shorewall-tcrules5tcrulesShorewall Packet Marking rules file/etc/shorewall/rulesDescriptionEntries in this file cause packets to be marked as a means of
classifying them for traffic control or policy routing.Unlike rules in the shorewall-rules(5) file, evaluation
of rules in this file will continue after a match. So the final mark for
each packet will be the one assigned by the LAST tcrule that
matches.If you use multiple internet providers with the 'track' option, in
/etc/shorewall/providers be sure to read the restrictions at http://shorewall.net/MultiISP.html.The columns in the file are as follows.MARK/CLASSIFY -
{value|major:minor|RESTORE[/mask]|SAVE[/mask]|CONTINUE|COMMENT}[:{C|F|P|T|CF|CP|CT}]May assume one of the following values.A mark value which is an integer in
the range 1-255.Normally will set the mark value. If preceded by a
vertical bar ("|"), the mark value will be logically ORed with
the current mark value to produce a new mark value. If preceded
by an ampersand ("&"), will be logically ANDed with the
current mark value to produce a new mark value.Both "|" and "&" require Extended MARK Target support
in your kernel and iptables; neither may be used with connection
marks (see below).May optionally be followed by :P, :F
or :T where :P indicates that marking should occur
in the PREROUTING chain, :F
indicates that marking should occur in the FORWARD chain and
:T indicates that marking
should occur in the POSTROUTING chain. If neither :P, :F
nor :T follow the mark value
then the chain is determined as follows:- If the SOURCE is $FW[:address-or-range[,address-or-range]...],
then the rule is inserted into the OUTPUT chain. The behavior
changed in Shorewall-perl 4.1. Previously, when
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, Shorewall allowed non-zero mark values
< 256 to be assigned in the OUTPUT chain. This has been
changed so that only high mark values may be assigned there.
Packet marking rules for traffic shaping of packets originating
on the firewall must be coded in the POSTROUTING chain (see
below).- Otherwise, the chain is determined by the setting of
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN in shorewall.conf(5).If your kernel and iptables include CONNMARK support then
you can also mark the connection rather than the packet.The mark value may be optionally followed by "/" and a
mask value (used to determine those bits of the connection mark
to actually be set). The mark and optional mask are then
followed by one of:+CMark the connection in the chain determined by the
setting of MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAINCFMark the connection in the FORWARD chainCPMark the connection in the PREROUTING chain.CTMark the connecdtion in the POSTROUTING chainSpecial considerations for If
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes in shorewall.conf(5).If HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, then you may also specify a value
in the range 0x0100-0xFF00 with the low-order byte being zero.
Such values may only be used in the PREROUTING chain (value
followed by :P or you have set
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=No in shorewall.conf(5) and have not
followed the value with ) or the OUTPUT chain
(SOURCE is $FW). With
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, non-zero mark values less that 256 are not
permitted. Shorewall 4.1 and later versions prohibit non-zero
mark values less that 256 in the OUTPUT chain when
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes. While earlier versions allow such values
in the OUTPUT chain, it is strongly recommended that with
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, you use the POSTROUTING chain to apply
traffic shaping marks/classification.A classification Id (classid) of the form
major:minor where
major and minor are
integers. Corresponds to the 'class' specification in these
traffic shaping modules: atm
cbq
dsmark
pfifo_fast
htb
prioClassification occurs in the POSTROUTING chain except when
the SOURCE is $FW[:address] in
which case classification occurs in the OUTPUT chain.When using Shorewall's built-in traffic shaping tool, the
major class is the device number (the first
device in shorewall-tcdevices(5) is
major class 1, the second device is major class 2, and so on)
and the minor class is the class's MARK
value in shorewall-tcclasses(5)
preceded by the number 1 (MARK 1 corresponds to minor class 11,
MARK 5 corresponds to minor class 15, MARK 22 corresponds to
minor class 122, etc.).RESTORE[/mask] --
restore the packet's mark from the connection's mark using the
supplied mask if any. Your kernel and iptables must include
CONNMARK support.As in 1) above, may be followed by :P or :FSAVE[/mask] -- save
the packet's mark to the connection's mark using the supplied
mask if any. Your kernel and iptables must include CONNMARK
support.As in 1) above, may be followed by :P or :FCONTINUE Don't process
any more marking rules in the table.As in 1) above, may be followed by :P or :F. Currently, CONTINUE may not be used
with exclusion (see the SOURCE and DEST
columns below); that restriction will be removed when
iptables/Netfilter provides the necessary support.COMMENT -- the rest of
