<p><code>nm-devices</code> are used in situations where Netplan doesn’t support the connection type. The raw configuration expected by NetworkManager can be defined and will be passed as is (passthrough) to the <code>.nmconnection</code> file. Users will not normally use this type of device.</p>
</blockquote></li>
</ul>
<p>All the properties for all the device types will be described in the next sections.</p>
<h2 id="properties-for-physical-device-types">Properties for physical device types</h2>
<p>These properties are used with physical devices such as Ethernet and Wifi network interfaces.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Some options will not work reliably for devices matched by name only and rendered by networkd, due to interactions with device renaming in udev. Match devices by MAC when setting options like: <code>wakeonlan</code> or <code>*-offload</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>match</strong> (mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This selects a subset of available physical devices by various hardware properties. The following configuration will then apply to all matching devices, as soon as they appear. <em>All</em> specified properties must match.</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>name</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Current interface name. Globs are supported, and the primary use case for matching on names, as selecting one fixed name can be more easily achieved with having no <code>match:</code> at all and just using the ID (see above). (<code>NetworkManager</code>: as of v1.14.0)</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>macaddress</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Device’s 6-byte permanent MAC address in the form “XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX” or 20 bytes for InfiniBand devices (IPoIB). Globs are not allowed. This doesn’t match virtual MAC addresses for veth, bridge, bond, vlan, …</p>

<li><p><strong>driver</strong> (scalar or sequence of scalars) – sequence since <strong>0.104</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Kernel driver name, corresponding to the <code>DRIVER</code> udev property. A sequence of globs is supported, any of which must match. Matching on driver is <em>only</em> supported with networkd.</p>

</ul></li>
<li><p><strong>set-name</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When matching on unique properties such as path or MAC, or with additional assumptions such as “there will only ever be one wifi device”, match rules can be written so that they only match one device. Then this property can be used to give that device a more specific/desirable/nicer name than the default from udev’s ifnames. Any additional device that satisfies the match rules will then fail to get renamed and keep the original kernel name (and dmesg will show an error).</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>wakeonlan</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Enable wake on LAN. Off by default.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>emit-lldp</strong> (bool) – since <strong>0.99</strong></p>

<p>(networkd backend only) Whether to emit LLDP packets. Off by default.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>receive-checksum-offload</strong> (bool) – since <strong>0.104</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) If set to true (false), the hardware offload for checksumming of ingress network packets is enabled (disabled). When unset, the kernel’s default will be used.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>transmit-checksum-offload</strong> (bool) – since <strong>0.104</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) If set to true (false), the hardware offload for checksumming of egress network packets is enabled (disabled). When unset, the kernel’s default will be used.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>tcp-segmentation-offload</strong> (bool) – since <strong>0.104</strong></p>
<blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) If set to true (false), the Large Receive Offload (LRO) is enabled (disabled). When unset, the kernel’s default will be used.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>openvswitch</strong> (mapping) – since <strong>0.100</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>This provides additional configuration for the openvswitch network device. If Open vSwitch is not available on the system, netplan treats the presence of <code>openvswitch</code> configuration as an error.</p>
<p>Any supported network device that is declared with the <code>openvswitch</code> mapping (or any bond/bridge that includes an interface with an openvswitch configuration) will be created in openvswitch instead of the defined renderer. In the case of a <code>vlan</code> definition declared the same way, netplan will create a fake VLAN bridge in openvswitch with the requested <code>vlan</code> properties.</p>

