 .Dt RC.CONF 5
 .Os
 .Sh NAME
 .Nm rc.conf
 .Nd system configuration information
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The file
 .Nm
 contains descriptive information about the local host name, configuration
 details for any potential network interfaces and which services should be
 started up at system initial boot time.
 In new installations, the
 .Nm
 file is generally initialized by the system installation utility.
 .Pp
 The purpose of
 .Nm
 is not to run commands or perform system startup actions
 directly.
 Instead, it is included by the
 various generic startup scripts in
 .Pa /etc
 which conditionalize their
 internal actions according to the settings found there.
 .Pp
 The
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf
 file is included from the file
 .Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf ,
 which specifies the default settings for all the available options.
 Options need only be specified in
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf
 when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults.
 The file
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
 is used to override settings in
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf
 for historical reasons.
 .Pp
 In addition to
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
 you can also place smaller configuration files for each
 .Xr rc 8
 script in the
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf.d
 directory or
 .Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Pa /rc.conf.d
 directories specified in
 .Va local_startup ,
 which will be included by the
 .Va load_rc_config
 function.
 For jail configurations you could use the file
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/jail
 to store jail specific configuration options.
 If
 .Va local_startup
 contains
 .Pa /usr/local/etc/rc.d
 and
 .Pa /opt/conf ,
 .Pa /usr/local/rc.conf.d/jail
 and
 .Pa /opt/conf/rc.conf.d/jail
 will be loaded.
 If
 .Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Pa /rc.conf.d/ Ns Ao Ar name Ac
 is a directory,
 all of files in the directory will be loaded.
 Also see the
 .Va rc_conf_files
 variable below.
 .Pp
 Options are set with
 .Dq Ar name Ns Li = Ns Ar value
 assignments that use
 .Xr sh 1
 syntax.
 The following list provides a name and short description for each
 variable that can be set in the
 .Nm
 file:
 .Bl -tag -width indent-two
 .It Va rc_debug
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 enable output of debug messages from rc scripts.
 This variable can be helpful in diagnosing mistakes when
 editing or integrating new scripts.
 Beware that this produces copious output to the terminal and
 .Xr syslog 3 .
 .It Va rc_info
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li NO ,
 disable informational messages from the rc scripts.
 Informational messages are displayed when
 a condition that is not serious enough to warrant a warning or
 an error occurs.
 .It Va rc_startmsgs
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 show
 .Dq Starting foo:
 when faststart is used (e.g., at boot time).
 .It Va early_late_divider
 .Pq Vt str
 The name of the script that should be used as the
 delimiter between the
 .Dq early
 and
 .Dq late
 stages of the boot process.
 The early stage should contain all the services needed to
 get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late
 stage can include scripts contained in the directories
 listed in the
 .Va local_startup
 variable (see below).
 Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are
 .Pa mountcritlocal
 for the typical system, and
 .Pa mountcritremote
 if the system needs remote file
 systems mounted to get access to the
 .Va local_startup
 directories; for example when
 .Pa /usr/local
 is NFS mounted.
 For
 .Pa rc.conf
 within a
 .Xr jail 8
 .Pa NETWORKING
 is likely to be an appropriate value.
 Extreme care should be taken when changing this value,
 and before changing it one should ensure that there are
 adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot
 (such as physical contact with the machine,
 or reliable remote console access).
 .It Va always_force_depends
 .Pq Vt bool
 Various
 .Pa rc.d
 scripts use the force_depend function to check whether required
 services are already running, and to start them if necessary.
 By default during boot time this check is bypassed if the
 required service is enabled in
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf[.local] .
 Setting this option will bypass that check at boot time and
 always test whether or not the service is actually running.
 Enabling this option is likely to increase your boot time if
 services are enabled that utilize the force_depend check.
 .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _chroot
 .Pq Vt str
 .Xr chroot
 to this directory before running the service.
 .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _user
 .Pq Vt str
 Run the service under this user account.
 .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _group
 .Pq Vt str
 Run the chrooted service under this system group. Unlike the _user
 setting, this setting has no effect if the service is not chrooted.
 .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _fib
 .Pq Vt int
 The
 .Xr setfib 1
 value to run the service under.
 .It Ao Ar name Ac Ns Va _nice
 .Pq Vt int
 The
 .Xr nice 1
 value to run the service under.
