<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 alphanumeric order, regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files
with identical filenames replace each other. It is recommended that each filename is prefixed with
a number smaller than <literal>70</literal> (e.g. <filename>10-eth0.network</filename>). Otherwise, the
default <filename>.network</filename> files or those generated by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-network-generator.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
may take precedence over user configured files. 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 merged in the alphanumeric order and parsed
after the main file itself has been 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>

<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 interface; and a [Network] section specifying how the interface should be
configured. The first (in alphanumeric order) of the network files that matches a given interface
is applied, all later files are ignored, even if they match as well.</para>
<para>Note that any network interfaces that have the <varname>ID_NET_MANAGED_BY=</varname> udev property
set will never be matched by any .network files – unless the property's value is the string
<literal>io.systemd.Network</literal> – even if the [Match] section would otherwise match. This may be
used to exclude specific network interfaces from <command>systemd-networkd</command>'s management, while
keeping the [Match] section generic. The <varname>ID_NET_MANAGED_BY=</varname> property thus declares
intended <emphasis>ownership</emphasis> of the device, and permits ensuring that concurrent network
management implementations do not compete for management of specific devices.</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:

<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>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v218"/>
</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. Defaults to unset.</para>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>AllMulticast=</varname></term>

<para>If this is set to false for the underlying link of a <literal>passthru</literal> mode
MACVLAN/MACVTAP, the virtual interface will be created with the <literal>nopromisc</literal>
flag set.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v248"/>
</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>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v233"/>
</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. Takes an unsigned integer in the range 0…2147483647. Defaults to
unset.</para>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>RequiredForOnline=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Takes a boolean, a minimum operational state (e.g., <literal>carrier</literal>), or a range
of operational state separated with a colon (e.g., <literal>degraded:routable</literal>).
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 (including when running
<command>systemd-networkd-wait-online</command>). When <literal>no</literal>, the network is
ignored when determining the online state. When a minimum operational state and an optional
maximum operational state are set, <command>systemd-networkd-wait-online</command> deems that the
interface is online when the operational state is in the specified range.</para>
<para>Defaults to <literal>yes</literal> when <varname>ActivationPolicy=</varname> is not
set, or set to <literal>up</literal>, <literal>always-up</literal>, or
<literal>bound</literal>. Defaults to <literal>no</literal> when
<varname>ActivationPolicy=</varname> is set to <literal>manual</literal> or
<literal>down</literal>. This is forced to <literal>no</literal> when
<varname>ActivationPolicy=</varname> is set to <literal>always-down</literal>.</para>
<para>The network will be brought up normally (as configured by
<varname>ActivationPolicy=</varname>), 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

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ActivationPolicy=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies the policy for <command>systemd-networkd</command> managing the link
administrative state. Specifically, this controls how <command>systemd-networkd</command>
changes the network device's <literal>IFF_UP</literal> flag, which is sometimes
controlled by system administrators by running e.g.,
<command>ip link set dev eth0 up</command> or <command>ip link set dev eth0 down</command>,
and can also be changed with <command>networkctl up eth0</command> or
<command>networkctl down eth0</command>.</para>
<para>Takes one of <literal>up</literal>, <literal>always-up</literal>,
<literal>manual</literal>, <literal>always-down</literal>, <literal>down</literal>,
or <literal>bound</literal>. When <literal>manual</literal>,
<command>systemd-networkd</command> will not change the link's admin state automatically;
the system administrator must bring the interface up or down manually, as desired. When
<literal>up</literal> (the default) or <literal>always-up</literal>, or
<literal>down</literal> or <literal>always-down</literal>,
<command>systemd-networkd</command> will set the link up or down, respectively, when the
interface is (re)configured. When <literal>always-up</literal> or
<literal>always-down</literal>, <command>systemd-networkd</command> will set the link up or
down, respectively, any time <command>systemd-networkd</command> detects a change in the
administrative state. When <varname>BindCarrier=</varname> is also set, this is automatically
set to <literal>bound</literal> and any other value is ignored.</para>
<para>When the policy is set to <literal>down</literal> or <literal>manual</literal>, the
default value of <varname>RequiredForOnline=</varname> is <literal>no</literal>. When the
policy is set to <literal>always-down</literal>, the value of
<varname>RequiredForOnline=</varname> forced to <literal>no</literal>.</para>
<para>The administrative state is not the same as the carrier state, so using
<literal>always-up</literal> does not mean the link will never lose carrier. The link carrier
depends on both the administrative state as well as the network device's physical connection.
However, to avoid reconfiguration failures, when using <literal>always-up</literal>,
<varname>IgnoreCarrierLoss=</varname> is forced to true.</para>

<para>Controls support for Ethernet LLDP packet reception. LLDP is a link-layer protocol
commonly implemented on professional routers and bridges which announces which physical port
a system is connected to, as well as other related data. Accepts a boolean or the special

<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 url="https://standards.ieee.org/findstds/standard/802.1AB-2016.html">IEEE 802.1AB-2016</ulink>.
Note that configuring this setting to true is equivalent to
<literal>nearest-bridge</literal>, the recommended and most restricted level of propagation.

<para>A whitespace-separated list of domains which should be resolved using the DNS servers

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.

