<title>Description</title>
<para>The interfaces file serves to define the firewall's network
interfaces to shorewall6. The order of entries in this file is not
significant in determining zone composition.</para>
<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/shorewall6/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="shorewall6-hosts.html">shorewall6-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>

<term><emphasis role="bold">INTERFACE</emphasis> -
<emphasis>interface</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">[:</emphasis><emphasis>port</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>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="http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq18">http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq18</ulink></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>Care must be exercised when using wildcards where there is
another zone that uses a matching specific interface. See <ulink
url="shorewall6-nesting.html">shorewall6-nesting</ulink>(5) for a
discussion of this problem.</para>
<para>Shorewall6 allows '+' as an interface name.</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 must be empty when a <replaceable>port</replaceable> is
given.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">UNICAST</emphasis> - <emphasis
role="bold">-</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Enter '<emphasis role="bold">-'</emphasis> in this column. It
is here for compatibility between Shorewall6 and Shorewall.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">OPTIONS</emphasis> (Optional) -
[<emphasis>option</emphasis>[<emphasis
role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>option</emphasis>]...]</term>
<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>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">blacklist</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Check packets arriving on this interface against the
<ulink
url="shorewall6-blacklist.html">shorewall6-blacklist</ulink>(5)
file.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">bridge</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Designates the interface as a bridge.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">mss</emphasis>[=<emphasis>number</emphasis>]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Causes forwarded TCP SYN packets entering or leaving on
this interface to have their MSS field set to the specified
<replaceable>number</replaceable>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">optional</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>When <option>optional</option> is specified for an
interface, shorewall6 will be silent when:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>a <filename
class="directory">/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/</filename>
entry for the interface cannot be modified.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The first global IPv6 address of the interface
cannot be obtained.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">routeback</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>If specified, indicates that shorewall6 should include
rules that allow filtering traffic arriving on this interface
back out that same interface. This option is also required
when you have used a wildcard in the INTERFACE column if you
want to allow traffic between the interfaces that match the
wildcard.</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
(sets
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<emphasis>interface</emphasis>/accept_source_route
to 1). Only set this option if you know what you are doing.
This might represent a security risk and is not usually
needed.</para>
<para>Only those interfaces with the
<option>sourceroute</option> option will have their setting
changes; 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
<replaceable>interface</replaceable> name (e.g., eth0.+) in
the INTERFACE column.</para>
</note>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">tcpflags</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>
</listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term>proxyndp[={0|1}]</term>
<listitem>

<para><emphasis role="bold">Note</emphasis>: This option does
not work with a wild-card <replaceable>interface</replaceable>
name (e.g., eth0.+) in the INTERFACE column.</para>
<para>Only those interfaces with the <option>proxyndp</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>
