SYSTEMD.LINK(5) systemd.link SYSTEMD.LINK(5)
NAME
systemd.link - Network device configuration
SYNOPSIS
link.link
DESCRIPTION
A plain ini-style text file that encodes configuration for
matching network devices, used by systemd-udevd(8) and in
particular its net_setup_link builtin. See systemd.syntax(7) for
a general description of the syntax.
The .link files are read from the files located in the system
network directory /usr/lib/systemd/network and
/usr/local/lib/systemd/network [1], 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 systemd-network-generator.service(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").
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.
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.
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.
See udevadm(8) for diagnosing problems with .link files.
[MATCH] SECTION OPTIONS
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 systemd-udevd warns about that.
Hint: to avoid the warning and to make it clear that all
interfaces shall be matched, add the following:
OriginalName=*
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. The following keys are accepted:
MACAddress=
A whitespace-separated list of hardware addresses. The
acceptable formats are:
colon-delimited hexadecimal
Each field must be one byte. E.g. "12:34:56:78:90:ab" or
"AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF".
Added in version 250.
hyphen-delimited hexadecimal
Each field must be one byte. E.g. "12-34-56-78-90-ab" or
"AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF".
Added in version 250.
dot-delimited hexadecimal
Each field must be two bytes. E.g. "1234.5678.90ab" or
"AABB.CCDD.EEFF".
Added in version 250.
IPv4 address format
E.g. "127.0.0.1" or "192.168.0.1".
Added in version 250.
IPv6 address format
E.g. "2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334" or "::1".
Added in version 250.
The total length of each MAC address must be 4 (for IPv4
tunnel), 6 (for Ethernet), 16 (for IPv6 tunnel), or 20 (for
InfiniBand). 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. Defaults to unset.
Added in version 211.
PermanentMACAddress=
A whitespace-separated list of hardware's permanent
addresses. While MACAddress= matches the device's current MAC
address, this matches the device's permanent MAC address,
which may be different from the current one. Use full colon-,
hyphen- or dot-delimited hexadecimal, or IPv4 or IPv6 address
format. 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. Defaults to unset.
Added in version 245.
Path=
A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the
persistent path, as exposed by the udev property ID_PATH.
Added in version 211.
Driver=
A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the
driver currently bound to the device, as exposed by the udev
property ID_NET_DRIVER of its parent device, or if that is
not set, the driver as exposed by ethtool -i of the device
itself. If the list is prefixed with a "!", the test is
inverted.
Added in version 211.
Type=
A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the
device type, as exposed by networkctl list. If the list is
prefixed with a "!", the test is inverted. Some valid values
are "ether", "loopback", "wlan", "wwan". Valid types are
named either from the udev "DEVTYPE" attribute, or "ARPHRD_"
macros in linux/if_arp.h, so this is not comprehensive.
Added in version 211.
Kind=
A whitespace-separated list of shell-style globs matching the
device kind, as exposed by networkctl status INTERFACE or ip
-d link show INTERFACE. If the list is prefixed with a "!",
the test is inverted. Some valid values are "bond", "bridge",
"gre", "tun", "veth". Valid kinds are given by netlink's
"IFLA_INFO_KIND" attribute, so this is not comprehensive.
Added in version 251.
Property=
A whitespace-separated list of udev property names with their
values after equals sign ("="). If multiple properties are
specified, the test results are ANDed. If the list is
prefixed with a "!", the test is inverted. If a value
contains white spaces, then please quote whole key and value
pair. If a value contains quotation, then please escape the
quotation with "\".
Example: if a .link file has the following:
Property=ID_MODEL_ID=9999 "ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=vendor name" "KEY=with \"quotation\""
then, the .link file matches only when an interface has all
the above three properties.
Added in version 243.
OriginalName=
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.
Added in version 218.
Host=
Matches against the hostname or machine ID of the host. See
ConditionHost= in systemd.unit(5) for details. When prefixed
with an exclamation mark ("!"), the result is negated. If an
empty string is assigned, the previously assigned value is
cleared.
Added in version 211.
Virtualization=
Checks whether the system is executed in a virtualized
environment and optionally test whether it is a specific
implementation. See ConditionVirtualization= in
systemd.unit(5) for details. When prefixed with an
exclamation mark ("!"), the result is negated. If an empty
string is assigned, the previously assigned value is cleared.
