Bacula Networking

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

BAC Address

Firstly, check the client server has a bacula IPv6 address. 

ip a  

Will look something like the following (note the 'BAC' present around the middle of this address)

2a02:22d0:bac:0:3617:ebff:fef1:1f8 

 If the server does not have a v6 address, we need to check the backup NIC config and then try to restart the backup NIC. 

IPv6 Network Restrictions

Ensure that the ip6tables service isn't running:

Systemctl status ip6tables 

Check the ruleset:

ip6tables –S

Add required rules for Bacula IPv6 networking over ports 9102 and 9103:

ip6tables -I INPUT -i eth1/em2 -j ACCEPT 
ip6tables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 9102 -j ACCEPT 
ip6tables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 9103 -j ACCEPT 
service ip6tables save && service ip6tables restart