<ul>
<li><p><strong>renderer</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Use the given networking backend for this definition. Currently supported are <code>networkd</code> and <code>NetworkManager</code>. This property can be specified globally in <code>network:</code>, for a device type (in e. g. <code>ethernets:</code>) or for a particular device definition. Default is <code>networkd</code>.</p>
<p>(Since 0.99) The <code>renderer</code> property has one additional acceptable value for vlan objects (i. e. defined in <code>vlans:</code>): <code>sriov</code>. If a vlan is defined with the <code>sriov</code> renderer for an SR-IOV Virtual Function interface, this causes netplan to set up a hardware VLAN filter for it. There can be only one defined per VF.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp4</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Enable DHCP for IPv4. Off by default.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp6</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Enable DHCP for IPv6. Off by default. This covers both stateless DHCP - where the DHCP server supplies information like DNS nameservers but not the IP address - and stateful DHCP, where the server provides both the address and the other information.</p>
<p>If you are in an IPv6-only environment with completely stateless auto-configuration (SLAAC with RDNSS), this option can be set to cause the interface to be brought up. (Setting accept-ra alone is not sufficient.) Auto-configuration will still honor the contents of the router advertisement and only use DHCP if requested in the RA.</p>
<p>Note that <strong><code>rdnssd</code></strong>(8) is required to use RDNSS with networkd. No extra software is required for NetworkManager.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>ipv6-mtu</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.98</strong> &gt; Set the IPv6 MTU (only supported with <code>networkd</code> backend). Note &gt; that needing to set this is an unusual requirement. &gt; &gt; <strong>Requires feature: ipv6-mtu</strong></p></li>
<li><p><strong>ipv6-privacy</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Enable IPv6 Privacy Extensions (RFC 4941) for the specified interface, and prefer temporary addresses. Defaults to false - no privacy extensions. There is currently no way to have a private address but prefer the public address.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>link-local</strong> (sequence of scalars)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Configure the link-local addresses to bring up. Valid options are ‘ipv4’ and ‘ipv6’, which respectively allow enabling IPv4 and IPv6 link local addressing. If this field is not defined, the default is to enable only IPv6 link-local addresses. If the field is defined but configured as an empty set, IPv6 link-local addresses are disabled as well as IPv4 link- local addresses.</p>
<p>This feature enables or disables link-local addresses for a protocol, but the actual implementation differs per backend. On networkd, this directly changes the behavior and may add an extra address on an interface. When using the NetworkManager backend, enabling link-local has no effect if the interface also has DHCP enabled.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable only IPv4 link-local: <code>link-local: [ ipv4 ]</code></li>
<li>Enable all link-local addresses: <code>link-local: [ ipv4, ipv6 ]</code></li>
<li>Disable all link-local addresses: <code>link-local: [ ]</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><strong>ignore-carrier</strong> (bool) – since <strong>0.104</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) Allow the specified interface to be configured even if it has no carrier.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>critical</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Designate the connection as “critical to the system”, meaning that special care will be taken by to not release the assigned IP when the daemon is restarted. (not recognized by NetworkManager)</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp-identifier</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) Sets the source of DHCPv4 client identifier. If <code>mac</code> is specified, the MAC address of the link is used. If this option is omitted, or if <code>duid</code> is specified, networkd will generate an RFC4361-compliant client identifier for the interface by combining the link’s IAID and DUID.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp4-overrides</strong> (mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) Overrides default DHCP behavior; see the <code>DHCP Overrides</code> section below.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>dhcp6-overrides</strong> (mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(networkd backend only) Overrides default DHCP behavior; see the <code>DHCP Overrides</code> section below.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>accept-ra</strong> (bool)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Accept Router Advertisement that would have the kernel configure IPv6 by itself. When enabled, accept Router Advertisements. When disabled, do not respond to Router Advertisements. If unset use the host kernel default setting.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>addresses</strong> (sequence of scalars and mappings)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Add static addresses to the interface in addition to the ones received through DHCP or RA. Each sequence entry is in CIDR notation, i. e. of the form <code>addr/prefixlen</code>. <code>addr</code> is an IPv4 or IPv6 address as recognized by <strong><code>inet_pton</code></strong>(3) and <code>prefixlen</code> the number of bits of the subnet.</p>
<p>For virtual devices (bridges, bonds, vlan) if there is no address configured and DHCP is disabled, the interface may still be brought online, but will not be addressable from the network.</p>
<p>In addition to the addresses themselves one can specify configuration parameters as mappings. Current supported options are:</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>lifetime</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.100</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Default: <code>forever</code>. This can be <code>forever</code> or <code>0</code> and corresponds to the <code>PreferredLifetime</code> option in <code>systemd-networkd</code>’s Address section. Currently supported on the <code>networkd</code> backend only.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>label</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.100</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>An IP address label, equivalent to the <code>ip address label</code> command. Currently supported on the <code>networkd</code> backend only.</p>
</blockquote></li>

