Static route not getting added

[neeru]

Hi,

I am installing FreeBSD 8.3. And have added static route to /etc/rc.conf. In spite of running /etc/rc.d/netif or rebooting the system, the static route does not show up in netstat -rn and hence I reach any system on that network.

I have checked the syntax, that is as per the manual

route_static="route_pri"
route_pri="-net 192.168.64.0/20   192.168.63.254"

I can reach 192.168.63.254, but this route is not getting added.

Thank you,

neeru

netif doesn't set the routes, /etc/rc.d/routing does.

And it's

static_routes="pri"

static_routes="name1 name2"
route_name1="....."
route_name2="....."

Where did you get the "route_static" and "route_pri" settings? Because that is not the way that is shown in rc.conf(5), which mentions static_routes and defaultrouter.
