How to enable routing at boot time?

Hi

How to enable routing at boot time so I don't need it to do it manually with that command: "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"?

Thank you in advance!

cheers

Daniel

You can add that echo line to your /etc/rc.local which will cover it... I have mine loaded up some boot stuff:

$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.
#

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 4000 # set jumbo frames
/root/bin/fix_lcc # fix lcc if wd20ears is connected
echo noop > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler # set scheduler for SSD
echo "11" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold # adjust ondemand threshold

/etc/sysctl.conf is what you're looking for.
add net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

rc.local is not the "right" way

Never let it be said that I do things the right way... I was ignorant to the sysctl.conf method