Added in version 211.
KernelCommandLine=
Checks whether a specific kernel command line option is set.
See ConditionKernelCommandLine= in systemd.unit(5) for
details. When prefixed with an exclamation mark ("!"), the
result is negated. If an empty string is assigned, the
previously assigned value is cleared.
Added in version 211.
KernelVersion=
Checks whether the kernel version (as reported by uname -r)
matches a certain expression. See ConditionKernelVersion= in
systemd.unit(5) for details. When prefixed with an
exclamation mark ("!"), the result is negated. If an empty
string is assigned, the previously assigned value is cleared.
Added in version 237.
Credential=
Checks whether the specified credential was passed to the
systemd-udevd.service service. See System and Service
Credentials[2] for details. When prefixed with an exclamation
mark ("!"), the result is negated. If an empty string is
assigned, the previously assigned value is cleared.
Added in version 252.
Architecture=
Checks whether the system is running on a specific
architecture. See ConditionArchitecture= in systemd.unit(5)
for details. When prefixed with an exclamation mark ("!"),
the result is negated. If an empty string is assigned, the
previously assigned value is cleared.
Added in version 211.
Firmware=
Checks whether the system is running on a machine with the
specified firmware. See ConditionFirmware= in systemd.unit(5)
for details. When prefixed with an exclamation mark ("!"),
the result is negated. If an empty string is assigned, the
previously assigned value is cleared.
Added in version 249.
[LINK] SECTION OPTIONS
The [Link] section accepts the following keys:
Description=
A description of the device.
Added in version 211.
Property=
Set specified udev properties. This takes space separated
list of key-value pairs concatenated with equal sign ("=").
Example:
Property=HOGE=foo BAR=baz
This option supports simple specifier expansion, see the
Specifiers section below. This option can be specified
multiple times. If an empty string is assigned, then the all
previous assignments are cleared.
This setting is useful to configure the "ID_NET_MANAGED_BY="
property which declares which network management service
shall manage the interface, which is respected by
systemd-networkd and others. Use
Property=ID_NET_MANAGED_BY=io.systemd.Network
to declare explicitly that systemd-networkd shall manage the
interface, or set the property to something else to declare
explicitly it shall not do so. See systemd.network(5) for
details how this property is used to match interface names.
Added in version 256.
ImportProperty=
Import specified udev properties from the saved database.
This takes space separated list of property names. Example:
ImportProperty=HOGE BAR
This option supports simple specifier expansion, see the
Specifiers section below. This option can be specified
multiple times. If an empty string is assigned, then the all
previous assignments are cleared.
If the same property is also set in Property= in the above,
then the imported property value will be overridden by the
value specified in Property=.
Added in version 256.
UnsetProperty=
Unset specified udev properties. This takes space separated
list of property names. Example:
ImportProperty=HOGE BAR
This option supports simple specifier expansion, see the
Specifiers section below. This option can be specified
multiple times. If an empty string is assigned, then the all
previous assignments are cleared.
This setting is applied after ImportProperty= and Property=
are applied. Hence, if the same property is specified in
ImportProperty= or Property=, then the imported or specified
property value will be ignored, and the property will be
unset.
Added in version 256.
Alias=
The ifalias interface property is set to this value.
Added in version 211.
MACAddressPolicy=
The policy by which the MAC address should be set. The
available policies are:
persistent
If the hardware has a persistent MAC address, as most
hardware should, and if it is used by the kernel, nothing
is done. Otherwise, a new MAC address is generated which
is guaranteed to be the same on every boot for the given
machine and the given device, but which is otherwise
random. This feature depends on ID_NET_NAME_* properties
to exist for the link. On hardware where these properties
are not set, the generation of a persistent MAC address
will fail.
Added in version 211.
random
If the kernel is using a random MAC address, nothing is
done. Otherwise, a new address is randomly generated each
time the device appears, typically at boot. Either way,
the random address will have the "unicast" and "locally
administered" bits set.
Added in version 211.
none
Keeps the MAC address assigned by the kernel. Or use the
MAC address specified in MACAddress=.
Added in version 227.
An empty string assignment is equivalent to setting "none".
Added in version 211.
MACAddress=
The interface MAC address to use. For this setting to take
effect, MACAddressPolicy= must either be unset, empty, or
"none".
Added in version 211.
