+
+ <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
