The following ioctl(2) calls may be used to manipulate the ipnat sub-system inside of ipf. Note that the ipnat driver only accept calls from applications using the same data model as the kernel. In other words, 64-bit kernels can only accept calls from 64-bit applications. Calls from 32-bit applications fail with EINVAL.

SIOCSTLCK

Set or clear the NAT lock to prevent table updates attributable to packet flow-through.

SIOCGNATL

Search the NAT table for the rdr entry that matches the fields in the natlookup structure. The caller must populate the structure with the address/port information of the accepted TCP connection (nl_inip, nl_inport) and the address/port information of the peer (nl_outip, nl_outport). The nl_flags field must have the IPN_TCP option set. All other fields must be set to 0. If the call succeeds, nl_realip and nl_realport are set to the real destination address and port, respectively. The nl_inport and nl_outport fields must be in host byte order. If IPN_FINDFORWARD is set in nl_flags, a check is made to see if it is possible to create an outgoing NAT session by checking if a packet coming from (nl_realip, nl_realport) and destined for (nl_outip, nl_outport) can be translated. If translation is possible, the flag remains set, otherwise it is cleared in the structure returned to the caller.

SIOCSTPUT

Move a NAT mapping structure from user space into the kernel. This ioctl is used by ipfs(1M) to restore NAT sessions saved in /var/db/ipf/ipnat.ipf. The nat_save structure must have its ipn_nat and ipn_ipnat structures filled out correctly. Fields not assigned a value must be initialised to 0. All pointer fields are adjusted, as appropriate, once the structure is passed into the kernel and none are preserved.

To create a translation, the following fields must be set:

Interface name

The interface name on which the host is to be exited must be set in nat_ifnames[0].

Local IP address and port number

The connection's local IP address and port number are stored in network byte order using nat_inip/nat_inport.

Destination address/port

The destination address/port are stored in nat_oip/nat_oport.

Target address/port

The translation's target address/port is stored in nat_outip/nat_outport.

The caller must also precalculate the checksum adjustments necessary to complete the translation and store those values in nat_sumd (delta required for TCP header) and nat_ipsumd (delta required for IP header).

EXAMPLES

In the code segment below, incoming_fd is the TCP connection file descriptor that is accepted as part of the redirect process, while remote_fd is the outgoing TCP connection to the remote server being translated back to the original IP address/port pair.

Note — The following ipnat headers must be included before you can use the code shown in this example:

#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <netinet/ipl.h>
#include <netinet/ip_compat.h>
#include <netinet/ip_fil.h>
#include <netinet/ip_nat.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

Note — In the example below, various code fragments have been excluded to enhance clarity.

ERRORS

EPERM

The device has been opened for reading only. To succeed, the ioctl call must be opened for both reading and writing. The call may be returned if it is privileged and the calling process did not assert {PRIV_SYS_NET_CONFIG} in the effective set.

ENOMEM

More memory was allocated than the kernel can provide. The call may also be returned if the application inserts a NAT entry that exceeds the hash bucket chain's maximum length.

EFAULT

The calling process specified an invalid pointer in the ipfobj structure.

EINVAL

The calling process detected a parameter or field set to an unacceptable value.

EEXIST

The calling process, via SIOCSTPUT, attempted to add a NAT entry that already exists in the NAT table.

ESRCH

The calling process called SIOCSTPUT before setting the SI_NEWFR flag and providing a pointer in the nat_fr field that cannot be found in the current rule set.

EACESS

The calling process issued a SIOCSTPUT before issuing a SIOCSTLCK.
