29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm ng_nat
32.Nd "NAT netgraph node type"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In netgraph/ng_nat.h
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36An
37.Nm
38node performs network address translation (NAT) of IPv4 packets
39passing through it.
40A
41.Nm nat
42node uses
43.Xr libalias 3
44engine for packet aliasing.
45.Sh HOOKS
46This node type has two hooks:
47.Bl -tag -width ".Va out"
48.It Va out
49Packets received on this hook are considered outgoing and will be
50masqueraded to a configured address.
51.It Va in
52Packets coming on this hook are considered incoming and will be
53dealiased.
54.El
55.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
56This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
57.Bl -tag -width foo
58.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_IPADDR Pq Ic setaliasaddr
59Configure aliasing address for a node.
60After both hooks have been connected and aliasing address was configured,
61a node is ready for aliasing operation.
62.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_MODE Pq Ic setmode
63Set node's operation mode using supplied
64.Vt "struct ng_nat_mode" .
65.Bd -literal
66struct ng_nat_mode {
67	uint32_t	flags;
68	uint32_t	mask;
69};
70/* Supported flags: */
71#define NG_NAT_LOG			0x01
72#define NG_NAT_DENY_INCOMING		0x02
73#define NG_NAT_SAME_PORTS		0x04
74#define NG_NAT_UNREGISTERED_ONLY	0x10
75#define NG_NAT_RESET_ON_ADDR_CHANGE	0x20
76#define NG_NAT_PROXY_ONLY		0x40
77#define NG_NAT_REVERSE			0x80
78#define NG_NAT_UNREGISTERED_CGN		0x100
79.Ed
80.Pp
81The corresponding libalias flags can be found by replacing the
82.Vt "NG_NAT"
83prefix with
84.Vt "PKT_ALIAS" .
85.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_TARGET Pq Ic settarget
86Configure target address for a node.
87When an incoming packet not associated with any pre-existing aliasing
88link arrives at the host machine, it will be sent to the specified address.
89.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_PORT Pq Ic redirectport
90Redirect incoming connections arriving to given port(s) to
91another host and port(s).
92The following
93.Vt "struct ng_nat_redirect_port"
94must be supplied as argument.
95.Bd -literal
96#define NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH	64
97struct ng_nat_redirect_port {
98	struct in_addr	local_addr;

