systemd-network-generator.service, systemd-network-generator — Generate network configuration from the kernel command line
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/.
Note: despite the name, this generator executes as a normal systemd service and is not an implementation of the systemd.generator(7) concept.
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.
