In the troff output, this doesn't seem to make any difference. But in the html output, the whitespace is sometimes preserved, creating an additional gap before the following content. Drop it everywhere to avoid this.

|
||
|
||
<para>Network interfaces names and MAC addresses may be generated based on certain stable interface
|
||
attributes. This is possible when there is enough information about the device to generate those
|
||
attributes and the use of this information is configured. This page describes interface naming, i.e. what
|
||
possible names may be generated. Those names are generated by the
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
builtin <command>net_id</command> and exported as udev properties
|
||
(<varname>ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD=</varname>, <varname>ID_NET_LABEL_ONBOARD=</varname>,
|
||
<varname>ID_NET_NAME_PATH=</varname>, <varname>ID_NET_NAME_SLOT=</varname>).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Names and MAC addresses are derived from various stable device metadata attributes. Newer versions
|
||
of udev take more of these attributes into account, improving (and thus possibly changing) the names and
|
||
addresses used for the same devices. Different versions of those generation rules are called "naming
|
||
schemes". The default naming scheme is chosen at compilation time. Usually this will be the latest
|
||
implemented version, but it is also possible to set one of the older versions to preserve
|
||
compatibility. This may be useful for example for distributions, which may introduce new versions of
|
||
systemd in stable releases without changing the naming scheme. The naming scheme may also be overridden
|
||
using the <varname>net.naming_scheme=</varname> kernel command line switch, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
||
Available naming schemes are described below.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>After the udev properties have been generated, appropriate udev rules may be used to actually rename
|
||
devices based on those properties. See the description of <varname>NamePolicy=</varname> and
|
||
<varname>MACAddressPolicy=</varname> in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.link</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that while the concept of network interface naming schemes is primarily relevant in the
|
||
context of <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename>, the
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|

"<constant>n</constant><replaceable>phys_port_name</replaceable>" suffix to the device name.</para>
