Aug 9, 2016 9:48 AMby ChitlinsCC,it SHOULD be easy for an IT professional making the demand, dontcha think? After all, they have the resumé
Can you imagine the memo that says "make all these settings..." and that is it? No instructions at all on where and how? For ANY of their employees on any device? Wacky!

Are you trying to performance tune your networking?

You trying to get on the internet?
If your trying to establish an internet connection, you should try ignoring them.
I'm not familiar with these parameters. They seem like standard stuff and low level stuff. Should not have to bother with them. Ignore them. The internet software on a machine is meant to be interoperable with any other internet machine without needed low level configuration. You may want to configure after you get it working to improve performance.
Are you trying to change your firewall parameters?
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose = 1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit = 65535
I think it should have been formatted as such.
TCP/IP Kernel Parameters
# these look like firewall parameters
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose = 1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit = 65535
# these look like TCP/IP parameters to me
net.inet.icmp.icmplim = 1024
net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect = 1
net.inet.icmp.log_redirect = 1
net.inet.ip.redirect = 0
net.inet.ip.sourceroute = 0
net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute = 0
net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho = 0
net.inet.icmp.maskrepl = 0
net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack = 0
net.inet.ip.forwarding = 0
net.inet.tcp.strict_rfc1948 = 1
windows domain.

Aug 9, 2016 11:44 AMby ChitlinsCC,So YOU are the IT pro demanding that the OP make the adjustments! It is all clear now!
{ I get it, amigo... you certainly see my point(s), memo saying "make these changes" without instructions - it may be that explaining WHY is not required - is a poor practice from a person that should know how as well as why }

Answer: It's unix. You do it like you would on any other unix machine. [ see prior post ]
The TCP/IP stack had a common origin. At one time, it was common for operating systems to be using a cloned copy of the same TCP/IP Stack. I think the common one was UC Berkeley. Made interoperability real likely. Which was a good thing for all concerned.

Aug 9, 2016 12:03 PMby ChitlinsCC,You have likely hit the nail on the head... (I would have to ask how to config a Windoze box)
It would be nice if folks - especially this OP - would tell us a full tale so that we can wrap our minds round the issue!
My crystal ball is broke.
At any rate, we seem to be dancing by ourselves

Aug 9, 2016 12:36 PMby rccharles,You sure it applies to you? Is this for individual machines or perhaps only the corporate backbone?
Be sure to do a complete backup of your machine before applying them.
In reality, you need to know what these parameters do before messing with them. You should be able to write a more detailed question before messing with these parameters.
You should not need to mess with these parameters to add an end user mac to your corporate network. If you do need to for an end user machine, your network is messed up. You might want to mess with these parameters for adding a server.
