A while ago I wrote a post about using launchd to configure static routes on OS X. This works fine except at boot time. Â Just when I need it the most.

Giving up is easy. And I figured that there had to be a way to configure persistent static routes. This time the approach is using the command networksetup to do the job. It is not the easiest but it does the job. Routes configured on my server have survived a reboot!

Otherwise when you enter the static route command, if there is no NIC plugged in to the. Route add -host 54.81.143.201 -link mac addr of 192.168.15.1 on en0. To add a static route open Terminal.app from Spotlight Search and use command “route add”. Sudo route -n add 192.168.2.0/24.

Is a command with many options. The option that does it is sudo networksetup -setadditionalroutes. It requires options such as the network, network mask and router to reach this network. It also requires the name of a networkservice. And this is where things become slightly more difficult.

A service is a name assigned to a network interface. Using the low level network names is not possible unfortunate. Time to figure out how to retrieve the names of the services. This is done with the command networksetup -listallnetworkservices. Now we have the names of the services. Time to inspect them further and try to find the service that we want to use for our persistent route.

The command networksetup -info <networkservice> will give us detailed information. Â Just go through the list shown above until we find the service we’re after.

Once we have the network service identified we can add a static route with the command networksetup -setadditionalroutes <networkservice> [ <dest> <mask> <gateway> ]

Check the result with networksetup -getaddtionalroutes

I have an Acer Aspire ES1-511 C0DV and need to know how to boot from a USB drive. Also as long as I am here, has anyone heard of drivers for touchpad for Windows 10 on same device. I updated to windows 10 and now have no touchpad. To be able to boot from USB, the USB bootable media must be partitioned as UEFI compatible and FAT32 formatted. How to boot acer aspire from usb.

I want my server to be able to reach the network 10.0.0.0/24 via gateway 192.168.15.254. First I’m looking for a network service that connects to the network 192.168.15.0/24. As a result I learn that the network service name is ‘LAN’. Now I can add the route to this network service and check the result.
