I think this website covers what you want to do https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/257888/systemd-wait-for-network-interface-to-be-up-before-running-service systemctl list-units --no-pager | grep subsystem-net Then look for the device which matches the one you are listening to. Change the After=network.target to BindsTo=sys-devices-virtual-net-<device>.device After=sys-devices-virtual-net-<device>.device where <device> is the interface you found (aka eth2, br9, bond0 etc) > My host is CentOS8 x86_64. > > > Regards, > C.
