Tunnel metada...n action in tc(8) LinuxTunnel metada...n action in tc(8)
tunnel_key - Tunnel metadata manipulation
tc ... action tunnel_key { unset | SET }
SET := set src_ip ADDRESS dst_ip ADDRESS id KEY_ID dst_port
UDP_PORT tos TOS ttl TTL [ csum | nocsum ]
The tunnel_key action combined with a shared IP tunnel device,
allows one to perform IP tunnel en- or decapsulation on a packet,
reflected by the operation modes UNSET and SET. The UNSET mode
is optional - even without using it, the metadata information
will be released automatically when packet processing will be
finished. UNSET function could be used in cases when traffic is
forwarded between two tunnels, where the metadata from the first
tunnel will be used for encapsulation done by the second tunnel.
SET mode requires the source and destination ip ADDRESS and the
tunnel key id KEY_ID which will be used by the ip tunnel shared
device to create the tunnel header. The tunnel_key action is
useful only in combination with a mirred redirect action to a
shared IP tunnel device which will use the metadata (for SET )
and unset the metadata created by it (for UNSET ).
unset Unset the tunnel metadata created by the IP tunnel device.
This function is not mandatory and might be used only in
some specific use cases (as explained above).
set Set tunnel metadata to be used by the IP tunnel device.
Requires src_ip and dst_ip options. id , dst_port ,
geneve_opts , vxlan_opts and erspan_opts are optional.
id Tunnel ID (for example VNI in VXLAN tunnel)
src_ip Outer header source IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
dst_ip Outer header destination IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
dst_port
Outer header destination UDP port
geneve_opts
Geneve variable length options. geneve_opts is
specified in the form CLASS:TYPE:DATA, where CLASS
is represented as a 16bit hexadecimal value, TYPE
as an 8bit hexadecimal value and DATA as a variable
length hexadecimal value. Additionally multiple
options may be listed using a comma delimiter.
vxlan_opts
Vxlan metadata options. vxlan_opts is specified in
the form GBP, as a 32bit number. Multiple options
is not supported.
erspan_opts
Erspan metadata options. erspan_opts is specified
in the form VERSION:INDEX:DIR:HWID, where VERSION
is represented as a 8bit number, INDEX as an 32bit
number, DIR and HWID as a 8bit number. Multiple
options is not supported. Note INDEX is used when
VERSION is 1, and DIR and HWID are used when
VERSION is 2.
tos Outer header TOS
ttl Outer header TTL
[no]csum
Controls outer UDP checksum. When set to csum
(which is default), the outer UDP checksum is
calculated and included in the packets. When set to
nocsum, outer UDP checksum is zero. Note that when
using zero UDP checksums with IPv6, the other
tunnel endpoint must be configured to accept such
packets. In Linux, this would be the
udp6zerocsumrx option for the VXLAN tunnel
interface.
If using nocsum with IPv6, be sure you know what
you are doing. Zero UDP checksums provide weaker
protection against corrupted packets. See RFC6935
for details.
nofrag disallow IP fragmentation.
The following example encapsulates incoming ICMP packets on eth0
into a vxlan tunnel, by setting metadata to VNI 11, source IP
11.11.0.1 and destination IP 11.11.0.2, and by redirecting the
packet with the metadata to device vxlan0, which will do the
actual encapsulation using the metadata:
#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
#tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
flower \
ip_proto icmp \
action tunnel_key set \
src_ip 11.11.0.1 \
dst_ip 11.11.0.2 \
id 11 \
action mirred egress redirect dev vxlan0
Here is an example of the unset function: Incoming VXLAN traffic
with outer IP's and VNI 11 is decapsulated by vxlan0 and metadata
is unset before redirecting to tunl1 device:
#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
#tc filter add dev vxlan0 protocol ip parent ffff: flower \
enc_src_ip 11.11.0.2 enc_dst_ip 11.11.0.1 enc_key_id 11 action tunnel_key unset action mirred egress redirect dev tunl1
