Package: iptables
Version: 1.3.6.0debian1-5
Severity: important
The ip6tables -m icmp6 --help shows
ICMPv6 v1.3.6 options:
--icmpv6-type [!] typename match icmpv6 type
(or numeric type or type/code)
Valid ICMPv6 Types:
destination-unreachable
no-route
communication-prohibited
address-unreachable
port-unreachable
packet-too-big
time-exceeded (ttl-exceeded)
ttl-zero-during-transit
ttl-zero-during-reassembly
parameter-problem
bad-header
unknown-header-type
unknown-option
echo-request (ping)
echo-reply (pong)
router-solicitation

riddle:~# ip6tables -A FORWARD -m icmp6 -p icmp --icmpv6-type echo-request

riddle:~# ip6tables -A FORWARD -m icmp6 -p icmp --icmpv6-type ping

riddle:~# ip6tables -A FORWARD -m icmp6 -p icmp --icmpv6-type 6
ip6tables: Invalid argument
riddle:~# ip6tables -A FORWARD -m icmp6 -p icmp --icmpv6-type 8
ip6tables: Invalid argument
riddle:~# ip6tables -A FORWARD -m icmp6 -p icmp --icmpv6-type 2222
ip6tables v1.3.6: Invalid ICMPv6 type `2222'
Try `ip6tables -h' or 'ip6tables --help' for more information.
Sometimes it's an invalid argument, other times it's an invalid icmp
type. (the latter is pretty obvious).
Does the --help output need clarification, or did I miss something
simple?
Thanks.

The original subject line and every example provided show mixed
usage of icmp and icmp6 options. Mixing those options does not
work.
