4.2.8 supports IKEv1 only, and this protocol supports full subnets only.
Or is there an extension for arbitrary address ranges?

The newer IKEv2 supports such address ranges, and our daemon can
actually negotiated them. But:
 1) there is currently no way to configure such ranges in ipsec.conf
 2) the Linux kernel can handle policies with full subnets only

If a range is negotiated, it gets mapped to the next larger subnet.

It would require major effort to extend the kernel accordingly. So it
probably won't happen soon, unless somebody is willing to sponsor it.

Martin

Hello Brian,

The IKEv2 charon daemon supports arbitrary IP ranges
for traffic selectors but the IPsec stack of the Linux
kernel can configure subnets based on network masks only.

BTW, 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 can be written as 0.0.0.0/0

Regards

Andreas

No, we currently don't support arbitrary address ranges.  Such ranges
are simply mapped to the smallest subnet containing at least all the
addresses (192.168.2.0/24 in your case).

> If not does any one have an idea to implement it?

You have to manually split your range into multiple subnets and use
these in left|rightsubnet.  For your range this would give you a list of
10 subnets:

  192.168.2.3/32, 192.168.2.4/30, 192.168.2.8/29, 192.168.2.16/28,
  192.168.2.32/27, 192.168.2.64/26, 192.168.2.128/26, 192.168.2.192/27,
  192.168.2.224/29, 192.168.2.232/31

I just added a ticket for this [1], so we will probably add support for
address ranges in one of our next releases.

Tobias
