Bug ID: 205926 Summary: jail(8): fails to parse ifconfig parameters in ip4.addr and ip6.addr after /netmask Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mark.marti...@ijs.si The jail(8) man page states that additional ifconfig parameters may be supplied after ip-address/netmask in ip4.addr and ip6.addr (which is needed for example to specify a CARPed IP address): The manpage states: ip4.addr In addition to the IP addresses that are passed to the kernel, an interface, netmask and additional paramters (as supported by ifconfig(8)) may also be specified, in the form “interface|ip-address/netmask param ...”. As it turns out this does not work, unless /netmask is omitted. Seems like the check_intparams() in /usr/src/usr.sbin/jail/config.c assumes that everything after a slash is a netmask or a mask-length (or IPv6 prefix length), so any parameter following a /netmask is treated as a netmask syntax error. Example: # jail -c ip4.addr='igb0|10.0.0.246/24 vhid 23 advskew 100' \ ip6.addr='igb0|2001:db8::246/64 vhid 23 advskew 100' [...] jail: ip4.addr: bad netmask "/24 vhid 23 advskew 100" jail: ip6.addr: bad prefixlen "/64 vhid 23 advskew 100" Omitting the /24 (and /64) works as intended, but the implied mask length is /32 (and /128). An attempted workaround like: ip4.addr='igb0|10.0.0.246 netmask 255.255.255.0 vhid 23 advskew 100' produces a double netmask option to ifconfig, which may be ambiguous (or a potential syntax error) - as reported by jail -v : run command: /sbin/ifconfig igb0 inet 10.0.0.246 \ netmask 255.255.255.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 vhid 23 advskew 100 alias ( Btw, why does the jail(8) bother to convert a mask length into a netmask, where the ifconfig is perfectly happy with a CIDR notation? ) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