NamePolicy=
An ordered, space-separated list of policies by which the
interface name should be set. NamePolicy= may be disabled by
specifying net.ifnames=0 on the kernel command line. Each of
the policies may fail, and the first successful one is used.
The name is not set directly, but is exported to udev as the
property ID_NET_NAME, which is, by default, used by a
udev(7), rule to set NAME. The available policies are:
kernel
If the kernel claims that the name it has set for a
device is predictable, then no renaming is performed.
Added in version 216.
database
The name is set based on entries in the udev's Hardware
Database with the key ID_NET_NAME_FROM_DATABASE.
Added in version 211.
onboard
The name is set based on information given by the
firmware for on-board devices, as exported by the udev
property ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD. See
systemd.net-naming-scheme(7).
Added in version 211.
slot
The name is set based on information given by the
firmware for hot-plug devices, as exported by the udev
property ID_NET_NAME_SLOT. See
systemd.net-naming-scheme(7).
Added in version 211.
path
The name is set based on the device's physical location,
as exported by the udev property ID_NET_NAME_PATH. See
systemd.net-naming-scheme(7).
Added in version 211.
mac
The name is set based on the device's persistent MAC
address, as exported by the udev property
ID_NET_NAME_MAC. See systemd.net-naming-scheme(7).
Added in version 211.
keep
If the device already had a name given by userspace (as
part of creation of the device or a rename), keep it.
Added in version 241.
Added in version 211.
Name=
The interface name to use. This option has lower precedence
than NamePolicy=, so for this setting to take effect,
NamePolicy= must either be unset, empty, disabled, or all
policies configured there must fail. Also see the example
below with "Name=dmz0".
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. Depending on the order of operations, either udev
or the kernel will win, making the naming unpredictable. It
is best to use some different prefix, for example
"internal0"/"external0" or "lan0"/"lan1"/"lan3".
Interface names must have a minimum length of 1 character and
a maximum length of 15 characters, and may contain any 7bit
ASCII character, with the exception of control characters,
":", "/" and "%". While "." is an allowed character, it's
recommended to avoid it when naming interfaces as various
tools (such as resolvconf(1)) use it as separator character.
Also, fully numeric interface names are not allowed (in order
to avoid ambiguity with interface specification by numeric
indexes), nor are the special strings ".", "..", "all" and
"default".
Added in version 211.
AlternativeNamesPolicy=
A space-separated list of policies by which the interface's
alternative names should be set. Each of the policies may
fail, and all successful policies are used. The available
policies are "database", "onboard", "slot", "path", and
"mac". If the kernel does not support the alternative names,
then this setting will be ignored.
Added in version 245.
AlternativeName=
The alternative interface name to use. This option can be
specified multiple times. If the empty string is assigned to
this option, the list is reset, and all prior assignments
have no effect. If the kernel does not support the
alternative names, then this setting will be ignored.
Alternative interface names may be used to identify
interfaces in various tools. In contrast to the primary name
(as configured with Name= above) there may be multiple
alternative names referring to the same interface.
Alternative names may have a maximum length of 127
characters, in contrast to the 15 allowed for the primary
interface name, but otherwise are subject to the same naming
constraints.
Added in version 245.
TransmitQueues=
Specifies the device's number of transmit queues. An integer
in the range 1...4096. When unset, the kernel's default will
be used.
Added in version 248.
ReceiveQueues=
Specifies the device's number of receive queues. An integer
in the range 1...4096. When unset, the kernel's default will
be used.
Added in version 248.
TransmitQueueLength=
Specifies the transmit queue length of the device in number
of packets. An unsigned integer in the range 0...4294967294.
When unset, the kernel's default will be used.
Added in version 248.
MTUBytes=
The maximum transmission unit in bytes to set for the device.
The usual suffixes K, M, G are supported and are understood
to the base of 1024.
Added in version 211.
BitsPerSecond=
The speed to set for the device, the value is rounded down to
the nearest Mbps. The usual suffixes K, M, G are supported
and are understood to the base of 1000.
Added in version 211.
Duplex=
The duplex mode to set for the device. The accepted values
are half and full.
Added in version 211.
AutoNegotiation=
Takes a boolean. If set to yes, automatic negotiation of
transmission parameters is enabled. Autonegotiation is a
procedure by which two connected ethernet devices choose
common transmission parameters, such as speed, duplex mode,
and flow control. When unset, the kernel's default will be
used.
