I don't think so. Also rules like this one are broken: iptables -A INPUT -i bridge0 -m physdev --physdev-in eth0 -j ... No firewalling is done on the bridge, xt_physdev is only using some meta information. At least a big fat warning would be nice that xt_physdev does not work if bridge-nf-call-iptables=0. It took me some time to figure out why my firewall rule set gone nuts on RHEL6... > Instead, you should just enable the net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables sysctl. > If a distro chooses to disable it then you may have to do it explicitly. Fedora and RHEL have net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=0 per default due to KVM network performance issues. I'm sure I'm not the only user of xt_physdev on RHEL and friends. Thanks, //richard
