9.2 odd 'classful' behaviour?

Hi all,

I'm new to FreeBSD, I'm just scratching my head over something I'd appreciate a pointer on, I've scanned the handbook and FAQ without finding an answer.

The system in question is a fresh install, attached via a single NIC to a /24 IP network within the 10.0.0.0 prefix, with client systems on a different /24 within 10.0.0.0 on the other side of a router.

I found that FreeBSD is creating a route to 10.0.0.0/8 with a gateway of the local NIC, therefore I have no connectivity with the client LAN until I add a route there via the router IP, manually or by editing rc.conf. To me it seems that FreeBSD is ignoring the netmask of the NIC when its creating that route 10.0.0.0/8.

How can I modify this behaviour? I'm pretty sure its some default behaviour, not my configuration.

TIA
 
Found it, my syntax error defining the interface netmask in rc.conf.

Sorry for wasting space here!
 
Not at all; thanks for giving us an update instead of leaving us to wonder about the issue at hand. That is what usually happens :)
