<para>Network setup is performed by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The main Virtual Network Device file must have the extension <filename>.netdev</filename>;
other extensions are ignored. Virtual network devices are created as soon as networkd is
started. If a netdev with the specified name already exists, networkd will use that as-is rather
than create its own. Note that the settings of the pre-existing netdev will not be changed by
networkd.</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. 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 netdev file <filename>foo.netdev</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
<filename>foo.netdev.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal>
from this directory will be parsed after the file itself is 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 netdev file wherever located. (Of course, since
<filename>/run</filename> is temporary and <filename>/usr/lib</filename> is for vendors, it is
unlikely drop-ins should be used in either of those places.)</para>

<listitem>
<para>Sets a seconds interval, between 1 and 65535 inclusive, of how often

might at anytime receive traffic from a peer, and it is behind NAT,
the interface might benefit from having a persistent keepalive
interval of 25 seconds. If set to 0 or "off", this option is
disabled. By default or when unspecified, this option is off.

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>AllSlavesActive=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Takes a boolean. Specifies that duplicate frames (received on inactive ports)
should be dropped when false, or delivered when true. Normally, bonding will drop
duplicate frames (received on inactive ports), which is desirable for

frames to be delivered. The default value is false (drop duplicate frames
received on inactive ports).
