28.Sh NAME
29.Nm ng_nat
30.Nd "NAT netgraph node type"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.In netgraph/ng_nat.h
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34An
35.Nm
36node performs network address translation (NAT) of IPv4 packets
37passing through it.
38A
39.Nm nat
40node uses
41.Xr libalias 3
42engine for packet aliasing.
43.Sh HOOKS
44This node type has two hooks:
45.Bl -tag -width ".Va out"
46.It Va out
47Packets received on this hook are considered outgoing and will be
48masqueraded to a configured address.
49.It Va in
50Packets coming on this hook are considered incoming and will be
51dealiased.
52.El
53.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
54This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
55.Bl -tag -width foo
56.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_IPADDR Pq Ic setaliasaddr
57Configure aliasing address for a node.
58After both hooks have been connected and aliasing address was configured,
59a node is ready for aliasing operation.
60.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_MODE Pq Ic setmode
61Set node's operation mode using supplied
62.Vt "struct ng_nat_mode" .
63.Bd -literal
64struct ng_nat_mode {
65	uint32_t	flags;
66	uint32_t	mask;
67};
68/* Supported flags: */
69#define NG_NAT_LOG			0x01
70#define NG_NAT_DENY_INCOMING		0x02
71#define NG_NAT_SAME_PORTS		0x04
72#define NG_NAT_UNREGISTERED_ONLY	0x10

76#define NG_NAT_UNREGISTERED_CGN		0x100
77.Ed
78.Pp
79The corresponding libalias flags can be found by replacing the
80.Vt "NG_NAT"
81prefix with
82.Vt "PKT_ALIAS" .
83.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_TARGET Pq Ic settarget
84Configure target address for a node.
85When an incoming packet not associated with any pre-existing aliasing
86link arrives at the host machine, it will be sent to the specified address.
87.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_PORT Pq Ic redirectport
88Redirect incoming connections arriving to given port(s) to
89another host and port(s).
90The following
91.Vt "struct ng_nat_redirect_port"
92must be supplied as argument.
93.Bd -literal
94#define NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH	64
95struct ng_nat_redirect_port {

104};
105.Ed
106.Pp
107Redirection is assigned an unique ID which is returned as
108response to this message, and
109information about redirection added to
110list of static redirects which later can be retrieved by
111.Dv NGM_NAT_LIST_REDIRECTS
112message.
113.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR Pq Ic redirectaddr
114Redirect traffic for public IP address to a machine on the
115local network.
116This function is known as
117.Em static NAT .
118The following
119.Vt "struct ng_nat_redirect_addr"
120must be supplied as argument.
121.Bd -literal
122struct ng_nat_redirect_addr {
123	struct in_addr	local_addr;
124	struct in_addr	alias_addr;
125	char		description[NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH];
126};
127.Ed
128.Pp
129Unique ID for this redirection is returned as response to this message.
130.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_PROTO Pq Ic redirectproto
131Redirect incoming IP packets of protocol
132.Va proto
133(see
134.Xr protocols 5 )
135to a machine on the local network.
136The following
137.Vt "struct ng_nat_redirect_proto"
138must be supplied as argument.
139.Bd -literal
140struct ng_nat_redirect_proto {
141	struct in_addr	local_addr;
142	struct in_addr	alias_addr;
143	struct in_addr	remote_addr;
144	uint8_t		proto;
145	char		description[NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH];
146};
147.Ed
148.Pp
149Unique ID for this redirection is returned as response to this message.
150.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_DYNAMIC Pq Ic redirectdynamic
151Mark redirection with specified ID as dynamic, i.e., it will serve
152for exactly one next connection and then will be automatically
153deleted from internal links table.
154Only fully specified links can be made dynamic.
155The redirection with this ID is also immediately deleted from
156user-visible list of static redirects (available through
157.Dv NGM_NAT_LIST_REDIRECTS
158message).
159.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_DELETE Pq Ic redirectdelete
160Delete redirection with specified ID (currently active
161connections are not affected).
162.It Dv NGM_NAT_ADD_SERVER Pq Ic addserver
163Add another server to a pool.
164This is used to transparently offload network load on a single server
165and distribute the load across a pool of servers, also known as
166.Em LSNAT
167(RFC 2391).
168The following
169.Vt "struct ng_nat_add_server"
170must be supplied as argument.
171.Bd -literal
172struct ng_nat_add_server {
173	uint32_t	id;
174	struct in_addr	addr;
175	uint16_t	port;
176};
177.Ed
178.Pp
179First, the redirection is set up by
180.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_PORT
181or
182.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR .
183Then, ID of that redirection is used in multiple
184.Dv NGM_NAT_ADD_SERVER
185messages to add necessary number of servers.
186For redirections created by
187.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR ,
188the
189.Va port
190is ignored and could have any value.
191Original redirection's parameters
192.Va local_addr
193and
194.Va local_port
195are also ignored after
196.Dv NGM_NAT_ADD_SERVER
197was used (they are effectively replaced by server pool).
198.It Dv NGM_NAT_LIST_REDIRECTS Pq Ic listredirects
199Return list of configured static redirects as
200.Vt "struct ng_nat_list_redirects" .
201.Bd -literal
202struct ng_nat_listrdrs_entry {
203	uint32_t	id;		/* Anything except zero */
204	struct in_addr	local_addr;

