.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \f[C]server\f[] subcommand defines a server of a service on an
\f[C]interface\f[] or \f[C]router\f[].
Any \f[I]rule\-params\f[] given to a parent interface or router are
inherited by the server.
.PP
For FireHOL a server is the destination of a request.
Even though this is more complex for some multi\-socket services, to
FireHOL a server always accepts requests.
.PP
The \f[C]route\f[] subcommand is an alias for \f[C]server\f[] which may
only be used in routers.
.PP
The \f[I]service\f[] parameter is one of the supported service names
from firehol\-services(5).
Multiple services may be specified, space delimited in quotes.
.PP
The \f[I]action\f[] can be any of the actions listed in
firehol\-actions(5).
.PP
The \f[I]rule\-params\f[] define a set of rule parameters to further
restrict the traffic that is matched to this service.
See firehol\-params(5) for more details.

\f[B]Note\f[]
.PP
Writing \f[C]server4\f[] is equivalent to writing \f[C]ipv4\ server\f[]
and ensures this subcommand is applied only in the IPv4 firewall rules.
.PP
Writing \f[C]server6\f[] is equivalent to writing \f[C]ipv6\ server\f[]
and ensures this subcommand is applied only in the IPv6 firewall rules.
.PP
Writing \f[C]server46\f[] is equivalent to writing \f[C]both\ server\f[]
and ensures this subcommand is applied in both the IPv4 and IPv6
firewall rules; it cannot be used as part an interface or router that is
IPv4 or IPv6 only.
.PP
The default \f[C]server\f[] inherits its behaviour from the enclosing
interface or router.
.PP
The same rules apply to the variations of \f[C]route\f[].
