>Description:
Section 31.5.21.1 IPNAT Rules in the Handbook contains the following example rule line for FTP proxy:
map dc0 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp
This is wrong, and leads to an error when the rules files is loaded:
syntax error error at "", line 1
>How-To-Repeat:
try to load the following ipnat rule:
map dc0 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp
>Fix:
According to the ipfilter docs, this line should read:
map dc0 0/0 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp
This does not produce an error, and when I run ipnat -l:
# ipnat -l
List of active MAP/Redirect filters:
map em0 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0.0.0.0/32 proxy port ftp ftp/tcp