 .It Va apm_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 enable support for Automatic Power Management with
 the
 .Xr apm 8
 command.
 .It Va apmd_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Run
 .Xr apmd 8
 to handle APM event from userland.
 This also enables support for APM.
 .It Va apmd_flags
 .Pq Vt str
 If
 .Va apmd_enable
 is set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 these are the flags to pass to the
 .Xr apmd 8
 daemon.
 .It Va devd_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Run
 .Xr devd 8
 to handle device added, removed or unknown events from the kernel.
 .It Va ddb_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Run
 .Xr ddb 8
 to install
 .Xr ddb 4
 scripts at boot time.
 .It Va ddb_config
 .Pq Vt str
 Configuration file for
 .Xr ddb 8 .
 Default
 .Pa /etc/ddb.conf .
 .It Va kld_list
 .Pq Vt str
 A list of kernel modules to load right after the local
 disks are mounted.
 Loading modules at this point in the boot process is
 much faster than doing it via
 .Pa /boot/loader.conf
 for those modules not necessary for mounting local disk.
 .It Va kldxref_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li NO
 by default.
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 to automatically rebuild
 .Pa linker.hints
 files with
 .Xr kldxref 8
 at boot time.
 .It Va kldxref_clobber
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li NO
 by default.
 If
 .Va kldxref_enable
 is true,
 setting to
 .Dq Li YES
 will overwrite existing
 .Pa linker.hints
 files at boot time.
 Otherwise,
 only missing
 .Pa linker.hints
 files are generated.
 .It Va kldxref_module_path
 .Pq Vt str
 Empty by default.
 A semi-colon
 .Pq Ql \&;
 delimited list of paths containing
 .Xr kld 4
 modules.
 If empty,
 the contents of the
 .Va kern.module_path
 .Xr sysctl 8
 are used.
 .It Va powerd_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 enable the system power control facility with the
 .Xr powerd 8
 daemon.
 .It Va powerd_flags
 .Pq Vt str
 If
 .Va powerd_enable
 is set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 these are the flags to pass to the
 .Xr powerd 8
 daemon.
 .It Va tmpmfs
 Controls the creation of a
 .Pa /tmp
 memory file system.
 Always happens if set to
 .Dq Li YES
 and never happens if set to
 .Dq Li NO .
 If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if
 .Pa /tmp
 is not writable.
 .It Va tmpsize
 Controls the size of a created
 .Pa /tmp
 memory file system.
 .It Va tmpmfs_flags
 Extra options passed to the
 .Xr mdmfs 8
 utility when the memory file system for
 .Pa /tmp
 is created.
 The default is
 .Dq Li "-S" ,
 which inhibits the use of softupdates on
 .Pa /tmp
 so that file system space is freed without delay
 after file truncation or deletion.
 See
 .Xr mdmfs 8
 for other options you can use in
 .Va tmpmfs_flags .
 .It Va varmfs
 Controls the creation of a
 .Pa /var
 memory file system.
 Always happens if set to
 .Dq Li YES
 and never happens if set to
 .Dq Li NO .
 If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if
 .Pa /var
 is not writable.
 .It Va varsize
 Controls the size of a created
 .Pa /var
 memory file system.
 .It Va varmfs_flags
 Extra options passed to the
 .Xr mdmfs 8
 utility when the memory file system for
 .Pa /var
 is created.
 The default is
 .Dq Li "-S" ,
 which inhibits the use of softupdates on
 .Pa /var
 so that file system space is freed without delay
 after file truncation or deletion.
 See
 .Xr mdmfs 8
 for other options you can use in
 .Va varmfs_flags .
 .It Va populate_var
 Controls the automatic population of the
 .Pa /var
 file system.
 Always happens if set to
 .Dq Li YES
 and never happens if set to
 .Dq Li NO .
 If set to anything else, a memory file system is created if
 .Pa /var
 is not writable.
 Note that this process requires access to certain commands in
 .Pa /usr
 before
 .Pa /usr
 is mounted on normal systems.
 .It Va cleanvar_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Clean the
 .Pa /var
 directory.
 .It Va local_startup
 .Pq Vt str
 List of directories to search for startup script files.
 .It Va script_name_sep
 .Pq Vt str
 The field separator to use for breaking down the list of startup script files
 into individual filenames.
 The default is a space.
 It is not necessary to change this unless there are startup scripts with names
 containing spaces.
