Problem with "hashlimit" match without hashlimit_htable_expire value #201
Description
Hi,
I tried to replicate the example described here (
python-iptables/tests/test_matches.py
Line 431 in edd1623
Turns out if you do not set hashlimit_htable_expire, the iptables chain is not populated but no error is shown either, fails silently. I did this, not setting a value because I was a bit unsure since I hadn't used it either in my other iptables scripts.
Steps to reproduce:
rule = iptc.Rule()
rule.src = "127.0.0.1"
rule.protocol = "udp"
rule.target = iptc.Target(rule, "ACCEPT")
match = iptc.Match(rule, "hashlimit")
chain = iptc.Chain(iptc.Table(iptc.Table.FILTER), "FORWARD")
table = iptc.Table(iptc.Table.FILTER)
match.hashlimit_name = 'foo'
match.hashlimit_mode = 'srcip'
match.hashlimit_upto = '200/sec'
#match.hashlimit = '200' # This seems not to be necessary
#match.hashlimit_htable_expire = '100'
rule.add_match(match)
chain.insert_rule(rule)
