.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sysctl
|
|
.Nd system information variables
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
library function and the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
utility are used to get and set values of system variables, maintained
|
|
by the kernel.
|
|
The variables are organized in a tree and identified by a sequence of
|
|
numbers, conventionally separated by dots with the topmost identifier
|
|
at the left side.
|
|
The numbers have corresponding text names.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr sysctlnametomib 3
|
|
function or the
|
|
.Fl M
|
|
argument to the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
utility can be used to convert the text representation to the
|
|
numeric one.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The individual sysctl variables are described below, both the textual
|
|
and numeric form where applicable.
|
|
The textual names can be used as argument to the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
utility and in the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/sysctl.conf .
|
|
The numeric names are usually defined as preprocessor constants and
|
|
are intended for use by programs.
|
|
Every such constant expands to one integer, which identifies the
|
|
sysctl variable relative to the upper level of the tree.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
manual page for programming examples.
|
|
.Sh Top level names
|
|
The top level names are defined with a CTL_ prefix in
|
|
.In sys/sysctl.h ,
|
|
and are as follows.
|
|
The next and subsequent levels down are found in the include files
|
|
listed here, and described in separate sections below.
|
|
.Bl -column security CTL_SECURITY "Next level names" "High kernel limits"

|

|
.Sh The debug.* subtree
|
|
The debugging variables vary from system to system.
|
|
A debugging variable may be added or deleted without need to recompile
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to know about it.
|
|
Each time it runs,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
gets the list of debugging variables from the kernel and
|
|
displays their current values.
|
|
The system defines twenty
|
|
.Va ( struct ctldebug )
|
|
variables named
|
|
.Dv debug0
|
|
through
|
|
.Dv debug19 .
|
|
They are declared as separate variables so that they can be
|
|
individually initialized at the location of their associated variable.
|
|
The loader prevents multiple use of the same variable by issuing errors
|
|
if a variable is initialized in more than one place.
|
|
For example, to export the variable
|
|
.Dv dospecialcheck
|
|
as a debugging variable, the following declaration would be used:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
int dospecialcheck = 1;
|
|
struct ctldebug debug5 = { "dospecialcheck", \*[Am]dospecialcheck };
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the dynamic implementation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
currently in use largely makes this particular
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface obsolete.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
.\" and
|
|
.\" .Xr sysctl 9
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.Sh The vfs.* subtree
|
|
A distinguished second level name,
|
|
.Li vfs.generic ( VFS_GENERIC ) ,
|
|
is used to get general information about all filesystems.
|
|
It has the following third level identifiers:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width compact
|
|
.It vfs.generic.maxtypenum ( VFS_MAXTYPENUM )
|
|
The highest valid filesystem type number.
|
|
.It vfs.generic.conf ( VFS_CONF )
|
|
Returns configuration information about the file-system type given as a fourth
|
|
level identifier.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The remaining second level identifiers are the file-system names, identified
|
|
by the type number returned by a
|
|
.Xr statvfs 2
|
|
call or from
|
|
.Li vfs.generic.conf .
|
|
The third level identifiers available for each filesystem
|
|
are given in the header file that defines the mount
|
|
argument structure for that filesystem.
|
|
.Sh The hw.* subtree
|
|
The string and integer information available for the
|
|
.Li hw
|

|
|
.It Li carp.arpbalance
|
|
If set to any value other than 0, the ARP balancing functionality of
|
|
.Xr carp 4
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
When ARP requests are received for an IP address which is part of any virtual
|
|
host, carp will hash the source IP in the ARP request to select one of the
|
|
virtual hosts from the set of all the virtual hosts which have that IP address.
|
|
The master of that host will respond with the correct virtual MAC address.
|
|
Disabled by default.

.It Li carp.preempt
|
|
If set to 0,
|
|
.Xr carp 4
|
|
will not attempt to become master if it is receiving advertisements from

|
|
This cannot be set to less than 1024 or greater than 65535.
|
|
.It Li ip.checkinterface
|
|
If set to non-zero, the host will reject packets addressed to it
|
|
that arrive on an interface not bound to that address.
|
|
Currently, this must be disabled if ipnat is used to translate the
|
|
destination address to another local interface, or if addresses
|
|
are added to the loopback interface instead of the interface where
|
|
the packets for those packets are received.
|

|
|
The default value is 256.
|
|
.It Li ip.maxfragpackets
|
|
The maximum number of fragmented packets the node will accept.
|
|
0 means that the node will not accept any fragmented packets.
|
|
\-1 means that the node will accept as many fragmented packets as it receives.
|
|
The flag is provided basically for avoiding possible DoS attacks.
|
|
.It Li ip.mtudisc
|
|
If set to 1, enables Path MTU Discovery (RFC 1191).
|
|
When Path MTU Discovery is enabled, the transmitted TCP segment
|
|
size will be determined by the advertised maximum segment size
|
|
(MSS) from the remote end, as constrained by the path MTU.
|
|
If MTU Discovery is disabled, the transmitted segment size will
|
|
never be greater than
|
|
.Li tcp.mssdflt
|
|
(the local maximum segment size).
|
|
.It Li ip.mtudisctimeout
|
|
The number of seconds in which a route added by the Path MTU
|
|
Discovery engine will time out.

MTU Discovery engine will attempt to probe a larger path MTU.
|
|
.It Li ip.random_id
|
|
Assign random ip_id values.
|
|
.It Li ip.redirect
|
|
If set to 1, ICMP redirects may be sent by the host.

