- <title>Network Interface Configuration Files</title>
- <para>Starting with version 209, systemd ships a network configuration
- daemon called <command>systemd-networkd</command> which can be used for
- basic network configuration. Additionally, since version 213, DNS name
- resolution can be handled by <command>systemd-resolved</command> in place
- of a static <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> file. Both services are
- enabled by default.</para>
- <para>Configuration files for <command>systemd-networkd</command> (and
- <command>systemd-resolved</command>) can be placed in
- <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>
- or <filename class="directory">/etc/systemd/network</filename>. Files in
- <filename class="directory">/etc/systemd/network</filename> have a
- higher priority than the ones in
- <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>.
- There are three types of configuration files:
- <filename class="extension">.link</filename>,
- <filename class="extension">.netdev</filename> and
- <filename class="extension">.network</filename> files. For detailed
- descriptions and example contents of these configuration files, consult
- the <filename>systemd-link(5)</filename>,
- <filename>systemd-netdev(5)</filename> and
- <filename>systemd-network(5)</filename> manual pages.</para>
- <note><para>Udev may assign network card interface names based
- on system physical characteristics such as enp2s1. If you are
- not sure what your interface name is, you can always run
- <command>ip link</command> after you have booted your system.
