well that is certainly not a reason for changing routes
I have the feeling you are not explaining good enough what really is
going on and it may help sending your configurations and an example
of routes and IP addresses before and after this route change
Why is this so hard to understand? Link down leads to static route
is deleted. This is standard FreeBSD behavior, and has been this way
for as long as I can remember (btw, I believe this behavior is from
the original BSD, not FreeBSD specific).
You can show this by having a static default route pointing to an
address on an Ethernet interface which has link. And then pulling the
TP cable from the Ethernet interface. Observe that the default route
is automatically removed.
may be you have not understood your own problem yet
because so far is nothing to be understood because none of your
statements is correct, it is also not FreeBSD's standard behavior and
never has been
as long as there is the valid IP address on the related interface, no
static route will be deleted, you can even boot without cable and the
[default] static route is there
so you need to explain better your problem in order to understand it
probably you have some other stuff running, thirdparty network manager
or something, incorrect or incomplete ppoe or dhc configuration or
whatever leads to the problem
FYI static routes usually are the manually configured routes, so what
you say is redundant and not correct, I guess you're loosing some kind
of dynamic route
since WL networks usually do not run RIP/OSPF/BGP I guess the route you
apparently loose is coming from some dhcp server and may be your
dhclient configuration is incomplete or none existent, but here now it
would be useful to see your config
Hi,
I think we need to distinguish between two matters. One is where the
route is directly reachable on the local-net of the network adapter, and
ARP is valid/responding. The second case is when the route is not
directly reachable. The second case is where the problem happens, like
Stian kindly explained.
# For example:
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 up
# Assume the router is at 10.0.0.1
# And we want to reach a certain destination through 10.0.0.1
# Then we do:
route add 10.22.1.1 10.0.0.1
no no no my friend, wrong again
that is a static route and it goes away same way it was created, manually
or by deleting the IP address 10.0.0.2 from the related interface
wether there is or not an active link on that interface does not matter
Hi,
Can it be that dhclient which I'm running on this interface with manual
routes
disrupts stuff then ??
--HPS
I think you can get the effect you want with dhclient.conf. I just
experimented a bit and it works for me, installing the static route when
it gets an address (and it gets removed if I manually configure the
interface back to 0.0.0.0), using this dhclient.conf:
interface re0 {
supersede static-routes 10.1.1.1 172.22.42.240;
}
It works with either the 'prepend' or 'supersede' verb, depending on
your needs. You can also specify multiple static routes, see
dhcp-options(5).

Change your network adapter to Ethernet-class carrier for TCP/IP dynamic routing. 2. Switch to CCK modulation (if you really MUST stick with wireless IP encapsulation .) % ifconfig netdev mode 11b % man ifconfig(8) for more info. In case you really want to stick with wireless based carrier (HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED for *ALL* FreeBSD users until it has been demonstrated that there is no privacy disclosure or potential health issues with any wireless frequency modulation scheme), consider using CCK modulation (802.11b) which should be point-to-point modulation scheme. Btw I believe this is a separate issue than the previous OpenSSL/libpng remote vulnerability (sysret) discussed a few days ago but as you comment suggest this bug should only imply wireless-based devices using the iEEE 802.11 stack for high-speed frequency modulation.

With Cisco and Juniper (and probably lots of other big name) routers, if I create a static route pointing to a next hop on one interface, and the interface goes down (e.g. Ethernet cable is unplugged), 1. the static route is removed from the routing table. But then, when the interface later comes back up 2. the static route is reinstalled in the routing table. With FreeBSD point 1 above happens, but not point 2.
