variable assignments, separated by newlines. Empty
lines and lines whose first non-whitespace character
is "<code class="literal">#</code>" or "<code class="literal">;</code>" are
ignored.</p><p>Note that either "<code class="literal">/</code>" or
"<code class="literal">.</code>" 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. "<code class="literal">kernel.domainname=foo</code>"
and "<code class="literal">kernel/domainname=foo</code>" are
equivalent and will cause "<code class="literal">foo</code>" to
be written to
<code class="filename">/proc/sys/kernel/domainname</code>.
Either
"<code class="literal">net.ipv4.conf.enp3s0/200.forwarding</code>"
or
"<code class="literal">net/ipv4/conf/enp3s0.200/forwarding</code>"
may be used to refer to
<code class="filename">/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/enp3s0.200/forwarding</code>.
</p><p>The settings configured with
<code class="filename">sysctl.d</code> 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,
<code class="filename">net.ipv4.conf.*</code>,
<code class="filename">net.ipv6.conf.*</code>,
<code class="filename">net.ipv4.neigh.*</code> and <code class="filename">net.ipv6.neigh.*</code>).</p><p>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
<a href="systemd-sysctl.service.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd-sysctl.service</span>(8)</span></a> 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 <a href="udev.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">udev</span>(7)</span></a> rule to set those parameters when they become
available. Alternatively, a slightly simpler and
less efficient option is to add the module to
<a href="modules-load.d.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">modules-load.d</span>(5)</span></a>, causing it to be loaded statically
before sysctl settings are applied (see
example below).</p></div><div class="refsection"><a name="confd"></a><h2>Configuration Directories and Precedence</h2><p>Configuration files are read from directories in
<code class="filename">/etc/</code>, <code class="filename">/run/</code>, and
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>, in order of precedence.
Each configuration file in these configuration directories shall be named in
the style of <code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em>.conf</code>.
Files in <code class="filename">/etc/</code> override files with the same name in
<code class="filename">/run/</code> and <code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>. Files in
<code class="filename">/run/</code> override files with the same name in
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>.</p><p>Packages should install their configuration files in
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>. Files in <code class="filename">/etc/</code> are
reserved for the local administrator, who may use this logic to override the
configuration files installed by vendor packages. All configuration files
are sorted by their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which of
the directories they reside in. If multiple files specify the same option,
the entry in the file with the lexicographically latest name will take
precedence. It is recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number
and a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.</p><p>If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied by
the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to
<code class="filename">/dev/null</code> in the configuration directory in
<code class="filename">/etc/</code>, with the same filename as the vendor
configuration file.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idm140180416148912"></a><h2 id="Examples">Examples<a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this headline" href="#Examples"></a></h2><div class="example"><a name="idm140180416148240"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 1. Set kernel YP domain name</b></p><div class="example-contents"><p><code class="filename">/etc/sysctl.d/domain-name.conf</code>:
