Suggested patch for 'general-functions.pl'
Hi, [the first comment for the above patch got somehow lost, sorry] I tried reverting 'general-functions.pl' as it worked in Core 108. Result: I can add more than two static routes. I can add '/24'-subnets in "Firewall Firewall Groups". HTH, Matthias in routing.cgi there is a function called which is no longer existent. The 1 million $ question: We are able to check the internal networks for a range or exactly. So its a bit difficult to decide which check we should start here. Michael please give your opinion. Should we check for the EXACT subnet or for the RANGE at this point? in my opinion we should use the exact check here as we are able to route subnets of the internal networks too. Thank you (In reply to Alexander Marx from comment #5) > We are able to check the internal networks for a range or exactly. So its a > bit difficult to decide which check we should start here. I think we should check for *exactly* the green/blue/orange subnet because it does not make sense and is probably a user error to set up a route like that. I think we should allow to reroute half a green subnet for example if the user wishes to do so. Is there a progress on this? It is annoying not being able to edit or add static routing entries. Kind regards, Timo *** Bug 11533 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have already changed the routing.cgi as noted in 11533 so that I could add multiple static routes. Can I still install the proposed patch or do I need to change the routing.cgi back to the original and install this patch? Background: IPFire runs on VLAN with several other subnets (VLAN10, 20, 100) switching to VLAN255 via a Cisco router. Our server crashed and rebuilt IPFire on an alternate box but couldn't add a route and so I was starting to prepare to switch firewalls when I found solution 11533.. I also encountered the problem in the firewall but didn't realize that they were related until 11533 was closed. I found that although I couldn't create a network group, I could still specific a network range in the firewall so that is how my firewall is currently configured. |
