Managing the Network Configuration

The network service, which is enabled by default, starts when the system boots. You manage the network service by using systemd commands, such as systemd-networkd, systemd-resolvd, and networkctl.

You can check the status of the network service by running the following command:

systemctl status systemd-networkd

The following is a result of the command:

* systemd-networkd.service - Network Service
