19:58:30 <TheTim0Nat0r> Hi there! Does anyone know how to configure a static route or add a default gateway in lxc or kvm? Normally in a linux machine I would do that in /etc/network/interfaces.d/<interface> with nano and restart networking service, but the directory's empty
19:59:36 <TheTim0Nat0r> Also tried "ip route add" and "route add default gw" but got errors operation not permitted or unknown error -122
20:05:36 <dbrooke> for the default route there's a property nics.*.gateways
20:13:54 <TheTim0Nat0r> dbrooke: I keep getting "Static gateways must be IPv4 addresses" if I try that
20:16:33 <nbjoerg> are you using host names?
20:19:23 <TheTim0Nat0r> No, just IPv4 and IPv6 adresses
20:34:23 <dbrooke> I think it only takes IPv4
20:35:40 <rmustacc> You may be able to use the /native route tool to add a route.
20:39:03 <dbrooke> I just checked my definitions and I'm only specifying the IPv4 gateway in the JSON - the IPv6 gateway is picked up from the router advertisement (via rdnssd on linux)
20:40:01 <pjustice> Don't you have to set the promiscuous permission on the zone before it can do arbitrary IP address things?
20:40:18 <dbrooke> sorry i mean that for the IPv6 DNS advertisement you need rdnssd
20:40:47 <pjustice> i.e. in the nics block,
20:40:47 <pjustice>       "allow_dhcp_spoofing": true,
20:40:47 <pjustice>       "allow_ip_spoofing": true,
20:40:47 <pjustice>       "allow_mac_spoofing": true,
20:40:48 <pjustice>       "allow_restricted_traffic": true,
20:40:54 <pjustice> one or more of those
20:41:19 <nbjoerg> allow_ip_spoofing is only necessary for kvm/bhyve, not for native zones
20:41:22 <nbjoerg> (for addrconf)
21:22:42 <TheTim0Nat0r> The global zone picked up the IPv6 gateway from router advertisements as well. I have made several virtual lx/kvm instances with static IPv6-addresses(allowed ip spoofing of course), but I cannot use them without a static IPv6 gateway and it does not get assigned automatically by the global zone like native zones
21:24:08 <TheTim0Nat0r> Can not assign IPv6 gateway or configure a default route manually in the lxc or kvm instance either
21:25:01 <nbjoerg> TheTim0Nat0r: does your kvm guest use privacy extensions?
21:25:20 <nbjoerg> I'm using SLAAC exclusively
21:25:37 <nbjoerg> and with the exception of the ip spoofing bug for kvm/bhyve, that works reliable
21:31:45 <TheTim0Nat0r> nbjoerg: Just ip spoofing, nothing else. I am using SLAAC as well and that works like a charm. But I can not contact anything through IPV6 with a static non-EUI64 IPv6 address(so without SLAAC), because there's no static IPv6 gateway assigned.
21:36:19 <TheTim0Nat0r> SmartOS does not provide functionality to provide a static IPv6-gateway(There's an old ticket ) and it seems like the virtual instances also do not allow us to modify this with ip or route or in /etc/network/interfaces.d in case of linux
21:41:57 <dbrooke> my debian bhyve HVMs with static IPs and a static IPv4 gw do pick up the IPv6 gw from router advertisement so I'm not sure why that's not happening for you
21:48:02 <TheTim0Nat0r> dbrooke: Okay, so if I understood well : your debian has both static IPv4 and static non-EUI64 IPv6(without SLAAC) and picked up the IPv6 gateway on its own?
21:53:48 <dbrooke> here's one my (anonymised) nics definitions https://stuff.dbrooke.me.uk/sp-B3Sif2.zzz
21:54:39 <dbrooke> and it has default via fe80::db:f4ff:febd:fd00 dev net0 proto ra metric 1024 expires 1760sec pref medium
22:04:38 <TheTim0Nat0r> Hmm, I see. Will continue my troubleshooting journey in that case.
22:13:56 <dbrooke> for completeness, that's bhyve and "image_uuid": "6ae6054a-95f7-4f8e-a3f7-88d1d22301bf" and I'm not aware of configuring or installing anything in order to make the gw assignment work