 .It Va hostapd_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 to start
 .Xr hostapd 8
 at system boot time.
 .It Va hostname
 .Pq Vt str
 The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of this host on the network.
 This should almost certainly be set to something meaningful, even if
 there is no network connection.
 If
 .Xr dhclient 8
 is used to set the hostname via DHCP,
 this variable should be set to an empty string.
 If this value remains unset when the system is done booting
 your console login will display the default hostname of
 .Dq Amnesiac .
 .It Va nisdomainname
 .Pq Vt str
 The NIS domain name of this host, or
 .Dq Li NO
 if NIS is not used.
 .It Va dhclient_program
 .Pq Vt str
 Path to the DHCP client program
 .Pa ( /sbin/dhclient ,
 the
 .Ox
 DHCP client,
 is the default).
 .It Va dhclient_flags
 .Pq Vt str

 For the
 .Ox
 DHCP client, see the
 .Xr dhclient 8
 manpage for a description of the command line options available.
 .It Va dhclient_flags_ Ns Aq Ar iface
 Additional flags to pass to the DHCP client program running on
 .Ar iface
 only.
 When specified, this variable overrides
 .Va dhclient_flags .
 .It Va background_dhclient
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 to start the DHCP client in background.
 This can cause trouble with applications depending on
 a working network, but it will provide a faster startup
 in many cases.
 .It Va background_dhclient_ Ns Aq Ar iface
 When specified, this variable overrides the
 .Va background_dhclient
 variable for interface
 .Ar iface
 only.
 .It Va synchronous_dhclient
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 to start
 .Xr dhclient 8
 synchronously at startup.
 This behavior can be overridden on a per-interface basis by replacing
 the
 .Dq Li DHCP
 keyword in the
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable with
 .Dq Li SYNCDHCP
 or
 .Dq Li NOSYNCDHCP .
 .It Va defaultroute_delay
 .Pq Vt int
 When set to a positive value, wait up to this long after configuring
 DHCP interfaces at startup to give the interfaces time to receive a lease.
 .It Va firewall_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 to load firewall rules at startup.
 If the kernel was not built with
 .Cd "options IPFIREWALL" ,
 the
 .Pa ipfw.ko
 kernel module will be loaded.
 See also

 can be enabled independently.
 .Va ipmon_enable
 and
 .Va ipfs_enable
 both require at least one of
 .Va ipfilter_enable
 and
 .Va ipnat_enable
 to be enabled.
 .Pp
 Having
 .Bd -literal
 options IPFILTER
 options IPFILTER_LOG
 options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK
 .Ed
 .Pp
 in the kernel configuration file is a good idea, too.

 should be defined, containing the command-line flags to be passed to the
 .Xr ftp-proxy 8
 instance.
 .It Va pfsync_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li NO
 by default.
 Setting this to
 .Dq Li YES
 enables exposing
 .Xr pf 4
 state changes to other hosts over the network by means of
 .Xr pfsync 4 .
 The
 .Va pfsync_syncdev
 variable
 must also be set then.
 .It Va pfsync_syncdev
 .Pq Vt str
 Empty by default.
 This variable specifies the name of the network interface
 .Xr pfsync 4
 should operate through.
 It must be set accordingly if
 .Va pfsync_enable
 is set to
 .Dq Li YES .
 .It Va pfsync_syncpeer
 .Pq Vt str
 Empty by default.
 This variable is optional.
 By default, state change messages are sent out on the synchronisation
 interface using IP multicast packets.
 The protocol is IP protocol 240, PFSYNC, and the multicast group used is
 224.0.0.240.
 When a peer address is specified using the
 .Va pfsync_syncpeer
 option, the peer address is used as a destination for the pfsync
 traffic, and the traffic can then be protected using
 .Xr ipsec 4 .
 See the
 .Xr pfsync 4
 manpage for more details about using
 .Xr ipsec 4
 with
 .Xr pfsync 4
 interfaces.
 .It Va pfsync_ifconfig
 .Pq Vt str
 Empty by default.
 This variable can contain additional options to be passed to the
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 command used to set up
 .Xr pfsync 4 .
 .It Va tcp_extensions
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 by default.
 Setting this to
 .Dq Li NO
 disables certain TCP options as described by
 .Rs
 .%T "RFC 1323"
 .Re
 Setting this to
 .Dq Li NO
 might help remedy such problems with connections as randomly hanging
 or other weird behavior.
