is not set, the driver as exposed by <command>ethtool -i</command> of the device itself. |

| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry id='type'> |
| <term><varname>Type=</varname></term> |
| <listitem> |
| <para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the device type, as exposed by |

| </listitem> |
| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry id='property'> |
| <term><varname>Property=</varname></term> |
| <listitem> |
| <para>A whitespace-separated list of udev property name with its value after a equal |
| (<literal>=</literal>). If multiple properties are specified, the test results are ANDed. |
| If the list is prefixed with a "!", the test is inverted. If a value contains white |
| spaces, then please quote whole key and value pair. If a value contains quotation, then |
| please escape the quotation with <literal>\</literal>.</para> |
| |
| <para>Example: if a .link file has the following: |
| <programlisting>Property=ID_MODEL_ID=9999 "ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=vendor name" "KEY=with \"quotation\""</programlisting> |
| then, the .link file matches only when an interface has all the above three properties. |

| <para>Note that specifying a name that the kernel might use for another |

| <para><varname>NamePolicy=</varname> is not set, so <varname>Name=</varname> takes effect. We use the |
