David,
yes both values 0 and 2 work, however 0 does no source checking at all, 2
does a loose checking:
2 = basically if any interface can actually route any of the networks the
packet is coming in from, then allow.
rp_filter - INTEGER
0 - No source validation.
1 - Strict mode as defined in RFC3704 Strict Reverse Path
Each incoming packet is tested against the FIB and if the
interface
is not the best reverse path the packet check will fail.
By default failed packets are discarded.
2 - Loose mode as defined in RFC3704 Loose Reverse Path
Each incoming packet's source address is also tested against
the FIB
and if the source address is not reachable via any interface
the packet check will fail.
Yes, I actually found it on RHEL solutions site as well:
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/53031
Cheers,
Alex
