Ruleset information for ipv6 Firewall "prerouting raw" shows wrong default-action
Open, LowPublic

Description

Dear VyOS Maintainers,

The default-action for firewall ipv6 prerouting raw is accept, however run show firewall ipv6 prerouting raw says it is drop. The real behaviour is that the packets are accepted and forwarded, so when the default-action is not set the Action in the statistics is wrong and should be accept instead.
When setting the default-action to accept instead of not setting it (which defaults to accept) then the statistic show accept which would be correct.

with default-action not set (defaults to accept)

vyos@vyos# set firewall ipv6 prerouting raw
Possible completions:
   default-action       Default-action for rule-set (default: accept)
   default-jump-target  Set jump target. Action jump must be defined in default-action
                        to use this setting
