error with reass

[manju_kalita]

Hi All,
When I tried to add the rule

reass all from any to any in

I got error

invalid action

<server># ipfw add 90 reass all from any to any in
ipfw: invalid action reass

Can you please advice how can I add

reass all from any to any in

? As per the ipfw manual, this is a valid rule.

Thanks & Regards,
Manju

Hello,

Your FreeBSD is too old, found in the mail archive patch for 7.x: http://people.freebsd.org/~piso/ipfw-reass-7x.diff.

Can you please let me know the compatible FReeBSD version with ipfw action reass? When exactly it was introduced?
