Exam XK0-005 Topic 1 Question 536 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's XK0-005 exam
Question #: 536
Topic #: 1
A junior administrator is setting up a new Linux server that is intended to be used as a router at a remote site.
Which of the following parameters will accomplish this goal?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Explanation
The parameter net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 will accomplish the goal of setting up a new Linux server as a router.
This parameter enables the IP forwarding feature, which allows the server to forward packets between different network interfaces. This is necessary for a router to route traffic between different networks. The parameter can be set in the /etc/sysctl.conf file or by using the sysctl command. This is the correct parameter to use to accomplish the goal. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist (net.ipv4.ip_forwarding or net.ipv4.ip_route) or do not enable IP forwarding (net.ipv4.ip_forward=0).
