14 systemd-networkd is a system service that manages networks. It detects
15 and configures network devices as they appear, as well as creating
16 virtual network devices.
17
18 To configure low-level link settings independently of networks, see
19 systemd.link(5).
20
21 Network configurations applied before networkd is started are not
22 removed, and static configuration applied by networkd is not removed
23 when networkd exits. Dynamic configuration applied by networkd may also
24 optionally be left in place on shutdown. This ensures restarting
25 networkd does not cut the network connection, and, in particular, that
26 it is safe to transition between the initrd and the real root, and
27 back.
28
30 The configuration files are read from the files located in the system
31 network directory /usr/lib/systemd/network, the volatile runtime
32 network directory /run/systemd/network and the local administration
33 network directory /etc/systemd/network.
34
35 Networks are configured in .network files, see systemd.network(5), and
36 virtual network devices are configured in .netdev files, see
37 systemd.netdev(5).