 Some network devices are known
 to be broken with respect to these options.
 .It Va log_in_vain
 .Pq Vt int
 Set to 0 by default.
 The
 .Xr sysctl 8
 variables,
 .Va net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain
 and
 .Va net.inet.udp.log_in_vain ,
 as described in
 .Xr tcp 4
 and
 .Xr udp 4 ,
 are set to the given value.
 .It Va tcp_keepalive
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 by default.
 Setting to
 .Dq Li NO
 will disable probing idle TCP connections to verify that the
 peer is still up and reachable.
 .It Va tcp_drop_synfin
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li NO
 by default.
 Setting to
 .Dq Li YES
 will cause the kernel to ignore TCP frames that have both
 the SYN and FIN flags set.
 This prevents OS fingerprinting, but may
 break some legitimate applications.
 .It Va icmp_drop_redirect
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li NO
 by default.
 Setting to
 .Dq Li YES
 will cause the kernel to ignore ICMP REDIRECT packets.
 Refer to
 .Xr icmp 4
 for more information.
 .It Va icmp_log_redirect
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li NO
 by default.
 Setting to
 .Dq Li YES
 will cause the kernel to log ICMP REDIRECT packets.
 Note that
 the log messages are not rate-limited, so this option should only be used
 for troubleshooting networks.
 Refer to
 .Xr icmp 4
 for more information.
 .It Va icmp_bmcastecho
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 to respond to broadcast or multicast ICMP ping packets.
 Refer to
 .Xr icmp 4
 for more information.
 .It Va ip_portrange_first
 .Pq Vt int
 If not set to
 .Dq Li NO ,
 this is the first port in the default portrange.
 Refer to
 .Xr ip 4
 for more information.
 .It Va ip_portrange_last
 .Pq Vt int
 If not set to
 .Dq Li NO ,
 this is the last port in the default portrange.
 Refer to
 .Xr ip 4
 for more information.
 .It Va network_interfaces
 .Pq Vt str
 Set to the list of network interfaces to configure on this host or
 .Dq Li AUTO
 (the default) for all current interfaces.
 Setting the
 .Va network_interfaces
 variable to anything other than the default is deprecated.
 Interfaces that the administrator wishes to store configuration for,
 but not start at boot should be configured with the
 .Dq Li NOAUTO
 keyword in their
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variables as described below.
 .Pp
 An
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable is also assumed to exist for each value of
 .Ar interface .
 When an interface name contains any of the characters
 .Dq Li .-/+
 they are translated to
 .Dq Li _
 before lookup.
 The variable can contain arguments to
 .Xr ifconfig 8 ,
 as well as special case-insensitive keywords described below.
 Such keywords are removed before passing the value to
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 while the order of the other arguments is preserved.
 .Pp
 It is possible to add IP alias entries using
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 syntax with the address family keyword such as
 .Li inet .
 Assuming that the interface in question was
 .Li ed0 ,
 it might look something like this:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 It also possible to configure multiple IP addresses in Classless
 Inter-Domain Routing
 .Pq CIDR
 address notation,
 whose each address component can be a range like
 .Li inet 192.0.2.5-23/24
 or
 .Li inet6 2001:db8:1-f::1/64 .
 This notation allows address and prefix length part only,
 not the other address modifiers.
 Note that the maximum number of the generated addresses from a range
 specification is limited to an integer value specified in
 .Va netif_ipexpand_max
 in
 .Xr rc.conf 5
 because a small typo can unexpectedly generate a large number of addresses.
 The default value is
 .Li 2048 .
 It can be increased by adding the following line into
 .Xr rc.conf 5 :
 .Bd -literal
 netif_ipexpand_max="4096"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 In the case of
 .Li 192.0.2.5-23/24 ,
 the address 192.0.2.5 will be configured with the
 netmask /24 and the addresses 192.0.2.6 to 192.0.2.23 with
 the non-conflicting netmask /32 as explained in the
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 alias section.
 Note that this special netmask handling is only for
 .Li inet ,
 not for the other address families such as
 .Li inet6 .
 .Pp
 With the interface in question being
 .Li ed0 ,
 an example could look like:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet 192.0.2.129/27"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias3="inet 192.0.2.1-5/28"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 and so on.
 .Pp
 Note that
 .Va ipv4_addrs_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable was supported for IPv4 CIDR address notation.
