Jul 31, 2015 Here is a simple workaround on how to add a persistent static route on OS X Yosemite. This example will route all subnet-addresses 10.1. traffic to the Vagrant machine with IP 172.17.8.101. Create a simple bash script. Click 'Edit MAC Filter List.' A new window will come up. Click an empty field and add the new MAC address, then click 'Save Settings.' The window will close. Click 'Save Settings' again in the main browser window. At that point, your router will start allowing the MAC address you added to join the network. Oct 02, 2016 Adding a route manually can be necessary sometimes. When on Linux, I know the command by head: On the Mac the command is similar, but a bit different ? Just as a note to myself and anyone else interested: This sets up a route to the 10.67.0.0/16 net through gateway 192.168.120.254. First one on Linux, second one on Mac OSX.

This may help me do what I'm looking for, but I'm such a noob, that it's confusing to me. I have an XServe running on a T-1 on the first ethernet port. I have a cable modem plugged directly into the second ethernet port. The T-1 line is where all the normal traffic comes from, ie. web, email, file serving, etc. I'd like for my remote clients to perform rsync backups to the cable modem interface. I'd also like the XServe to perform it's offsite rsync backup to a G4 at one of the remote locations. The G4 is setup the same way, the primary ethernet is plugged into the office LAN, a second network card is plugged directly into a cable modem. I'd like to keep the rsync traffic all going through the cable modems. Can I accomplish this with your hint or a modification of it? Thanks in advance!

The critical difference between your setup and mine is that you are using cable modems (and, I assume, the cable company's IP addresses & DNS) for your second port, where I went with the slower dial-up modems, where I have control over the the IP addresses & DNS. Another difference is that I have two LANs that I am linking together, where you have a number of single machines at various points. I don't think that my hint will be of much help to you.
You could establish VPN connections from the G4 & your other sites via the xserve's cable modem IP address, but if it is a dynamically allocated address (as all cable IP services I've seen are), then you will have the classic problem of how to discover the current IP address so the VPNs can be set up. If I were you, I'd investigate http://www.dyndns.com/ and set up dynamically redirected names for the two cable-modem ports, and then try to use those access points to set up secure VPN connections for the other functions you need.

Hi,
I have the same question, I think: I have access to two interfaces, one is my school's wireless network and one is my cable modem account. I want to be able to dedicate one interface to gaming, and use the other for surfing, email, streaming, etc. Question is, can you assign en0 and en1 by application? Would you do this using the 'route' command? I looked at amn pages and didn't see how.. thanks Lucas
Nah, you'd have to figure out which networks your games communicated with, and route those to one NIC or the other
If you're doing this for security reasons, please don't think that bypassing the 'Net by using a couple modems directly talking to each other over the phone network is going to be even marginally more secure.
Encrypt the link anyways. If you've got a high-speed network connection available, just set up a VPN and be done with it. But, even if you don't have a high-speed connection, you still should set it up as a VPN. If you think it through, you'll realize that the set of people who can eavesdrop on Internet traffic--telecom companies and law enforcement--is pretty much the same set of people that can eavesdrop on POTS traffic. Few ISPs aren't also telecom companies, and all the big backbone providers are all major telecoms, after all.. Cheers, b& ![]()
That's an interesting point, and definitely on my to-do list. I'm assuming I can use IPsec on both servers to do this on the bridge subnet (with setkey?), and I'll be set. But IPsec is still somewhat mysterious to me.

Just use openvpn http://openvpn.net/ it's really easy to set up und performs well.
I use it on my dedicated server (Linux) with a Samba listening on the VPN interface to mount my home dir over the encrypted line on my iBook.
I was faced with a similar problem when I added second ethernet interface to my work machine to connect to a test network. I needed to move the default route to the other interface, and add a bunch of static routes out the various interfaces for full connectivity. However, I used launchd and created a script I put in /etc to do this. Here's my launchd .plist file, which I put in /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.routes.static.plist: And here's the shell script I slapped together and put in /etc/routes.sh: I seems to work fine, but I'm sure it could be cleaned up in a few areas.

Add Static Route Mac Vpn
I think this might answer a question I posted earlier -- can you use this to assign traffic to a particular interface (en0, en1) by either application or by port? I found neither of the other two static route hints were working for me.I have access to two interfaces, one is my school's wireless network and one is my cable modem account. I want to be able to dedicate one interface to gaming, and use the other for surfing, email, streaming, etc. thanks Lucas Adding the route to /etc/rc.local failed to ever actually add the route. I was adding my route manually without a problem, so figured the trouble adding this at boot was related to the networking not being sufficiently 'up' when the /etc/rc.local is executed.
I created a script to be executed 3 minutes after the rc.local is run. This has worked perfectly for me with my 10.4.11 host.
If you don't want the email after booting, you can skip that if you wish.

How does one define a static route on MacOS X which persists through reboots? The only suggestion I've found on Google advises setting up a launchd service to run at boot, which seems like a horrible hack (does it survive a network restart without rebooting, for instance?)
To set up the route I need temporarily, I can run the following:
How would I make this persist?

Except that a Launch Daemon (like a Startup Item before it) suffers from two important problems in this regard:
I just posted what will hopefully be a better (i.e. more robust) solution on my website. I built an installer package (download) for it; there's also some source code, but I can't post the link on Server Fault as I don't have a high enough reputation yet to put more than one hyperlink per post.
To use it, install the package (so far only tested on my laptop, but appears to work). It should install a Launch Daemon that starts the 'staticrouted' server process (you can check this in top; if it isn't running, it probably means I got the installer slightly wrong, but you should be able to start it using launchctl as usual).
To create static routes, you use the 'staticroute' program (which you'll find in /usr/local/sbin). e.g.
You can also see the list of configured static routes with
and a list of interface names with
Configured static routes survive a restart, and will automatically be added and removed as network interfaces go up and down.
There are also man pages; these are installed in /usr/local/share/man/man8, so you might also want to add /usr/local/share/man to your MANPATH if it isn't already there.
I should emphasise, I just knocked this code up today to fix a problem that is being caused by my having to use a cron job to keep static routes in place. It appears to work for me, but YMMV. The code and the binaries are MIT licensed.

Three approaches, in ascending order of goodness:
Replaced the oil line, checked the oil pump (turns with crankshaft, the plastic gear is tight on the oil pump shaft), cleaned it out, but no oil (well, if I hold it with the oiler down while running, it will start to drip out, but not when horizontal). I was able to 'plastic weld' my tank with a Harbor Freight plastic welding kit. Mac 3200 chainsaw manual.

I have to disagree on the order of goodness - if the OP uses launchd (either with a manually created plist or one created with lingon), they can have it run at boot. If they use an AppleScript based solution like RouteSplit, they won't be able to run it without a user logged in.
Charles, I'm curious, why does using an OS vendor sanctioned tool like launchd seem hackish to you?
