Filter container traffic [message #46858]

Hi Guys,

I just setup my openvz environment. What I need to do now is to write a
firewall to check each flow from container and decide if it is allowed.

I noticed that for each container there is vmnet device. I am wondering can
I use open vswitch with this vmnet device? (It seems not from what is
mentioned here http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_network_device). If not, does
that mean I have to use netfilter/contrack/iptables to implement my
firewall? Could you please recommend some tutorials/readings?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Peter

Can you please stop cross-posting to two mailing lists? This is kinda
impolite and is counter-productive.

Please stick to users@ list, unless you have a patch or smth.

Thank you.

Sorry for my misuse. Will follow the advice next time.

Could you please give some hints on the questions? Thanks.

You probably mean venet or veth. We do not have vmnet.

It will be possible later, we have just finished porting OpenVSwitch to
our RHEL6 kernel. Now, it is not possible.

Yes, you can use iptables. For venet case, you can use iptables on the
host system and/or inside CT. For veth case, you can only use iptables
inside containers (and on the host you can use ebtables I guess).

I guess most of what we have is available from here:
