<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><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>
