Shorewall Routing Rules file
/etc/shorewall/rtrules
Description
Entries in this file cause traffic to be routed to one of the
providers listed in shorewall-providers(5).
The columns in the file are as follows.
SOURCE (Optional) - {-|[&]interface|address|interface:address}
An ip address (network or host) that
matches the source IP address in a packet. May also be specified as
an interface name optionally followed by ":"
and an address. If the device lo is
specified, the packet must originate from the firewall
itself.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.0, you may specify
&interface in this column to indicate
that the source is the primary IP address of the named
interface.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.8, you may specify a
comma-separated list of addresses in this column.
DEST (Optional) - {-|address}
An ip address (network or host) that matches the destination
IP address in a packet.
If you choose to omit either SOURCE or DEST, place "-" in that column. Note that you
may not omit both SOURCE and
DEST.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.8, you may specify a
comma-separated list of addresses in this column.
PROVIDER -
{provider-name|provider-number|main}
The provider to route the traffic through. May be expressed
either as the provider name or the provider number. May also be
main or 254 for the main routing
table. This can be used in combination with VPN tunnels, see example
2 below.
PRIORITY -
priority[!]
The rule's numeric priority which
determines the order in which the rules are processed. Rules with
equal priority are applied in the order in which they appear in the
file.
1000-1999
Before Shorewall-generated 'MARK' rules
11000-11999
After 'MARK' rules but before Shorewall-generated rules
for ISP interfaces.
26000-26999
After ISP interface rules but before 'default'
rule.
Beginning with Shorewall 5.0.2, the priority may be followed
optionally by an exclaimation mark ("!"). This causes the rule to
remain in place if the interface is disabled.
Be careful when using rules of the same PRIORITY as some
unexpected behavior can occur when multiple rules have the same
SOURCE. For example, in the following rules, the second rule
overwrites the first unless the priority in the second is changed
to 19001 or higher:
10.10.0.0/24 192.168.5.6 provider1 19000
10.10.0.0/24 - provider2 19000
MARK -
{-|mark[/mask]}
Optional -- added in Shorewall 4.4.25. For this rule to be
applied to a packet, the packet's mark value must match the
mark when logically anded with the
mask. If a
mask is not supplied, Shorewall supplies
a suitable provider mask.
Examples
Example 1:
You want all traffic coming in on eth1 to be routed to the
ISP1 provider.
#SOURCE DEST PROVIDER PRIORITY MASK
eth1 - ISP1 1000
Example 2:
You use OpenVPN (routed setup /tunX) in combination with
multiple providers. In this case you have to set up a rule to ensure
that the OpenVPN traffic is routed back through the tunX
interface(s) rather than through any of the providers. 10.8.0.0/24
is the subnet chosen in your OpenVPN configuration (server 10.8.0.0
255.255.255.0).
#SOURCE DEST PROVIDER PRIORITY MASK
- 10.8.0.0/24 main 1000