 It is now deprecated because the functionality was integrated into
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
 though
 .Va ipv4_addrs_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 is still supported for backward compatibility.
 .Pp
 For each
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
 entry with an address family keyword,
 its contents are passed to
 .Xr ifconfig 8 .
 Execution stops at the first unsuccessful access, so if
 something like this is present:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias4="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 Then note that alias4 would
 .Em not
 be added since the search would
 stop with the missing
 .Dq Li alias3
 entry.
 Because of this difficult to manage behavior,
 there is
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _aliases
 variable, which has the same functionality as
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
 and can have all of entries in a variable like the following:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_aliases="\\
 	inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffffff \\
 	inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffffff \\
 	inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffffff \\
 	inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 It also supports CIDR notation.
 .Pp
 If the
 .Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
 file is present, it is read and executed by the
 .Xr sh 1
 interpreter
 before configuring the interface as specified in the
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 and
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
 variables.
 .Pp
 If a
 .Va vlans_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable is set,
 a
 .Xr vlan 4
 interface will be created for each item in the list with the
 .Ar vlandev
 argument set to
 .Ar interface .
 If a vlan interface's name is a number,
 then that number is used as the vlan tag and the new vlan interface is
 named
 .Ar interface . Ns Ar tag .
 Otherwise,
 the vlan tag must be specified via a
 .Va vlan
 parameter in the
 .Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 .Pp
 To create a vlan device named
 .Li em0.101
 on
 .Li em0
 with the vlan tag 101 and the optional the IPv4 address 192.0.2.1/24:
 .Bd -literal
 vlans_em0="101"
 ifconfig_em0_101="inet 192.0.2.1/24"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 To create a vlan device named
 .Li myvlan
 on
 .Li em0
 with the vlan tag 102:
 .Bd -literal
 vlans_em0="myvlan"
 create_args_myvlan="vlan 102"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 If a
 .Va wlans_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable is set,
 an
 .Xr wlan 4
 interface will be created for each item in the list with the
 .Ar wlandev
 argument set to
 .Ar interface .
 Further wlan cloning arguments may be passed to the
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 .Cm create
 command by setting the
 .Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 One or more
 .Xr wlan 4
 devices must be created for each wireless devices as of
 .Fx 8.0 .
 Debugging flags for
 .Xr wlan 4
 devices as set by
 .Xr wlandebug 8
 may be specified with an
 .Va wlandebug_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 The contents of this variable will be passed directly to
 .Xr wlandebug 8 .
 .Pp
 If the
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 contains the keyword
 .Dq Li NOAUTO
 then the interface will not be configured
 at boot or by
 .Pa /etc/pccard_ether
 when
 .Va network_interfaces
 is set to
 .Dq Li AUTO .
 .Pp
 It is possible to bring up an interface with DHCP by adding
 .Dq Li DHCP
 to the
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 For instance, to initialize the
 .Li ed0
 device via DHCP,
 it is possible to use something like:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 If you want to configure your wireless interface with
 .Xr wpa_supplicant 8
 for use with WPA, EAP/LEAP or WEP, you need to add
 .Dq Li WPA
 to the
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 .Pp
 On the other hand, if you want to configure your wireless interface with
 .Xr hostapd 8 ,
 you need to add
 .Dq Li HOSTAP
 to the
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 .Xr hostapd 8
 will use the settings from
 .Pa /etc/hostapd- Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns .conf
 .Pp
 Finally, you can add
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 options in this variable, in addition to the
 .Pa /etc/start_if. Ns Aq Ar interface
 file.
 For instance, to configure an
 .Xr ath 4
 wireless device in station mode with an address obtained
 via DHCP, using WPA authentication and 802.11b mode, it is
 possible to use something like:
 .Bd -literal
 wlans_ath0="wlan0"
 ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA mode 11b"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 In addition to the
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 form, a fallback variable
 .Va ifconfig_DEFAULT
 may be configured.
 It will be used for all interfaces with no
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 This is intended to replace the no longer supported
 .Va pccard_ifconfig
 variable.
 .Pp
 It is also possible to rename an interface by doing:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_name="net0"
 ifconfig_net0="inet 192.0.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
 .Ed
 .It Va ipv6_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 This variable is deprecated.
 Use
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 and
 .Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
 if necessary.
