<title>Logical Interface Names</title>
<para>When dealing with a complex configuration, it is often awkward to
use physical interface names in the Shorewall configuration.</para>

<para>You need to remember which interface is which.</para>

<para>If you move the configuration to another firewall, the interface
names might not be the same.</para>

</itemizedlist>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.4, you can use logical interface names
which are mapped to the actual interface using the
<option>physical</option> option in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfraces</ulink>
(5).</para>
<para>Here is an example:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
net COM_IF detect dhcp,blacklist,tcpflags,optional,upnp,routefilter=0,nosmurfs,logmartians=0,physical=eth0
net EXT_IF detect dhcp,blacklist,tcpflags,optional,routefilter=0,nosmurfs,logmartians=0,proxyarp=1,physical=eth2
loc INT_IF detect dhcp,logmartians=1,routefilter=1,tcpflags,nets=172.20.1.0/24,physical=eth1
dmz VPS_IF detect logmartians=1,routefilter=0,routeback,physical=venet0
loc TUN_IF detect physical=tun+</programlisting>
<para>In this example, COM_IF is a logical interface name that refers to
Ethernet interface <filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename>, EXT_IF is
a logical interface name that refers to Ethernet interface <filename
class="devicefile">eth2</filename>, and so on.</para>
<para>Here are a couple of more files from the same configuration:</para>
