SYSTEMD-NETWORK-GENERATsystemd-network-genSYSTEMD-NETWORK-GENERATOR.SERVICE(8)

NAME
       systemd-network-generator.service, systemd-network-generator - Generate
       network configuration from the kernel command line

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-network-generator.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-network-generator

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-network-generator.service is a system service that translates
       ip= and the related settings on the kernel command line (see below)
       into systemd.network(5), systemd.netdev(5), and systemd.link(5)
       configuration files understood by systemd-networkd.service(8) and
       systemd-udevd.service(8).

       Files are generated in /run/systemd/network/.

       Note: despite the name, this generator executes as a normal systemd
       service and is not an implementation of the systemd.generator(7)
       concept.

KERNEL COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       This tool understands the following options:

       ip=, rd.route=, rd.peerdns=
           — translated into systemd.network(5) files.

       ifname=, net.ifname-policy=
           — translated into systemd.link(5) files.

       vlan=, bond=, bridge=, bootdev=
           — translated into systemd.netdev(5) files.

       See dracut.cmdline(7) and systemd-udevd.service(8) for option syntax
       and details.