 .Pp
 If the variable is
 .Dq Li YES ,
 .Dq Li inet6 accept_rtadv
 is added to all of
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 and the
 .Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
 is defined as
 .Dq Li YES .
 .It Va ipv6_prefer
 .Pq Vt bool
 This variable is deprecated.
 Use
 .Va ip6addrctl_policy
 instead.
 .Pp
 If the variable is
 .Dq Li YES ,
 the default address selection policy table set by
 .Xr ip6addrctl 8
 will be IPv6-preferred.
 .Pp
 If the variable is
 .Dq Li NO ,
 the default address selection policy table set by
 .Xr ip6addrctl 8
 will be IPv4-preferred.
 .It Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
 .Pq Vt bool
 This controls initial configuration on IPv6-capable
 interfaces with no corresponding
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 variable.
 Note that it is not always necessary to set this variable to
 .Dq YES
 to use IPv6 functionality on
 .Fx .
 In most cases, just configuring
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 variables works.
 .Pp
 If the variable is
 .Dq Li NO ,
 all interfaces which do not have a corresponding
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 variable will be marked as
 .Dq Li IFDISABLED
 at creation.
 This means that all of IPv6 functionality on that interface
 is completely disabled to enforce a security policy.
 If the variable is set to
 .Dq YES ,
 the flag will be cleared on all of the interfaces.
 .Pp
 In most cases, just defining an
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 for an IPv6-capable interface should be sufficient.
 However, if an interface is added dynamically
 .Pq by some tunneling protocols such as PPP, for example ,
 it is often difficult to define the variable in advance.
 In such a case, configuring the
 .Dq Li IFDISABLED
 flag can be disabled by setting this variable to
 .Dq YES .
 .Pp
 For more details of the
 .Dq Li IFDISABLED
 flag and keywords
 .Dq Li inet6 ifdisabled ,
 see
 .Xr ifconfig 8 .
 .Pp
 Default is
 .Dq Li NO .
 .It Va ipv6_privacy
 .Pq Vt bool
 If the variable is
 .Dq Li YES
 privacy addresses will be generated for each IPv6
 interface as described in RFC 4941.
 .It Va ipv6_network_interfaces
 .Pq Vt str
 This is the IPv6 equivalent of
 .Va network_interfaces .
 Normally manual configuration of this variable is not needed.
 .It Va ipv6_cpe_wanif
 .Pq Vt str
 If the variable is set to an interface name,
 the
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 options
 .Dq inet6 -no_radr accept_rtadv
 will be added to the specified interface automatically before evaluating
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 ,
 and two
 .Xr sysctl 8
 variables
 .Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3
 and
 .Va net.inet6.ip6.no_radr
 will be set to 1.
 .Pp
 This means the specified interface will accept ICMPv6 Router
 Advertisement messages on that link and add the discovered
 routers into the Default Router List.
 While the other interfaces can still accept RA messages if the
 .Dq inet6 accept_rtadv
 option is specified, adding
 routes into the Default Router List will be disabled by
 .Dq inet6 no_radr
 option by default.
 See
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 for more details.
 .Pp
 Note that ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages will be
 accepted even when
 .Va net.inet6.ip6.forwarding
 is 1
 .Pq packet forwarding is enabled
 when
 .Va net.inet6.ip6.rfc6204w3
 is set to 1.
 .Pp
 Default is
 .Dq Li NO .
 .It Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 .Pq Vt str
 IPv6 functionality on an interface should be configured by
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6 ,
 instead of setting ifconfig parameters in
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface .
 If this variable is empty, all of IPv6 configurations on the
 specified interface by other variables such as
 .Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac
 will be ignored.
 .Pp
 Aliases should be set by
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns Va _alias Ns Aq Ar n
 with
 .Dq Li inet6
 keyword.
 For example:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:2::1 prefixlen 64"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 Interfaces that have an
 .Dq Li inet6 accept_rtadv
 keyword in
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 setting will be automatically configured by SLAAC
 .Pq StateLess Address AutoConfiguration
 described in
 .Rs
 .%T "RFC 4862"
 .Re
 .Pp
 Note that a link-local address will be automatically configured in
 addition to the configured global-scope addresses because the IPv6
 specifications require it on each link.
 The address is calculated from the MAC address by using an algorithm
 defined in
 .Rs
 .%T "RFC 4862"
 .%O "Section 5.3"
 .Re
 .Pp
 If only a link-local address is needed on the interface,
 the following configuration can be used:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 A link-local address can also be configured manually.