215	uint32_t		total_count;
216	struct ng_nat_listrdrs_entry redirects[];
217};
218#define NG_NAT_REDIRPROTO_ADDR	(IPPROTO_MAX + 3)
219.Ed
220.Pp
221Entries of the
222.Va redirects
223array returned in the unified format for all redirect types.
224Ports are meaningful only if protocol is either TCP or UDP
225and
226.Em static NAT
227redirection (created by
228.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR )
229is indicated by
230.Va proto
231set to
232.Dv NG_NAT_REDIRPROTO_ADDR .
233If
234.Va lsnat
235servers counter is greater than zero, then
236.Va local_addr
237and
238.Va local_port
239are also meaningless.
240.It Dv NGM_NAT_PROXY_RULE Pq Ic proxyrule
241Specify a transparent proxying rule (string must be
242supplied as argument).
243See
244.Xr libalias 3
245for details.
246.It Dv NGM_NAT_LIBALIAS_INFO Pq Ic libaliasinfo
247Return internal statistics of
248.Xr libalias 3
249instance as
250.Vt "struct ng_nat_libalias_info" .
251.Bd -literal
252struct ng_nat_libalias_info {
253	uint32_t	icmpLinkCount;
254	uint32_t	udpLinkCount;
255	uint32_t	tcpLinkCount;
256	uint32_t	sctpLinkCount;

259	uint32_t	fragmentIdLinkCount;
260	uint32_t	fragmentPtrLinkCount;
261	uint32_t	sockCount;
262};
263.Ed
264In case of
265.Nm
266failed to retrieve a certain counter
267from its
268.Xr libalias
269instance, the corresponding field is returned as
270.Va UINT32_MAX .
271.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_DLT Pq Ic setdlt
272Sets the data link type on the
273.Va in
274and
275.Va out
276hooks.
277Currently, supported types are
278.Cm DLT_RAW
279(raw IP datagrams , no offset applied, the default) and
280.Cm DLT_EN10MB
281(Ethernet). DLT_ definitions can be found in
282.In net/bpf.h .
283If you want to work on the
284.Xr ipfw 8
285level you must use no additional offset by specifying
286.Cm DLT_RAW .
287If, however, you attach
288.Nm
289to a network interface directly and
290.Cm EN10MB
291is specified, then the extra offset will be applied to take into account
292link-level header.
293In this mode the
294.Nm
295would also inspect appropriate type field in the Ethernet header and
296pass-through any datagrams that are not IP packets.
297.It Dv NGM_NAT_GET_DLT Pq Ic getdlt
298This control message returns the current data link type of the
299.Va in
300and
301.Va out
302hooks.
303.El
304.Pp
305In all redirection messages
306.Va local_addr
307and
308.Va local_port
309mean address and port of target machine in the internal network,
310respectively.
311If
312.Va alias_addr
313is zero, then default aliasing address (set by
314.Dv NGM_NAT_SET_IPADDR )
315is used.
316Connections can also be restricted to be accepted only
317from specific external machines by using non-zero
318.Va remote_addr
319and/or
320.Va remote_port .
321Each redirection assigned an ID which can be later used for
322redirection manipulation on individual basis (e.g., removal).
323This ID guaranteed to be unique until the node shuts down
324(it will not be reused after deletion), and is returned to
325user after making each new redirection or can be found in
326the stored list of all redirections.
327The
328.Va description
329passed to and from node unchanged, together with ID providing
330a way for several entities to concurrently manipulate
331redirections in automated way.
332.Sh SHUTDOWN
333This node shuts down upon receipt of a
334.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
335control message, or when both hooks are disconnected.
336.Sh EXAMPLES
337In the following example, the packets are injected into a
338.Nm nat
339node using the
340.Xr ng_ipfw 4
341node.
342.Bd -literal -offset indent
343# Create NAT node
344ngctl mkpeer ipfw: nat 60 out

354sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0
355.Ed
356.Pp
357The
358.Nm
359node can be inserted right after the
360.Xr ng_iface 4
361node in the graph.
362In the following example, we perform masquerading on a
363serial line with HDLC encapsulation.
