<title>Description</title>
<para>The original intent of the <emphasis role="bold">notrack</emphasis>
file was to exempt certain traffic from Netfilter connection tracking.
Traffic matching entries in the file were not to be tracked.</para>
<para>The role of the file was expanded in Shorewall 4.4.27 to include all
rules that can be added in the Netfilter <emphasis
role="bold">raw</emphasis> table. In 4.5.7, the file's name was changed to
<emphasis role="bold">conntrack</emphasis>.</para>
<para>The file supports two different column layouts: FORMAT 1, FORMAT 2,
and FORMAT 3, FORMAT 1 being the default. The three differ as
follows:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>in FORMAT 2 and 3, there is an additional leading ACTION
column.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>in FORMAT 3, the SOURCE column accepts no zone name; rather the
ACTION column allows a SUFFIX that determines the chain(s) that the
generated rule will be added to.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>When an entry in the following form is encountered, the format of
the following entries are assumed to be of the specified
<replaceable>format</replaceable>.</para>
<simplelist>
<member><emphasis role="bold">FORMAT</emphasis>
<replaceable>format</replaceable></member>
</simplelist>
<para>where <replaceable>format</replaceable> is either <emphasis
role="bold">1</emphasis>,<emphasis role="bold">2</emphasis> or <emphasis
role="bold">3</emphasis>.</para>
<para>Format 3 was introduced in Shorewall 4.5.10.</para>
<para>Comments may be attached to Netfilter rules generated from entries
in this file through the use of COMMENT lines. These lines begin with the
word COMMENT; the remainder of the line is treated as a comment which is
attached to subsequent rules until another COMMENT line is found or until
the end of the file is reached. To stop adding comments to rules, use a
line with only the word COMMENT.</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">ACTION</emphasis> - {<emphasis

<para>When FORMAT = 1, this column is not present and the rule is

<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.10, when FORMAT = 3, this column
can end with a colon followed by a

<replaceable>chain-designator</replaceable> can be one of the

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SOURCE (formats 1 and 2) ‒
{<emphasis>zone</emphasis>[:<emphasis>interface</emphasis>][:<emphasis>address-list</emphasis>]|COMMENT}</term>
<listitem>
<para>where <replaceable>zone</replaceable> is the name of a zone,
<replaceable>interface</replaceable> is an interface to that zone,
and <replaceable>address-list</replaceable> is a comma-separated
list of addresses (may contain exclusion - see <ulink
url="shorewall-exclusion.html">shorewall-exclusion</ulink>
(5)).</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.7, <option>all</option> can be
used as the <replaceable>zone</replaceable> name to mean
<firstterm>all zones</firstterm>.</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.10, <option>all-</option> can be
used as the <replaceable>zone</replaceable> name to mean all
<firstterm>off-firewall zone</firstterm>s.</para>
<note>
<para>In 4.5.10, handling of <option>all</option> was changed.
<option>all</option> now causes the generated netfilter rule to be
appended to the raw table PREROUTING and OUTPUT chains directly.
<option>all-</option> rules are added directly to PREROUTING.
<option>all</option> and <option>all-</option> rules are processed
after the more specific rules that specify an individual
zone.</para>
</note>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SOURCE (formats 3) ‒
{-|[:<emphasis>interface</emphasis>][:<emphasis>address-list</emphasis>}</term>
<listitem>
<para>Where <replaceable>interface</replaceable> is an interface to
that zone, and <replaceable>address-list</replaceable> is a
comma-separated list of addresses (may contain exclusion - see
<ulink url="shorewall-exclusion.html">shorewall-exclusion</ulink>
(5)).</para>
<para>COMMENT is only allowed in format 1; the remainder of the line
is treated as a comment that will be associated with the generated
rule(s).</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>DEST ‒
[<replaceable>interface</replaceable>|<replaceable>address-list</replaceable>]</term>
<listitem>
<para>where <replaceable>interface</replaceable> is the name of a
network interface and <replaceable>address-list</replaceable> is a
comma-separated list of addresses (may contain exclusion - see
<ulink url="shorewall-exclusion.html">shorewall-exclusion</ulink>
(5)). If an interface is given:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>It must be up and configured with an IPv4 address when
Shorewall is started or restarted.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>All routes out of the interface must be configured when
Shorewall is started or restarted.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Default routes out of the interface will result in a
warning message and will be ignored.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>These restrictions are because Netfilter doesn't support
NOTRACK rules that specify a destination interface (these rules are
applied before packets are routed and hence the destination
interface is unknown). Shorewall uses the routes out of the
interface to replace the interface with an address list
corresponding to the networks routed out of the named
interface.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>PROTO ‒
<replaceable>protocol-name-or-number</replaceable></term>

from <filename>/etc/services</filename>. May also include port
ranges of the form
<replaceable>low-port</replaceable>:<replaceable>high-port</replaceable>
if your kernel and iptables include port range support.</para>

<varlistentry>
<term>SOURCE PORT(S) (sport) - port-number/service-name-list</term>
<listitem>

if your kernel and iptables include port range support.</para>

<term><emphasis role="bold">SWITCH -
[!]<replaceable>switch-name</replaceable></emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.10 and allows enabling and disabling
the rule without requiring <command>shorewall
restart</command>.</para>
<para>The rule is enabled if the value stored in
<filename>/proc/net/nf_condition/<replaceable>switch-name</replaceable></filename>
is 1. The rule is disabled if that file contains 0 (the default). If
'!' is supplied, the test is inverted such that the rule is enabled
if the file contains 0. <replaceable>switch-name</replaceable> must
begin with a letter and be composed of letters, decimal digits,
underscores or hyphens. Switch names must be 30 characters or less
in length.</para>
<para>Switches are normally <emphasis role="bold">off</emphasis>. To
turn a switch <emphasis role="bold">on</emphasis>:</para>
<simplelist>
<member><command>echo 1 &gt;

<simplelist>
<member><command>echo 0 &gt;
