#ROUTE PRINT COMMAND FOR MAC MAC#
The primary function of this protocol is to resolve the IP address of a system to its mac address, and hence it works between level 2(Data link layer) and level 3(Network layer). ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. It also allows a complete dump of the ARP cache.

Then just call get_int_name 'Wi-Fi' to get the assigned device name.įor example: route add -host 54.81.143. Show Setup:/Network/Service/$srvc_id/Interface Local srvc_id=$(get_srvc_id_by_name "$1") Local srvc_name=$(get_srvc_name "$srvc_id") You can put these functions in a specific script, or just keep them in your.
#ROUTE PRINT COMMAND FOR MAC HOW TO#
Here's how to translate the user-defined name 'Wi-Fi' into whatever device name (e.g. If you're not sure of the adapter's name, you can specify its MAC address instead, like this: sudo route add -host 54.81.143.201 -link 14:10:9f:e7:fd:0a Once that's done, try either sudo route add -host 54.81.143.201 -iface en0 or sudo ipfw.


Virtual machines often are bridged and have their own IPs/routes/links.) Posting network topology would help. (For example, if both connected networks use the same IP space. Given the above, I guess not.? This and virtual networking due to VMware or Parallels can cause additional complexities. You didn't specify if wireless is your only network connection. The gateway address obviously has to be valid for the subnet, and different WiFi networks will have different subnets. Likewise, make sure the adapter is always connecting to the same SSID. Otherwise when you enter the static route command, if there is no NIC plugged in to the en0 location, the command will (obviously) fail with an "address error" (physical address has no link). Make sure your wireless always has the same name. But if you plug in an adapter to a different port on your Mac, then its NIC name changes. On my MacBook Air, en0 is always wireless Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet is always en3, and USB-to-Ethernet is always en5. Your wireless interface seems to be changing between en0, en3, and en5. Someone asked for my whole routing table, here it is today. So I'm routing hipchat traffic through an open wifi network while still being on my works ethernet. Why am I doing this? Because our company has a proxy that HipChat doesn't work on. What I found is that the interface it chooses is different every time. Sometimes this will work, other times it wont. I'm on a mac and trying to route a particular address though a specific gateway on my wifi connection.
