Most of the Kernel parameters can be tuned using the Sysctl facility. The sysctl facility accepts default information on startup from the file /etc/sysctl.conf (you may glean some useful information there).

However, If you want to enable IP Forwarding, all you need to do is place the following information (FORWARD_IPV4=true)in the file /etc/sysconfig/network.
