Hello,
I would like to patch mac/ip pair match, how to do that? any body help me
If you want to match IP against MAC address, then check the iptables's
_mac_ match:
# iptables -m mac -help
Example: rule for forwarding packets matching certain IP/MAC pair is:
# iptables -A FORWARD -s <IP _address> -m -mac --mac-source <MAC
address> -j ACCEPT
... but if you want to "patch a match", then you need to specify a bit
more detailed what are you trying to do.
The _mac_ match exist into the default iptables source (./extensions)
e.g. you don't need to patch anything. Just install iptables and enable
the match inside your kernel's .config file (CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC=y)
and finally recompile (and install) the new kernel.
