[strongSwan] Strongswan using VTI

Hi !

I hate this vti stuff. Only trouble and much to complex.
Try disable the policies on the vti0 interface. It's under proc/sys/class/net/..vti0/*{policies|xfrm}*

Kind regards,

André

Unfortunately that does not help.

Stats are not showing any drops!

manowar python # cat /sys/class/net/vti0/statistics/rx_bytes
199752
manowar python # ping 10.0.0.2 -I vti0
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) from 10.0.0.1 vti0: 56(84) bytes of data.
^C

2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms

manowar python # cat /sys/class/net/vti0/statistics/rx_bytes

All errors counters under vti0 are remaining to zero.

When I've seen this happen before (interface sees the traffic, ping or some other process does not), it usually means it's getting dropped by the Kernel.

It's usually RP-filtering...  you can try to turn it off:

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vti/rp_filter
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/rp_filter

I wouldn't leave if off permanently, but it might help you get further with testing where the packets are going.

Kernel wise I'm on 3.18.1. I saw few links on the internet about this prerouting mangling rules but it's very unclear if it's needed or not.  I would assume the ikey in the ip tunnel command is enough.

I've modified the config by specifying the local address [ instead of using %any] now I've added left=10.1.1.1

Now I'm one step further. I see bytes_i and bytes_o increasing.

running tcpdump directly on the VTI interface I see the echo-reply arriving

manowar python # tcpdump -nNi vti0
error : ret -1
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on vti0, link-type RAW (Raw IP), capture size 262144 bytes

Still traffic seems not to reach the ping process

ping 10.0.0.2 -I vti0
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) from 10.0.0.1 vti0: 56(84) bytes of data.

vti0 sees the traffic but not the ping process??

I was just trying to get this to work the other day myself and also had problems with the routing.

It wasn’t clear to me if you still need to create the PREROUTING mangle rules. such as:

# mangle PREROUTING rules:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.10.0/24<http://192.168.10.0/24> -d 192.168.11.0/24<http://192.168.11.0/24>
-j MARK --set-mark 32
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p esp -s 10.1.3.2 -d 10.1.1.2 -j MARK
--set-mark 32

>From what I had read the Kernel might have been patched to no longer require this?

Have you checked the SA stats on the Linux box (setkey -D or using the ip xfrm command) to see if the packets are matching the SA and are being decrypted?

Dear Strongswan alias,

I'm trying a VTI config between a linux box and a cisco router.

I do have ESP in

But it seems not be decapsulated by the kernel.

Any ideas why?
