Another interesting way, is to setup only routing on your centos, and
add (ask your network manager) the route
of your internal network (I guess 192.168.10.8/29 through
192.168.10.13 ) on your firewall and maybe a similar one
on your router if the firewall is not doing NAT.
Then your firewall administrator can control the access to any of your
internal machines or make some of them reachable
from outside if for example you want to have a web server or an email
server (this is not a good idea, but you get the idea).
All of this without chnaging anything more on your centos router.

To route packet only,  without doing NAT (aka MASQUERADING or HIDE-NAT)
just use
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
