Catena Ansible Role: systemd-networkd

Manage system network with systemd using systemd-networkd, a system service that manages networks. It detects and configures network devices as they appear, as well as creating virtual network devices. Low-level link settings can be set independently of networks.

Role variables

Variable	Default	Info
catena_network	[]	Apply a network configuration for a matching device.
catena_netdev	[]	Create a virtual network device for a matching environment.
catena_link	[]	Create link settings. When a network device appears, udev will look for the first matching.
catena_network_cleanup	no	Remove existing configuration files: /etc/systemd/network/{*.network}{*.netdev}{*.link}
