<para>The behavior of the daemon can be configured using

its command line options, environment variables, and on the kernel
command line, or changed dynamically with <command>udevadm

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>net.naming-scheme=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible (unless
<varname>net.ifnames=0</varname> is specified, see above). With this kernel command line option it
is possible to pick a specific version of this algorithm and override the default chosen at
compilation time. Expects one of the naming scheme identifiers listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.net-naming-scheme</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
or <literal>latest</literal> to select the latest scheme known (to this particular version of
<filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename>).</para>
<para>Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully stabilize interface naming:
the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is
updated, previously missing attributes <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> is checking might
appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>net.ifname-policy=<replaceable>policy1</replaceable>[,<replaceable>policy2</replaceable>,…][,<replaceable>MAC</replaceable>]</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies naming policies applied when renaming network interfaces. Takes a list of
policies and an optional MAC address separated with comma. Each policy value must be one of
the policies understood by the <varname>NamePolicy=</varname> setting in .link files, e.g.
<literal>onboard</literal> or <literal>path</literal>. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.link</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more details. When the MAC address is specified, the policies are applied to the
interface which has the address. When no MAC address is specified, the policies are applied
to all interfaces. This kernel command line argument can be specified multiple times.</para>
<para>This argument is not directly read by <command>systemd-udevd</command>, but is instead
converted to a .link file by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-network-generator.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
For this argument to take effect, <filename>systemd-network-generator.service</filename> must be
enabled.</para>
<para>Example:
<programlisting>net.ifname-policy=keep,kernel,path,slot,onboard,01:23:45:67:89:ab
net.ifname-policy=keep,kernel,path,slot,onboard,mac</programlisting>
This is mostly equivalent to creating the following .link files:
<programlisting># 91-name-policy-with-mac.link
[Match]
MACAddress=01:23:45:67:89:ab
[Link]
NamePolicy=keep kernel path slot onboard
AlternativeNamePolicy=path slot onboard</programlisting>
and
<programlisting># 92-name-policy-for-all.link
[Match]
OriginalName=*
[Link]
NamePolicy=keep kernel path slot onboard mac
AlternativeNamePolicy=path slot onboard mac</programlisting>
