<title>CONFIG_PATH</title>
<para>The CONFIG_PATH option in <ulink
url="???">shorewall[6].conf(5)</ulink> determines where the compiler
searches for configuration files. The default setting is
CONFIG_PATH=/etc/shorewall:/usr/share/shorewall which means that the
compiler first looks in /etc/shorewall and if it doesn't find the file, it
then looks in /usr/share/shorewall.</para>
<para>You can change this setting to have the compiler look in different
places. For example, if you want to put your own versions of standard
macros in /etc/shorewall/Macros, then you could set
CONFIG_PATH=/etc/shorewall:/etc/shorewall/Macros:/usr/share/shorewall and
the compiler will use your versions rather than the standard ones.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Comments</title>
<para>You may place comments in configuration files by making the first
non-whitespace character a pound sign (<quote>#</quote>). You may also
place comments at the end of any line, again by delimiting the comment
from the rest of the line with a pound sign.</para>
<example id="comment">
<title>Comments in a Configuration File</title>
<programlisting># This is a comment
ACCEPT net $FW tcp www #This is an end-of-line comment</programlisting>
</example>
<important>
<para>Except in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf(5)</ulink> and <ulink
url="shorewall-params.html">params(5)</ulink>, if a comment ends with a
backslash ("\"), the next line will also be treated as a comment. See
<link linkend="Continuation">Line Continuation</link> below.</para>
</important>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Blank Lines</title>
<para>Most of the configuration files are organized into space-separated
columns. If you don't want to supply a value in a column but want to
supply a value in a following column, simply enter '-' to make the column
appear empty.</para>
<para>Example:<programlisting>#INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
br0 - routeback</programlisting></para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title id="Continuation">Line Continuation</title>
<para>Lines may be continued using the usual backslash (<quote>\</quote>)
followed immediately by a new line character (Enter key).</para>
<programlisting>ACCEPT net $FW tcp \↵
smtp,www,pop3,imap #Services running on the firewall</programlisting>
<important>
<para>What follows does NOT apply to <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-params.html">shorewall-params(5)</ulink> and
<ulink url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf(5)</ulink>.</para>
</important>
<para>In certain cases, leading white space is ignored in continuation
lines:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The continued line ends with a colon (":")</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The continued line ends with a comma (",")</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Example (<filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>):</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT
ACCEPT net:\
206.124.146.177,\
206.124.146.178,\
206.124.146.180\
dmz tcp 873</programlisting>
<para>The leading white space on the first through third continuation
lines is ignored so the SOURCE column effectively contains
"net:206.124.146.177,206.124.147.178,206.124.146.180". Because the third
continuation line does not end with a comma or colon, the leading white
space in the last line is not ignored.</para>
<important>
<para>A trailing backslash is not ignored in a comment. So the continued
rule above can be commented out with a single '#' as follows:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT
<emphasis role="bold">#</emphasis>ACCEPT net:\
206.124.146.177,\
206.124.146.178,\
206.124.146.180\
dmz tcp 873</programlisting>
</important>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Alternative Specification of Column Values</title>
<para>Some of the configuration files now have a large number of columns.
That makes it awkward to specify a value for one of the right-most columns
as you must have the correct number of intervening '-' columns.</para>
<para>This problem is addressed by allowing column values to be specified
as <replaceable>column-name</replaceable>/<replaceable>value</replaceable>
pairs.</para>
<para>There is considerable flexibility in how you specify the
pairs:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>At any point, you can enter a left curly bracket ('{') followed
by one or more specifications of the following forms:</para>
<simplelist>
<member><replaceable>column-name</replaceable>=<replaceable>value</replaceable></member>
<member><replaceable>column-name</replaceable>=<replaceable>&gt;value</replaceable></member>
<member><replaceable>column-name</replaceable>:<replaceable>value</replaceable></member>
</simplelist>
<para>The pairs must be followed by a right curly bracket
("}").</para>
<para>The value may optionally be enclosed in double quotes.</para>
<para>The pairs must be separated by white space, but you can add a
comma adjacent to the <replaceable>values</replaceable> for
readability as in:</para>
<simplelist>
<member><emphasis role="bold">{ proto=&gt;udp, port=1024
}</emphasis></member>
</simplelist>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You can also separate the pairs from columns by using a
semicolon:</para>
<simplelist>
<member><emphasis role="bold">; proto:udp,
port:1024</emphasis></member>
</simplelist>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>In Shorewall 5.0.3, the sample configuration files and the man pages
were updated to use the same column names in both the column headings and
in the alternate specification format. The following table shows the
column names for each of the table-oriented configuration files.</para>
<note>
<para>Column names are <emphasis
role="bold">case-insensitive</emphasis>.</para>

e.g. if you would like 'match for two hours from Montay 23:00

<title>Switches</title>
<para>here are times when you would like to enable or disable one or more
rules in the configuration without having to do a <command>shorewall
reload</command> or <command>shorewall restart</command>. This may be
accomplished using the SWITCH column in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-rules.html">shorewall-rules</ulink> (5) or <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-rules.html">shorewall6-rules</ulink> (5). Using
this column requires that your kernel and iptables include
<firstterm>Condition Match Support</firstterm> and you must be running
Shorewall 4.4.24 or later. See the output of <command>shorewall show
capabilities</command> and <command>shorewall version</command> to
determine if you can use this feature.</para>
<para>The SWITCH column contains the name of a
<firstterm>switch.</firstterm> Each switch is initially in the <emphasis
role="bold">off</emphasis> position. You can turn on the switch named
<emphasis>switch1</emphasis> by:</para>
<simplelist>
<member><command>echo 1 &gt;
/proc/net/nf_condition/switch1</command></member>
</simplelist>
<para>You can turn it off again by:</para>
<simplelist>
<member><command>echo 0 &gt;
/proc/net/nf_condition/switch1</command></member>
</simplelist>
<para>If you simply include the switch name in the SWITCH column, then the
rule is enabled only when the switch is <emphasis
role="bold">on</emphasis>. If you precede the switch name with ! (e.g.,
!switch1), then the rule is enabled only when the switch is <emphasis
role="bold">off</emphasis>. Switch settings are retained over
<command>shorewall reload</command>.</para>
<para>Shorewall requires that switch names:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>begin with a letter and be composed of letters, digits,
underscore ('_') or hyphen ('-'); and</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>be 30 characters or less in length.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Multiple rules can be controlled by the same switch.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<blockquote>
<para>Forward port 80 to dmz host $BACKUP if switch 'primary_down' is
on.</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT SPORT ORIGDEST RATE USER MARK CONNLIMIT TIME HEADERS SWITCH
DNAT net dmz:$BACKUP tcp 80 - - - - - - - - <emphasis
role="bold">primary_down</emphasis> </programlisting>