104	uint8_t		proto;
105	char		description[NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH];
106};
107.Ed
108.Pp
109Redirection is assigned an unique ID which is returned as
110response to this message, and
111information about redirection added to
112list of static redirects which later can be retrieved by
113.Dv NGM_NAT_LIST_REDIRECTS
114message.
115.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR Pq Ic redirectaddr
116Redirect traffic for public IP address to a machine on the
117local network.
118This function is known as
119.Em static NAT .
120The following
121.Vt "struct ng_nat_redirect_addr"
122must be supplied as argument.
123.Bd -literal
124struct ng_nat_redirect_addr {
125	struct in_addr	local_addr;
126	struct in_addr	alias_addr;
127	char		description[NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH];
128};
129.Ed
130.Pp
131Unique ID for this redirection is returned as response to this message.
132.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_PROTO Pq Ic redirectproto
133Redirect incoming IP packets of protocol
134.Va proto
135(see
136.Xr protocols 5 )
137to a machine on the local network.
138The following
139.Vt "struct ng_nat_redirect_proto"
140must be supplied as argument.
141.Bd -literal
142struct ng_nat_redirect_proto {
143	struct in_addr	local_addr;
144	struct in_addr	alias_addr;
145	struct in_addr	remote_addr;
146	uint8_t		proto;
147	char		description[NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH];
148};
149.Ed
150.Pp
151Unique ID for this redirection is returned as response to this message.
152.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_DYNAMIC Pq Ic redirectdynamic
153Mark redirection with specified ID as dynamic, i.e., it will serve
154for exactly one next connection and then will be automatically
155deleted from internal links table.
156Only fully specified links can be made dynamic.
157The redirection with this ID is also immediately deleted from
158user-visible list of static redirects (available through
159.Dv NGM_NAT_LIST_REDIRECTS
160message).
161.It Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_DELETE Pq Ic redirectdelete
162Delete redirection with specified ID (currently active
163connections are not affected).
164.It Dv NGM_NAT_ADD_SERVER Pq Ic addserver
165Add another server to a pool.
166This is used to transparently offload network load on a single server
167and distribute the load across a pool of servers, also known as
168.Em LSNAT
169(RFC 2391).
170The following
171.Vt "struct ng_nat_add_server"
172must be supplied as argument.
173.Bd -literal
174struct ng_nat_add_server {
175	uint32_t	id;
176	struct in_addr	addr;
177	uint16_t	port;
178};
179.Ed
180.Pp
181First, the redirection is set up by
182.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_PORT
183or
184.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR .
185Then, ID of that redirection is used in multiple
186.Dv NGM_NAT_ADD_SERVER
187messages to add necessary number of servers.
188For redirections created by
189.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR ,
190the
191.Va port
192is ignored and could have any value.
193Original redirection's parameters
194.Va local_addr
195and
196.Va local_port
197are also ignored after
198.Dv NGM_NAT_ADD_SERVER
199was used (they are effectively replaced by server pool).
200.It Dv NGM_NAT_LIST_REDIRECTS Pq Ic listredirects
201Return list of configured static redirects as
202.Vt "struct ng_nat_list_redirects" .
203.Bd -literal
204struct ng_nat_listrdrs_entry {
205	uint32_t	id;		/* Anything except zero */
206	struct in_addr	local_addr;
207	struct in_addr	alias_addr;
208	struct in_addr	remote_addr;
209	uint16_t	local_port;
210	uint16_t	alias_port;
211	uint16_t	remote_port;
212	uint16_t	proto;		/* Valid proto or NG_NAT_REDIRPROTO_ADDR */
213	uint16_t	lsnat;		/* LSNAT servers count */
214	char		description[NG_NAT_DESC_LENGTH];
215};
216struct ng_nat_list_redirects {
217	uint32_t		total_count;
218	struct ng_nat_listrdrs_entry redirects[];
219};
220#define NG_NAT_REDIRPROTO_ADDR	(IPPROTO_MAX + 3)
221.Ed
222.Pp
223Entries of the
224.Va redirects
225array returned in the unified format for all redirect types.
226Ports are meaningful only if protocol is either TCP or UDP
227and
228.Em static NAT
229redirection (created by
230.Dv NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR )
231is indicated by
232.Va proto
233set to
234.Dv NG_NAT_REDIRPROTO_ADDR .
235If
236.Va lsnat
237servers counter is greater than zero, then
238.Va local_addr
239and
240.Va local_port
241are also meaningless.
242.It Dv NGM_NAT_PROXY_RULE Pq Ic proxyrule
243Specify a transparent proxying rule (string must be
244supplied as argument).
245See
246.Xr libalias 3
247for details.
248.It Dv NGM_NAT_LIBALIAS_INFO Pq Ic libaliasinfo
249Return internal statistics of
250.Xr libalias 3
251instance as
252.Vt "struct ng_nat_libalias_info" .
253.Bd -literal
254struct ng_nat_libalias_info {
255	uint32_t	icmpLinkCount;
256	uint32_t	udpLinkCount;
257	uint32_t	tcpLinkCount;
258	uint32_t	sctpLinkCount;
259	uint32_t	pptpLinkCount;
260	uint32_t	protoLinkCount;
261	uint32_t	fragmentIdLinkCount;
262	uint32_t	fragmentPtrLinkCount;
263	uint32_t	sockCount;
264};
265.Ed
266In case of
267.Nm
268failed to retrieve a certain counter
269from its
270.Xr libalias
271instance, the corresponding field is returned as
272.Va UINT32_MAX .
273.It Dv NGM_NAT_SET_DLT Pq Ic setdlt
274Sets the data link type on the
275.Va in
276and
277.Va out
278hooks.
279Currently, supported types are
280.Cm DLT_RAW
281(raw IP datagrams , no offset applied, the default) and
282.Cm DLT_EN10MB
283(Ethernet). DLT_ definitions can be found in
284.In net/bpf.h .
285If you want to work on the
286.Xr ipfw 8
287level you must use no additional offset by specifying
288.Cm DLT_RAW .
289If, however, you attach
290.Nm
291to a network interface directly and
292.Cm EN10MB
293is specified, then the extra offset will be applied to take into account
294link-level header.
295In this mode the
296.Nm
297would also inspect appropriate type field in the Ethernet header and
298pass-through any datagrams that are not IP packets.
299.It Dv NGM_NAT_GET_DLT Pq Ic getdlt
300This control message returns the current data link type of the
301.Va in
302and
303.Va out
304hooks.
305.El
306.Pp
307In all redirection messages
308.Va local_addr
309and
310.Va local_port
311mean address and port of target machine in the internal network,
312respectively.
313If
314.Va alias_addr
315is zero, then default aliasing address (set by
316.Dv NGM_NAT_SET_IPADDR )
317is used.
318Connections can also be restricted to be accepted only
319from specific external machines by using non-zero
320.Va remote_addr
321and/or
322.Va remote_port .
323Each redirection assigned an ID which can be later used for
324redirection manipulation on individual basis (e.g., removal).
325This ID guaranteed to be unique until the node shuts down
326(it will not be reused after deletion), and is returned to
327user after making each new redirection or can be found in
328the stored list of all redirections.
329The
330.Va description
331passed to and from node unchanged, together with ID providing
332a way for several entities to concurrently manipulate
333redirections in automated way.
334.Sh SHUTDOWN
335This node shuts down upon receipt of a
336.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
337control message, or when both hooks are disconnected.
338.Sh EXAMPLES
339In the following example, the packets are injected into a
340.Nm nat
341node using the
342.Xr ng_ipfw 4
343node.
344.Bd -literal -offset indent
345# Create NAT node
346ngctl mkpeer ipfw: nat 60 out
347ngctl name ipfw:60 nat

351# Divert traffic into NAT node
352ipfw add 300 netgraph 61 all from any to any in via fxp0

355# Let packets continue with after being (de)aliased
356sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0
357.Ed
358.Pp
359The
360.Nm
361node can be inserted right after the
362.Xr ng_iface 4
363node in the graph.
364In the following example, we perform masquerading on a
365serial line with HDLC encapsulation.

378The
379.Nm
380node can also be attached directly to the physical interface
381via
382.Xr ng_ether 4
