Question

How to allow connection to link-local addresses when IP Stealing is enabled in SolusVM > Nodes > required node > Settings?

Answer

1. Connect to the required slave node over SSH.

2. Create a file /usr/local/solusvm/data/hooks/ebtables-iploop.sh with the following:

   Content of the file

   CONFIG_TEXT: #!/bin/sh
   ##
   ## ebtables-iploop.sh
   ## This hook runs for each of the virtual server ip addresses
   ## Full Instructions: https://docs.solusvm.com/display/DOCS/ebTables+Hook
   ##
   ## WARNING!! This scripts runs as root. Be Carful with the commands you use!
   ##
   ## Edit this file and copy to ebtables-iploop.sh & chmod 755
   ## Variables
   VIF=$1
   IP=$2
   ebtables -D $VIF -p IPv6 --ip6-src fe80::/ffc0:: -j ACCEPT
   ebtables -D $VIF -p IPv6 --ip6-dst fe80::/ffc0:: -j ACCEPT
   ebtables -A $VIF -p IPv6 --ip6-src fe80::/ffc0:: -j ACCEPT
   ebtables -A $VIF -p IPv6 --ip6-dst fe80::/ffc0:: -j ACCEPT

3. Set correct permission for the file:

   # chmod 755 /usr/local/solusvm/data/hooks/ebtables-iploop.sh

4. Reapply IP stealing settings:

   # /etc/init.d/solusvm-ipsecure restart
