Your System is going to use as a Router for two networks. One Network is 192.168.0.0/24 and Another Network is 192.168.1.0/24. Both network's IP address has assigned. How will you forward the packets from one network to another network?

AExplanation:
echo '1' >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
If you want to use the Linux System as a Router to make communication between different networks, you need enable the IP forwarding. To enable on running session just set value 1 to
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. As well as automatically turn on the IP forwarding features on next boot set on /etc/sysctl.conf file.

And don't forget to update the /etc/sysctl.conf file to automatically enable IP forwarding on next boot.

Ah, yes, the age-old question of how to route packets between networks. This is a classic Linux networking scenario. The explanation provided is spot on - enabling IP forwarding is the key to making this work.

Yes, we can enable IP forwarding by setting the value to 1 in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.

I think we need to enable IP forwarding to forward packets between the two networks.
