systemd-network-generator.service
/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.
