RedHat Exam EX200 Topic 5 Question 100 Discussion

Actual exam question for RedHat's EX200 exam

Question #: 100
Topic #: 5

Your System is going to use as a Router for two networks. One Network is 192.168.0.0/24 and Another Network is 192.168.1.0/24. Both network's IP address has assigned. How will you forward the packets from one network to another network?

AExplanation:
echo '1' >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
If you want to use the Linux System as a Router to make communication between different networks, you need enable the IP forwarding. To enable on running session just set value 1 to
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. As well as automatically turn on the IP forwarding features on next boot set on /etc/sysctl.conf file.

Wait, we're supposed to be routing packets, not playing ping-pong with them! Guess I'd better brush up on my Linux networking skills before this exam.

Routing between networks, huh? Sounds like a job for the Linux routing superhero! All it takes is a little IP forwarding magic, and those packets will be zipping back and forth like nobody's business.
