Task: View / Display FreeBSD Routing Table

Use the netstat command with -r option as follows:

$ netstat -r
$ netstat -rn

How do I save routing information to a configuration file?

If you reboot FreeBSD box, the routing configuration will be lost i.e. the routing information will not persist. You need to edit /etc/rc.conf file to set defaultroute:

   # vi /etc/rc.conf

Set default route by editing defaultrouter variable:

 defaultrouter="192.168.1.254"
