<title>Description</title>
<para>At boot,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sysctl.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
reads configuration files from the above directories to configure
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
kernel parameters.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<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>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>
