<title>Zone and Chain Names</title>
<para>For a pair of zones, Shorewall creates two Netfilter chains; one for
connections in each direction. The names of these chains are formed by
separating the names of the two zones by either "2" or "-".</para>
<para>Example: Traffic from zone A to zone B would go through chain A2B
(think "A to B") or "A-B".</para>
<para>The default separator is "2" but you can override that by setting
ZONE_SEPARATOR="-" in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink> (5).</para>
<para>Zones themselves have names that begin with a letter and are
composed of letters, numerals, and "_". The maximum length of a name is
dependent on the setting of LOGFORMAT in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink> (5). See <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-zones.html">shorewall-zones</ulink> (5) for
details.</para>
