<title>Description</title>
<para>The interfaces file serves to define the firewall's network
interfaces to Shorewall. The order of entries in this file is not
significant in determining zone composition.</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.3, the interfaces file supports two
different formats:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>FORMAT 1 (default - deprecated)</term>
<listitem>
<para>There is a BROADCAST column which can be used to specify the
broadcast address associated with the interface.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>FORMAT 2</term>
<listitem>
<para>The BROADCAST column is omitted.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>The format is specified by a line as follows:</para>
<blockquote>
<para><emphasis role="bold">?FORMAT {1|2}</emphasis></para>
</blockquote>
<para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ZONE</emphasis> -
<emphasis>zone-name</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Zone for this interface. Must match the name of a zone
declared in /etc/shorewall/zones. You may not list the firewall zone
in this column.</para>
<para>If the interface serves multiple zones that will be defined in
the <ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall-hosts.html">shorewall-hosts</ulink>(5)
file, you should place "-" in this column.</para>
<para>If there are multiple interfaces to the same zone, you must
list them in separate entries.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST
loc eth1 -
loc eth2 -</programlisting>
</blockquote>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">INTERFACE</emphasis> -
<emphasis>interface</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">[:</emphasis><emphasis>port</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Logical name of interface. Each interface may be listed only
once in this file. You may NOT specify the name of a "virtual"
interface (e.g., eth0:0) here; see <ulink
url="/FAQ.htm#faq18">http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq18</ulink>.
If the <option>physical</option> option is not specified, then the
logical name is also the name of the actual interface.</para>
<para>You may use wildcards here by specifying a prefix followed by
the plus sign ("+"). For example, if you want to make an entry that
applies to all PPP interfaces, use 'ppp+'; that would match ppp0,
ppp1, ppp2, …</para>
<para>When using Shorewall versions before 4.1.4, care must be
exercised when using wildcards where there is another zone that uses
a matching specific interface. See <ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall-nesting.html">shorewall-nesting</ulink>(5)
for a discussion of this problem.</para>
<para>Shorewall allows '+' as an interface name, but that usage is
deprecated. A better approach is to specify
'<option>physical</option>=+' in the OPTIONS column (see
below).</para>
<para>There is no need to define the loopback interface (lo) in this
file.</para>
<para>If a <replaceable>port</replaceable> is given, then the
<replaceable>interface</replaceable> must have been defined
previously with the <option>bridge</option> option. The OPTIONS
column may not contain the following options when a
<replaceable>port</replaceable> is given.</para>
<simplelist>
<member>arp_filter</member>
<member>arp_ignore</member>
<member>bridge</member>

<member>required</member>
<member>routefilter</member>
<member>sourceroute</member>
<member>upnp</member>
<member>wait</member>
</simplelist>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.17, if you specify a zone for the
'lo' interface, then that zone must be defined as type
<option>local</option> in <ulink

<listitem>
<para>Only available if FORMAT 1.</para>
<para>If you use the special value <emphasis
role="bold">detect</emphasis>, Shorewall will detect the broadcast
address(es) for you if your iptables and kernel include Address Type
Match support.</para>
<para>If your iptables and/or kernel lack Address Type Match support
then you may list the broadcast address(es) for the network(s) to
which the interface belongs. For P-T-P interfaces, this column is
left blank. If the interface has multiple addresses on multiple
subnets then list the broadcast addresses as a comma-separated
list.</para>
<para>If you don't want to give a value for this column but you want
to enter a value in the OPTIONS column, enter <emphasis
role="bold">-</emphasis> in this column.</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">OPTIONS</emphasis> (Optional) -
[<emphasis>option</emphasis>[<emphasis

<listitem>
<para>A comma-separated list of options from the following list. The
order in which you list the options is not significant but the list
should have no embedded white-space.</para>

<replaceable>interface</replaceable> entry will not disable
route filtering on that
<replaceable>interface</replaceable>! The effective setting
for an <replaceable>interface</replaceable> is the maximum
of the contents of
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter</filename>
and the routefilter setting specified in this file
(/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<replaceable>interface</replaceable>/rp_filter).</para>
</important>
<note>
<para>There are certain cases where
<option>routefilter</option> cannot be used on an
interface:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>If USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes in <ulink

and the interface is listed in <ulink

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If there is an entry for the interface in <ulink

that doesn't specify the <option>balance</option>
option.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If IPSEC is used to allow a road-warrior to have a
local address, then any interface through which the
road-warrior might connect cannot specify
<option>routefilter</option>.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</note>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 5.1.1, when
<option>routefilter</option> is set to a non-zero value, the
<option>logmartians</option> option is also implicitly set. If
you actually want route filtering without logging, then you
must also specify <option>logmartians=0</option> after
<option>routefilter</option>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">rpfilter</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.7. This is an anti-spoofing
measure that requires the 'RPFilter Match' capability in your
iptables and kernel. It provides a more efficient alternative
to the <option>sfilter</option> option below. It performs a
function similar to <option>routefilter</option> (see above)
but works with Multi-ISP configurations that do not use
balanced routes.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">sfilter=(<emphasis>net</emphasis>[,...])</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.4.20. This option provides an
anti-spoofing alternative to <option>routefilter</option> on
interfaces where that option cannot be used, but where the
<option>routeback</option> option is required (on a bridge,
for example). On these interfaces, <option>sfilter</option>
should list those local networks that are connected to the
firewall through other interfaces.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">sourceroute[={0|1}]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>If this option is not specified for an interface, then
source-routed packets will not be accepted from that interface
unless it has been explicitly enabled via sysconf. Only set
this option to 1 (enable source routing) if you know what you
are doing. This might represent a security risk and is usually
unneeded.</para>
<para>Only those interfaces with the
<option>sourceroute</option> option will have their setting
changed; the value assigned to the setting will be the value
specified (if any) or 1 if no value is given.</para>
<note>
<para>This option does not work with a wild-card <emphasis
role="bold">physical</emphasis> name (e.g., eth0.+).
Beginning with Shorewall 5.1.10, If this option is
specified, a warning is issued and the option is
ignored.</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">tcpflags[={0|1}]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets arriving on this interface are checked for
certain illegal combinations of TCP flags. Packets found to
have such a combination of flags are handled according to the
setting of TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION after having been logged
according to the setting of TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL.</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.0, tcpflags=1 is the
default. To disable this option, specify tcpflags=0.</para>

<term><emphasis role="bold">upnpclient</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>This option is intended for laptop users who always run
Shorewall on their system yet need to run UPnP-enabled client
apps such as Transmission (BitTorrent client). The option
causes Shorewall to detect the default gateway through the
interface and to accept UDP packets from that gateway. Note
that, like all aspects of UPnP, this is a security hole so use
this option at your own risk. Supported in IPv4 and in IPv6 in
Shorewall 5.1.4 and later.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Suppose you have eth0 connected to a DSL modem and eth1
connected to your local network and that your local subnet is
192.168.1.0/24. The interface gets its IP address via DHCP from
subnet 206.191.149.192/27. You have a DMZ with subnet 192.168.2.0/24
using eth2. Your iptables and/or kernel do not support "Address Type
Match" and you prefer to specify broadcast addresses explicitly
rather than having Shorewall detect them.</para>
