NPF, bridge and IPv6
On NetBSD 8.0 with Xen, I experienced some strange behaviors with npf,
bridged interfaces and IPv6.
The following schema represents a part of my network topology for which
I encountered a problem:
|- dom0 -----------------------------------------------|
| |- domU --------| |
|-----| |---------|---------| | |
| wm0 |---- bridge0 ----| xvif1i0 | xennet0 | | |
|-----| |---------|---------| | |
| |---------------| |
| |
| |- domU---------| |
| |------| |-------- |---------| | |
| | tap0 |- bridge1 -| xvif2i0 | xennet0 | | |
| |------| |---------|---------| | |
| |---------------| |
|------------------------------------------------------|
In my /etc/npf.conf, I have the following rules:
% group "external" on wm0 {
% pass stateful out final all
% pass stateful in final family inet4 proto tcp to wm0 port ssh
% pass stateful in final family inet6 proto tcp to wm0 port ssh
% [...]
% }
I understood that 'pass stateful out final all' allowed all outgoing
connections and established incoming connections.
The imaps (port 993) is not allowed in my 'pass in' rules.
If I comment the line 'pass stateful out final all' and I try to connect
from my dom0 to a remote host on port 993, the connection is refused:
dom0# telnet -4 trashware.triaxx.org 993
Trying 88.180.169.84...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
Same behavior using IPv6:
dom0# telnet -6 trashware.triaxx.org 993
Trying 2a01:e35:8b4a:9540:7271:bcff:fe94:3759...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
If I try to connect from the first domU (linked to bridge0), it
surprisingly works using IPv4:
dumU# telnet -4 trashware.triaxx.org 993
Trying 88.180.169.84...
Connected to trashware.triaxx.org.
Escape character is '^]'
But it doesn't work using IPv6, even if I uncomment the line 'pass
stateful out final all':
domU# telnet -6 trashware.triaxx.org 993
Trying 2a01:e35:8b4a:9540:7271:bcff:fe94:3759...
It's like if stateful was broken for IPv6...
Following is the reminder on what works and what doesn't:
domO/IPv4 dom0/IPv6 domU/IPv4 domU/IPv6
pass stateful out final all X X X O
#pass stateful out final all O 0 X O
Is there known issue related to my experience?
