<title>Description</title>
<para>Network setup is performed by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<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
<literal>[Match]</literal> section matches the current
environment, or if the section is empty. The following keys are accepted:</para>
<variablelist class='network-directives'>
