Please confirm that these two are only connected via two interfaces on the bridge/ipfw box, with no switch involved? And that these rules, once working, should deny traffic between ANY hosts in this /24 subnet? > when I reload the rules, I am unable to stop a connection between > machine 1 and machine 2. > > I've already made sure that ipfw is running(loaded), and the rules > appear to take, and even show up with "ipfw show". > > # ipfw show > ... > 01700 0 0 deny ip from 192.168.20.0/24 to any > 01800 0 0 deny ip from any to 192.168.20.0/24 > 65535 9227 11389032 allow ip from any to any > > However, there is no effect on data travelling over the pipe at all. > > This setup was confirmed many times to work with FreeBSD 9.2, but it > does not work on 10. any help is appreciated. What values are set for these sysctls? net.link.ether.ipfw: 0 Controls whether layer-2 packets are passed to ipfw. Default is no. net.link.bridge.ipfw: 0 Controls whether bridged packets are passed to ipfw. Default is no. cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-ipfw@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ipfw To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ipfw-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
