<title>Description</title>
<para>The /etc/shorewall6/zones file declares your network zones. You
specify the hosts in each zone through entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall6/interfaces</filename> or
<filename>/etc/shorewall6/hosts</filename>.</para>
<para>The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is
followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in
the alternate specification syntax).</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ZONE</emphasis> -
<emphasis>zone</emphasis>[<emphasis
role="bold">:</emphasis><emphasis>parent-zone</emphasis>[<emphasis
role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>parent-zone</emphasis>]...]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Name of the <emphasis>zone</emphasis>. The names "all",
"none", "SOURCE" and "DEST" are reserved and may not be used as zone
names. The maximum length of a zone name is determined by the
setting of the LOGFORMAT option in <ulink
url="shorewall6.conf.html">shorewall6.conf</ulink>(5). With the
default LOGFORMAT, zone names can be at most 5 characters
long.</para>
<blockquote>
<para>The maximum length of an iptables log prefix is 29 bytes. As
explained in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall6.conf</ulink> (5), the default
LOGPREFIX formatting string is “Shorewall:%s:%s:” where the first
%s is replaced by the chain name and the second is replaced by the
disposition.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The default formatting string has 12 fixed characters
("Shorewall" and three colons).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The longest of the standard dispositions are ACCEPT and
REJECT which have 6 characters each.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The canonical name for the chain containing the rules
for traffic going from zone 1 to zone 2 is "&lt;zone
1&gt;2&lt;zone 2&gt;".</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>So if M is the maximum zone name length, such chains can
have length 2*M + 1.</para>
<simplelist>
<member>12 + 6 + 2*M + 1 = 29 which reduces to</member>
<member>2*M = 29 - 12 - 6 - 1 = 10 or</member>
<member>M = 5</member>
</simplelist>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</blockquote>
<para>The order in which Shorewall6 matches addresses from packets
to zones is determined by the order of zone declarations. Where a
zone is nested in one or more other zones, you may either ensure
that the nested zone precedes its parents in this file, or you may
follow the (sub)zone name by ":" and a comma-separated list of the
parent zones. The parent zones must have been declared in earlier
records in this file. See <ulink
url="shorewall6-nesting.html">shorewall6-nesting</ulink>(5) for
additional information.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE TYPE OPTIONS IN OPTIONS OUT OPTIONS
a ipv6
b ipv6
c:a,b ipv6</programlisting>
<para>Currently, Shorewall6 uses this information to reorder the
zone list so that parent zones appear after their subzones in the
list. The IMPLICIT_CONTINUE option in <ulink
url="shorewall6.conf.html">shorewall6.conf</ulink>(5) can also
create implicit CONTINUE policies to/from the subzone.</para>
<para>Where an <emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis> zone is
explicitly included as a child of an <emphasis
role="bold">ipv6</emphasis> zone, the ruleset allows CONTINUE
policies (explicit or implicit) to work as expected.</para>
<para>In the future, Shorewall6 may make additional use of nesting
information.</para>

<para>This is the standard Shorewall6 zone type and is the
