<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>

<listitem>
<para>The hardware address to set for the device.</para>
</listitem>
</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>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>QueryReceiveSideScaling=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Takes a boolean. Toggle the ability of querying the receive side scaling (RSS)
configuration of the virtual function (VF). The VF RSS information like RSS hash key may be
considered sensitive on some devices where this information is shared between VF and the
physical function (PF). When unset, the kernel's default will be used.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Trust=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Takes a boolean. Allows to set trust mode of the virtual function (VF). When set, VF
users can set a specific feature which may impact security and/or performance. When unset,
the kernel's default will be used.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>LinkState=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Allows to set the link state of the virtual function (VF). Takes a boolean or a
special value <literal>auto</literal>. Setting to <literal>auto</literal> means a
reflection of the physical function (PF) link state, <literal>yes</literal> lets the VF to
communicate with other VFs on this host even if the PF link state is down,
<literal>no</literal> causes the hardware to drop any packets sent by the VF. When unset,
the kernel's default will be used.</para>

<term><varname>DHCP=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Enables DHCPv4 and/or DHCPv6 client support. Accepts
<literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>,
<literal>ipv4</literal>, or <literal>ipv6</literal>. Defaults
to <literal>no</literal>.</para>
<para>Note that DHCPv6 will by default be triggered by Router
Advertisement, if that is enabled, regardless of this parameter.
By enabling DHCPv6 support explicitly, the DHCPv6 client will
be started regardless of the presence of routers on the link,
or what flags the routers pass. See
<literal>IPv6AcceptRA=</literal>.</para>
<para>Furthermore, note that by default the domain name
specified through DHCP is not used for name resolution.
See option <option>UseDomains=</option> below.</para>
<para>See the [DHCPv4] or [DHCPv6] sections below for further configuration options for the DHCP

<literal>fallback</literal>, or <literal>ipv4-fallback</literal>. If
<literal>fallback</literal> or <literal>ipv4-fallback</literal> is specified, then an IPv4
link-local address is configured only when DHCPv4 fails. If <literal>fallback</literal>,
an IPv6 link-local address is always configured, and if <literal>ipv4-fallback</literal>,
the address is not configured. Note that, the fallback mechanism works only when DHCPv4
client is enabled, that is, it requires <literal>DHCP=yes</literal> or
<literal>DHCP=ipv4</literal>. If <varname>Bridge=</varname> is set, defaults to

<term><varname>IPv4LLRoute=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Takes a boolean. If set to true, sets up the route needed for
non-IPv4LL hosts to communicate with IPv4LL-only hosts. Defaults
to false.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DefaultRouteOnDevice=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Takes a boolean. If set to true, sets up the default route bound to the interface.
Defaults to false. This is useful when creating routes on point-to-point interfaces.
This is equivalent to e.g. the following.
<programlisting>ip route add default dev veth99</programlisting></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>IPv6Token=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies an optional address generation mode and a required IPv6 address. If
the mode is present, the two parts must be separated with a colon
<literal><replaceable>mode</replaceable>:<replaceable>address</replaceable></literal>. The
address generation mode may be either <constant>prefixstable</constant> or
<constant>static</constant>. If not specified, <constant>static</constant> is assumed.
</para>
<para>When the mode is set to <constant>static</constant>, or unspecified, the lower bits of
the supplied address are combined with the upper bits of a prefix received in a Router Advertisement
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
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.
</para>
<para>When the mode is set to <literal>prefixstable</literal> the RFC 7217 algorithm for generating
interface identifiers will be used, but only when a prefix received in an RA message matches the supplied address.
See <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7217">RFC 7217</ulink>. Prefix matching will be attempted
against each <constant>prefixstable</constant> IPv6Token variable provided in the configuration; if a received
prefix does not match any of the provided addresses, 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.
Note that the <constant>prefixstable</constant> algorithm includes both the interface's name and
MAC address in the hash used 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.
Note that if multiple <constant>prefixstable</constant> IPv6Token variables are supplied with addresses that
match a prefix received in an RA message, only the first one will be used to generate addresses.

<listitem>
<para>Controls support for Ethernet LLDP packet emission. Accepts a boolean parameter or the special values
<literal>nearest-bridge</literal>, <literal>non-tpmr-bridge</literal> and
<literal>customer-bridge</literal>. Defaults to false, which turns off LLDP packet emission. If not false,
a short LLDP packet with information about the local system is sent out in regular intervals on the
link. The LLDP packet will contain information about the local hostname, the local machine ID (as stored
in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) and the
local interface name, as well as the pretty hostname of the system (as set in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-info</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>). LLDP
emission is only available on Ethernet links. Note that this setting passes data suitable for
identification of host to the network and should thus not be enabled on untrusted networks, where such
identification data should not be made available. Use this option to permit other systems to identify on
which interfaces they are connected to this system. The three special values control propagation of the
LLDP packets. The <literal>nearest-bridge</literal> setting permits propagation only to the nearest
connected bridge, <literal>non-tpmr-bridge</literal> permits propagation across Two-Port MAC Relays, but
not any other bridges, and <literal>customer-bridge</literal> permits propagation until a customer bridge
is reached. For details about these concepts, see <ulink

configuring this setting to true is equivalent to <literal>nearest-bridge</literal>, the recommended and

<para>If the specified address is <literal>0.0.0.0</literal> (for IPv4) or <literal>::</literal>
(for IPv6), a new address range of the requested size is automatically allocated from a
system-wide pool of unused ranges. Note that the prefix length must be equal or larger than 8 for
IPv4, and 64 for IPv6. The allocated range is checked against all current network interfaces and
all known network configuration files to avoid address range conflicts. The default system-wide
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.
This functionality is useful to manage a large number of dynamically created network interfaces
with the same network configuration and automatic address range assignment.</para>

<term><varname>Domains=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of domains which should be resolved using the DNS servers on
this link. Each item in the list should be a domain name, optionally prefixed with a tilde
(<literal>~</literal>). The domains with the prefix are called "routing-only domains". The
domains without the prefix are called "search domains" and are first used as search suffixes for
extending single-label hostnames (hostnames containing no dots) to become fully qualified
domain names (FQDNs). If a single-label hostname is resolved on this interface, each of the
specified search domains are appended to it in turn, converting it into a fully qualified domain
name, until one of them may be successfully resolved.</para>
<para>Both "search" and "routing-only" domains are used for routing of DNS queries: look-ups for hostnames
ending in those domains (hence also single label names, if any "search domains" are listed), are routed to
the DNS servers configured for this interface. The domain routing logic is particularly useful on
multi-homed hosts with DNS servers serving particular private DNS zones on each interface.</para>
<para>The "routing-only" domain <literal>~.</literal> (the tilde indicating definition of a routing domain,
the dot referring to the DNS root domain which is the implied suffix of all valid DNS names) has special
effect. It causes all DNS traffic which does not match another configured domain routing entry to be routed
to DNS servers specified for this interface. This setting is useful to prefer a certain set of DNS servers
if a link on which they are connected is available.</para>

take uplink interfaces into account that acquire DNS server information at a later point. If no
suitable uplinkg interface is found the DNS server data from <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> is
