Subject: [PATCH pve-docs 1/1] sdn: update description for setting rp_filter
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 11:32:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325103243.216632-1-s.hanreich@proxmox.com> (raw)
Starting with trixie, systemd-sysctl no longer reads /etc/sysctl.conf
[1]. Update the documentation on how to set the rp_filter value to
reflect that change.
