SYSTEMD-NETWORKD.SERVICE(8) systemd-networkd.service SYSTEMD-NETWORKD.SERVICE(8)
NAME
systemd-networkd.service, systemd-networkd - Network manager
SYNOPSIS
systemd-networkd.service
/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd
DESCRIPTION
systemd-networkd is a system service that manages networks. It detects and configures
network devices as they appear, as well as creating virtual network devices.
To configure low-level link settings independently of networks, see systemd.link(5).
Network configurations applied before networkd is started are not removed, and static
configuration applied by networkd is not removed when networkd exits. Dynamic
configuration applied by networkd may also optionally be left in place on shutdown. This
ensures restarting networkd does not cut the network connection, and, in particular, that
it is safe to transition between the initrd and the real root, and back.
CONFIGURATION FILES
The configuration files are read from the files located in the system network directory
/lib/systemd/network, the volatile runtime network directory /run/systemd/network and the
local administration network directory /etc/systemd/network.
Networks are configured in .network files, see systemd.network(5), and virtual network
devices are configured in .netdev files, see systemd.netdev(5).
