By default Linux kernel doesn't forward directed broadcast packets unless both of `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/bc_forwarding` and `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$iface/bc_forwarding` are set to 1. --- src/etc/sysctl.d/30-vyos-router.conf | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/etc/sysctl.d') diff --git a/src/etc/sysctl.d/30-vyos-router.conf b/src/etc/sysctl.d/30-vyos-router.conf index e03d3a29c..4feb7e09a 100644 --- a/src/etc/sysctl.d/30-vyos-router.conf +++ b/src/etc/sysctl.d/30-vyos-router.conf @@ -27,6 +27,12 @@ net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2 # Enable packet forwarding for IPv4 net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 +# Enable directed broadcast forwarding feature described in rfc1812#section-5.3.5.2 and rfc2644. +# Note that setting the 'all' entry to 1 doesn't enable directed broadcast forwarding on all interfaces. +# To enable directed broadcast forwarding on an interface, both the 'all' entry and the input interface entry should be set to 1. +net.ipv4.conf.all.bc_forwarding=1 +net.ipv4.conf.default.bc_forwarding=0 + # if a primary address is removed from an interface promote the # secondary address if available net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_secondaries=1 -- cgit v1.2.3
