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.

98 This variable can be helpful in diagnosing mistakes when

119 The name of the script that should be used as the

126 get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late

147 Extreme care should be taken when changing this value,
148 and before changing it one should ensure that there are
149 adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot
150 (such as physical contact with the machine,
151 or reliable remote console access).
152 .It Va always_force_depends
156 scripts use the force_depend function to check whether required
157 services are already running, and to start them if necessary.
158 By default during boot time this check is bypassed if the
159 required service is enabled in
160 .Pa /etc/rc.conf[.local] .
161 Setting this option will bypass that check at boot time and
162 always test whether or not the service is actually running.
163 Enabling this option is likely to increase your boot time if
164 services are enabled that utilize the force_depend check.
169 no swapfile is installed, otherwise the value is used as the full

1442 privacy addresses will be generated for each IPv6
1443 interface as described in RFC 4941.
1444 .It Va ipv6_network_interfaces
1446 This is the IPv6 equivalent of
1447 .Va network_interfaces .
1448 Normally manual configuration of this variable is not needed.
1450 .It Va ipv6_cpe_wanif
1452 If the variable is set to an interface name,
1456 .Dq inet6 -no_radr accept_rtadv
1457 will be added to the specified interface automatically before evaluating
1458 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 ,
1462 .Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3
1464 .Va net.inet6.ip6.no_radr
1467 This means the specified interface will accept ICMPv6 Router
1468 Advertisement messages on that link and add the discovered
1469 routers into the Default Router List.
1470 While the other interfaces can still accept RA messages if the
1471 .Dq inet6 accept_rtadv
1472 option is specified, adding
1473 routes into the Default Router List will be disabled by
1480 Note that ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages will be
1482 .Va net.inet6.ip6.forwarding
1484 .Pq packet forwarding is enabled
1486 .Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3
1491 .It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
1493 IPv6 functionality on an interface should be configured by
1494 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 ,
1495 instead of setting ifconfig parameters in
1496 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface .
1497 If this variable is empty, all of IPv6 configurations on the
1498 specified interface by other variables such as
1499 .Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac
1502 Aliases should be set by
1503 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
1509 ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64"
1510 ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:2::1 prefixlen 64"
1513 Interfaces that have an
1514 .Dq Li inet6 accept_rtadv
1516 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
1517 setting will be automatically configured by SLAAC
1518 .Pq StateLess Address AutoConfiguration
1524 Note that a link-local address will be automatically configured in
1525 addition to the configured global-scope addresses because the IPv6
1526 specifications require it on each link.
1527 The address is calculated from the MAC address by using an algorithm
1534 If only a link-local address is needed on the interface,
1535 the following configuration can be used:
1537 ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal"
1540 A link-local address can also be configured manually.
1541 This is useful for the default router address of an IPv6 router
1542 so that it does not change when the network interface
1546 ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 fe80::1 prefixlen 64"
1548 .It Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1550 If one or more prefixes are defined in
1551 .Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
1552 addresses based on each prefix and the EUI-64 interface index will be
1553 configured on that interface.
1554 Note that this variable will be ignored when
1555 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
1558 For example, the following configuration
1560 ipv6_prefix_ed0="2001:db8:1:0 2001:db8:2:0"
1563 is equivalent to the following:
1565 ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:1:: eui64 prefixlen 64"
1566 ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet6 2001:db8:1:: prefixlen 64 anycast"
1567 ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet6 2001:db8:2:: eui64 prefixlen 64"
1568 ifconfig_ed0_alias3="inet6 2001:db8:2:: prefixlen 64 anycast"
1571 These Subnet-Router anycast addresses will be added only when
1572 .Va ipv6_gateway_enable
1574 .It Va ipv6_default_interface
1578 this is the default output interface for scoped addresses.
1579 This works only with ipv6_gateway_enable="NO".
1580 .It Va ip6addrctl_enable
1582 This variable is to enable configuring default address selection policy table
1584 The table can be specified in another variable

1588 the following keywords can be specified:

1631 .It Va cloned_interfaces
1633 Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to create on this host.
