Read the man pages carefully. The BSD TCP/IP stack has a single arp
cache and a single route table, so the network interfaces do not
need to be specified. In particular, with arp you specify only the
hostname and ethernet address. The route command you specify the
IP address or hostname of the router rather than the egress interface.
Your commands would become:
arp -s 10.10.10.0 00:00:ca:13:4b:54
route add -net 10.10.10.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 {IP address of router}
route add default {IP address of router}
Please note that in general you don't want to set these by hand, but
rather use the rc.conf file.
