<column name="port_security">
- <p>
- A set of L2 (Ethernet) addresses from which the logical port is
- allowed to send packets and to which it is allowed to receive
- packets. If this column is empty, all addresses are permitted.
- Logical ports are always allowed to receive packets addressed to
- multicast and broadcast addresses.
- </p>
+ <p>
+ This column controls the addresses from which the host attached to the
+ logical port (``the host'') is allowed to send packets and to which it
+ is allowed to receive packets. If this column is empty, all addresses
+ are permitted.
+ </p>
- <p>
- Each member of the set is an Ethernet address in the form
-
<var>xx</var>:<var>xx</var>:<var>xx</var>:<var>xx</var>:<var>xx</var>:<var>xx</var>.
- </p>
+ <p>
+ Each element in the set must contain one Ethernet address optionally
+ masked followed by zero or more IPv4 or IPv6 addresses (or both).
+ It would restrict the host to sending packets from and receiving
+ packets to the ethernet addresses defined in the logical port's
+ <ref column="port_security"/> column. It also restricts the inner
+ source MAC addresses that the host may send in ARP and IPv6
+ Neighbor Discovery packets. The host is always allowed to receive
packets
+ to multicast and broadcast Ethernet addresses.
+ </p>
- <p>
- This specification will be extended to support L3 port security.
- </p>
- </column>
+ <p>
+ Each element in the set may additionally contain one or more IPv4 or
+ IPv6 addresses (or both), with optional masks. If a mask is given, it
+ must be a CIDR mask. In addition to the restrictions described for
+ Ethernet addresses above, such an element restricts the IPv4 or IPv6
+ addresses from the host may send and to which it may receive to packets
+ to the specified addresses. A masked address, if the host part is
+ zero, indicates that the host is allowed to use any addresses in the
+ subnet; if the host part is nonzero, the mask simply indicates the size
+ of the subnet. In addition:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ If any IPv4 address is given, the host is also allowed to receive
+ packets to the IPv4 local broadcast address 255.255.255.255 and to
+ IPv4 multicast addresses (224.0.0.0/4). If an IPv4 address with a
+ mask is given, the host is also allowed to receive packets to the
+ broadcast address in that specified subnet.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If any IPv4 address is given, the host is additionally restricted
+ to sending ARP packets with the specified source IPv4 address.
+ (RARP is not restricted.)
+ </p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ If any IPv6 address is given, the host is also allowed to receive
+ packets to IPv6 multicast addresses (ff00::/8).
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If any IPv6 address is given, the host is additionally restricted
+ to sending IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Solicitation or Advertisement
+ packets with the specified source address or, for solicitations,
+ the unspecified address.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ If an element includes an IPv4 address, but no IPv6 addresses, then
+ IPv6 traffic is not allowed. If an element includes an IPv6 address,
+ but no IPv4 address, then IPv4 and ARP traffic is not allowed.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This column uses the same lexical syntax as the <ref column="match"
+ table="Pipeline" db="OVN_Southbound"/> column in the OVN Southbound
+ database's <ref table="Pipeline" db="OVN_Southbound"/> table. Multiple
+ addresses within an element may be space or comma separated.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This column is provided as a convenience to cloud management systems,
+ but all of the features that it implements can be implemented as ACLs
+ using the <ref table="ACL"/> table.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Examples:
+ </p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>80:fa:5b:06:72:b7</code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ The host may send traffic from and receive traffic to the specified
+ MAC address, and to receive traffic to Ethernet multicast and
+ broadcast addresses, but not otherwise. The host may not send ARP or
+ IPv6 Neighbor Discovery packets with inner source Ethernet addresses
+ other than the one specified.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><code>00:23:20:00:00:00/ff:ff:ff:00:00:00</code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ Similar to the first example, except that any Ethernet address in the
+ Nicira OUI is allowed.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><code>80:fa:5b:06:72:b7 192.168.1.10/24</code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ This adds further restrictions to the first example. The host may
+ send IPv4 packets from or receive IPv4 packets to only 192.168.1.10,
+ except that it may also receive IPv4 packets to 192.168.1.255 (based
+ on the subnet mask), 255.255.255.255, and any address n 224.0.0.0/4.
+ The host may not send ARPs with a source Ethernet address other than
+ 80:fa:5b:06:72:b7 or source IPv4 address other than 192.168.1.10.
+ The host may not send or receive any IPv6 (including IPv6 Neighbor
+ Discovery) traffic.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><code>"80:fa:5b:12:42:ba", "80:fa:5b:06:72:b7
192.168.1.10/24"</code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ In this case, the host may send traffic from and receive traffic to
the
+ specified MAC addresses - "80:fa:5b:12:42:ba" and
"80:fa:5b:06:72:b7", and
+ to receive traffic to Ethernet multicast and broadcast addresses,
+ but not otherwise. With mac "80:fa:5b:12:42:ba", host may
+ send traffic from and receive traffic to any l3 address.
+ With mac "80:fa:5b:06:72:b7" the host may send IPv4 packets from or
+ receive IPv4 packets to only 192.168.1.10, except that it may also
+ receive IPv4 packets to 192.168.1.255 (based on the subnet mask),
+ 255.255.255.255, and any address n 224.0.0.0/4 and the host may not
+ send or receive any IPv6 (including IPv6 Neighbor Discovery) traffic.
