Hi,

Please try patch-7-10 in my home directory =
http://people.freebsd.org/~qingli/
and let me know how it works out for you. I thought I had committed the =
patch=20
but turned out I didn't.

This is by design as part of the new architecture in 8.0, which =
maintains=20
the L2 ARP/ND6 and L3 routing tables separately.

Hello,

After upgrading from 7.2-STABLE to 8.0-BETA1 I encounter a problem when=20
connecting with firefox to a local apache server using the global=20
unicast IPv6 address of the local machine. pf.conf must be updated!

My configuration:

[root@avoriaz ~]# ifconfig em0

em0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu =
1500
	options=3D19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
	ether 00:1d:60:ad:2a:ce
	inet 192.168.24.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.24.255
	inet6 fe80::21d:60ff:fead:2ace%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
	inet6 2001:41d0:2:2d29:1:1:: prefixlen 80
	media: Ethernet 100baseTX (100baseTX <half-duplex>)
	status: active

[root@avoriaz ~]# host www.restart.bel
www.restart.bel is an alias for avoriaz.restart.bel.
avoriaz.restart.bel has address 192.168.24.1
avoriaz.restart.bel has IPv6 address 2001:41d0:2:2d29:1:1::

pf.conf:

int_if=3D"em0"
block in  log all
block out log all
set skip on lo0
antispoof quick for $int_if inet
# Allow trafic with physical internal network
pass in quick on $int_if from ($int_if:network) to ($int_if) keep state
pass out quick on $int_if from ($int_if) to ($int_if:network) keep state

The problem:

[root@avoriaz ~]# telnet -4 www.restart.bel 80
Trying 192.168.24.1...
Connected to avoriaz.restart.bel.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
[root@avoriaz ~]# telnet -6 www.restart.bel 80
Trying 2001:41d0:2:2d29:1:1::...
--->Never connect and get a timeout!

tcpdump and logging in pf show me that

For a IPv4 connection:
the packet from telnet to apache pass 2 times on lo0 (out and in)
the answer packet from apache to telnet pass 2 times on lo0 (out and in)

So no problem, there is `set skip on lo0'

For a IPv6 connection:
The first packet from telnet to apache pass 2 times on lo0 (out and in)
The answer packet from apache to telnet path on em0  and is rejected
due to the default flags S/SA.

So I have to change pf.conf and replace the last line:
pass out quick on $int_if from ($int_if) to ($int_if:network) \
keep state flags any

Then all is OK

By the way, on 7.2

netstat -rn display

192.168.24.1        00:1d:60:ad:2a:ce
....
2001:41d0:2:2d29:1:1::            00:1d:60:ad:2a:ce


On 8.0-BETA1 there is an assymetry:

netstat -rn display

192.168.24.1       link#3
....
no entry for 2001:41d0:2:2d29:1:1::

Hope it may help someone

Henri