 This is useful for the default router address of an IPv6 router
 so that it does not change when the network interface
 card is replaced.
 For example:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_ipv6="inet6 fe80::1 prefixlen 64"
 .Ed
 .It Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 .Pq Vt str
 If one or more prefixes are defined in
 .Va ipv6_prefix_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 addresses based on each prefix and the EUI-64 interface index will be
 configured on that interface.
 Note that this variable will be ignored when
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Ao Ar interface Ac Ns _ipv6
 is empty.
 .Pp
 For example, the following configuration
 .Bd -literal
 ipv6_prefix_ed0="2001:db8:1:0 2001:db8:2:0"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 is equivalent to the following:
 .Bd -literal
 ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet6 2001:db8:1:: eui64 prefixlen 64"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet6 2001:db8:1:: prefixlen 64 anycast"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet6 2001:db8:2:: eui64 prefixlen 64"
 ifconfig_ed0_alias3="inet6 2001:db8:2:: prefixlen 64 anycast"
 .Ed
 .Pp
 These Subnet-Router anycast addresses will be added only when
 .Va ipv6_gateway_enable
 is YES.
 .It Va ipv6_default_interface
 .Pq Vt str
 If not set to
 .Dq Li NO ,
 this is the default output interface for scoped addresses.
 This works only with ipv6_gateway_enable="NO".
 .It Va ip6addrctl_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 This variable is to enable configuring default address selection policy table
 .Pq RFC 3484 .
 The table can be specified in another variable
 .Va ip6addrctl_policy .
 For
 .Va ip6addrctl_policy
 the following keywords can be specified:
 .Dq Li ipv4_prefer ,
 .Dq Li ipv6_prefer ,
 or
 .Dq Li AUTO .
 .Pp
 If
 .Dq Li ipv4_prefer
 or
 .Dq Li ipv6_prefer
 is specified,
 .Xr ip6addrctl 8
 installs a pre-defined policy table described in Section 2.1
 .Pq IPv6-preferred
 or 10.3
 .Pq IPv4-preferred
 of RFC 3484.
 .Pp
 If
 .Dq Li AUTO
 is specified, it attempts to read a file
 .Pa /etc/ip6addrctl.conf
 first.
 If this file is found,
 .Xr ip6addrctl 8
 reads and installs it.
 If not found, a policy is automatically set
 according to
 .Va ipv6_activate_all_interfaces
 variable; if the variable is set to
 .Dq Li YES
 the IPv6-preferred one is used.
 Otherwise IPv4-preferred.
 .Pp
 The default value of
 .Va ip6addrctl_enable
 and
 .Va ip6addrctl_policy
 are
 .Dq Li YES
 and
 .Dq Li AUTO ,
 respectively.
 .It Va cloned_interfaces
 .Pq Vt str
 Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to create on this host.
 Further cloning arguments may be passed to the
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 .Cm create
 command for each interface by setting the
 .Va create_args_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable.
 If an interface name is specified with
 .Dq :sticky
 keyword,
 the interface will not be destroyed even when
 .Pa rc.d/netif
 script is invoked with
 .Dq stop
 argument.
 This is useful when reconfiguring the interface without destroying it.
 Entries in
 .Va cloned_interfaces
 are automatically appended to
 .Va network_interfaces
 for configuration.
 .It Va cloned_interfaces_sticky
 .Pq Vt bool
 This variable is to globally enable functionality of
 .Dq :sticky
 keyword in
 .Va cloned_interfaces
 for all interfaces.
 The default value is
 .Dq NO .
 Even if this variable is specified to
 .Dq YES ,
 .Dq :nosticky
 keyword can be used to override it on per interface basis.
 .It Va gif_interfaces
 .Pq Vt str
 This variable is deprecated in favor of
 .Va cloned_interfaces .
 Set to the list of
 .Xr gif 4
 tunnel interfaces to configure on this host.
 A
 .Va gifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable is assumed to exist for each value of
 .Ar interface .
 The value of this variable is used to configure the link layer of the
 tunnel according to the syntax of the
 .Cm tunnel
 option to
 .Xr ifconfig 8 .
 Additionally, this option ensures that each listed interface is created
 via the
 .Cm create
 option to
 .Xr ifconfig 8
 before attempting to configure it.
