The language uses keywords with values and is an abstract representation of ip*tables rules\&. .PP The rich language extends the current zone elements (service, port, icmp\-block, icmp\-type, masquerade, forward\-port and source\-port) with additional source and destination addresses, logging, actions and limits for logs and actions\&. .PP This page describes the rich language used in the command line client and D\-Bus interface\&. For information about the rich language representation used in the zone configuration files, please have a look at \fBfirewalld.zone\fR(5)\&. .PP A rule is part of a zone\&. One zone can contain several rules\&. If some rules interact/contradict, the first rule that matches "wins"\&. .PP \fBGeneral rule structure\fR .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule [source] [destination] service|port|protocol|icmp\-block|icmp\-type|masquerade|forward\-port|source\-port [log] [audit] [accept|reject|drop|mark] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp The complete rule is provided as a single line string\&. A destination is allowed here as long as it does not conflict with the destination of a service\&. .PP \fBRule structure for source black or white listing\fR .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule source [log] [audit] accept|reject|drop|mark .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp This is used to grant or limit access from a source to this machine or machines that are reachable by this machine\&. A destination is not allowed here\&. .PP \fBImportant information about element options:\fR Options for elements in a rule need to be added exactly after the element\&. If the option is placed somewhere else it might be used for another element as far as it matches the options of the other element or will result in a rule error\&. .SS "Rule" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule [family="ipv4|ipv6"] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp If the rule family is provided, it can be either "ipv4" or "ipv6", which limits the rule to IPv4 or IPv6\&. If the rule family is not provided, the rule will be added for IPv4 and IPv6\&. If source or destination addresses are used in a rule, then the rule family need to be provided\&. This is also the case for port/packet forwarding\&. .SS "Source" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf source [not] address="address[/mask]"|mac="mac\-address"|ipset="ipset" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp With the source address the origin of a connection attempt can be limited to the source address\&. An address is either a single IP address, or a network IP address, a MAC address or an IPSet\&. The address has to match the rule family (IPv4/IPv6)\&. Subnet mask is expressed in either dot\-decimal (/x\&.x\&.x\&.x) or prefix (/x) notations for IPv4, and in prefix notation (/x) for IPv6 network addresses\&. It is possible to invert the sense of an address by adding \fBnot\fR before \fBaddress\fR\&. All but the specified address will match then\&. .SS "Destination" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf destination [not] address="address[/mask]" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp With the destination address the target can be limited to the destination address\&. The destination address is using the same syntax as the source address\&. .PP The use of source and destination addresses is optional and the use of a destination addresses is not possible with all elements\&. This depends on the use of destination addresses for example in service entries\&. .SS "Service" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf service name="service name" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP The service \fIservice name\fR will be added to the rule\&. The service name is one of the firewalld provided services\&. To get a list of the supported services, use \fBfirewall\-cmd \-\-get\-services\fR\&. .PP If a service provides a destination address, it will conflict with a destination address in the rule and will result in an error\&. The services using destination addresses internally are mostly services using multicast\&. .SS "Port" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP The port \fIport value\fR can either be a single port number \fIportid\fR or a port range \fIportid\fR\-\fIportid\fR\&. The protocol can either be \fItcp\fR or \fIudp\fR\&. .SS "Protocol" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf protocol value="protocol value" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP The protocol value can be either a protocol id number or a protocol name\&. For allowed protocol entries, please have a look at \fI/etc/protocols\fR\&. .SS "ICMP\-Block" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf icmp\-block name="icmptype name" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports\&. To get a listing of supported icmp types: \fBfirewall\-cmd \-\-get\-icmptypes\fR .PP It is not allowed to specify an action here\&. icmp\-block uses the action reject internally\&. .SS "Masquerade" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf masquerade .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP Turn on masquerading in the rule\&. A source and also a destination address can be provided to limit masquerading to this area\&. .PP It is not allowed to specify an action here\&. .SS "ICMP\-Type" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf icmp\-type name="icmptype name" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports\&. To get a listing of supported icmp types: \fBfirewall\-cmd \-\-get\-icmptypes\fR .SS "Forward\-Port" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf forward\-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp" to\-port="port value" to\-addr="address" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP Forward port/packets from local port value with protocol "tcp" or "udp" to either another port locally or to another machine or to another port on another machine\&. .PP The port value can either be a single port number or a port range \fIportid\-portid\fR\&. The \fBto\-addr\fR is an IP address\&. .PP It is not allowed to specify an action here\&. forward\-port uses the action accept internally\&. .SS "Source\-Port" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf source\-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP The source\-port \fIport value\fR can either be a single port number \fIportid\fR or a port range \fIportid\fR\-\fIportid\fR\&. The protocol can either be \fItcp\fR or \fIudp\fR\&. .SS "Log" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf log [prefix="prefix text"] [level="log level"] [limit value="rate/duration"] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP Log new connection attempts to the rule with kernel logging for example in syslog\&. You can define a prefix text that will be added to the log message as a prefix\&. Log level can be one of "\fBemerg\fR", "\fBalert\fR", "\fBcrit\fR", "\fBerror\fR", "\fBwarning\fR", "\fBnotice\fR", "\fBinfo\fR" or "\fBdebug\fR", where default (i\&.e\&. if there\*(Aqs no one specified) is "\fBwarning\fR"\&. See \fBsyslog\fR(3) for description of levels\&. See Limit section for description of \fBlimit\fR tag\&. .SS "Audit" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf audit [limit value="rate/duration"] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP Audit provides an alternative way for logging using audit records sent to the service auditd\&. Audit type will be discovered from the rule action automatically\&. Use of audit is optional\&. See Limit section for description of \fBlimit\fR tag\&. .SS "Action" .PP An action can be one of \fBaccept\fR, \fBreject\fR, \fBdrop\fR or \fBmark\fR\&. .PP The rule can either contain an element or also a source only\&. If the rule contains an element, then new connection matching the element will be handled with the action\&. If the rule does not contain an element, then everything from the source address will be handled with the action\&. .