systemd-network-generator.service
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-network-generator
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/.
This tool understands the following options:
ip=, rd.route=, rd.peerdns=¶— translated into systemd.network(5) files.
ifname=¶— translated into systemd.link(5) files.
vlan=, bond=, bridge=, bootdev=¶— translated into systemd.netdev(5) files.
See dracut.kernel(7) for option syntax and details.
