● Set the environment variables, add to .zshrc or .bashrc

export ROS_DOMAIN_ID=42 # Numbers from 0 to 232
export ROS_LOCALHOST_ONLY=1
export CYCLONEDDS_URI=file:///etc/cyclonedds/config.xml

Tips:to understand why the maximum ROS_DOMAIN_ID is 232, please visit The ROS DOMAIN ID

● Increase UDP receive buffer size Edit

/etc/sysctl.d/10-cyclone-max.conf

Add

net.core.rmem_max=2147483647
net.core.rmem_default=2147483647