This option is ignored unless the host is routing IP packets,
|
|
and should normally be enabled on all systems.
|
|
.It Li ip.subnetsarelocal
|
|
If set to 1, subnets are to be considered local addresses.
|
|
.It Li ip.ttl
|
|
The maximum time-to-live (hop count) value for an IP packet sourced by
|
|
the system.
|
|
This value applies to normal transport protocols, not to ICMP.
|
|
.It Li icmp.errppslimit
|
|
The variable specifies the maximum number of outgoing ICMP error messages,
|
|
per second.
|
|
ICMP error messages that exceeded the value are subject to rate limitation
|
|
and will not go out from the node.
|
|
Negative value disables rate limitation.
|
|
.It Li icmp.maskrepl
|
|
If set to 1, ICMP network mask requests are to be answered.
|
|
.It Li icmp.rediraccept
|
|
If set to non-zero, the host will accept ICMP redirect packets.
|
|
Note that routers will never accept ICMP redirect packets,
|
|
and the variable is meaningful on IP hosts only.
|
|
.It Li icmp.redirtimeout
|
|
The variable specifies lifetime of routing entries generated by incoming
|
|
ICMP redirect.
|
|
This defaults to 600 seconds.

|
If set to 1, enables responding to ICMP echo or timestamp request to the
|
|
broadcast address.
|
|
.It Li tcp.ack_on_push
|
|
If set to 1, TCP is to immediately transmit an ACK upon reception of
|
|
a packet with PUSH set.
|
|
This can avoid losing a round trip time in some rare situations,
|
|
but has the caveat of potentially defeating TCP's delayed ACK algorithm.
|
|
Use of this option is generally not recommended, but
|
|
the variable exists in case your configuration really needs it.
|
|
.It Li tcp.compat_42
|
|
If set to 1, enables work-arounds for bugs in the 4.2BSD TCP implementation.
|
|
Use of this option is not recommended, although it may be
|
|
required in order to communicate with extremely old TCP implementations.
|
|
.It Li tcp.cwm
|
|
If set to 1, enables use of the Hughes/Touch/Heidemann Congestion Window
|
|
Monitoring algorithm.
|
|
This algorithm prevents line-rate bursts of packets that could
|
|
otherwise occur when data begins flowing on an idle TCP connection.
|
|
These line-rate bursts can contribute to network and router congestion.
|
|
This can be particularly useful on World Wide Web servers
|
|
which support HTTP/1.1, which has lingering connections.
|
|
.It Li tcp.cwm_burstsize
|
|
The Congestion Window Monitoring allowed burst size, in terms

|
.It Li tcp.do_loopback_cksum
|
|
Perform TCP checksum on loopback.
|
|
.It Li tcp.init_win
|
|
A value indicating the TCP initial congestion window.
|
|
If this value is 0, an auto-tuning algorithm designed to use an initial
|
|
window of approximately 4K bytes is in use.
|
|
Otherwise, this value indicates a fixed number of packets.
|
|
.It Li tcp.init_win_local
|
|
Like
|
|
.Li tcp.init_win ,
|
|
but used when communicating with hosts on a local network.
|
|
.It Li tcp.keepcnt
|
|
Number of keepalive probes sent before declaring a connection dead.
|
|
If set to zero, there is no limit;
|
|
keepalives will be sent until some kind of
|
|
response is received from the peer.
|
|
.It Li tcp.keepidle
|
|
Time a connection must be idle before keepalives are sent (if keepalives
|
|
are enabled for the connection).
|
|
See also tcp.slowhz.
|
|
.It Li tcp.keepintvl
|
|
Time after a keepalive probe is sent until, in the absence of any response,
|
|
another probe is sent.
|
|
See also tcp.slowhz.
|
|
.It Li tcp.log_refused
|
|
If set to 1, refused TCP connections to the host will be logged.
|
|
.It Li tcp.keepinit
|
|
Timeout in seconds during connection establishment.
|
|
.It Li tcp.mss_ifmtu
|
|
If set to 1, TCP calculates the outgoing maximum segment size based on
|
|
the MTU of the appropriate interface.
|
|
If set to 0, it is calculated based on the greater of the MTU of the
|
|
interface, and the largest (non-loopback) interface MTU on the system.
|
|
.It Li tcp.mssdflt
|
|
The default maximum segment size both advertised to the peer
|
|
and to use when either the peer does not advertise a maximum segment size to
|
|
us during connection setup or Path MTU Discovery
|
|
.Li ( ip.mtudisc )
|
|
is disabled.
|
|
Do not change this value unless you really know what you are doing.

|
|
and will not go out from the node.
|
|
Negative value disables rate limitation.
|
|

.It Li tcp.syn_bucket_limit
|
|
The maximum number of entries allowed per hash bucket in the TCP
|
|
compressed state engine.
|
|
.It Li tcp.syn_cache_limit

When IPv6 path MTU discovery happens, we keep path MTU information into
|
|
the routing table.
|
|
If the number of routing table entries exceed the value,
|
|
the kernel will not attempt to keep the path MTU information.

in seconds.
|
|
.It Li icmp6.nd6_maxnudhint
|
|
IPv6 neighbor discovery permits upper layer protocols to supply reachability
|
|
hints, to avoid unnecessary neighbor discovery exchanges.
|
|
The variable defines the number of consecutive hints the neighbor discovery
|
|
layer will take.
|
|
For example, by setting the variable to 3, neighbor discovery layer
|
|
will take 3 consecutive hints in maximum.
