Hi, I am trying to add an anonymous set that is defined as a variable to a named set as follows: define whitelist_v4 = { 1.1.1.1} table inet filter { set whitelist_v4 { type ipv4_addr; } [ ... ] } add element inet filter whitelist_v4 $whitelist_v4 This produces the error: ./testfw.ruleset:290:38-38: Error: syntax error, unexpected '$', expecting '{' add element inet filter whitelist_v4 $whitelist_v4 ^ If I use curly braces instead, there is no error but a failed assertion: add element inet filter whitelist_v4 {$whitelist_v4} produces BUG: invalid data expression type set nft: netlink.c:337: netlink_gen_data: Assertion `0' failed. What is the correct way to use this? Note: Direct definition as `elements = ...` shows the same behaviour. The reason I am using this is because I need the whitelist in the nat (ip) and the filter (inet) table. Yes I could use the anonymous set directly but that would imho make the rules less readable. System: # nft --version nftables v0.6 (Support Edward Snowden) # uname -a Linux maracuja 4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.7.5-1~bpo8+2 (2016-10-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks in advance.