 .It Va sppp_interfaces
 .Pq Vt str
 Set to the list of
 .Xr sppp 4
 interfaces to configure on this host.
 A
 .Va spppconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 variable is assumed to exist for each value of
 .Ar interface .
 Each interface should also be configured by a general
 .Va ifconfig_ Ns Aq Ar interface
 setting.
 Refer to
 .Xr spppcontrol 8
 for more information about available options.
 .It Va ppp_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 run the
 .Xr ppp 8
 daemon.
 .It Va ppp_profile
 .Pq Vt str
 The name of the profile to use from
 .Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
 Also used for per-profile overrides of
 .Va ppp_mode
 and
 .Va ppp_nat ,
 and
 .Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _unit .
 When the profile name contains any of the characters
 .Dq Li .-/+
 they are translated to
 .Dq Li _
 for the proposes of the override variable names.
 .It Va ppp_mode
 .Pq Vt str
 Mode in which to run the
 .Xr ppp 8
 daemon.
 .It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _mode
 .Pq Vt str
 Overrides the global

 .It Va ppp_nat
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 enables network address translation.
 Used in conjunction with
 .Va gateway_enable
 allows hosts on private network addresses access to the Internet using
 this host as a network address translating router.
 .It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _nat
 .Pq Vt str
 Overrides the global
 .Va ppp_nat
 for
 .Ar profile .
 .It Va ppp_ Ns Ao Ar profile Ac Ns _unit
 .Pq Vt int
 Set the unit number to be used for this profile.
 See the manual description of
 .Fl unit Ns Ar N
 for details.
 .It Va ppp_user
 .Pq Vt str
 The name of the user under which
 .Xr ppp 8
 should be started.
 By
 default,
 .Xr ppp 8
 is started as
 .Dq Li root .
 .It Va rc_conf_files
 .Pq Vt str
 This option is used to specify a list of files that will override
 the settings in
 .Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf .
 The files will be read in the order in which they are specified and should
 include the full path to the file.
 By default, the files specified are
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf
 and
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf.local
 .It Va zfs_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 .Pa /etc/rc.d/zfs
 will attempt to automatically mount ZFS file systems and initialize ZFS volumes
 (ZVOLs).
 .It Va gptboot_enable
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 .Pa /etc/rc.d/gptboot
 will log if the system successfully (or not) booted from a GPT partition,
 which had the
 .Ar bootonce
 attribute set using
 .Xr gpart 8
 utility.
 .It Va gbde_autoattach_all
 .Pq Vt bool
 If set to
 .Dq Li YES ,
 .Pa /etc/rc.d/gbde
 will attempt to automatically initialize your .bde devices in
 .Pa /etc/fstab .
 .It Va gbde_devices
 .Pq Vt str
 List the devices that the script should try to attach,
 or
 .Dq Li AUTO .
 .It Va gbde_lockdir
 .Pq Vt str
 The directory where the
 .Xr gbde 4
 lockfiles are located.
 The default lockfile directory is
 .Pa /etc .
 .Pp
 The lockfile for each individual
 .Xr gbde 4
 device can be overridden by setting the variable
 .Va gbde_lock_ Ns Aq Ar device ,
 where
 .Ar device
 is the encrypted device without the
 .Dq Pa /dev/
 and
 .Dq Pa .bde
 parts.
 .It Va gbde_attach_attempts
 .Pq Vt int
 Number of times to attempt attaching to a
 .Xr gbde 4
 device, i.e., how many times the user is asked for the pass-phrase.
 Default is 3.
 .It Va geli_devices

 If empty, it will be taken from
 .Va kern.geom.eli.tries
 sysctl variable.
 .It Va geli_default_flags
 .Pq Vt str
 Default flags to use by
 .Xr geli 8
 when configuring disk encryption.
 Flags can be configured for every device separately by defining
 .Va geli_ Ns Ao Ar device Ac Ns Va _flags
 variable.
 .It Va geli_autodetach
 .Pq Vt str
 Specifies if GELI devices should be marked for detach on last close after
 file systems are mounted.
 Default is
 .Dq Li YES .
 This can be changed for every device separately by defining
 .Va geli_ Ns Ao Ar device Ac Ns Va _autodetach
 variable.
 .It Va root_rw_mount
 .Pq Vt bool
 Set to
 .Dq Li YES
 by default.
