<title>What are Shorewall Actions?</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall actions allow a symbolic name to be associated with a
|
|
series of one or more iptables rules. The symbolic name may appear in the
|
|
ACTION column of an <filename><ulink
|
|
url="manpages/shorewall-rules.html">/etc/shorewall/rules</ulink></filename>
|
|
entry, in a <ulink url="Macros.html">macro</ulink> body and within another
|
|
action, in which case the traffic matching that rules file entry will be
|
|
passed to the series of iptables rules named by the action.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Actions can be thought of as templates. When an action is invoked in
|
|
an <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> entry, it may be qualified by
|
|
a logging specification (log level and optionally a log tag). The presence
|
|
of the log level/tag causes a modified series of rules to be generated in
|
|
which each packet/rule match within the action causes a log message to be
|
|
generated.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For readers familiar with iptables, actions are the way in which you
|
|
can create your own filter-table chains.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are three types of Shorewall actions:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Built-in Actions. These actions are known by the Shorewall code
|
|
itself. They are listed in the comments at the top of the file
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename>.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Standard Actions. These actions are released as part of
|
|
Shorewall. They are listed in the file
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename> and are defined
|
|
in the corresponding action.* files in <filename
|
|
class="directory">/usr/share/shorewall</filename>. Each
|
|
<filename>action.*</filename> file has a comment at the beginning of
|
|
the file that describes what the action does. As an example, here is
|
|
the definition of the <firstterm>AllowSMB</firstterm> standard action
|
|
from Shorewall version 2.2.</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#
|
|
# Shorewall 2.2 /usr/share/shorewall/action.AllowSMB
|
|
#
|
|
# Allow Microsoft SMB traffic. You need to invoke this action in
|
|
# both directions.

<title>Default Actions (Formerly Common Actions)</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall allows the association of a <firstterm>default
|
|
action</firstterm> with policies. A separate default action may be
|
|
associated with ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, QUEUE and NFQUEUE policies. Default
|
|
actions provide a way to invoke a set of common rules just before the
|
|
policy is enforced. Default actions accomplish two goals:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Relieve log congestion. Default actions typically include rules
|

to silently drop or reject traffic that would otherwise be logged when
|

the policy is enforced.</para>

<para>Ensure correct operation.</para>

</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall supports default actions for the ACCEPT, REJECT, DROP,
|
|
QUEUE and NFQUEUE policies. These default actions are specified in the
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> file using the
|
|
ACCEPT_DEFAULT, REJECT_DEFAULT, DROP_DEFAULT, QUEUE_DEFAULT and
|
|
NFQUEUE_DEFAULT options respectively. Policies whose default is set to a
|
|
value of <quote>none</quote> have no default action.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In addition, the default specified in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> may be overridden by
|
|
specifying a different action in the POLICY column of <filename><ulink

url="manpages/shorewall-policy.html">/etc/shorewall/policy</ulink></filename>.</para>

underscore characters) as well as valid Netfilter chain names. If you

intend to log from the action, the name must have a maximum of 11

action begins with a capital letter; that way, the name won't conflict

<para>Normally. the rules in an action are placed in a separate chain.

<title>Shorewall 5.0.0 and Later.</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>In Shorewall 5.0, the columns in action.template are the same as
|
|
those in shorewall-rules (5). There are no restrictions regarding which
|
|
targets can be used within your action.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The SOURCE and DEST columns in the action file may not include
|
|
zone names; those are given when the action is invoked.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Additionally, it is possible to pass parameters to an action, when
|
|
it is invoked in the rules file or in another action.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Here's a trivial example:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>/etc/shorewall/action.A:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#TARGET SOURCE DEST PROTO Dport SPORT ORIGDEST
|
|
$1 - - tcp 80 - 1.2.3.4</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>/etc/shorewall/rules:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#TARGET SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT SPORT ORIGDEST
|
|
|
|
A(REDIRECT) net fw</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>The above is equivalent to this rule:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#TARGET SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT SPORT ORIGDEST
|
|
REDIRECT net - tcp 80 - 1.2.3.4</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can 'omit' parameters by using '-'.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example: ACTION(REDIRECT,-,info)</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In the above example, $2 would expand to nothing.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.13, completely omitting a arameter is
|
|
equivalent to passing '-'.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example: ACTION(REDIRECT,,info)</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This example behaves the same as the one shown above.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you refer to a parameter $n in the body of the action, then the
|
|
nth paramer must either be passed to all action invocations or it's
|
|
default value must be established via a DEFAULTS line.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you want to make '-' a parameter value, use '--' (e.g.,
|
|
ACTION(REDIRECT,--.info)).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.21, you can specify the default
|
|
values of your FORMAT-2 actions:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>DEFAULTS <replaceable>def1</replaceable>,<replaceable>def2</replaceable>,...</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>where <replaceable>def1</replaceable> is the default value for the
|
|
first parameter, <replaceable>def2</replaceable> is the default value
|
|
for the second parameter and so on. You can specify an empty default
|
|
using '-' (e.g. DEFAULTS DROP,-,audit).</para>

<ulink

url="manpages6/shorewall6-mangle.html">shorewall6-mangle(5)</ulink>.
|
|
Because the rules and mangle files have different column layouts,
|
|
actions can be defined to be used in one file or the other but not in
|
|
both. To designate an action to be used in the mangle file, specify the
|
|
<option>mangle</option> option in the action's entry in <ulink

For those who are comfortable using Perl, embedded Perl is more efficient

an expression is evaluated in an ?IF, ?ELSEIF or ?SET directive.</para>
