OK - I think I made a mistake in setting up the ipsec-vpn, so ipfilter had 
nothing to do with it.

FYI: I did set up OSPF-routing thru the vpn tunnel and since the far side 
exports its connected routes, Opensolaris learned the peer-gateway-IP as 
reachable thru the tunnel.
Once, OSPF-neighborhood got established and routes exchanged, Opensolaris 
didn't use it's static default route, but tried to use the OPSF-Route, which it 
couldn't use since it tried to send out the ESP-Packtes thru the tunnel....

I assumed that the static default route due to it's better metric would be 
preferred over the OSPF-Route, but I guess that Opensolaris utilized the OSPF 
route due to a more precise Netmask for the destination-IP.
Every 40 Seconds, the OSPF route became invalid since the HELOS didn't get 
exchange due to the Hen+Egg Problem in the routing. In this stage, the default 
route was used, everything worked fine and - of course OSPF HELOS got exchanged 
again.
For the time, it took Opensolaris to establish a valid OSPF route, everything 
was working fine....

I now set a static host route to the far side gateway which should defeat the 
ospf-route anyway and reachability between the two systems seem stable now.

Sorry for keeping you busy - I'll now start with the real ipfilter stuff...

Cheers,
Kai

Sorry - forgot to mention: I'm using the latest stable Version 2009.06.

Betreff: [networking-discuss] ipfilter passes only 15% of the packets

Hi!

I just started with ipfilter on opensolaris. I'm experiencing a (IMHO)
strange behaviour:
I am using Opensolaris as filtering router and for testing allowing
traffic to a particular system:


r...@kunde003-wan:/etc/ipf# ipfstat -io
empty list for ipfilter(out)
pass in log quick on wan3001 from 213.172.123.138/32 to 213.172.115.4/32
pass in log quick on wan3001 from 120.0.0.0/24 to 213.172.115.4/32

In conjunction with Nat, I can see about 14-15 icmp echo requests from
120.0.0.33 hitting 213.172.115.4 and then the next about 34-37 icmp echo
requests get dropped by Opensolaris (the cycle repeats permanently with
slightly varying numbers).

Out of curiosity, I commented out the NAT rule and refreshed ipfilter.
Now, no packets get routed to the target at all.
I then re-enabled the nat rule and refreshed ipfilter. Still - no
packets get routed to the target.


What is causing this inconsistent behavior and how can I stabilize the
functionality?

Cheers,
Kai
