Experts,<br />
<br />
I use APF firewall and am able to add my forwarding rules to /etc/apf/preroute.rules and /etc/postroute.rules<br />
<br />
My rules are set as follows:<br />
<br />
preroute:<br />
<br />
$IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 666 -i eth0:0 -j DNAT --to-destination x.x.x.x:port<br />
<br />
postroute: <br />
<br />
$IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE<br />
<br />
If I change -i eth0:0 to -i eth0 this works. If I keep this as eth0:0, it fails. I want it to work for the virtual interface eth0:0 - is this because I need to add routing tables for the virtual interfaces? Or a more complex iptables expression?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help!<br />

IPTables IP forwarding with virtual interface on linux

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.

Linux Security

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
