[Firehol-support] message from xt_physdev when running firehol in bridge configuration

[JT]

I'm having the same problem using bridged traffic. My resolution has
been to write my own manual iptables entries in firehol.conf.

vif+  <> br0 <> br1<> eth1
          /\
          \/
         eth0

br0 and br1 have physical address associated with them (eth0/vif+ and
eth1 respectively). Whenever I try to route or create interface rules
with a physout/physin I get the syslog message (even though it is
bridged traffic). Please let me know if it's user error.

For example, firehol.conf has:
router vm2inet inface vif+ outface br0 physout eth0
    route all               accept

which generates:
"xt_physdev: using --physdev-out in the OUTPUT, FORWARD and POSTROUTING
chains for non-bridged traffic is not supported anymore."

instead I use:
iptables -I FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged --physdev-in vif+
--physdev-out eth0 -j ACCEPT

So far any combination of inface/outface/physin/physout generates the
message. Let me know what other information I can provide.

Thanks,

JT

If I omit those keywords it doesn’t happen. Can I still use ‘physin’ and ‘physout’ with my bridge somehow? They’re useful for knowing which direction the traffic is going through the bridge...
