NAME¶

firehol-group - group commands with common options

SYNOPSIS¶

group with rule-params

group end

DESCRIPTION¶

The group command allows you to group together multiple client and server commands.

Grouping commands with common options (see firehol-params(5)) allows the option values to be checked only once in the generated firewall rather than once per service, making it more efficient.

Nested groups may be used.

EXAMPLES¶

This:

interface any world


  client all accept


  server http accept


  # Provide these services to trusted hosts only


  server "ssh telnet" accept src "192.0.2.1 192.0.2.2"
    

can be replaced to produce a more efficient firewall by this:

interface any world


  client all accept


  server http accept


  # Provide these services to trusted hosts only


  group with src "192.0.2.1 192.0.2.2"


    server telnet accept


    server ssh accept


  group end