Note that if autonegotiation is enabled, speed and duplex
settings are read-only. If autonegotiation is disabled, speed
and duplex settings are writable if the driver supports
multiple link modes.
Added in version 233.
WakeOnLan=
The Wake-on-LAN policy to set for the device. Takes the
special value "off" which disables Wake-on-LAN, or space
separated list of the following words:
phy
Wake on PHY activity.
Added in version 211.
unicast
Wake on unicast messages.
Added in version 235.
multicast
Wake on multicast messages.
Added in version 235.
broadcast
Wake on broadcast messages.
Added in version 235.
arp
Wake on ARP.
Added in version 235.
magic
Wake on receipt of a magic packet.
Added in version 211.
secureon
Enable SecureOn password for MagicPacket. Implied when
WakeOnLanPassword= is specified. If specified without
WakeOnLanPassword= option, then the password is read from
the credential "LINK.link.wol.password" (e.g.,
"60-foo.link.wol.password"), and if the credential not
found, then read from "wol.password". See
ImportCredential=/LoadCredential=/SetCredential= in
systemd.exec(5) for details. The password in the
credential, must be 6 bytes in hex format with each byte
separated by a colon (":") like an Ethernet MAC address,
e.g., "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff".
Added in version 235.
Defaults to unset, and the device's default will be used.
This setting can be specified multiple times. If an empty
string is assigned, then the all previous assignments are
cleared.
Added in version 211.
WakeOnLanPassword=
Specifies the SecureOn password for MagicPacket. Takes an
absolute path to a regular file or an AF_UNIX stream socket,
or the plain password. When a path to a regular file is
specified, the password is read from it. When an AF_UNIX
stream socket is specified, a connection is made to it and
the password is read from it. The password must be 6 bytes in
hex format with each byte separated by a colon (":") like an
Ethernet MAC address, e.g., "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff". This implies
WakeOnLan=secureon. Defaults to unset, and the current value
will not be changed.
Added in version 250.
Port=
The port option is used to select the device port. The
supported values are:
tp
An Ethernet interface using Twisted-Pair cable as the
medium.
Added in version 234.
aui
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI). Normally used with hubs.
Added in version 234.
bnc
An Ethernet interface using BNC connectors and co-axial
cable.
Added in version 234.
mii
An Ethernet interface using a Media Independent Interface
(MII).
Added in version 234.
fibre
An Ethernet interface using Optical Fibre as the medium.
Added in version 234.
Added in version 234.
Advertise=
This sets what speeds and duplex modes of operation are
advertised for auto-negotiation. This implies
"AutoNegotiation=yes". The supported values are:

The [SR-IOV] section accepts the following keys. Specify several
[SR-IOV] sections to configure several SR-IOVs. SR-IOV provides
the ability to partition a single physical PCI resource into
virtual PCI functions which can then be injected into a VM. In
the case of network VFs, SR-IOV improves north-south network
performance (that is, traffic with endpoints outside the host
machine) by allowing traffic to bypass the host machine’s network
stack.
VirtualFunction=
Specifies a Virtual Function (VF), lightweight PCIe function
designed solely to move data in and out. Takes an integer in
the range 0...2147483646. This option is compulsory.

MACSpoofCheck=
Takes a boolean. Controls the MAC spoof checking. When unset,
the kernel's default will be used.
Added in version 251.
QueryReceiveSideScaling=
Takes a boolean. Toggle the ability of querying the receive
side scaling (RSS) configuration of the virtual function
(VF). The VF RSS information like RSS hash key may be
considered sensitive on some devices where this information
is shared between VF and the physical function (PF). When
unset, the kernel's default will be used.
Added in version 251.
Trust=
Takes a boolean. Allows one to set trust mode of the virtual
function (VF). When set, VF users can set a specific feature
which may impact security and/or performance. When unset, the
kernel's default will be used.
Added in version 251.
LinkState=
Allows one to set the link state of the virtual function
(VF). Takes a boolean or a special value "auto". Setting to
"auto" means a reflection of the physical function (PF) link
state, "yes" lets the VF to communicate with other VFs on
this host even if the PF link state is down, "no" causes the
hardware to drop any packets sent by the VF. When unset, the
kernel's default will be used.
