38 started up at system initial boot time.
39 In new installations, the
41 file is generally initialized by the system installation utility,
46 is not to run commands or perform system startup actions
48 Instead, it is included by the
49 various generic startup scripts in
51 which conditionalize their
52 internal actions according to the settings found there.
56 file is included from the file
57 .Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf ,
58 which specifies the default settings for all the available options.
59 Options need only be specified in
61 when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults.
63 .Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
64 is used to override settings in
66 for historical reasons.

106 The early stage should contain all the services needed to
107 get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late
108 stage can include scripts contained in the directories
111 variable (see below).
112 Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are
113 mountcritlocal for the typical system,
114 and mountcritremote if the system needs remote file
115 systems mounted to get access to the
117 directories; for example when
124 NETWORKING is likely to be an appropriate value.
125 Extreme care should be taken when changing this value,
126 and before changing it one should ensure that there are
127 adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot
128 (such as physical contact with the machine,
129 or reliable remote console access).

1035 .Va network_interfaces
1036 variable to anything other than the default is deprecated.
1037 Interfaces that the administrator wishes to store configration for,
1038 but not start at boot should be configured with the

1060 One can configure more than one IPv4 address with the
1061 .Va ipv4_addrs_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1063 One or more IP addresses must be provided in Classless Inter-Domain
1064 Routing (CIDR) address notation, whose last byte can be a range like
1066 In this case the address 192.168.0.5 will be configured with the
1067 netmask /24 and the addresses 192.168.0.6 to 192.168.0.23 with
1068 the non-conflicting netmask /32 as explained in the
1071 With the interface in question being
1073 an example could look like:
1075 ipv4_addrs_ed0="192.168.0.1/24 192.168.1.1-5/28"
1078 It is also possible to add IP alias entries using
1081 Assuming that the interface in question was
1084 something like this:
1086 ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff"
1087 ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
1092 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
1093 entry that is found,
1094 its contents are passed to

1102 ifconfig_ed0_alias4="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
1105 Then note that alias4 would
1107 be added since the search would
1108 stop with the missing

1151 Also, if your interface needs WPA authentication, it is possible to add
1154 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1157 Finally, you can add
1159 options in this variable, in addition to the
1160 .Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
1162 For instance, to initialize the
1164 device via DHCP, using WPA authentication and 802.11b mode, it is
1165 possible to use something like:
1167 ifconfig_wi0="DHCP WPA mode 11b"
1171 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1172 form, a fallback variable
1173 .Va ifconfig_DEFAULT
1175 It will be used for all interfaces with no
1176 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1178 This is intended to replace the no longer supported
1182 It is also possible to rename interface by doing:

1185 ifconfig_net0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000"
1187 .It Va ipv6_network_interfaces
1189 This is the IPv6 equivalent of
1190 .Va network_interfaces .
1191 Instead of setting the ifconfig variables as
1192 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1193 they should be set as
1194 .Va ipv6_ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface .
1195 Aliases should be set as
1196 .Va ipv6_ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n .
1197 .Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1199 Interfaces that do not have a
1200 .Va ipv6_ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1201 setting will be auto configured by
1204 .Va ipv6_gateway_enable
1207 Note that the IPv6 networking code does not support the
1208 .Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
1210 .It Va ipv6_default_interface
1214 this is the default output interface for scoped addresses.
1215 Now this works only for IPv6 link local multicast addresses.
