See +\fBsystemd.syntax\fR(7) +for a general description of the syntax\&. +.PP +The +\&.link +files are read from the files located in the system network directory +/usr/lib/systemd/network +and +/usr/local/lib/systemd/network, the volatile runtime network directory +/run/systemd/network, and the local administration network directory +/etc/systemd/network\&. All configuration files are collectively sorted and processed in alphanumeric order, regardless of the directories in which they live\&. However, files with identical filenames replace each other\&. It is recommended that each filename is prefixed with a number smaller than +"70" +(e\&.g\&. +10\-eth0\&.link)\&. Otherwise, the default +\&.link +files or those generated by +\fBsystemd-network-generator.service\fR(8) +may take precedence over user configured files\&. Files in +/etc/ +have the highest priority, files in +/run/ +take precedence over files with the same name in +/usr/lib/\&. 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 +/dev/null +disables the configuration file entirely (it is "masked")\&. +.PP +Along with the link file +foo\&.link, a "drop\-in" directory +foo\&.link\&.d/ +may exist\&. All files with the suffix +"\&.conf" +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\&. +.PP +In addition to +/etc/systemd/network, drop\-in +"\&.d" +directories can be placed in +/usr/lib/systemd/network +or +/run/systemd/network +directories\&. Drop\-in files in +/etc/ +take precedence over those in +/run/ +which in turn take precedence over those in +/usr/lib/\&. Drop\-in files under any of these directories take precedence over the main link file wherever located\&. +.PP +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 +99\-default\&.link +is shipped by the system\&. Any user\-supplied +\&.link +should hence have a lexically earlier name to be considered at all\&. +.PP +See +\fBudevadm\fR(8) +for diagnosing problems with +\&.link +files\&. +.SH "[MATCH] SECTION OPTIONS" +.PP +A link file is said to match an interface 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 interfaces and +\fBsystemd\-udevd\fR +warns about that\&. Hint: to avoid the warning and to make it clear that all interfaces shall be matched, add the following: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +OriginalName=* +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.sp +The first (in alphanumeric order) of the link files that matches a given interface is applied, all later files are ignored, even if they match as well\&.

Also see the example below with +"Name=dmz0"\&. +.sp +Note that specifying a name that the kernel might use for another interface (for example +"eth0") 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\&.
