<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.</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>
<para > A virtual network device is only created if the

environment, or if the section is empty. The following keys are accepted:</para>