<h2 id="properties-for-device-type-ethernets">Properties for device type <code>ethernets:</code></h2>
<p><strong>Status</strong>: Optional.</p>
<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: Use the <code>ethernets</code> key to configure Ethernet interfaces.</p>
<p><strong>Structure</strong>: The key consists of a mapping of Ethernet interface IDs. Each <code>ethernet</code> has a number of configuration options. You don’t need to define each interface by their name inside the <code>ethernets</code> mapping. You can use any ID that describes the interface and match the actual network card using the <code>match</code> key. The general configuration structure for Ethernets is shown below.</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb14"><pre class="sourceCode yaml"><code class="sourceCode yaml"><span id="cb14-1"><a href="#cb14-1" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="fu">network</span><span class="kw">:</span></span>

<span id="cb14-4"><a href="#cb14-4" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="at">      ...</span></span></code></pre></div>
<p><code>device-id</code> is the interface identifier. If you use the interface name as the ID, Netplan will match that interface.</p>
<p>Consider the example below. In this case, an interface called <code>eth0</code> will be configured with DHCP.</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb15"><pre class="sourceCode yaml"><code class="sourceCode yaml"><span id="cb15-1"><a href="#cb15-1" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="fu">network</span><span class="kw">:</span></span>

<p>The <code>device-id</code> can be any descriptive name your find meaningful. Although, if it doesn’t match a real interface name, you must use the property <code>match</code> to identify the device you want to configure.</p>
<p>The example below defines an Ethernet connection called <code>isp-interface</code> (supposedly an external interface connected to the Internet Service Provider) and uses <code>match</code> to apply the configuration to the physical device with MAC address <code>aa:bb:cc:00:11:22</code>.</p>

<p>Specify whether to use any ARP IP target being up as sufficient for a port to be considered up; or if all the targets must be up. This is only used for <code>active-backup</code> mode when <code>arp-validate</code> is enabled. Possible values are <code>any</code> and <code>all</code>.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>up-delay</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Specify the delay before enabling a link once the link is physically up. The default value is <code>0</code>. This maps to the UpDelaySec= property for the networkd renderer. This option is only valid for the miimon link monitor. If no time suffix is specified, the value will be interpreted as milliseconds.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>down-delay</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Specify the delay before disabling a link once the link has been lost. The default value is <code>0</code>. This maps to the DownDelaySec= property for the networkd renderer. This option is only valid for the miimon link monitor. If no time suffix is specified, the value will be interpreted as milliseconds.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>fail-over-mac-policy</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Set whether to set all ports to the same MAC address when adding them to the bond, or how else the system should handle MAC addresses. The possible values are <code>none</code>, <code>active</code>, and <code>follow</code>.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>gratuitous-arp</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Specify how many ARP packets to send after failover. Once a link is up on a new port, a notification is sent and possibly repeated if this value is set to a number greater than <code>1</code>. The default value is <code>1</code> and valid values are between <code>1</code> and <code>255</code>. This only affects <code>active-backup</code> mode.</p>
<p>For historical reasons, the misspelling <code>gratuitious-arp</code> is also accepted and has the same function.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>packets-per-member</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.106</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>In <code>balance-rr</code> mode, specifies the number of packets to transmit on a port before switching to the next. When this value is set to <code>0</code>, ports are chosen at random. Allowable values are between <code>0</code> and <code>65535</code>. The default value is <code>1</code>. This setting is only used in <code>balance-rr</code> mode.</p>
<p>Alias: <strong>packets-per-slave</strong> <!--- wokeignore:rule=slave --></p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>primary-reselect-policy</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Set the reselection policy for the primary port. On failure of the active port, the system will use this policy to decide how the new active port will be chosen and how recovery will be handled. The possible values are <code>always</code>, <code>better</code>, and <code>failure</code>.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>resend-igmp</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>In modes <code>balance-rr</code>, <code>active-backup</code>, <code>balance-tlb</code> and <code>balance-alb</code>, a failover can switch IGMP traffic from one port to another.</p>
<p>This parameter specifies how many IGMP membership reports are issued on a failover event. Values range from 0 to 255. 0 disables sending membership reports. Otherwise, the first membership report is sent on failover and subsequent reports are sent at 200ms intervals.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>learn-packet-interval</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Specify the interval between sending learning packets to each port. The value range is between <code>1</code> and <code>0x7fffffff</code>. The default value is <code>1</code>. This option only affects <code>balance-tlb</code> and <code>balance-alb</code> modes. Using the networkd renderer, this field maps to the LearnPacketIntervalSec= property. If no time suffix is specified, the value will be interpreted as seconds.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>primary</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Specify a device to be used as a primary port, or preferred device to use as a port for the bond (i.e. the preferred device to send data through), whenever it is available. This only affects <code>active-backup</code>, <code>balance-alb</code>, and <code>balance-tlb</code> modes.</p>

