By the way, if you just want to set up a simple bridge between two networks, I remember reading an article in Linux Journal last year sometime (fires up Google....here it is):
Thank you for the link to the article, yes that's the funksion I'm looking for. But then, maybe a lame question, How to set up a router that just forward packets to next hop?
I have googled my self blue without anything.
Yes I have 2 nic,s on the same machine and using a crossed cable, so hooking up on each side works fine.
I need to hook up equipment on the one side to monitor packets used, and also I would like to use the CentOS as a router towards the wan with my new sangoma s518 card, but if I can't route between two simple nic's I feel stuck.
Thanks
As root, you can enable ip forwarding between interfaces by executing
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
To make it permanent, set net.ipv4.ip_forward in /etc/sysctl.conf to "1":
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
