Is it possible to set route table priority or metric? On Ubuntu I can run following commands to achieve what I want, but I can't find alternative for OS X

sudo ip rule add from all lookup $ROUTE_TABLE_NAME prio 1000
sudo ip route add default via $ROUTER_IP dev $LOCAL_IFACE metric 0  table $ROUTE_TABLE_NAME
sudo ip route add default via $VPN_IP dev $VPN_IFACE metric 1  table $ROUTE_TABLE_NAME

I would appreciate any guidance.

The effect you are after can be had with the route command using the -hopcount value.

route add -net 1.2.3.0 123.123.123.123 0.0.0.0 -hopcount 4

The larger a hopcount, the lower the priority.

Hopcount is indicating the number of steps or routers that traffic must pass through to reach a destination. All unix systems will choose the lower hopcount by default.

You can also look at adding the -lock modifier to lock the hopcount in.

man route
