[PATCH v2] Add V6LOCAL nwfilter parameter.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, adding any sort of IPv6 nwfilter rules is rather difficult.
There are no standard rules, and you end up doing a lot of things by
hand.  This patch makes the $V6LOCAL variable available within nwfilter
nules.  This is the generated from the interface's mac address using
the modified EUI-64 format, which matches what the guest should be
using.

This is part of what information is needed to correctly filter guest
IPv6 traffic.  Since this changes with the MAC address, it is
significantly easier if libvirt populates it (rather then requiring the
user to enter it).

As an example, an interface with a MAC address of "12:34:45:46:23:41"
would have a V6LOCAL value of "fe80::1034:45ff:fe46:2341"
