<p><strong>Note:</strong> Some options will not work reliably for
devices matched by name only and rendered by networkd, due to
interactions with device renaming in udev. Match devices by MAC when
setting options like: <code>wakeonlan</code> or
<code>*-offload</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>match</strong> (mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This selects a subset of available physical devices by various
hardware properties. The following configuration will then apply to all
matching devices, as soon as they appear. <em>All</em> specified
properties must match.</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>name</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Current interface name. Globs are supported, and the primary use case
for matching on names, as selecting one fixed name can be more easily
achieved with having no <code>match:</code> at all and just using the ID
(see above). (<code>NetworkManager</code>: as of v1.14.0)</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>macaddress</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Device’s 6-byte permanent MAC address in the form “XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX”
or 20 bytes for InfiniBand devices (IPoIB). Globs are not allowed. This
doesn’t match virtual MAC addresses for veth, bridge, bond, vlan, …</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>driver</strong> (scalar or sequence of scalars) –
sequence since <strong>0.104</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Kernel driver name, corresponding to the <code>DRIVER</code> udev
property. A sequence of globs is supported, any of which must match.
Matching on driver is <em>only</em> supported with networkd.</p>

<li><p><strong>set-name</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When matching on unique properties such as path or MAC, or with
additional assumptions such as “there will only ever be one wifi
device”, match rules can be written so that they only match one device.
Then this property can be used to give that device a more
specific/desirable/nicer name than the default from udev’s ifnames. Any
additional device that satisfies the match rules will then fail to get
renamed and keep the original kernel name (and dmesg will show an
error).</p>

<h2 id="properties-for-all-device-types">Properties for all device

<ul>
<li><p><strong>renderer</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Use the given networking backend for this definition. Currently
supported are <code>networkd</code> and <code>NetworkManager</code>.
This property can be specified globally in <code>network:</code>, for a
device type (in e. g. <code>ethernets:</code>) or for a particular
device definition. Default is <code>networkd</code>.</p>
<p>(Since 0.99) The <code>renderer</code> property has one additional
acceptable value for vlan objects (i. e. defined in
<code>vlans:</code>): <code>sriov</code>. If a vlan is defined with the
<code>sriov</code> renderer for an SR-IOV Virtual Function interface,
this causes netplan to set up a hardware VLAN filter for it. There can
be only one defined per VF.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp4</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Enable DHCP for IPv4. Off by default.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp6</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Enable DHCP for IPv6. Off by default. This covers both stateless DHCP
- where the DHCP server supplies information like DNS nameservers but
not the IP address - and stateful DHCP, where the server provides both
the address and the other information.</p>
<p>If you are in an IPv6-only environment with completely stateless
auto-configuration (SLAAC with RDNSS), this option can be set to cause
the interface to be brought up. (Setting accept-ra alone is not
sufficient.) Auto-configuration will still honor the contents of the
router advertisement and only use DHCP if requested in the RA.</p>
<p>Note that <strong><code>rdnssd</code></strong>(8) is required to use
RDNSS with networkd. No extra software is required for
NetworkManager.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>ipv6-mtu</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.98</strong>
> Set the IPv6 MTU (only supported with <code>networkd</code>
backend). Note > that needing to set this is an unusual requirement.
> > <strong>Requires feature: ipv6-mtu</strong></p></li>
<li><p><strong>ipv6-privacy</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Enable IPv6 Privacy Extensions (RFC 4941) for the specified
interface, and prefer temporary addresses. Defaults to false - no
privacy extensions. There is currently no way to have a private address
but prefer the public address.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>link-local</strong> (sequence of scalars)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Configure the link-local addresses to bring up. Valid options are
‘ipv4’ and ‘ipv6’, which respectively allow enabling IPv4 and IPv6 link
local addressing. If this field is not defined, the default is to enable
only IPv6 link-local addresses. If the field is defined but configured
as an empty set, IPv6 link-local addresses are disabled as well as IPv4
link- local addresses.</p>
<p>This feature enables or disables link-local addresses for a protocol,
but the actual implementation differs per backend. On networkd, this
directly changes the behavior and may add an extra address on an
interface. When using the NetworkManager backend, enabling link-local
has no effect if the interface also has DHCP enabled.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable only IPv4 link-local: <code>link-local: [ ipv4 ]</code></li>
<li>Enable all link-local addresses:
<code>link-local: [ ipv4, ipv6 ]</code></li>
<li>Disable all link-local addresses: <code>link-local: [ ]</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><strong>ignore-carrier</strong> (bool) – since
<strong>0.104</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) Allow the specified interface to be
configured even if it has no carrier.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>critical</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Designate the connection as “critical to the system”, meaning that
special care will be taken by to not release the assigned IP when the
daemon is restarted. (not recognized by NetworkManager)</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp-identifier</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) Sets the source of DHCPv4 client identifier.
If <code>mac</code> is specified, the MAC address of the link is used.
If this option is omitted, or if <code>duid</code> is specified,
networkd will generate an RFC4361-compliant client identifier for the
interface by combining the link’s IAID and DUID.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp4-overrides</strong> (mapping)</p>

<h2 id="properties-for-device-type-tunnels">Properties for device type
<code>tunnels:</code></h2>
<p>Tunnels allow traffic to pass as if it was between systems on the
same local network, although systems may be far from each other but
reachable via the Internet. They may be used to support IPv6 traffic on
a network where the ISP does not provide the service, or to extend and
“connect” separate local networks. Please see <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_protocol"
class="uri">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_protocol</a> for
more general information about tunnels.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>mode</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the tunnel mode. Valid options are <code>sit</code>,
<code>gre</code>, <code>ip6gre</code>, <code>ipip</code>,
<code>ipip6</code>, <code>ip6ip6</code>, <code>vti</code>,
<code>vti6</code>, <code>wireguard</code> and <code>vxlan</code>.
Additionally, the <code>networkd</code> backend also supports
<code>gretap</code> and <code>ip6gretap</code> modes. In addition, the
<code>NetworkManager</code> backend supports <code>isatap</code>
tunnels.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>local</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the address of the local endpoint of the tunnel. (For VXLAN)
This should match one of the parent’s IP addresses or make use of the
networkd special values.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>remote</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel or multicast
group IP address for VXLAN.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>ttl</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.103</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the Time To Live (TTL) of the tunnel. Takes a number in the
range <code>1..255</code>.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>key</strong> (scalar or mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Define keys to use for the tunnel. The key can be a number or a
dotted quad (an IPv4 address). For <code>wireguard</code> it can be a
base64-encoded private key or (as of <code>networkd</code> v242+) an
absolute path to a file, containing the private key (since 0.100). It is
used for identification of IP transforms. This is only required for
<code>vti</code> and <code>vti6</code> when using the networkd
backend.</p>
<p>This field may be used as a scalar (meaning that a single key is
specified and to be used for input, output and private key), or as a
mapping, where you can further specify
<code>input</code>/<code>output</code>/<code>private</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>input</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The input key for the tunnel</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>output</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The output key for the tunnel</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>private</strong> (scalar) – since
<strong>0.100</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>A base64-encoded private key required for WireGuard tunnels. When the
<code>systemd-networkd</code> backend (v242+) is used, this can also be
an absolute path to a file containing the private key.</p>
</blockquote></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><strong>keys</strong> (scalar or mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Alternate name for the <code>key</code> field. See above.</p>
