Also, a link address has to be specified with a leading separator if you do not specify an interface at the start (see linkaddr(3); this is not documented in route(8)!). The correct call would be: route add -host 10.20.30.40 -link :0:a:b:c:d:e -iface -static or, if you explicitely want to use fxp0 route add -host 10.20.30.40 -link fxp0:0:a:b:c:d:e -iface -static HTH, - thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
