<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration files contain a list of variable
|
|
assignments, separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose
|
|
first non-whitespace character is <literal>#</literal> or
|
|
<literal>;</literal> are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that either <literal>/</literal> or
|
|
<literal>.</literal> may be used as separators within sysctl
|
|
variable names. If the first separator is a slash, remaining
|
|
slashes and dots are left intact. If the first separator is a dot,
|
|
dots and slashes are interchanged.
|
|
<literal>kernel.domainname=foo</literal> and
|
|
<literal>kernel/domainname=foo</literal> are equivalent and will
|
|
cause <literal>foo</literal> to be written to
|
|
<filename>/proc/sys/kernel/domainname</filename>. Either
|
|
<literal>net.ipv4.conf.enp3s0/200.forwarding</literal> or
|
|
<literal>net/ipv4/conf/enp3s0.200/forwarding</literal> may be used
|
|
to refer to
|
|
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/enp3s0.200/forwarding</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Any access permission errors and attempts to write variables not defined on the local system are
|
|
logged, but do not cause the service to fail. Moreover, if a variable assignment is prefixed with a
|
|
single <literal>-</literal> character, failure to set the variable will be logged, but will not cause the
|
|
service to fail. All other errors when setting variables cause the service to return failure at the end
|
|
(other variables are still processed).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The settings configured with <filename>sysctl.d</filename>
|
|
files will be applied early on boot. The network
|
|
interface-specific options will also be applied individually for
|
|
each network interface as it shows up in the system. (More
|
|
specifically, <filename>net.ipv4.conf.*</filename>,
|
|
<filename>net.ipv6.conf.*</filename>,
|
|
<filename>net.ipv4.neigh.*</filename> and
|
|
<filename>net.ipv6.neigh.*</filename>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Many sysctl parameters only become available when certain
|
|
kernel modules are loaded. Modules are usually loaded on demand,
|
|
e.g. when certain hardware is plugged in or network brought up.
|
|
This means that
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sysctl.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
which runs during early boot will not configure such parameters if
|
|
they become available after it has run. To set such parameters, it
|
|
is recommended to add an
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
rule to set those parameters when they become available.
|
|
Alternatively, a slightly simpler and less efficient option is to
|
|
add the module to
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>modules-load.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
causing it to be loaded statically before sysctl settings are
|
|
applied (see example below).</para>
