<li>Depending on whether the packet is destined for the firewall itself
or for another system, it follows either the left or the right path. Traffic
going to the firewall goes through chains called INPUT in the mangle table.
Shorewall doesn't add any rules to that chain. Traffic next passes the the
INPUT chain in the filter table where it is broken out based on the interface
on which the packet arrived; packets from interface <i>interface</i> are routed
to chain <b><i>interface</i>_in</b>. For example, packets arriving through
eth0 are passed to the chain <b>eth0_in.</b></li>

<li>An 'ipcalc' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall.<br>
<br>
      ipcalc [ &lt;address&gt; &lt;netmask&gt; | &lt;address&gt;/&lt;vlsm&gt;
]<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
      [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24<br>
         CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
         NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
         NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
         BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
      [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
      [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0<br>
         CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>

         NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
         BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
      [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
Warning:<br>
<br>
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or dash), then
the ipcalc command produces incorrect information for IP addresses 128.0.0.0-1
and for /1 networks. Bash should produce correct information for all valid
IP addresses.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall. <br>
<br>
      iprange &lt;address&gt;-&lt;address&gt;<br>
<br>
This command decomposes a range of IP addressses into a list of network
and host addresses. The command can be useful if you need to construct an
efficient set of rules that accept connections from a range of network addresses.<br>
<br>
Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash or dash)
then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
      [root@gateway root]# shorewall iprange 192.168.1.4-192.168.12.9<br>
      192.168.1.4/30<br>
      192.168.1.8/29<br>
      192.168.1.16/28<br>
      192.168.1.32/27<br>
      192.168.1.64/26<br>
      192.168.1.128/25<br>
      192.168.2.0/23<br>
      192.168.4.0/22<br>
      192.168.8.0/22<br>

<p> If you have a permanent internet connection such as DSL or Cable,
I recommend that you start the firewall automatically at boot.
Once you have installed "firewall" in your init.d directory, simply
type "chkconfig --add firewall". This will start the firewall
in run levels 2-5 and stop it in run levels 1 and 6. If you want
to configure your firewall differently from this default, you can
use the "--level" option in chkconfig (see "man chkconfig") or using
your favorite graphical run-level editor.</p>
