|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option ctrl-alt-delete <ignore | reboot | poweroff>
|
|
|
|
Action which will be run once the ctrl-alt-del keystroke is received.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option reboot-on-panic
|
|
|
|
Automatically reboot system on kernel panic after 60 seconds.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option startup-beep
|
|
|
|
Play an audible beep to the system speaker when system is ready.

HTTP client
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option http-client source-address <address>
|
|
|
|
Several commands utilize cURL to initiate transfers. Configure the local
|
|
source IPv4/IPv6 address used for all cURL operations.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option http-client source-interface <interface>
|
|
|
|
Several commands utilize curl to initiate transfers. Configure the local
|
|
source interface used for all CURL operations.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: `source-address` and `source-interface` can not be used at the same
|
|
time.

SSH client

|
**********
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option ssh-client source-address <address>
|
|
|
|
Use the specified address on the local machine as the source address of the
|
|
connection. Only useful on systems with more than one address.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option ssh-client source-interface <interface>
|
|
|
|
Use the address of the specified interface on the local machine as the
|
|
source address of the connection.

Keyboard Layout
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
When starting a VyOS live system (the installation CD) the configured keyboard
|
|
layout defaults to US. As this might not suite everyones use case you can adjust
|
|
the used keyboard layout on the system console.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option keyboard-layout <us | fr | de | fi | no | dk>
|
|
|
|
Change system keyboard layout to given language.
|
|
|
|
Defaults to ``us``.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Changing the keymap only has an effect on the system console, using
|
|
SSH or Serial remote access to the device is not affected as the keyboard
|
|
layout here corresponds to your access system.

Performance
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
As more and more routers run on Hypervisors, expecially with a :abbr:`NOS
|
|
(Network Operating System)` as VyOS, it makes fewer and fewer sense to use
|
|
static resource bindings like ``smp-affinity`` as present in VyOS 1.2 and
|
|
earlier to pin certain interrupt handlers to specific CPUs.
|
|
|
|
We now utilize `tuned` for dynamic resource balancing based on profiles.

.. start_vyoslinter
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set system option performance < throughput | latency >
|
|
|
|
Configure one of the predefined system performance profiles.
|
|
|
|
* ``throughput``: A server profile focused on improving network throughput.
|
|
This profile favors performance over power savings by setting
|
|
``intel_pstate`` and ``max_perf_pct=100`` and increasing kernel network
|
|
buffer sizes.
|
|
|
|
It enables transparent huge pages, and uses cpupower to set the performance
|
|
cpufreq governor. It also sets ``kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns`` to 10 us,
|
|
``kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns`` to 15 uss, and ``vm.dirty_ratio`` to
|
|
40%.
|
|
|
|
* ``latency``: A server profile focused on lowering network latency.
|
|
This profile favors performance over power savings by setting
|
|
``intel_pstate`` and ``min_perf_pct=100``.
|
|
|
|
It disables transparent huge pages, and automatic NUMA balancing. It also
|
|
uses cpupower to set the performance cpufreq governor, and requests a
|
|
cpu_dma_latency value of 1. It also sets busy_read and busy_poll times to
|
|
50 us, and tcp_fastopen to 3.
