FreeBSD - Add default route

$ route add default 192.168.0.1
add net default: gateway 192.168.0.1

Right now, your machine's default route is through 192.168.0.1 gateway.

To view the routing table:

$ netstat -rn

ROUTE(8)                FreeBSD System Manager's Manual               ROUTE(8)

NAME
     route -- manually manipulate the routing tables

SYNOPSIS
     route [-dnqtv] command [[modifiers] args]

DESCRIPTION
     The route utility is used to manually manipulate the network routing
     tables. It normally is not needed, as a system routing table management
     daemon, such as routed(8), should tend to this task.

     The route utility supports a limited number of general options, but a
     rich command language, enabling the user to specify any arbitrary request
     that could be delivered via the programmatic interface discussed in
     route(4).

NAME
     netstat -- show network status

DESCRIPTION
     The netstat command symbolically displays the contents of various net-
     work-related data structures. There are a number of output formats,
     depending on the options for the
netstat -r [-AanW] [-f address_family] [-M core] [-N system]
             Display the contents of all routing tables, or a routing table
             for a particular address_family. If -A is also present, show the
             contents of the internal Patricia tree structures; used for
             debugging. If -a is also present, show protocol-cloned routes
             (routes generated by an RTF_PRCLONING parent route); normally
             these routes are not shown. When -W is also present, show the
             path MTU for each route, and print interface names with a wider
             field size.
information presented.
     -n    Show network addresses and ports as numbers. Normally netstat
           attempts to resolve addresses and ports, and display them symboli-
           cally.
