.SH "NAME"
systemd-network-generator.service, systemd-network-generator \- Generate network configuration from the kernel command line
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
systemd\-network\-generator\&.service
.PP
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd\-network\-generator
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
systemd\-network\-generator\&.service
is a system service that translates
\fIip=\fR
and related settings on the kernel command line (see below) into
\fBsystemd.network\fR(5),
\fBsystemd.netdev\fR(5), and
\fBsystemd.link\fR(5)
configuration files understood by
\fBsystemd-networkd.service\fR(8)
and
\fBsystemd-udevd.service\fR(8)\&.
.PP
Files are generated in
/run/systemd/network/\&.
.PP
Note: despite the name, this generator executes as a normal systemd service and is
\fInot\fR
an implementation of the
\fBsystemd.generator\fR(7)
concept\&.
.SH "KERNEL COMMAND LINE OPTIONS"
.PP
This tool understands the following options:
.PP
\fIip=\fR, \fInameserver=\fR, \fIrd\&.route=\fR, \fIrd\&.peerdns=\fR
.RS 4
Translated into
\fBsystemd.network\fR(5)
files\&.
.sp
In addition to the parameters
\fBdracut.cmdline\fR(7)
defines the
\fIip=\fR
option accepts the special value
"link\-local"\&. If selected, the network interfaces will be configured for link\-local addressing (IPv4LL, IPv6LL) only, DHCP or IPv6RA will not be enabled\&.
.sp
Added in version 245\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIifname=\fR, \fInet\&.ifname\-policy=\fR
.RS 4
Translated into
