Bug ID: 297197
Summary: fib handling of ipv6 via gif is broken / ipfw
overwrites default route
Product: Base System
Version: 14.4-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: sec@42.org
My setup is:
re0: configured with IPv4 with 192.168.42.42/24 and an ipv6 ip via rtsol.
igb0: configured with static IP ($igb_v4) and a static v6 net ($igb_v6/64) and
set to fib1
gif0: configured tunnel "tunnel $igb_v4 $remote link2 fib 1"
in fib1 i manually configure a default v4 route
route_gw2="default $router -fib 1"
and a default v6 route
ipv6_route_gw2="default -interface gif0 -fib 1"
ipfw table has an rule for v4:
setfib 1 ip from $igb_v4 to any
this works fine on v4. However v6 does not work, as packets sent to $igb_v6 are
returned unencapsulated via re0 by default.
Generally I would have expected this to work without any fiddling with ipfw,
but I'll gladly take pointers on what I did wrong.
If I add a corresponding ipfw rule
setfib 1 ip6 from $igb_v6 to any
routing for $igb_v6 works, but every packet that triggers that rule OVERWRITES
the fib 0 ipv6 default route with the target ip.
For example:
route to: ::
destination: ::
mask: ::
gateway: 2610:1c1:1:606c::19:2
fib: 0
interface: re0
flags: <UP,GATEWAY,DONE,STATIC>
recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec mtu weight expire
0 0 0 0 1500 1 0
This then breaks normal v6 networking on re0 / fib 0 completely.
I did try setting "tunnelfib 1" on gif0, but that seemed to have no effect with
respect to routing.
