.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This file is used to define zones in terms of subnets and/or individual IP addresses\&. Most simple setups don\*(Aqt need to (should not) place anything in this file\&.
.PP
The order of entries in this file is not significant in determining zone composition\&. Rather, the order that the zones are declared in
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-zones\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2(5) determines the order in which the records in this file are interpreted\&.

The only time that you need this file is when you have more than one zone connected through a single interface\&.

If you have an entry for a zone and interface in
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-interfaces\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+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\&.
.PP
\fBZONE\fR \- \fIzone\-name\fR
.RS 4
The name of a zone declared in
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-zones\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2(5)\&. You may not list the firewall zone in this column\&.
.RE

.RS 4
The name of an interface defined in the
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-interfaces\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2(5) file followed by a colon (":") and a comma\-separated list whose elements are either:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 1.\h'+01'\c

.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP "  1." 4.2

.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 3.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP "  3." 4.2

An IP address range of the form
\fIlow\&.address\fR\-\fIhigh\&.address\fR\&. Your kernel and iptables must have iprange match support\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 4.\h'+01'\c

.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 5.\h'+01'\c

.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP "  5." 4.2

The word
\fBdynamic\fR
which makes the zone dynamic in that you can use the
\fBshorewall add\fR
and
\fBshorewall delete\fR
commands to change to composition of the zone\&.
.RE
.sp
You may also exclude certain hosts through use of an
\fIexclusion\fR
(see
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-exclusion\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[3]\d\s+2(5)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBOPTIONS\fR (Optional) \- [\fIoption\fR[\fB,\fR\fIoption\fR]\&.\&.\&.]
.RS 4
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\&.
.PP
\fBblacklist\fR
.RS 4
Check packets arriving on this port against the
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-blacklist\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[4]\d\s+2(5) file\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBbroadcast\fR
.RS 4
Used when you want to include limited broadcasts (destination IP address 255\&.255\&.255\&.255) from the firewall to this zone\&. Only necessary when:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 1.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP "  1." 4.2
.\}
The network specified in the HOST(S) column does not include 255\&.255\&.255\&.255\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 2.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP "  2." 4.2
.\}
The zone does not have an entry for this interface in
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-interfaces\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2(5)\&.
.RE
.RE
.PP
\fBdestonly\fR
.RS 4
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)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBipsec\fR
.RS 4
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
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-zones\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2(5) file then you do NOT need to specify the \*(Aqipsec\*(Aq option here\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBmaclist\fR
.RS 4
Connection requests from these hosts are compared against the contents of
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\-maclist\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[5]\d\s+2(5)\&. If this option is specified, the interface must be an ethernet NIC or equivalent and must be up before Shorewall is started\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBmss\fR=\fImss\fR
.RS 4
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
\fImss\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBnosmurfs\fR
.RS 4
This option only makes sense for ports on a bridge\&.
.sp
Filter packets for smurfs (packets with a broadcast address as the source)\&.
.sp
Smurfs will be optionally logged based on the setting of SMURF_LOG_LEVEL in
\m[blue]\fBshorewall\&.conf\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[6]\d\s+2(5)\&. After logging, the packets are dropped\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBrouteback\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBtcpflags\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Example 1
.RS 4
The firewall runs a PPTP server which creates a ppp interface for each remote client\&. The clients are assigned IP addresses in the network 192\&.168\&.3\&.0/24 and in a zone named \*(Aqvpn\*(Aq\&.
