[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-docs v2 1/1] sdn: frr update documentation for installing frr package

[Stefan Hanreich <s.hanreich@proxmox.com>]

The frr service now gets automatically enabled when applying an SDN
configuration with an EVPN controller present. Reflect this change in
the documentation. Also add a note for users upgrading from prior
versions, that they still need to install frr before applying the SDN
configuration.
