=3E=3E=3E=3E =7C
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7CIs there something similar in FreeBSD=3F
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7C
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7CI tried configuring aliases in /etc/rc=2Econf and running=
=3A
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7C
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7C=24 /etc/rc=2Ed/netif restart
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7C
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7Cbut that just ended in errors that the route was already co=

=3E=3E=3E=3E =7Cand so on=2E Sure I could do all the work manually with ifc=

=3E=3E=3E=3E =7Croute but that=27s not my question=2E
=3E=3E=3E=3E =7C
=3E=3E=3E=3E Under FreeBSD =28as well as under Linux=29 you could use Zebra=
 =28Zebra/Quagga
=3E=3E=3E=3E projects=29 to configure any interfaces/routing specific thing=
s=2E
=3E=3E=3E=3E        =20
=3E=3E=3E I try to avoid doing complex routing things on my servers=2E I le=

=3E=3E=3E that up to the NOC guys=2E They can do that on their fancy cisco=

=3E=3E=3E switches=2E I want just one route per interface =3A-=29
=3E=3E=3E
=3E=3E=3E I just wanted to add a seperate route/ip for the second interface=
=2C
=3E=3E=3E make it permanent by adding it to /etc/rc=2Econf and tell my Free=
BSD to
=3E=3E=3E pretend it=27s booting up by running /etc/rc=2Ed/netif restart=2E=

=3E=3E=3E pointed out I forgot /etc/rc=2Ed/route=2E

=3E=3E Hi all=2C
=3E=3E
=3E=3E I use =22/etc/netstart=22=2C since it includes all of the commands l=
isted
=3E=3E previously=2C as well as others that start the DHCP client=2C firewa=
ll=2C etc=2E
=3E=3E    =20
=3E
=3E That=27s what i was looking for=2E How do you use it correctly=3F Just=
 =22sh
=3E /etc/netstart=22=3F
=3E  =20
That should work=2E
But read the contents of the file=2E
It does not restart anything=2C just start

Quote=3A
=23 This file is NOT called by any of the other scripts - it has been
=23 obsoleted by /etc/rc=2Ed/* and is provided here only for user
=23 convenience =28if you=27re sitting in single user mode and wish to star=
t
=23 the network by hand=2C this script will do it for you=29=2E

It seems like I loose my remote connection when doing it this way due to
ipfw which I normally restart with =23sh /etc/ipfw=2Erules =26 so I don=27t=
 lose
my connection
=23sh /etc/netstart =26
or
=23sh /etc/netstart
both connection lost

So after a config change of ip and gateway I prefer the netif and
routing option