the line will be attached as a comment to the Netfilter rule(s)
generated by the following entries. The comment will appear
delimited by "/* ... */" in the output of shorewall
show mangleTo stop the comment from being attached to further rules,
simply include COMMENT on a line by itself.SOURCE - {-|{interface|$FW}|[{interface|$FW}:]address-or-range[,address-or-range]...}[exclusion]Source of the packet. A comma-separated list of interface
names, IP addresses, MAC addresses and/or subnets for packets being
routed through a common path. List elements may also consist of an
interface name followed by ":" and an address (e.g.,
eth1:192.168.1.0/24). For example, all packets for connections
masqueraded to eth0 from other interfaces can be matched in a single
rule with several alternative SOURCE criteria. However, a connection
whose packets gets to eth0 in a different way, e.g., direct from the
firewall itself, needs a different rule.Accordingly, use $FW in its
own separate rule for packets originating on the firewall. In such a
rule, the MARK column may NOT specify either :P or :F
because marking for firewall-originated packets always occurs in the
OUTPUT chain.MAC addresses must be prefixed with "~" and use "-" as a
separator.Example: ~00-A0-C9-15-39-78You may exclude certain hosts from the set already defined
through use of an exclusion (see shorewall-exclusion(5)).DEST - {-|{interface|[interface:]address-or-range[,address-or-range]...}[exclusion]Destination of the packet. Comma separated list of IP
addresses and/or subnets. If your kernel and iptables include
iprange match support, IP address ranges are also allowed. List
elements may also consist of an interface name followed by ":" and
an address (e.g., eth1:192.168.1.0/24). If the MARK column specificies a classification of
the form major:minor then
this column may also contain an interface name.You may exclude certain hosts from the set already defined
through use of an exclusion (see shorewall-exclusion(5)).PROTO - {-|tcp:syn|ipp2p|ipp2p:udp|ipp2p:all|protocol-number|protocol-name|all}Protocol - ipp2p requires
ipp2p match support in your kernel and iptables.PORT(S) (Optional) - [-|port-name-number-or-range[,port-name-number-or-range]...]Destination Ports. A comma-separated list of Port names (from
services(5)), port numbers or port
ranges; if the protocol is icmp, this column is interpreted as the
destination icmp-type(s).If the protocol is ipp2p,
this column is interpreted as an ipp2p option without the leading
"--" (example bit for bit-torrent).
If no PORT is given, ipp2p is
assumed.This column is ignored if PROTOCOL = all but must be entered
if any of the following field is supplied. In that case, it is
suggested that this field contain "-"SOURCE PORT(S) (Optional) -
[-|port-name-number-or-range[,port-name-number-or-range]...]Source port(s). If omitted, any source port is acceptable.
Specified as a comma-separated list of port names, port numbers or
port ranges.USER (Optional) - [!][user-name-or-number][:group-name-or-number][+program-name]This column may only be non-empty if the SOURCE is the
firewall itself.When this column is non-empty, the rule applies only if the
program generating the output is running under the effective
user and/or group
specified (or is NOT running under that id if "!" is given).Examples:joeprogram must be run by joe:kidsprogram must be run by a member of the 'kids'
group!:kidsprogram must not be run by a member of the 'kids'
group+upnpd#program named upnpdThe ability to specify a program name was removed from
Netfilter in kernel version 2.6.14.TEST - [!]value[/mask][:C]Defines a test on the existing packet or connection mark. The
rule will match only if the test returns true.If you don't want to define a test but need to specify
anything in the following columns, place a "-" in this field.!Inverts the test (not equal)valueValue of the packet or connection mark.maskA mask to be applied to the mark before testing.:CDesignates a connection mark. If omitted, the packet
mark's value is tested.LENGTH (Optional) -
[length|[min]:[max]]Packet Length. This field, if present allow you to match the
length of a packet against a specific value or range of values. You
must have iptables length support for this to work. A range is
specified in the form
min:max where either
min or max (but not both)
may be omitted. If min is omitted, then 0 is
assumed; if max is omitted, than any packet
that is min or longer will match.TOS -
tosType of service. Either a standard name, or a numeric value to
match.Minimize-Delay (16)
Maximize-Throughput (8)
Maximize-Reliability (4)
Minimize-Cost (2)
Normal-Service (0)HELPER -
"helper"Added in Shorewall-perl 4.2.0 Beta 2. Names a Netfiler
protocol helper module such as
, , ,
etc.ExampleExample 1:Mark all ICMP echo traffic with packet mark 1. Mark all peer
to peer traffic with packet mark 4.This is a little more complex than otherwise expected. Since
the ipp2p module is unable to determine all packets in a connection
are P2P packets, we mark the entire connection as P2P if any of the
packets are determined to match.We assume packet/connection mark 0 means unclassified. #MARK/ SOURCE DEST PROTO PORT(S) SOURCE USER TEST