<term><varname>NetLabel=</varname><replaceable>label</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>This setting provides a method for integrating static and dynamic network configuration into
Linux <ulink url="https://docs.kernel.org/netlabel/index.html">NetLabel</ulink> subsystem rules,
used by <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Security_Modules">Linux Security Modules
(LSMs)</ulink> for network access control. The label, with suitable LSM rules, can be used to
control connectivity of (for example) a service with peers in the local network. At least with
SELinux, only the ingress can be controlled but not egress. The benefit of using this setting is
that it may be possible to apply interface independent part of NetLabel configuration at very early
stage of system boot sequence, at the time when the network interfaces are not available yet, with
<citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>netlabelctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
and the per-interface configuration with <command>systemd-networkd</command> once the interfaces
appear later. Currently this feature is only implemented for SELinux.</para>
<para>The option expects a single NetLabel label. The label must conform to lexical restrictions of
LSM labels. When an interface is configured with IP addresses, the addresses and subnetwork masks
will be appended to the <ulink
url="https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-notebook/blob/main/src/network_support.md">NetLabel
Fallback Peer Labeling</ulink> rules. They will be removed when the interface is
deconfigured. Failures to manage the labels will be ignored.</para>
<warning>
<para>Once labeling is enabled for network traffic, a lot of LSM access control points in
Linux networking stack go from dormant to active. Care should be taken to avoid getting into a
situation where for example remote connectivity is broken, when the security policy hasn't been
updated to consider LSM per-packet access controls and no rules would allow any network
traffic. Also note that additional configuration with <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>netlabelctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
is needed.</para>
</warning>
<para>Example:
<programlisting>[Address]
NetLabel=system_u:object_r:localnet_peer_t:s0</programlisting>
With the example rules applying for interface <literal>eth0</literal>, when the interface is
configured with an IPv4 address of 10.0.0.123/8, <command>systemd-networkd</command> performs the
equivalent of <command>netlabelctl</command> operation
<programlisting>netlabelctl unlbl add interface eth0 address:10.0.0.0/8 label:system_u:object_r:localnet_peer_t:s0</programlisting>
and the reverse operation when the IPv4 address is deconfigured. The configuration can be used with
LSM rules; in case of SELinux to allow a SELinux domain to receive data from objects of SELinux
<literal>peer</literal> class. For example:
<programlisting>type localnet_peer_t;
allow my_server_t localnet_peer_t:peer recv;</programlisting>
The effect of the above configuration and rules (in absence of other rules as may be the case) is
to only allow <literal>my_server_t</literal> (and nothing else) to receive data from local subnet
10.0.0.0/8 of interface <literal>eth0</literal>.

<listitem>
<para>This setting provides a method for integrating network configuration into firewall rules with
<ulink url="https://netfilter.org/projects/nftables/index.html">NFT</ulink> sets. The benefit of
using the setting is that static network configuration (or dynamically obtained network addresses,
see similar directives in other sections) can be used in firewall rules with the indirection of NFT
set types. For example, access could be granted for hosts in the local subnetwork only. Firewall
rules using IP address of an interface are also instantly updated when the network configuration
changes, for example via DHCP.</para>
<para>This option expects a whitespace separated list of NFT set definitions. Each definition

<literal>arp</literal>, <literal>bridge</literal>, <literal>inet</literal>, <literal>ip</literal>,
<literal>ip6</literal>, or <literal>netdev</literal>), table name and set name. The names of tables
and sets must conform to lexical restrictions of NFT table names. The type of the element used in
the NFT filter must match the type implied by the directive (<literal>address</literal>,

<listitem>
<para>
An IPv6 address must be specified after a colon (<literal>:</literal>), and the
lower bits of the supplied address are combined with the upper bits of a prefix
received in a Router Advertisement (RA) 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 by 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. If an IPv6 address without mode is specified, then
<literal>static</literal> mode is assumed.

<listitem>
<para>
The algorithm specified in
<ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7217">RFC 7217</ulink> will be used to
generate interface identifiers. This mode can optionally take an IPv6 address
separated with a colon (<literal>:</literal>). If an IPv6 address is specified,
then an interface identifier is generated only when a prefix received in an RA
message matches the supplied address.
</para>
<para>
This mode can also optionally take a non-null UUID in the format which
<function>sd_id128_from_string()</function> accepts, e.g.
<literal>86b123b969ba4b7eb8b3d8605123525a</literal> or
<literal>86b123b9-69ba-4b7e-b8b3-d8605123525a</literal>. If a UUID is specified, the
value is used as the secret key to generate interface identifiers. If not specified,
then an application specific ID generated with the system's machine-ID will be used
as the secret key. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

</para>
<para>
Note that the <literal>prefixstable</literal> algorithm uses both the interface
name and MAC address as input to the hash to compute the interface identifier, so
if either of those are changed the resulting interface identifier (and address)
will be changed, even if the prefix received in the RA message has not been
changed.

<para>It is recommended to enable this option only on trusted networks, as setting this affects resolution

The DNS servers to pass to clients may be configured with the <varname>DNS=</varname> option,
which takes a list of IPv4 addresses, or special value <literal>_server_address</literal> which
will be converted to the address used by the DHCP server.</para>
<para>If the <varname>EmitDNS=</varname> option is enabled but no servers configured, the
servers are automatically propagated from an "uplink" interface that has appropriate servers
set. The "uplink" interface is determined by the default route of the system with the highest
priority. Note that this information is acquired at the time the lease is handed out, and does
not take uplink interfaces into account that acquire DNS server information at a later point.
If no suitable uplink interface is found the DNS server data from
<filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> is used. Also, note that the leases are not refreshed if
the uplink network configuration changes. To ensure clients regularly acquire the most current
uplink DNS server information, it is thus advisable to shorten the DHCP lease time via
<varname>MaxLeaseTimeSec=</varname> described above.</para>
<para>This setting can be specified multiple times. If an empty string is specified, then all
DNS servers specified earlier are cleared.</para>
