2. Adjust the sysctl.conf
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
# Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 # Controls source route verification net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 # Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel kernel.sysrq = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0 # Enables source route verification net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
sysctl -p

3. Install openvz tools.
