                <title>Description</title>

		<para>Network setup is performed by
		<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
		</para>

                <para>Network files must have the extension <filename>.network</filename>;
                other extensions are ignored. Networks are applied to links whenever the links
                appear.</para>

                <para>The <filename>.network</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>

        </refsect1>

        <refsect1>
                <title>[Match] Section Options</title>

                        <para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal> section,
                        which determines if a given network file may be applied to a given device;
                        and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section specifying how the device should
                        be configured. The first (in lexical order) of the network files that
                        matches a given device is applied.</para>

                        <para>A network file is said to match a device if each of the entries in the
                        <literal>[Match]</literal> section matches, or if the section is empty.
                        The following keys are accepted:</para>
