Tested manually on a routed mode isolated network

  1. Created a zone with dynamic routing enabled and an IP subnet pool configured

  2. Created a network offering with routing mode = Dynamic and default egress policy = Deny

  3. Deploy an isolated routed network using that offering
    In the network's IPv4 Routing Firewall, add:
    Ingress rule: TCP port 22 from 0.0.0.0/0
    Egress rule: TCP port 22 to 0.0.0.0/0

  4. Deploy a VM in the network

  5. Able to SSH to the VM from an external host > works

 Rules on the router chain fw_chain_egress {
ip saddr 0.0.0.0/0 ip daddr 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dport 22 accept
counter packets 3 bytes 228 drop
}
chain fw_chain_ingress {
ip saddr 0.0.0.0/0 ip daddr 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dport 22 accept
counter packets 0 bytes 0 drop
}
  1. Remove the egress rule from the network

  2. SSH to the VM from an external host > works

	chain fw_chain_egress {
counter packets 0 bytes 0 drop
}
chain fw_chain_ingress {
ip saddr 0.0.0.0/0 ip daddr 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dport 22 accept
counter packets 0 bytes 0 drop
}

Source local main commit:
- 166bb4304f systemvm: allow related and established routed traffic
Source Apache commits:
- 1fc4cb9 Routed VR: accept packets from related and established connections (apache#12986)
Change summary:
- add an nftables ct state established,related accept rule when creating forward chains in CsNetfilter
- leave the existing input/output ICMP allowance behavior unchanged
- record Record 044 sync notes in the history document
Functional impact:
- prevents routed VR forward chains from dropping reply traffic that belongs to already established or related connections
- improves flow continuity for routed guest traffic without widening new-connection exposure
Validation:
- cherry-pick from main applied cleanly on ablestack-europa with no additional manual conflict resolution
- runtime/systemvm test execution has not been run yet in this environment by request

I see this got released in 4.22.1 but I still am having the bug after upgrading my management server. I see no newly released 4.22.1 SystemVM Templates. Is there a process for that still underway?

@khumps
the cloudstack-agent on kvm hosts need to be upgraded too
The configuration will not be applied to the VR automatically. please restart network with cleanup, or patch VR and apply some rules to re-generate the nftables ruleset.
