<note>
|
|
<para>For most operations, DHCP software interfaces to the Linux IP stack
|
|
at a level below Netfilter. Hence, Netfilter (and therefore Shorewall)
|
|
cannot be used effectively to police DHCP. The <quote>dhcp</quote>
|
|
interface option described in this article allows for Netfilter to stay
|
|
out of DHCP's way for those operations that can be controlled by Netfilter
|
|
and prevents unwanted logging of DHCP-related traffic by
|
|
Shorewall-generated Netfilter logging rules.</para>
