NAME

       systemd-timesyncd.service, systemd-timesyncd - Network Time Synchronization

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-timesyncd.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-timesyncd is a system service that may be used to synchronize the local system clock with a remote Network Time Protocol server. It
       also saves the local time to disk every time the clock has been synchronized and uses this to possibly advance the system realtime clock on
       subsequent reboots to ensure it monotonically advances even if the system lacks a battery-buffered RTC chip.

       The systemd-timesyncd service specifically implements only SNTP. This minimalistic service will set the system clock for large offsets or
       slowly adjust it for smaller deltas. More complex use cases are not covered by systemd-timesyncd.

       The NTP servers contacted are determined from the global settings in timesyncd.conf(5), the per-link static settings in .network files, and
       the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See systemd.network(5) for more details.

       timedatectl(1)'s set-ntp command may be used to enable and start, or disable and stop this service.

NAME

       systemd-networkd.service, systemd-networkd - Network manager

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-networkd.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-networkd is a system service that manages networks. It detects and configures network devices as they appear, as well as creating
       virtual network devices.

       To configure low-level link settings independently of networks, see systemd.link(5).

       systemd-networkd will create network devices based on the configuration in systemd.netdev(5) files, respecting the [Match] sections in
       those files.

       systemd-networkd will manage network addresses and routes for any link for which it finds a .network file with an appropriate [Match]
       section, see systemd.network(5). For those links, it will flush existing network addresses and routes when bringing up the device. Any
       links not matched by one of the .network files will be ignored. It is also possible to explicitly tell systemd-networkd to ignore a link by
       using Unmanaged=yes option, see systemd.network(5).

       When systemd-networkd exits, it generally leaves existing network devices and configuration intact. This makes it possible to transition
       from the initrams and to restart the service without breaking connectivity. This also means that when configuration is updated and
       systemd-networkd is restarted, netdev interfaces for which configuration was removed will not be dropped, and may need to be cleaned up
       manually.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       The configuration files are read from the files located in the system network directory /lib/systemd/network, the volatile runtime network
       directory /run/systemd/network and the local administration network directory /etc/systemd/network.

       Networks are configured in .network files, see systemd.network(5), and virtual network devices are configured in .netdev files, see
       systemd.netdev(5).
