[leaf-user] Completely clearing portfw rules

2002-08-19 Thread Jeff

I am having a problem on eigerstein and ipchains concerning port 
forwarding tables.
There is an amateur radio app called echolink that is basically Speak 
Freely VOiP. It uses udp ports 5198  5199 for audio and control. On my 
leaf I normally have those ports portfw'ed to my 192.168.2.235 Windows 
laptop, echolink only runs on Windows. I am porting the app to Linux on 
my 192.168.2.205 machine. Ok, I want to test it. I ipmasqadm portfw -f 
to clear the rules forwarding udp 5198/99 to .235 and re-enter the rules 
to port forward the ports to .205.

Now this is the strange part. If I haven't had much traffic with another 
external IP address on those ports when forwarding was to .235, 
everything is fine, 5198/99 packets now go to .205. However, if I had 
already received a number of packets from another host, the udp 5198/99 
packets from that host host STILL go to the .235 Windows machine. Doing 
a ipmasqadm portfw -l shows no rules to forward ANYTHING to .235. But, 
they still go to .235 and 5198/98 packets from other hosts go to .205!
!!

I have to restart the LEAF box to get ALL 5198/99 packets to go to the 
.205 machine.

Am I missing something about how to completely clear the rules tables?

I don't think so.  What you seem to be missing is the difference between
forwarding rules and masquerading connections.  I don't know of a way to
clear out the masquerading connections with ipchains, but you can change
the timeout values with

  ipchains -M -S tcp tcpfin udp

Another puzzle is how to query what the actual timeout values
_are_... I only know how to change the values.

Are you give the command:
svi ipfilter reload
This flushes the filtering rules and reloads them.

If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question!
