 GENERAL OPTIONS

 details.
 
 
+OPTIONS FOR `macvlan' CONNECTIONS
+---------------------------------
+The name of the macvlan interface is specified in 'Interface'. The
+underlying physical interface is specified in 'BindsToInterfaces'.
+Hence, for macvlan profiles, 'BindsToInterfaces' contains the name of a
+single network interface.
+
+All options for connections of the `ethernet' type are understood for
+connections of the `macvlan' type. Next to the *ip options*, the
+following are understood for connections of the `macvlan' type:
+
+'Mode='::
+    Either `bridge', `vepa', `private', or `passthru'. See *ip*(8) for
+    details.
+
+'MACAddress='::
+    Optional static MAC address for the `macvlan' type link.
+
+
 SPECIAL QUOTING RULES
 ---------------------
 Configuration files for *wpa_supplicant* use non-standard quoting.
