It's not stupid but you show a remarkable inability or unwillingness to
do any research - and then post this from a Cisco.com address!  I expect
that there are a few people working for Cisco that have Linux routing
experience...

A google search for "linux router" will lead to 2 million hits.  A
search on redhat.com in the documentation section will also lead to
multiple hits.

You could also have searched the redhat-list archives (the link is in
every posting to this list) for the word "router" and you would have
gotten nearly 500 hits.

Please do some simple searching, try a few things, and then feel free to
ask specific questions if something doesn't work.  Tell us what you've
tried and what didn't happen as you expected it to.
