    The command is wrong...

    If you are wondering why you get this message when copying and pasting from the Apple website:

    usage: sysctl [-bn] variable ...
    sysctl [-bn] -w variable=value ...
    sysctl [-bn] -a
    sysctl [-bn] -A
    sysctl [-bn] -X

    Then you have to take out the spaces in the last few characters:

    INCORRECT: sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.linklocal.in.allowbadttl = 1
    CORRECT: sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.linklocal.in.allowbadttl=1
