NAME¶
firewalld.zone - firewalld zone configuration files
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/firewalld/zones/zone.xml
/usr/lib/firewalld/zones/zone.xml
DESCRIPTION¶
A firewalld zone configuration file contains the information for a zone. These are the zone description, services, ports, protocols, icmp-blocks, masquerade, forward-ports, intra-zone forwarding and rich language rules in an XML file format. The file name has to be zone_name.xml where length of zone_name is currently limited to 17 chars.
This is the structure of a zone configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <zone [version="versionstring"] [target="ACCEPT|%%REJECT%%|DROP"] [ingress-priority="priority"] [egress-priority="priority"]>
[ <interface name="string"/> ]

The config can contain these tags and attributes. Some of them are mandatory, others optional.
zone¶
The mandatory zone start and end tag defines the zone. This tag can only be used once in a zone configuration file. There are optional attributes for zones:
version="string"
target="ACCEPT|%%REJECT%%|DROP"
ingress-priority="priority"
egress-priority="priority"
interface¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times. It can be used to bind an interface to a zone. You don't need this for NetworkManager-managed interfaces, because NetworkManager binds interfaces to zones automatically. See also 'How to set or change a zone for a connection?' in firewalld.zones(5). You can use it as a fallback mechanism for interfaces that can't be managed via NetworkManager. An interface entry has exactly one attribute:
name="string"
source¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times. It can be used to bind a source address, address range, a MAC address or an ipset to a zone. A source entry has exactly one of these attributes:
address="address[/mask]"
mac="MAC"
ipset="ipset"
icmp-block-inversion¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used only once in a zone configuration. This flag inverts the icmp block handling. Only enabled ICMP types are accepted and all others are rejected in the zone.
forward¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used only once in a zone configuration. This flag enables intra-zone forwarding. When enabled, packets will be forwarded between interfaces or sources within a zone, even if the zone's target is not set to ACCEPT.
short¶
Is an optional start and end tag and is used to give a more readable name.
description¶
Is an optional start and end tag to have a description.
service¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have more than one service entry enabled. A service entry has exactly one attribute:
name="string"
port¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have more than one port entry. All attributes of a port entry are mandatory:
port="portid[-portid]"
protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"
protocol¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have more than one protocol entry. All protocol has exactly one attribute:
value="string"
icmp-block¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have more than one icmp-block entry. Each icmp-block tag has exactly one mandatory attribute:
name="string"
masquerade¶
Is an optional empty-element tag. It can be used only once. If it's present masquerading is enabled.
forward-port¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have more than one port or packet forward entry. There are mandatory and also optional attributes for forward ports:
Mandatory attributes:
The local port and protocol to be forwarded.
port="portid[-portid]"
protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"
Optional attributes:
The destination of the forward. For local forwarding add to-port only. For remote forwarding add to-addr and use to-port optionally if the destination port on the destination machine should be different.
to-port="portid[-portid]"
to-addr="address"
source-port¶
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have more than one source port entry. All attributes of a source port entry are mandatory:
port="portid[-portid]"
protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"
rule¶
Is an optional element tag and can be used several times to have more than one rich language rule entry.
The general rule structure:
<rule [family="ipv4|ipv6"] [priority="priority"]>
[ <source address="address[/mask]"|mac="MAC"|ipset="ipset" [invert="True"]/> ]
[ <destination address="address[/mask]"|ipset="ipset" [invert="True"]/> ]
[
<service name="string"/> |
<port port="portid[-portid]" protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"/> |
<protocol value="protocol"/> |
<icmp-block name="icmptype"/> |
<icmp-type name="icmptype"/> |
<masquerade/> |
<forward-port port="portid[-portid]" protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp" [to-port="portid[-portid]"] [to-addr="address"]/> |
<source-port port="portid[-portid]" protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"/> |

<drop> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </drop> |
<mark set="mark[/mask]"> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </mark>
] </rule>
Rule structure for source black or white listing:
<rule [family="ipv4|ipv6"] [priority="priority"]>
<source address="address[/mask]"|mac="MAC"|ipset="ipset" [invert="True"]/>
[
<log [prefix="prefix text"] [level="emerg|alert|crit|err|warn|notice|info|debug"]> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </log> |
<nflog [group="group id"] [prefix="prefix text"] [queue-size="threshold"]> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </nflog>

[ <audit> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </audit> ]
<accept> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </accept> |
<reject [type="rejecttype"]> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </reject> |
<drop> [<limit value="rate/duration"/>] </drop> </rule>
