Hi BSD guys, I'm working through the IPSEC tutorial at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html After the tunnel creation incantations, there are some route add commands that seem to be in error, syntactically: """ As expected, both sides have the ability to send and receive ICMP packets from the privately configured addresses. Next, both gateways must be told how to route packets in order to correctly send traffic from either network. The following command will achieve this goal: # corp-net# route add 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.5 255.255.255.0 # corp-net# route add net 10.0.0.0: gateway 10.0.0.5 # priv-net# route add 10.246.38.0 10.246.38.1 255.255.255.0 # priv-net# route add host 10.246.38.0: gateway 10.246.38.1 """ The "route add {net,host}" commands both return errors "route: bad address: {net,host}". From the manpage, I see it should probably be "-net" or "-host", but fixing that then gives the error "route: bad address: 10.78.200.0:" which I guess is complaining about the trailing colon. In the manpage, under the DIAGNOSTICS section, it hints at something resembling the format used above, but I think it means "error output format": add [host | network ] %s: gateway %s flags %x The specified route is being added to the tables. The values printed are from the routing table entry supplied in the ioctl(2) call. If the gateway address used was not the primary address of the gateway (the first one returned by gethostbyname(3)), the gateway address is printed numerically as well as symbolically. iCritical is a brand of Critical Software Ltd.
