<title>Description</title>
<para>A plain ini-style text file that encodes configuration for matching network devices, used by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and in
particular its <command>net_setup_link</command> builtin. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a
general description of the syntax.</para>
<para>The link 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>. Link files must have the extension
<filename>.link</filename>; other extensions are ignored. All link 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 link file with a
local file if needed. As a special case, an empty file (file size 0) or symlink with the same name
pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename> disables the configuration file entirely (it is
"masked").</para>
<para>Along with the link file <filename>foo.link</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
<filename>foo.link.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal>
from this directory will be merged in the alphanumeric order and parsed after the main file itself
has been parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration settings, without having to modify
the main configuration file. Each drop-in file must have appropriate section headers.</para>
<para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> or
<filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> directories. Drop-in files in <filename>/etc/</filename>
take precedence over those in <filename>/run/</filename> which in turn take precedence over those
in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these directories take precedence
over the main link file wherever located.</para>
<para>The link file contains a [Match] section, which determines if a given link file may be applied to a
given device, as well as a [Link] section specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in
lexical order) of the link files that matches a given device is applied. Note that a default file
<filename>99-default.link</filename> is shipped by the system. Any user-supplied
<filename>.link</filename> should hence have a lexically earlier name to be considered at all.</para>
<para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udevadm</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
diagnosing problems with <filename>.link</filename> files.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>[Match] Section Options</title>
<para>A link file is said to match a device if all matches specified by the
[Match] section are satisfied. When a link file does not contain valid settings
in [Match] section, then the file will match all devices and
<command>systemd-udevd</command> warns about that. Hint: to avoid the warning and to make it clear
that all interfaces shall be matched, add the following:
<programlisting>OriginalName=*</programlisting>
The following keys are accepted:</para>
<variablelist class='network-directives'>
<!-- This list is reused in systemd.network(3), hence maintain a specific order:
1. device matches shared between the two lists
2. non-shared settings
3. host matches shared between the two lists
-->
<varlistentry id='mac-address'>
<term><varname>MACAddress=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of hardware addresses. Use full colon-, hyphen- or dot-delimited hexadecimal. See the example below.
This option may appear more than once, in which case the lists are merged. If the empty string is assigned to this option, the list
of hardware addresses defined prior to this is reset.</para>
<para>Example:
<programlisting>MACAddress=01:23:45:67:89:ab 00-11-22-33-44-55 AABB.CCDD.EEFF</programlisting></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id='permanent-mac-address'>
<term><varname>PermanentMACAddress=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of hardware's permanent addresses. While
<varname>MACAddress=</varname> matches the device's current MAC address, this matches the
device's permanent MAC address, which may be different from the current one. Use full
colon-, hyphen- or dot-delimited hexadecimal. This option may appear more than once, in
which case the lists are merged. If the empty string is assigned to this option, the list
of hardware addresses defined prior to this is reset.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id='path'>
<term><varname>Path=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching

<varname>ID_PATH</varname>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id='driver'>
<term><varname>Driver=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the driver currently bound to the
device, as exposed by the udev property <varname>ID_NET_DRIVER</varname> of its parent device, or
if that is not set, the driver as exposed by <command>ethtool -i</command> of the device itself.
If the list is prefixed with a "!", the test is inverted.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id='type'>
<term><varname>Type=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the device type, as exposed by
<command>networkctl list</command>. If the list is prefixed with a "!", the test is inverted.
Some valid values are <literal>ether</literal>, <literal>loopback</literal>, <literal>wlan</literal>, <literal>wwan</literal>.
Valid types are named either from the udev <literal>DEVTYPE</literal> attribute, or
<literal>ARPHRD_</literal> macros in <filename>linux/if_arp.h</filename>, so this is not comprehensive.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id='property'>
<term><varname>Property=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of udev property names with their values after equals sign
(<literal>=</literal>). If multiple properties are specified, the test results are ANDed.
If the list is prefixed with a "!", the test is inverted. If a value contains white
spaces, then please quote whole key and value pair. If a value contains quotation, then
please escape the quotation with <literal>\</literal>.</para>
<para>Example: if a .link file has the following:
<programlisting>Property=ID_MODEL_ID=9999 "ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=vendor name" "KEY=with \"quotation\""</programlisting>
then, the .link file matches only when an interface has all the above three properties.

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>OriginalName=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the device name, as exposed by the

unstable between reboots.</para>

<term><varname>Name=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>The interface name to use. This option has lower precedence than

must either be unset, empty, disabled, or all policies configured there must fail. Also see the
example below with <literal>Name=dmz0</literal>.</para>
<para>Note that specifying a name that the kernel might use for another
interface (for example <literal>eth0</literal>) is dangerous because the
name assignment done by udev will race with the assignment done by the
kernel, and only one interface may use the name. Depending on the order of
operations, either udev or the kernel will win, making the naming
unpredictable. It is best to use some different prefix, for example
<literal>internal0</literal>/<literal>external0</literal> or

Autonegotiation is a procedure by which two connected ethernet devices choose
