Which file stores the setting of sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding

Hi, guys

My Mac has two Ethernet cards, and I want to turn it to a router. I searched and found the command to enable the routing / packet forwarding function for Mac. But which file stores the info of this setting?

sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

This CLI just enable it, and I want to find the file which stores this setting.

Possibly /etc/sysctl.conf
