NAME
ipnat - IP Filter/NAT module interface
DESCRIPTION

The ipnat device provides interfaction with the NAT features of the Solaris IPFilter.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

The NAT features programming model is a component of the Solaris IP Filter and is accessed via the NAT device file /dev/ipnat. Opening the device for reading or writing determines which ioctl calls can be successfully made.

IOCTLS

The caller must construct a ipfobj structure when issuing a SIOCGNATL or SIOCSTPUT. The ipfobj structure is then passed to the ioctl call and is filled out with ipfo_type set to IPFOBJ_value. IPFOBJ_ value provides a matching name for the structure, while ipfo_size is set to the total size of the structure being passed and ipfo_ptr is set to the structure address. The ipfo_rev structure should be set to the current value of IPFILTER_VERSION, while ipfo_offset and ipfo_xxxpad should be set to 0.

/*
 * Structure used with SIOCGNATL/SIOCSTPUT.
 */
 /*
 * Object structure description. For passing through in ioctls.
 */
 typedef struct ipfobj {
 u_32_t ipfo_rev; /* IPFilter version (IPFILTER_VERSION) */
 u_32_t ipfo_size; /* size of object at ipfo_ptr */
 void *ipfo_ptr; /* pointer to object */
 int ipfo_type; /* type of object being pointed to */
 int ipfo_offset; /* bytes from ipfo_ptr where to start */
 u_char ipfo_xxxpad[32]; /* reserved for future use */
 } ipfobj_t;

 #define IPFILTER_VERSION 4010901 /* IPFilter version */
 #define IPFOBJ_NATSAVE 8 /* struct nat_save */
 #define IPFOBJ_NATLOOKUP 9 /* struct natlookup */

The following ioctl() 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.

 */
 #define IPN_TCP 0x00001
 #define IPN_FINDFORWARD 0x400000
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

The following example shows how to prepare and use SIOCSTPUT to insert a NAT session directly into the table. Note that the usual TCP/IP code is omitted is this example.

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.
