(Shorewall) Lite.OptionsThe and options are
used for debugging. See http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping.htm#Trace.The options control the amount of output that
the command produces. They consist of a sequence of the letters v and q. If the
options are omitted, the amount of output is determined by the setting of
the VERBOSITY parameter in shorewall.conf(5). Each v adds one to the effective verbosity and each
q subtracts one from the effective
VERBOSITY. Anternately, v may be followed
immediately with one of -1,0,1,2 to specify a specify VERBOSITY. There may
be no white space between v and the
VERBOSITY.The options may also include the letter
which causes all progress messages to be
timestamped.CommandsThe available commands are listed below.addAdds a list of hosts or subnets to a dynamic zone usually used
with VPN's.The interface argument names an interface
defined in the shorewall-interfaces(5)
file. A host-list is comma-separated list whose
elements are a host or network address.The add command is not very robust. If
there are errors in the host-list,
you may see a large number of error messages yet a subsequent
shorewall show zones command will indicate
that all hosts were added. If this happens, replace
add by delete and run the
same command again. Then enter the correct command.allowRe-enables receipt of packets from hosts previously
blacklisted by a drop, logdrop, reject, or logreject command.clearClear will remove all rules and chains installed by Shorewall
Lite. The firewall is then wide open and unprotected. Existing
connections are untouched. Clear is often used to see if the
firewall is causing connection problems.deleteThe delete command reverses the effect of an earlier add command.The interface argument names an interface
defined in the shorewall-interfaces(5)
file. A host-list is comma-separated list whose
elements are a host or network address.dropCauses traffic from the listed addresses
to be silently dropped.dumpProduces a verbose report about the firewall configuration for
the purpose of problem analysis.The -x option causes actual
packet and byte counts to be displayed. Without that option, these
counts are abbreviated. The -m
option causes any MAC addresses included in Shorewall Lite log
messages to be displayed.forgetDeletes /var/lib/shorewall-lite/filename
and /var/lib/shorewall-lite/save. If no
filename is given then the file specified by
RESTOREFILE in shorewall-lite.conf(5) is
assumed.helpDisplays a syntax summary.hitsGenerates several reports from Shorewall Lite log messages in
the current log file.ipcalcIpcalc displays the network address, broadcast address,
network in CIDR notation and netmask corresponding to the
input[s].iprangeIprange decomposes the specified range of IP addresses into
the equivalent list of network/host addresses.logdropCauses traffic from the listed addresses
to be logged then discarded.logwatchMonitors the log file specified by theLOGFILE option in shorewall-lite.conf(5) and
produces an audible alarm when new Shorewall Lite messages are
logged. The -m option causes the
MAC address of each packet source to be displayed if that
information is available. The
refresh-interval specifies the time in
seconds between screen refreshes. You can enter a negative number by
preceding the number with "--" (e.g., shorewall-lite
logwatch -- -30). In this case, when a packet count
changes, you will be prompted to hit any key to resume screen
refreshes.logrejectCauses traffic from the listed addresses
to be logged then rejected.resetAll the packet and byte counters in the firewall are
reset.restartRestart is similar to shorewall-lite
stop followed by shorewall-lite
start. Existing connections are maintained. The
option causes Shorewall to avoid updating the
routing table(s).restoreRestore Shorewall Lite to a state saved using the shorewall-lite save command. Existing
connections are maintained. The filename names
a restore file in /var/lib/shorewall-lite created using shorewall-lite save; if no
filename is given then Shorewall Lite will be
restored from the file specified by the RESTOREFILE option in shorewall-lite.conf(5).saveThe dynamic blacklist is stored in
/var/lib/shorewall-lite/save. The state of the firewall is stored in
/var/lib/shorewall-lite/filename for use by the
shorewall-lite restore and
shorewall-lite -f start commands.
If filename is not given then the state is
saved in the file specified by the RESTOREFILE option in shorewall-lite.conf(5).showThe show command can have a number of different
arguments:actionsProduces a report about the available actions (built-in,
standard and user-defined).capabilitiesDisplays your kernel/iptables capabilities. The
-f option causes the display
to be formatted as a capabilities file for use with compile -e.[ [ ] chain
... ]The rules in each chain are
displayed using the iptables
-Lchain-n -v command. If no
chain is given, all of the chains in the
filter table are displayed. The -x option is passed directly through to
iptables and causes actual packet and byte counts to be
displayed. Without this option, those counts are abbreviated.
The -t option specifies the
Netfilter table to display. The default is filter.If the t option and the
keyword are both omitted and any of the
listed chains do not exist, a usage
message will be displayed.classifiersDisplays information about the packet classifiers
defined on the system 10-080213-8397as a result of traffic
shaping configuration.configDispays distribution-specific defaults.connectionsDisplays the IP connections currently being tracked by
the firewall.macrosDisplays information about each macro defined on the
firewall system.mangleDisplays the Netfilter mangle table using the command
iptables -t mangle -L -n
-v.The -x option
is passed directly through to iptables and causes actual
packet and byte counts to be displayed. Without this option,
those counts are abbreviated.natDisplays the Netfilter nat table using the command
iptables -t nat -L -n -v.The
-x option is passed directly
through to iptables and causes actual packet and byte counts
to be displayed. Without this option, those counts are
abbreviated.tcDisplays information about queuing disciplines, classes
and filters.zonesDisplays the current composition of the Shorewall Lite
zones on the system.startStart shorewall Lite. Existing connections through
shorewall-lite managed interfaces are untouched. New connections
will be allowed only if they are allowed by the firewall rules or
policies. If -f is specified, the
saved configuration specified by the RESTOREFILE option in shorewall-lite.conf(5) will
be restored if that saved configuration exists and has been modified
more recently than the files in /etc/shorewall.The option causes Shorewall to avoid
updating the routing table(s).stopStops the firewall. All existing connections, except those
listed in shorewall-routestopped(5)
or permitted by the ADMINISABSENTMINDED option in shorewall.conf(5),
are taken down. The only new traffic permitted through the firewall
is from systems listed in shorewall-routestopped(5)
or by ADMINISABSENTMINDED.statusProduces a short report about the state of the
Shorewall-configured firewall.versionDisplays Shorewall-lite's version.FILES/etc/shorewall-lite/See ALSOhttp://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htmshorewall-accounting(5), shorewall-actions(5),
