Linux people, I'm trying to understand how to set up a Linux system as a router. For example, assume I have an interface with IP address 192.168.0.1(eth0) and another with IP address 192.168.1.1(eth1). What do I need to do to allow traffic received on one interface to be automatically forwarded out of the other interface? To extend the example, assume eth0 receives a packet from 192.168.0.25 that is destined for 192.168.2.40. What is the minimal set of steps I need to perform in order to get my kernel to send that packet on its way?
Second question, what exactly is network bridging and how might I use it instead of setting up a Linux system as a router?