<h2 id="properties-for-device-type-tunnels">Properties for device type <code>tunnels:</code></h2>
<p><strong>Status</strong>: Optional.</p>
<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: Use the <code>tunnels</code> key to create virtual tunnel interfaces.</p>
<p><strong>Structure</strong>: The key consists of a mapping of tunnel interface names. Each <code>tunnel</code> requires the identification of the tunnel mode (see the section <code>mode</code> below for the list of supported modes). The general configuration structure for Tunnels is shown below.</p>

<p>When applied, a virtual interface called <code>tunnel0</code> will be created in the system. Its operation mode is defined by the property <code>mode</code>.</p>
<p>Tunnels allow traffic to pass as if it was between systems on the same local network, although systems may be far from each other but reachable via the Internet. They may be used to support IPv6 traffic on a network where the ISP does not provide the service, or to extend and “connect” separate local networks. Please see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_protocol" class="uri">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_protocol</a> for more general information about tunnels.</p>
<p>The specific settings for tunnels are defined below.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>mode</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the tunnel mode. Valid options are <code>sit</code>, <code>gre</code>, <code>ip6gre</code>, <code>ipip</code>, <code>ipip6</code>, <code>ip6ip6</code>, <code>vti</code>, <code>vti6</code>, <code>wireguard</code>, <code>vxlan</code>, <code>gretap</code> and <code>ip6gretap</code> modes. In addition, the <code>NetworkManager</code> backend supports <code>isatap</code> tunnels.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>local</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the address of the local endpoint of the tunnel. (For VXLAN) This should match one of the parent’s IP addresses or make use of the networkd special values.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>remote</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel or multicast group IP address for VXLAN.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>ttl</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.103</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Defines the Time To Live (TTL) of the tunnel. Takes a number in the range <code>1..255</code>.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>key</strong> (scalar or mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Define keys to use for the tunnel. The key can be a number or a dotted quad (an IPv4 address). For <code>wireguard</code> it can be a base64-encoded private key or (as of <code>networkd</code> v242+) an absolute path to a file, containing the private key (since 0.100). It is used for identification of IP transforms. This is only required for <code>vti</code> and <code>vti6</code> when using the networkd backend.</p>
<p>This field may be used as a scalar (meaning that a single key is specified and to be used for input, output and private key), or as a mapping, where you can further specify <code>input</code>/<code>output</code>/<code>private</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>input</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The input key for the tunnel</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>output</strong> (scalar)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The output key for the tunnel</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><p><strong>private</strong> (scalar) – since <strong>0.100</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>A base64-encoded private key required for WireGuard tunnels. When the <code>systemd-networkd</code> backend (v242+) is used, this can also be an absolute path to a file containing the private key.</p>
</blockquote></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><strong>keys</strong> (scalar or mapping)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Alternate name for the <code>key</code> field. See above.</p>
