    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Use this file to define Source NAT (SNAT). Requires Shorewall 4.5.14
    or later.</para>

    <note>
      <para>Unlike with IPv4, Netfilter does not support the MASQUERADE target
      with IPv6.</para>
    </note>

    <warning>
      <para>The entries in this file are order-sensitive. The first entry that
      matches a particular connection will be the one that is used.</para>
    </warning>

    <warning>
      <para>If you have more than one ISP link, adding entries to this file
      will <emphasis role="bold">not</emphasis> force connections to go out
      through a particular link. You must use entries in <ulink
      url="shorewall6-rtrules.html">shorewall6-rtrules</ulink>(5) or
      PREROUTING entries in <ulink
      url="shorewall6-tcrules.html">shorewall-tcrules</ulink>(5) to do
      that.</para>
    </warning>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">INTERFACE:DEST</emphasis> - {[<emphasis
        role="bold">+</emphasis>]<emphasis>interfacelist</emphasis>|[<emphasis
        role="bold">:</emphasis>[<emphasis>dest-address</emphasis>[<emphasis
        role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>dest-address</emphasis>]...[<emphasis>exclusion</emphasis>]]|[?]COMMENT}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Outgoing <emphasis>interfacelist</emphasis>. This may be a
          comma-separated list of interface names. This is usually your
          internet interface.</para>

          <para>Each interface must match an entry in <ulink
          url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5).
          Shorewall allows loose matches to wildcard entries in <ulink
          url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5).
          For example, <filename class="devicefile">ppp0</filename> in this
          file will match a <ulink
          url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5)
          entry that defines <filename
          class="devicefile">ppp+</filename>.</para>

          <para>Where <ulink
          url="http://www.shorewall.net/4.4/MultiISP.html#Shared">more that
          one internet provider share a single interface</ulink>, the provider
          is specified by including the provider name or number in
          parentheses:</para>

          <programlisting>        eth0(Avvanta)</programlisting>

          <para>In that case, you will want to specify the interfaces's
          address for that provider in the ADDRESS column.</para>

          <para>The interface may be qualified by adding the character ":"
          followed by a comma-separated list of destination host or subnet
          addresses to indicate that you only want to change the source IP
          address for packets being sent to those particular destinations.
          Exclusion is allowed (see <ulink
          url="shorewall6-exclusion.html">shorewall6-exclusion</ulink>(5)) as
          are ipset names preceded by a plus sign '+'.</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>

          <note>
            <para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.11, ?COMMENT is a synonym for
            COMMENT and is preferred.</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>Set of hosts that you wish to SNAT; one or more host or
          network addresses separated by comma. You may use ipset names
          preceded by a plus sign (+) to specify a set of hosts.</para>

        <term><emphasis role="bold">ADDRESS</emphasis> -
        {<emphasis>address-or-address-range</emphasis>[,<emphasis>address-or-address-range</emphasis>]...][:<emphasis>lowport</emphasis><emphasis
        role="bold">-</emphasis><emphasis>highport</emphasis>][<emphasis
        role="bold">:random</emphasis>][:persistent]|}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>The address specified here will be used as the source address.
          If you simply wish to use the IPv6 address of the
          <replaceable>interface</replaceable> in the first column, enter the
          name of that interface preceded by an apersand ('&amp;') - e.g.,
          &amp;sit1.</para>

          <para>You may also specify a range of up to 256 IP addresses if you
          want the SNAT address to be assigned from that range in a
          round-robin fashion by connection. The range is specified by
          <emphasis>first.ip.in.range</emphasis>-<emphasis>last.ip.in.range</emphasis>.
          The address or address range may be optionally followed by a port
          range. When this is done, you must enclose the IPv6 address(es) in
          square brackets. You may follow the port range with<emphasis
          role="bold"> :random</emphasis> in which case assignment of ports
          from the range will be random.</para>

          <para>Example:
          [2001:470:a:227::2]-[2001:470:a:227::10]::1000-1010</para>

          <para>You may follow the port range (or <emphasis
          role="bold">:random</emphasis>) with <emphasis
          role="bold">:persistent</emphasis>. This is only useful when an
          address range is specified and causes a client to be given the same
          source/destination IP pair.</para>

          <para>Finally, you may also specify a comma-separated list of ranges
          and/or addresses in this column.</para>

          <para>This column may not contain DNS Names.</para>

          <para>Normally, Netfilter will attempt to retain the source port
          number. You may cause netfilter to remap the source port by
          following an address or range (if any) by ":" and a port range with
          the format
          <emphasis>lowport</emphasis>-<emphasis>highport</emphasis>. If this
          is done, you must specify "tcp" or "udp" in the PROTO column.</para>

          <para>Examples:</para>

          <programlisting>        [2001:470:a:787::2]:5000-6000</programlisting>

          <para>If you simply place <emphasis role="bold">NONAT</emphasis> in
          this column, no rewriting of the source IP address or port number
          will be performed. This is useful if you want particular traffic to
          be exempt from the entries that follow in the file.</para>

          numbers (or names from services(5)) or port ranges separated by

          more addresses (host or network) separated by commas. Address ranges
          are not allowed. When this column is supplied, rules are generated
          that require that the original destination address matches one of
          the listed addresses. It is useful for specifying that SNAT should
          occur only for connections that were acted on by a DNAT when they
          entered the firewall.</para>
