DESCRIPTION¶
This file is used to define zones in terms of subnets and/or
individual IP addresses. Most simple setups don't need to (should not) place
anything in this file.
The order of entries in this file is not significant in
determining zone composition. Rather, the order that the zones are declared
in shorewall-zones[1](5) determines the order in which the records in
this file are interpreted.
Warning
The only time that you need this file is when you have more than
one zone connected through a single interface.
Warning
If you have an entry for a zone and interface in
shorewall-interfaces[2](5) then do not include any entries in this
file for that same (zone, interface) pair.
The columns in the file are as follows.
ZONE - zone-name
The name of a zone declared in
shorewall-zones[1](5). You may not list the firewall zone in this
column.
HOST(S) -
interface:{[{address-or-range[,address-or-range]...|+ipset|dynamic}[exclusion]
The name of an interface defined in the
shorewall-interfaces[2](5) file followed by a colon (":") and
a comma-separated list whose elements are either:
1.The IP address of a host.
2.A network in CIDR format.
3.An IP address range of the form
low.address-high.address. Your kernel and iptables must have
iprange match support.
4.The name of an ipset.
5.The word dynamic which makes the zone dynamic
in that you can use the shorewall add and shorewall delete
commands to change to composition of the zone.
You may also exclude certain hosts through use of an
exclusion (see shorewall-exclusion[3](5).
OPTIONS (Optional) -
[option[,option]...]
A comma-separated list of options from the following
list. The order in which you list the options is not significant but the list
must have no embedded white-space.
blacklist
Check packets arriving on this port against the
shorewall-blacklist[4](5) file.
broadcast
Used when you want to include limited broadcasts
(destination IP address 255.255.255.255) from the firewall to this zone. Only
necessary when:
1.The network specified in the HOST(S) column does not
include 255.255.255.255.
2.The zone does not have an entry for this interface in
shorewall-interfaces[2](5).
destonly
Normally used with the Multi-cast IP address range
(224.0.0.0/4). Specifies that traffic will be sent to the specified net(s) but
that no traffic will be received from the net(s).
ipsec
The zone is accessed via a kernel 2.6 ipsec SA. Note that
if the zone named in the ZONE column is specified as an IPSEC zone in the
shorewall-zones[1](5) file then you do NOT need to specify the 'ipsec'
option here.
maclist
Connection requests from these hosts are compared against
the contents of shorewall-maclist[5](5). If this option is specified,
the interface must be an Ethernet NIC or equivalent and must be up before
Shorewall is started.
mss=mss
Added in Shorewall 4.5.2. When present, causes the TCP
mss for new connections to/from the hosts given in the HOST(S) column to be
clamped at the specified mss.
nosmurfs
This option only makes sense for ports on a bridge.
Filter packets for smurfs (packets with a broadcast address as the
source).
Smurfs will be optionally logged based on the setting of
SMURF_LOG_LEVEL in shorewall.conf[6](5). After logging, the packets
are dropped.
routeback
Shorewall should set up the infrastructure to pass
packets from this/these address(es) back to themselves. This is necessary if
hosts in this group use the services of a transparent proxy that is a member
of the group or if DNAT is used to send requests originating from this group
to a server in the group.
tcpflags
Packets arriving from these hosts are checked for certain
illegal combinations of TCP flags. Packets found to have such a combination of
flags are handled according to the setting of TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION after
having been logged according to the setting of TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL.
