RX Descriptors exceed system mbuf max

I am using Intel PRO/10GbE PCI-Express NIC's and have the latest ixgbe(4) driver loaded. No matter how high I set the kern.ipc.nmbclusters value in /etc/sysctl.conf, I still get
Code:
RX Descriptors exceed system mbuf max
messages for all four ports.

What am I missing?
 
I discovered the problem. The kern.ipc.nmbclusters needs to be set in the /boot/defaults/loader.conf file. I had it set in /etc/sysctl.conf.
 
Never edit defaults files. Instead, edit the override file.

In this case, you should edit /boot/loader.conf.
