WAN load-balancing fail when !<x.x.x.x/x> configured in rules
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Hello!

If in load-balancing add rule with inverse selection WANLOADBALANCE_PRE chain becomes empty. Example:

[edit load-balancing wan]
vyos@test-01# show rule 10
 inbound-interface eth2
 interface eth0 {
     weight 10
 }
 interface eth1 {
     weight 10
 }
 protocol all
[edit load-balancing wan]
vyos@test-01# sudo iptables -t mangle -L WANLOADBALANCE_PRE -n -v 
Chain WANLOADBALANCE_PRE (1 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
    0     0 ISP_eth0   all  --  eth2   *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            state NEW statistic mode random probability 0.50000000000
    0     0 ISP_eth1   all  --  eth2   *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            state NEW
    0     0 CONNMARK   all  --  eth2   *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            CONNMARK restore
[edit load-balancing wan]
vyos@test-01# set rule 10 destination address !192.168.0.0/16
[edit load-balancing wan]
vyos@test-01# commit
[edit load-balancing wan]
vyos@test-01# sudo iptables -t mangle -L WANLOADBALANCE_PRE -n -v 
Chain WANLOADBALANCE_PRE (1 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
[edit load-balancing wan]

The same situation will be if add source address !192.168.0.0/16.

There we go. So it's a syntax issue when calling iptables.

@zsdc All right, http://dev.packages.vyos.net/repositories/current/vyos/pool/main/v/vyatta-wanloadbalance/vyatta-wanloadbalance_0.13.70+vyos2+current1_amd64.deb should solve the issue you are seeing. The code of the binary is good for another dozen bug tickets =)
Pls let me know if it works as expected, since I only tested your particular use case.

hagbard triaged this task as Normal priority.

@zsdc Is it working for you with the package above?

@hagbardIt fixes the issue with WANLOADBALANCE_PRE chain, but we still observe unexpected behavior.
I will write a little bit more letter.

syncer moved this task from Need Triage to Finished on the VyOS 1.3 Equuleus board.

Just open a new bug ticket and we go from there.

@hagbard last rolling has no issue.
everything works as expected
