Description Mark Harrison 2010-04-06 21:30:06 UTC 
It is not possible to set up static/default routes for alternate fib on startup via rc.conf. The current method is to use rc.local and manually run 'setfib <n> route add ...'

Fix: This patch adds support for setting up static routes in alternate fibs in
rc.conf. For fibs other than 0, append _fib<n> to the relevant configuration
options normally dealt with by the routing rc script.

E.g.

static_routes_fib1="foo bar"
defaultrouter_fib1="10.0.0.1"

This requires that multiple fib support be compiled into the kernel.

In addition, the stop function flushes routes for all fibs on the system.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Recompile the kernel with multiple fib support (sysctl net.fibs should be > 1). Try to set up static routes for a fib > 0.
