Synopsis: route add -host hostIP -interface localIP doesn't work State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: ru State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 6 10:57:55 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: It works, that's exactly how ARP entries are stored in the routing table. This command merely emulates actions of the `arp -s hostIP x:x:x:x:x:x' command, i.e., it creates a permanent ARP entry. `route add hostIP/32 -interface ether_addr' will create a "published" (aka proxy) ARP entry for hostIP. This ARP entry can then be immediately announced (this feature is called a gratuitous ARP) if supplied the -proto2 modifier, "arp who-has hostIP tell hostIP" in tcpdump(1) terminology. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=9012 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
