Create static arp using services-start to survive reboot?

[Wam7]

I'm trying to find out how to add i.e. arp -s 192.168.1.2 AB:CD:EF:1G:2F:3G to the services-start so that it can survive a reboot.

At the moment I've just entered the above string via kitty but it is not permanently added. Could somebody who knows about these things more than I point me to how to add this to the startup so it survives a reboot?

Cheers.

Have you seen this?

Thanks but yes have seen that but it doesn't give much in the way of examples how to achieve what I'm attempting to do.

1) Make sure the JFFS partition is enabled.
2) Use an editor to create your script. *
3) Reboot.

That's it.

* services-start doesn't exist by default so you'll have to create it.

What is the syntax for me to create a script? Assume I have no Linux scripting knowledge. Also don't you have to make the script executable?

Try this:

cat << EOF > /jffs/scripts/services-start
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/arp -s 192.168.1.2 AB:CD:EF:1G:2F:3G
EOF

chmod 777 /jffs/scripts/services-start

reboot

I get the " PERM on br0" so that has worked like a charm. Much appreciated. That was the final piece in the jigsaw after getting Ipv6 and VPN working after moving from Shibby Tomato where they are much easier to implement but troublesome wifi.

It worked PERFECTLY on my Asus RT-AC68U with AsusWRT-Merlin firmware as I've written here:

Thank you Wam7 and ColinTaylor for your contribution and efforts.
