[https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-networkd.html systemd-networkd] is the network[[Category: Networking]] configuration component of the [[systemd]][[Category:systemd]] software suite. It is well integrated into NixOS below {{Nixos:option|systemd.network}} and should be preferred over {{Nixos:option|networking.interfaces}} options for most use cases, since it receives far superior maintenance.

Note that we usually prefix the configuration file with a number. This can be important, because networkd collects all available configuration files, then sorts them alphabetically, and uses the first match for each interface as its configuration. This happens separately for <code>.link</code>, <code>.netdev</code> and <code>.network</code> files, so that you can have one configuration of each type per interface.

When things don't work as expected, the journal for <code>systemd-networkd.service</code> should be consulted. Unfortunately, by default the log is not very useful in its default loglevel. Increasing the loglevel can be done using the <code>SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL</code> environment variable.

VLANs can be configured on top of hardlinks as well as virtual links, like bonding interfaces. They provide separate logical networks over physical links.
VLANs can be configured on top of hardlinks as well as virtual links, like bonding interfaces. They provide separate logical networks over physical links.


In this example we tag two VLANs with Ids 10 and 20 on a physical link <code>enp1s0</code>. The VLAN interfaces become available <code>vlan10</code> and <code>vlan20</code> and can receive additional configuration.

=== Router Advertisement ===
Router advertisements are way to allow clients to achieve stateless autoconfiguration (SLAAC). The most prominent setup is where the router announces a prefix onto a LAN segment, which the receiving client can use to set up an address on that prefix, and configure the sender as its default gateway.
In this example the router will announce a static IPv6 prefix on the <code>lan</code> interface from it's automatically configured link local address on that link. The router does not generally require a unique local or globally reachable address on the link, unless you also want to host services like DNS and NTP on that LAN segment.

        networkConfig = {

            # Announce a static prefix

          # Provide a DNS resolver
          EmitDNS = true;
          DNS = "2001:db8:1122:3344::1";

An extended form of this setup uses DHCPv6 prefix delegation to acquire a dynamic prefix over a WAN link, which then gets distributed onto designated LAN segments.
