+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-networkd</command> is a system service that
+ manages networks. It detects and configures network devices as
+ they appear, as well as creating virtual network devices.</para>
+
+ <para>To configure low-level link settings independently of
+ networks, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.link</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1><title>Configuration Files</title>
+ <para>The configuration 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>.</para>
+
+ <para>Networks are configured in <filename>.network</filename>
+ files, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ and virtual network devices are configured in
+ <filename>.netdev</filename> files, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.netdev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
