<title>Description</title>
<para>The interfaces file serves to define the firewall's network
interfaces to Shorewall.</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/shorewall/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="shorewall-hosts.html">shorewall-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>

<emphasis>interface</emphasis><emphasis

<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 ppp1,
ppp2, …</para>
<para>There is no need to define the loopback interface (lo) in this
file.</para>
<para>(Shorewall-perl only) 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>

<term><emphasis role="bold">BROADCAST</emphasis> (Optional) —
{<emphasis role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis
role="bold">detect</emphasis>|<emphasis>address</emphasis>[,<emphasis>address</emphasis>]...}</term>
<listitem>
<para>The broadcast address(es) for the network(s) to which the
interface belongs. For P-T-P interfaces, this column is left
blank.If the interface has multiple addresses on multiple subnets
then list the broadcast addresses as a comma-separated list.</para>
<para>If you use the special value <emphasis
role="bold">detect</emphasis>, Shorewall will detect the broadcast
address(es) for you. If you select this option, the interface must
be up before the firewall is started.</para>
<para>If you don't want to give a value for this column but you want
to enter a value in the OPTIONS column, enter <emphasis
role="bold">-</emphasis> in this column.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Note to Shorewall-perl users:</emphasis>
Shorewall-perl only supports <option>detect</option> or <emphasis

<term><emphasis role="bold">OPTIONS</emphasis> (Optional) —

should have no embedded white space.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">arp_filter[={0|1}]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>If specified, this interface will only respond to ARP
who-has requests for IP addresses configured on the interface.
If not specified, the interface can respond to ARP who-has
requests for IP addresses on any of the firewall's interface.
The interface must be up when Shorewall is started.</para>
<para>The option value (0 or 1) may only be specified if you
are using Shorewall-perl. With Shorewall-perl, only those
interfaces with the <option>arp_filter</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>

<para>This option does not work with a wild-card
<replaceable>interface</replaceable> name (e.g., eth0.+) in
the INTERFACE column.</para>

requests based on the value of <emphasis>number</emphasis>

<para>1 - reply only if the target IP address is local address

<para>2 - reply only if the target IP address is local address

<listitem>
<para>Turn on kernel martian logging (logging of packets with
impossible source addresses. It is strongly suggested that if
you set <emphasis role="bold">routefilter</emphasis> on an
interface that you also set <emphasis
role="bold">logmartians</emphasis>. Even if you do not specify
the <option>routefilter</option> option, it is a good idea to
specify <option>logmartians</option> because your distribution
may be enabling route filtering without you knowing it.</para>
<para>The option value (0 or 1) may only be specified if you
are using Shorewall-perl. With Shorewall-perl, only those
interfaces with the <option>logmartians</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

<para>To find out if route filtering is set on a given
<replaceable>interface</replaceable>, check the contents of
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<replaceable>interface</replaceable>/rp_filter</filename>

enabled.</para>
