[LARTC] tc filter using MASKs in mark

[LARTC] tc filter using MASKs in mark

[ArcosCom Linux User]

Hi,
   I'm having a problem with filtering marked packet with tc.

   I'm trying to run this:

/sbin/tc filter add dev imq0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 8 handle
0x7/0x000f fw classid 1:8

But the response is:

Illegal "handle"


Typing the handle without masked mark is working, but I have a
configuration were I need 2 mark types and I'm using masks:
   Multiple outgoing interfaces (using 0xf000 mask to know the ip route
filter to allow specific interface for the outcoming traffic).
   QoS (using 0x000f) to know the destination class for the flow.

Perhaps I have an incorrect syntax typing the masked handle, but I don't
find any information about how to type correctly the masked handle with
"tc filter" and I'm trying an "ip analogous" syntax.

The ip/tc utils versions I'm using are 2.6.20.

Anybody could help me with this "syntax problem"?

Thanks

I think the fw classifier does not support masks. However, you can also
use u32 filter to match marks, and it does support matching with mask.
AFAIK, the support for matching marks have to be enabled in the kernel.

 CONFIG_CLS_U32_MARK=y

And the syntax is like this:

 tc filter add dev imq0 protocol ip prio 8 parent 1:0 u32 match mark \
 0x7 0x000f flowid 1:8

Thanks Martin.

¿This FLAG is available with 2.6.18 kernel version?

I'm using a distro kernel and is as stable that I don't want to upgrade it.

Thanks again.

Answered by myself:

$ cat config-2.6.18-8.1.8.1.el5_ArcosCom | grep "CLS_U32"
CONFIG_NET_CLS_U32=m
CONFIG_CLS_U32_PERF=y
CONFIG_CLS_U32_MARK=y

Thanks again.
