    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Network link configuration is performed by the
    <command>net_setup_link</command> udev builtin.</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>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 each of the entries in the [Match] section matches, or if
    the section is empty. The following keys are accepted:</para>

    <variablelist class='network-directives'>
      <varlistentry>
        <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>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>OriginalName=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching
          the device name, as exposed by the udev property
          "INTERFACE". This cannot be used to match on names that have
          already been changed from userspace. Caution is advised when matching on
          kernel-assigned names, as they are known to be unstable
          between reboots.</para>

        <term><varname>Path=</varname></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>Driver=</varname></term>
        <listitem>

          device, as exposed by the udev property <varname>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.</para>

          operations, either udev or the kernel will win, making the naming
          unpredictable. It is best to use some different prefix, for example
