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.
