Hello, I set up IPSec tunnel and iptables as follows: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
spdadd 172.27.210.0/24 172.27.86.0/24 any -P in ipsec esp/tunnel/172.27.1.3-172.27.1.10/require ah/tunnel/172.27.1.3-172.27.1.10/require; spdadd 172.27.86.0/24 172.27.210.0/24 any -P out ipsec esp/tunnel/172.27.1.10-172.27.1.3/require ah/tunnel/172.27.1.10-172.27.1.3/require; SAs are established between 172.27.1.3 and 172.27.1.10: src 172.27.1.3 dst 172.27.1.10 proto esp spi 0x0745d68a src 172.27.1.3 dst 172.27.1.10 proto ah spi 0x08751c15 src 172.27.1.10 dst 172.27.1.3 proto esp spi 0x06170697 src 172.27.1.10 dst 172.27.1.3 proto ah spi 0x058572c2 but cannot connect from 172.27.210.0/24 to 172.27.86.0/24. I noticed this is a strange setting, a solution is not masquerade from 172.27.210.0/24 to 172.27.86.0/24. But packets are curious in this setting. ping from 172.27.210.10 to 172.27.86.1 (is another IF of 172.27.1.10) IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: AH(spi=0x80031c15,seq=0x1): IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: ESP(spi=0x0745d68a,seq=0x1) (ipip-proto-4) IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: AH(spi=0x80031c15,seq=0x2): IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: ESP(spi=0x0745d68a,seq=0x2) (ipip-proto-4) IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: AH(spi=0x80031c15,seq=0x3): IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: ESP(spi=0x0745d68a,seq=0x3) (ipip-proto-4) stop ping and again, IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: AH(spi=0x83031c15,seq=0x45): IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: ESP(spi=0x0745d68a,seq=0x45) (ipip-proto-4) IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: AH(spi=0x83031c15,seq=0x46): IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: ESP(spi=0x0745d68a,seq=0x46) (ipip-proto-4) IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: AH(spi=0x83031c15,seq=0x47): IP 172.27.1.3 > 172.27.1.10: ESP(spi=0x0745d68a,seq=0x47) (ipip-proto-4) It seems that something overwrite AH's spi. Simply changing nat_packet() in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_core.c - if (!manip_pkt(target.dst.protonum, pskb, 0, &target, mtype)) + if (!manip_pkt((*pskb)->nh.iph->protocol, pskb, 0, &target, mtype)) seems working only in this case, but ssh doesn't work. Needs more work? or is this a desirable behavior? thanks, - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
