<title>Description</title>
<para>This file is used to define additional routing tables. You will want
to define an additional table if:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You have connections to more than one ISP or multiple
connections to the same ISP</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You run Squid as a transparent proxy on a host other than the
firewall.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You have other requirements for policy routing.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Each entry in the file defines a single routing table.</para>
<para>If you wish to omit a column entry but want to include an entry in
the next column, use "-" for the omitted entry.</para>
<para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">NAME</emphasis> -
<emphasis>name</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The provider <emphasis>name</emphasis>. Must be a valid shell
variable name. The names 'local', 'main', 'default' and 'unspec' are
reserved and may not be used as provider names.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">NUMBER</emphasis> -
<emphasis>number</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The provider number -- a number between 1 and 15. Each
provider must be assigned a unique value.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">MARK</emphasis> (Optional) -
<emphasis>value</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>A FWMARK <emphasis>value</emphasis> used in your <ulink
url="shorewall6-tcrules.html">shorewall6-tcrules(5)</ulink> file to
direct packets to this provider.</para>
<para>If HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes in <ulink
url="shorewall6.conf.html">shorewall6.conf(5)</ulink>, then the
value must be a multiple of 256 between 256 and 65280 or their
hexadecimal equivalents (0x0100 and 0xff00 with the low-order byte
of the value being zero). Otherwise, the value must be between 1 and
255. Each provider must be assigned a unique mark value. This column
may be omitted if you don't use packet marking to direct connections
to a particular provider and you don't specify
<option>track</option> in the OPTIONS column.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">DUPLICATE</emphasis> -
<emphasis>routing-table-name</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of an existing table to duplicate to create this
routing table. May be <option>main</option> or the name of a
previously listed provider. You may select only certain entries from
the table to copy by using the COPY column below.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">INTERFACE</emphasis> -
<emphasis>interface</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of the network interface to the provider. Must be
listed in <ulink
url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces(5)</ulink>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">GATEWAY</emphasis> - {<emphasis
role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>address</emphasis>|<emphasis
role="bold">detect</emphasis>}</term>
<listitem>
<para>The IP address of the provider's gateway router.</para>
<para>You can enter "detect" here and Shorewall6 will attempt to
detect the gateway automatically.</para>
<para>For PPP devices, you may omit this column.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">OPTIONS</emphasis> (Optional) - [<emphasis
role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>option</emphasis>[<emphasis
role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>option</emphasis>]...]</term>
<listitem>
<para>A comma-separated list selected from the following. The order
of the options is not significant but the list may contain no
embedded whitespace.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.4.25. Causes a default route to
this provider's gateway to be added to the <emphasis
role="bold">main</emphasis> routing table (USE_DEFAULT_RT=No)
or to the <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> routing
table (USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes). At most one provider can specify
this option.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">fallback</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.4.25. Causes a default route to
this provider's gateway to be added to the <emphasis
role="bold">default</emphasis> routing table.At most one
provider can specify this option.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">track</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>If specified, inbound connections on this interface are
to be tracked so that responses may be routed back out this
same interface.</para>
<para>You want to specify <option>track</option> if internet
hosts will be connecting to local servers through this
provider.</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.3, <option>track</option>
defaults to the setting of the TRACK_PROVIDERS option in
<ulink url="shorwewall6.conf.html">shorewall6.conf</ulink>
(5). If you set TRACK_PROVIDERS=Yes and want to override that
setting for an individual provider, then specify
<option>notrack</option> (see below).</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Shorewall6 normally adds a routing rule for each IP
address on an interface which forces traffic whose source is
that IP address to be sent using the routing table for that
interface. Setting <option>loose</option> prevents creation of
such rules on this interface.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">notrack</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.4.3. When specified, turns off
<option>track</option>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">optional</emphasis> (deprecated for
use with providers that do not share an interface)</term>
<listitem>
<para>If the interface named in the INTERFACE column is not up
and configured with an IPv4 address then ignore this provider.
If not specified, the value of the <option>optional</option>
option for the INTERFACE in <ulink
url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces(5)</ulink>
is assumed. Use of that option is preferred to this one,
unless an <replaceable>address</replaceable> is provider in
the INTERFACE column.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>src=<replaceable>source-address</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies the source address to use when routing to this
provider and none is known (the local client has bound to the
0 address). May not be specified when an
<replaceable>address</replaceable> is given in the INTERFACE
column. If this option is not used, Shorewall6 substitutes the
primary IP address on the interface named in the INTERFACE
column.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>mtu=<replaceable>number</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies the MTU when forwarding through this provider.
If not given, the MTU of the interface named in the INTERFACE
column is assumed.</para>

<term><emphasis role="bold">COPY</emphasis> -
[{<option>none</option>|<emphasis>interface</emphasis><emphasis

<listitem>
<para>A comma-separated list of other interfaces on your firewall.
Wildcards specified using an asterisk ("*") are permitted (e.g.,
tun* ). Usually used only when DUPLICATE is <option>main</option>.
Only copy routes through INTERFACE and through interfaces listed
here. If you only wish to copy routes through INTERFACE, enter
<option>none</option> in this column.</para>
