systemd-networkd is a system service that manages networks. It
detects and configures network devices as they appear, as well as
creating virtual network devices.
To configure low-level link settings independently of networks, see
systemd.link(5).
Network configurations applied before networkd is started are not
removed, and static configuration applied by networkd is not removed
when networkd exits. Dynamic configuration applied by networkd may
also optionally be left in place on shutdown. This ensures restarting
networkd does not cut the network connection, and, in particular,
that it is safe to transition between the initrd and the real root,
and back.
The configuration files are read from the files located in the system
network directory /usr/lib/systemd/network, the volatile runtime
network directory /run/systemd/network and the local administration
network directory /etc/systemd/network.
Networks are configured in .network files, see systemd.network(5),
and virtual network devices are configured in .netdev files, see
systemd.netdev(5).
