Dear list members, i have followed pppoe(4) instructions on setting it up. It works perfectly. But, i am very confused with the output for the netstat -rn command (only relevant part)
Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Interface default 0.0.0.1 UGS 1 8 - pppoe0 0.0.0.1 default UH 1 0 - pppoe0 127/8 127.0.0.1 UGRS 0 0 33224 lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 0 33224 lo0 224/4 127.0.0.1 URS 0 0 33224 lo0 For ifconfig -a, we have (only relevant part too): pppoe0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492 dev: bge0 state: session sid: 0xf0e2 PADI retries: 1 PADR retries: 0 time: 00:00:44 sppp: phase network authproto pap authname "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" groups: pppoe egress inet6 fe80::211:11ff:fee3:927e%pppoe0 -> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 inet 201.78.17.238 --> 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff I am not able to understand the cycle between 0.0.0.1 to default and default to 0.0.0.1 entries for the routing information. I am very confused. Thanks in advance.
