Static NAT with multiple public interfaces uses wrong outgoing IP #3168

COMPONENT NAME
VR
CLOUDSTACK VERSION
4.11.2
CONFIGURATION

Advanced Networking, XenServer 6.5, Non-VPC

SUMMARY

This is a regression, caused by f60f3ce I believe. When a VR has public IPs on multiple interfaces, a static NAT rule which is not on the first public interface will have outgoing traffic originating from the Source NAT IP. I believe this is because the logic of marking packets was changed from interface number to 100+interface number everywhere except where the static NAT rules are configured in configure.py.

I've been able to fix this temporarily in my own VR by changing configure.py L930 from hex(int(device[len("eth"):])) to hex(100 + int(device[len("eth"):]))

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
  • Assign public IP from different subnet to VR (so that VR gets eth3 created).
  • Deploy a VM on this network
  • Create static NAT rule for this new public IP to the new VM
  • Run curl -s http://ipecho.net/plain inside the VM
EXPECTED RESULTS

Output should be the Static NAT IP

Created firewall rule in mangle / PREROUTING should be: state NEW MARK set 0x67

ACTUAL RESULTS

Output is the Source NAT IP

Created firewall rule in mangle / PREROUTING is be: state NEW MARK set 0x3
