This change may also be immediately activated by the 'sysctl -p'
command. And of course you could accomplish the same by setting the
corresponding proc value, but the sysctl command is a surer way to test
that you altered sysctl.conf correctly for the change to persist at next
boot.
Don't forget to alter your iptables configuration to accept the
permissible routed traffic on the FORWARD chain of the filter* table.
You may also need to add routes on the systems on the two networks if
you want them to know how to reach each other via your new Linux router.
If you need router to router protocols then check out the quagga rpm
which comes with FC.
