defaultrouter defined in rc.conf not working

Hi everyone,

I am running freebsd 8 (and I am pretty new at it)
Currently my box is setup as a bridge running PF, Squid and Dansgaurdian. Everything works great, except I can't seem to get my default gateway to stick despite modifying the rc.conf file and adding defaultrouter="10.0.0.1"

After reboot I have to do a route add 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 command and all works.


Any ideas???

Thank you!

What do "netstat -rn" and "ifconfig" show prior to the manual addition of the default route?

Hi,

Here is ifconfig output:

This shouldn't be in rc.conf like that:

Code:
ifconfig bridge0 inet 10.0.0.25/16

Try

Code:
ifconfig_bridge0_alias0="inet 10.0.0.25/16"
