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?
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:
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
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.
