Example Playbook

1. Configure a network profile

systemd_networkd_network:
  eth0:
    - Match:
      - Name: "eth0"
    - Network:
      - DHCP: "no"
      - IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements: "no"
      - DNS: 8.8.8.8
      - DNS: 8.8.4.4
      - Domains: "your.tld"

      - Address: "192.0.2.176/24"
      - Gateway: "192.0.2.1"

      - Address: "2001:db8::302/64"
      - Address: "fc00:0:0:103::302/64"
      - Gateway: "2001:db8::1"

It will create a eth0.network profile in /etc/systemd/network/, and enable systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved.

Every key under systemd_networkd_* corresponds to the profile name to create (.network in systemd_networkd_network, .link in systemd_networkd_link, etc…). Then every key under the profile name is a section documented in systemd-networkd, which contains the couples of option: value for your profile. Each couple is then converted to the format option=value.

2. Configure a bonding interface

systemd_networkd_netdev:
  bond0:
    - NetDev:
      - Name: "bond0"
      - Kind: "bond"
    - Bond:
      - Mode: "802.3ad"
      - LACPTransmitRate: "fast"

systemd_networkd_network:
  bond0:
    - Match:
      - Name: "eth*"
    - Network:
      - DHCP: "yes"
      - Bond: "bond0"

What will create an LACP bond interface bond0, containing all interfaces starting by eth.
