<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>/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>
<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.</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>
