shorewall6-notrack 5 notrack shorewall notrack file /etc/shorewall/notrack The original intent of the notrack file was to exempt certain traffic from Netfilter connection tracking. Traffic matching entries in this file were not to be tracked. The role of the file was expanded in Shorewall 4.4.27 to include all rules tht can be added in the Netfilter raw table. The file supports two different column layouts: FORMAT 1 and FORMAT 2, FORMAT 1 being the default. The two differ in that FORMAT 2 has an additional leading ACTION column. When an entry in the file of this form is encountered, the format of the following entries are assumed to be of the specified format. FORMAT format where format is either 1 or 2. The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in the alternate specification syntax). ACTION - {NOTRACK|CT:option:args} This column is only present when FORMAT = 2. Values other than NOTRACK require CT Target support in your iptables and kernel. Type man iptables and search for the CT target extension. The text will describe the options and args supported. When FORMAT = 1, this column is not present and the rule is processed as if NOTRACK had been entered in this column. SOURCE ‒ {zone[:interface][:address-list]|COMMENT} where zone is the name of a zone, interface is an interface to that zone, and address-list is a comma-separated list of addresses (may contain exclusion - see shorewall-exclusion (5)). 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. DEST ‒ [interface|address-list] where interface is the name of a network interface and address-list is a comma-separated list of addresses (may contain exclusion - see shorewall-exclusion (5)). If an interface is given: It must be up and configured with an IPv4 address when Shorewall is started or restarted. All routes out of the interface must be configured when Shorewall is started or restarted. Default routes out of the interface will result in a warning message and will be ignored. These restrictions are because Netfilter doesn't support NOTRACK rules that specify a destination interface (these rules are applied before packets are routed and hence the destination interface is unknown). Shorewall uses the routes out of the interface to replace the interface with an address list corresponding to the networks routed out of the named interface. PROTO ‒ protocol-name-or-number A protocol name from /etc/protocols or a protocol number. DEST PORT(S) (dport) - port-number/service-name-list A comma-separated list of port numbers and/or service names from /etc/services. May also include port ranges of the form low-port:high-port if your kernel and iptables include port range support. SOURCE PORT(S) (sport) - port-number/service-name-list A comma-separated list of port numbers and/or service names from /etc/services. May also include port ranges of the form low-port:high-port if your kernel and iptables include port range support. USER/GROUP (user) ‒ [user][:group] May only be specified if the SOURCE zone is $FW. Specifies the effective user id and or group id of the process sending the traffic. /etc/shorewall/notrack http://shorewall.net/configuration_file_basics.htm#Pairs shorewall(8), shorewall-accounting(5), shorewall-actions(5), shorewall-blacklist(5), shorewall-hosts(5), shorewall_interfaces(5), shorewall-ipsets(5), shorewall-masq(5), shorewall-nat(5), shorewall-netmap(5), shorewall-params(5), shorewall-policy(5), shorewall-providers(5), shorewall-proxyarp(5), shorewall-route_rules(5), shorewall-routestopped(5), shorewall-rules(5), shorewall.conf(5), shorewall-secmarks(5), shorewall-tcclasses(5), shorewall-tcdevices(5), shorewall-tcrules(5), shorewall-tos(5), shorewall-tunnels(5), shorewall-zones(5)