Added in version 251.
MACAddress=
Specifies the MAC address for the virtual function.
Added in version 251.
SPECIFIERS
Some settings resolve specifiers which may be used to write
generic unit files referring to runtime or unit parameters that
are replaced when the unit files are loaded. Specifiers must be
known and resolvable for the setting to be valid. The following
specifiers are understood:

EXAMPLES
Example 1. /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
The link file 99-default.link that is shipped with systemd
defines the default policies for the interface name, alternative
names, and MAC address of links.
[Match]
OriginalName=*
[Link]
NamePolicy=keep kernel database onboard slot path
AlternativeNamesPolicy=database onboard slot path
MACAddressPolicy=persistent
Example 2. /etc/systemd/network/10-dmz.link
This example assigns the fixed name "dmz0" to the interface with
the MAC address 00:a0:de:63:7a:e6:
[Match]
MACAddress=00:a0:de:63:7a:e6
[Link]
Name=dmz0
NamePolicy= is not set, so Name= takes effect. We use the "10-"
prefix to order this file early in the list. Note that it needs
to be before 99-default.link, i.e. it needs a numerical prefix,
to have any effect at all.
Example 3. (Re-)applying a .link file to an interface
After a new .link file has been created, or an existing .link
file modified, the new settings may be applied to the matching
interface with the following commands:
$ sudo udevadm control --reload
$ sudo ip link set eth0 down
$ sudo udevadm trigger --verbose --settle --action add /sys/class/net/eth0
You may also need to stop the service that manages the network
interface, e.g. systemd-networkd.service(8) or
NetworkManager.service before the above operation, and then
restart the service after that. For more details about udevadm
command, see udevadm(8).
Example 4. Debugging NamePolicy= assignments
$ sudo SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug udevadm test-builtin net_setup_link /sys/class/net/hub0
...
Parsed configuration file /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
Parsed configuration file /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.link
ID_NET_DRIVER=cdc_ether
Config file /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.link applies to device hub0
link_config: autonegotiation is unset or enabled, the speed and duplex are not writable.
hub0: Device has name_assign_type=4
Using default interface naming scheme 'v240'.
hub0: Policies didn't yield a name, using specified Name=hub0.
ID_NET_LINK_FILE=/etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.link
ID_NET_NAME=hub0
...
Explicit Name= configuration wins in this case.
sudo SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug udevadm test-builtin net_setup_link /sys/class/net/enp0s31f6
...
Parsed configuration file /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
Parsed configuration file /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.link
Created link configuration context.
ID_NET_DRIVER=e1000e
Config file /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link applies to device enp0s31f6
link_config: autonegotiation is unset or enabled, the speed and duplex are not writable.
enp0s31f6: Device has name_assign_type=4
Using default interface naming scheme 'v240'.
enp0s31f6: Policy *keep*: keeping existing userspace name
enp0s31f6: Device has addr_assign_type=0
enp0s31f6: MAC on the device already matches policy *persistent*
ID_NET_LINK_FILE=/usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
...
In this case, the interface was already renamed, so the keep
policy specified as the first option in 99-default.link means
that the existing name is preserved. If keep was removed, or if
were in boot before the renaming has happened, we might get the
following instead:
enp0s31f6: Policy *path* yields "enp0s31f6".
enp0s31f6: Device has addr_assign_type=0
enp0s31f6: MAC on the device already matches policy *persistent*
ID_NET_LINK_FILE=/usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
ID_NET_NAME=enp0s31f6
...
Please note that the details of output are subject to change.
Example 5. /etc/systemd/network/10-internet.link
This example assigns the fixed name "internet0" to the interface
with the device path "pci-0000:00:1a.0-*":
[Match]
Path=pci-0000:00:1a.0-*
[Link]
Name=internet0
Example 6. /etc/systemd/network/25-wireless.link
Here's an overly complex example that shows the use of a large
number of [Match] and [Link] settings.
[Match]
MACAddress=12:34:56:78:9a:bc
Driver=brcmsmac
Path=pci-0000:02:00.0-*
Type=wlan
Virtualization=no
Host=my-laptop
Architecture=x86-64
[Link]
Name=wireless0
MTUBytes=1450
BitsPerSecond=10M
WakeOnLan=magic
MACAddress=cb:a9:87:65:43:21
