net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0

Load settings from all system configuration files using the following command:

$ sudo sysctl --system

Check Contents

Verify TOSS 5 will not accept IPv4 source-routed packets using the following command:

$ sudo sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route
