Description Danila Vershinin 2017-10-26 17:12:30 UTC
firewalld.noarch                      0.4.4.4-6.el7


Creating an ipset first with:

/usr/bin/firewall-cmd --permanent --new-ipset=countryblock --type=hash:net --option=maxelem=1000000 --option=family=inet --option=hashsize=4096

(note the timeout)

Then later adding entries to the IPset with:

firewall-cmd --permanent --ipset=countryblock --add-entries-from-file=/some/file

Actual results:

Outputs "Error: IPSET_WITH_TIMEOUT"

Expected results:

firewall-cmd should not issue Error when adding entries to ipset which has timeout defined.

Additional information:

Using raw ipset command to add entries for the same works fine:

while read p; do /usr/sbin/ipset -exist add countryblock $p timeout 691200; done < /some/file

firewalld disallows adding permanent entries to an ipset if the ipset has a timeout. Entries cannot be permanent if they timeout.

It should work if you don't specify --permanent. Can you verify?

Comment 3 Danila Vershinin 2018-04-23 19:51:46 UTC
It fails with or without --permanent switch:

firewall-cmd --permanent --ipset=countryblock --add-entries-from-file=/some/file
Error: IPSET_WITH_TIMEOUT

firewall-cmd --ipset=countryblock --add-entries-from-file=/some/file
Error: IPSET_WITH_TIMEOUT: countryblock

P.S. in my initial message, the command is/has to be: 

/usr/bin/firewall-cmd --permanent --new-ipset=countryblock --type=hash:net --option=maxelem=1000000 --option=family=inet --option=hashsize=4096 --option=timeout=691200 (made a mistake when copy pasting here)

Comment 4 Eric Garver 2018-05-04 15:50:35 UTC
Fix is upstream:

  b94b3d9baf2a ("ipset: allow adding entries to ipsets with timeout")

Comment 5 Eric Garver 2018-05-04 16:14:48 UTC
I also added test coverage:

  bd4f727966cf ("tests/regression: add test for ipset with timeout")
