Shorewall ARP rules file
/etc/shorewall/arprules
Description
This file was added in Shorewall 4.5.12 and is used to describe
low-level rules managed by arptables (8). These rules only affect Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP), Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) and
Dynamic Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (DRARP) frames.
The columns in the file are as shown below. MAC addresses are
specified normally (6 hexadecimal numbers separated by colons).
ACTION
Describes the action to take when a frame matches the criteria
in the other columns. Possible values are:
ACCEPT
This is the default action if no rules matches a frame;
it lets the frame go through.
DROP
Causes the frame to be dropped.
SNAT:ip-address
Modifies the source IP address to the specified
ip-address.
DNAT:ip-address
Modifies the destination IP address to the specified
ip-address.
SMAT:mac-address
Modifies the source MAC address to the specified
mac-address.
DMAT:mac-address
Modifies the destination MAC address to the specified
mac-address.
SNATC:ip-address
Like SNAT except that the frame is then passed to the
next rule.
DNATC:ip-address
Like DNAT except that the frame is then passed to the
next rule.
SMATC:mac-address
Like SMAT except that the frame is then passed to the
next rule.
DMATC:mac-address
Like DMAT except that the frame is then passed to the
next rule.
SOURCE - [interface[:[!]ipaddress[/ipmask][:[!]macaddress[/macmask]]]]
Where
interface
Is an interface defined in
shorewall-interfaces(5).
ipaddress
is an IPv4 address. DNS names are not allowed.
ipmask
specifies a mask to be applied to
ipaddress.
macaddress
The source MAC address.
macmask
Mask for MAC address; must be specified as 6 hexadecimal
numbers separated by colons.
When '!' is specified, the test is inverted.
If not specified, matches only frames originating on the
firewall itself.
Either SOURCE or DEST must be specified.
DEST - [interface[:[!]ipaddress[/ipmask][:[!]macaddress[/macmask]]]]
Where
interface
Is an interface defined in
shorewall-interfaces(5).
ipaddress
is an IPv4 address. DNS Names are not allowed.
ipmask
specifies a mask to be applied to frame
addresses.
macaddress
The destination MAC address.
macmask
Mask for MAC address; must be specified as 6 hexadecimal
numbers separated by colons.
When '!' is specified, the test is inverted and the rule
matches frames which do not match the specified address/mask.
If not specified, matches only frames originating on the
firewall itself.
If both SOURCE and DEST are specified, then both interfaces
must be bridge ports on the same bridge.
Either SOURCE or DEST must be specified.
OPCODE - [[!]opcode]
Optional. Describes the type of frame. Possible
opcode values are:
1
ARP Request
2
ARP Reply
3
RARP Request
4
RARP Reply
5
Dynamic RARP Request
6
Dynamic RARP Reply
7
Dynamic RARP Error
8
InARP Request
9
ARP NAK
When '!' is specified, the test is inverted and the rule
matches frames which do not match the specified
opcode.
Example
The eth1 interface has both a public IP address and a private
address (10.1.10.11/24). When sending ARP requests to 10.1.10.0/24, use
the private address as the IP source:
#ACTION SOURCE DEST ARP OPCODE
SNAT:10.1.10.11 - eth1:10.1.10.0/24 1
