How to permanently add a route in OS X?












3














I have a Mac Pro and the problem is that it is not connecting to systems in other VLANs.
This can be temporarily archived by 



sudo route -n add -net <IP>/mask  <Gateway>


However it vanishes in the next laptop restart. How can I add the route permanently?

Found an article which suggests adding something like this



ifconfig en2 inet 11.22.33.5 netmask 255.255.255.252

route -n add 11.22.33.64/26 111.222.333.6


to /etc/rc.common. Apparently the preceding ifconfig line is necessary, though I don't know why.

    I myself didn't manage to make it work with the solution that pabo provided.
    I ended up running it in the crontab:



    env EDITOR=nano crontab -e



    add the script line:



    @reboot sh /path/to/your/script.sh



    make sure that if you need sudo rights, you would need to disable password for sudo use for your script. More info here:



    https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/264663/shutdown-no-tty-present-and-no-askpass-program-specified



    Additionally, if you are using some build in commands in mac, like for example route you need to specify full path of the binary file. Here is example of script.sh file:



    sudo /sbin/route add 192.168.64.0/16 192.168.100.1

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