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf accept [limit value="rate/duration"] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf reject [type="reject type"] [limit value="rate/duration"] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf drop [limit value="rate/duration"] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf mark set="mark[/mask]" [limit value="rate/duration"] .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP With \fBaccept\fR all new connection attempts will be granted\&. With \fBreject\fR they will not be accepted and their source will get a reject ICMP(v6) message\&. The reject type can be set to specify appropriate ICMP(v6) error message\&. For valid reject types see \fB\-\-reject\-with type\fR in \fBiptables-extensions\fR(8) man page\&. Because reject types are different for IPv4 and IPv6 you have to specify rule family when using reject type\&. With \fBdrop\fR all packets will be dropped immediately, there is no information sent to the source\&. With \fBmark\fR all packets will be marked in the \fBPREROUTING\fR chain in the \fBmangle\fR table with the mark and mask combination\&. See Limit section for description of \fBlimit\fR tag\&. .SS "Limit" .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf limit value="rate/duration" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP It is possible to limit Log, Audit and Action\&. A rule using this tag will match until this limit is reached\&. The rate is a natural positive number [1, \&.\&.] The duration is of "s", "m", "h", "d"\&. "s" means seconds, "m" minutes, "h" hours and "d" days\&. Maximum limit value is "2/d", which means at maximum two matches per day\&. .SS "Information about logging and actions" .PP Logging can be done with the log and also with audit\&. A new chain is added to all zones: zone_log\&. This will be jumped into before the deny chain to be able to have a proper ordering\&. .PP The rules or parts of them are placed in separate chains according to the action of the rule: .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf \fIzone\fR_log \fIzone\fR_deny \fIzone\fR_allow .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP Then all logging rules will be placed in the zone_log chain, which will be walked first\&. All reject and drop rules will be placed in the zone_deny chain, which will be walked after the log chain\&. All accept rules will be placed in the zone_allow chain, which will be walked after the deny chain\&. If a rule contains log and also deny or allow actions, the parts are placed in the matching chains\&. .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP These are examples of how to specify rich language rules\&. This format (i\&.e\&. one string that specifies whole rule) uses for example \fBfirewall\-cmd \-\-add\-rich\-rule\fR (see \fBfirewall-cmd\fR(1)) as well as D\-Bus interface\&. .SS "Example 1" .PP Enable new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for protocol \*(Aqah\*(Aq .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule protocol value="ah" accept .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SS "Example 2" .PP Allow new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for service ftp and log 1 per minute using audit .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule service name="ftp" log limit value="1/m" audit accept .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SS "Example 3" .PP Allow new IPv4 connections from address 192\&.168\&.0\&.0/24 for service tftp and log 1 per minutes using syslog .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule family="ipv4" source address="192\&.168\&.0\&.0/24" service name="tftp" log prefix="tftp" level="info" limit value="1/m" accept .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SS "Example 4" .PP New IPv6 connections from 1:2:3:4:6:: to service radius are all rejected and logged at a rate of 3 per minute\&. New IPv6 connections from other sources are accepted\&. .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule family="ipv6" source address="1:2:3:4:6::" service name="radius" log prefix="dns" level="info" limit value="3/m" reject rule family="ipv6" service name="radius" accept .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SS "Example 5" .PP Forward IPv6 port/packets receiving from 1:2:3:4:6:: on port 4011 with protocol tcp to 1::2:3:4:7 on port 4012 .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule family="ipv6" source address="1:2:3:4:6::" forward\-port to\-addr="1::2:3:4:7" to\-port="4012" protocol="tcp" port="4011" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SS "Example 6" .PP White\-list source address to allow all connections from 192\&.168\&.2\&.2 .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule family="ipv4" source address="192\&.168\&.2\&.2" accept .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SS "Example 7" .PP Black\-list source address to reject all connections from 192\&.168\&.2\&.3 .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule family="ipv4" source address="192\&.168\&.2\&.3" reject type="icmp\-admin\-prohibited" .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SS "Example 8" .PP Black\-list source address to drop all connections from 192\&.168\&.2\&.4 .PP .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf rule family="ipv4" source address="192\&.168\&.2\&.4" drop .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SH "SEE ALSO" \fBfirewall-applet\fR(1), \fBfirewalld\fR(1), \fBfirewall-cmd\fR(1), \fBfirewall-config\fR(1), \fBfirewalld.conf\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.direct\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.dbus\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.icmptype\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.lockdown-whitelist\fR(5), \fBfirewall-offline-cmd\fR(1), \fBfirewalld.richlanguage\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.service\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.zone\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.zones\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.ipset\fR(5), \fBfirewalld.helper\fR(5) .SH "NOTES" .PP firewalld home page: .RS 4 \m[blue]\fB\%http://firewalld.org\fR\m[] .RE .PP More documentation with examples: .RS 4 \m[blue]\fB\%http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD\fR\m[] .RE .SH "AUTHORS" .PP \fBThomas Woerner\fR <\&twoerner@redhat\&.com\&> .RS 4 Developer .RE .PP \fBJiri Popelka\fR <\&jpopelka@redhat\&.com\&> .RS 4 Developer .RE
