I've just looked at the arch-general archive. You missed out on the description of the unit "My utterly non-standard network setup"... This is the non-systemd version of his network script: <begin> #!/usr/bin/zsh down=1 while [[ ${down} -ne 0 ]] do /usr/sbin/ip link eth0 up down=${?} sleep 1 done /usr/sbin/ip link show down=1 while [[ ${down} -ne 0 ]] do /usr/sbin/dhcpcd eth0 down=${?} sleep 1 done for i in 74.207.225.79/32 74.207.227.150/32 173.230.137.73/32 173.230.137.76/32 do print "${i}" down=1 while [[ ${down} -ne 0 ]] do /usr/sbin/ip addr add "${i}" dev eth0 down=${?} sleep 1 done done print "2600:3c02::f03c:91ff:fe96:64e2/64" down=1 while [[ ${down} -ne 0 ]] do /usr/sbin/ip -6 addr add 2600:3c02::f03c:91ff:fe96:64e2/64 dev eth0 down=${?} sleep 1 done for j in $(seq 0 1) do for i in $(seq 0 9) a b c d e f do print "2600:3c02::02:70${j}${i}/6" down=1 while [[ ${down} -ne 0 ]] do /usr/sbin/ip -6 addr add "2600:3c02::02:70${j}${i}/64" dev eth0 down=${?} sleep 1 done done done /usr/sbin/ip address show #for i in 74.207.225.1 74.207.227.1 173.230.137.1 #do #/usr/sbin/ip route add "${i}/24" via "${i}" #done /usr/sbin/ip route add default via 173.230.137.1 /usr/sbin/ip -6 route add ::/0 via fe80::1 /usr/sbin/ip route show </end> Most users of a distribution don't have to write init scripts or systemd units. The "%i" is used because you can have a "<name>@.service" unit and create a symlink to it with "<name>@ethX.service" and "%i" will be replaced by "ethX". I don't see the point in this particular case - unless the goal's to allow you to re-assign those ip settings to a different nic simply by renaming one file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
