Name
rtrules — Shorewall6 Routing Rules file
Synopsis
/etc/shorewall6/rtrules
Description
Entries in this file cause traffic to be routed to one of the providers listed in shorewall6-providers(5).
The columns in the file are as follows.
- SOURCE (Optional) - {-|interface|address|interface:<address>}
An ip address (network or host) that matches the source IP address in a packet. May also be specified as an interface name optionally followed by ":" and an address. If the device lo is specified, the packet must originate from the firewall itself.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.0, you may specify &
interfacein this column to indicate that the source is the primary IP address of the named interface.Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.8, you may specify a comma-separated list of addresses in this column.
- DEST (Optional) - {-|address}
An ip address (network or host) that matches the destination IP address in a packet.
If you choose to omit either SOURCE or DEST, place "-" in that column. Note that you may not omit both SOURCE and DEST.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.8, you may specify a comma-separated list of addresses in this column.
- PROVIDER - {provider-name|provider-number|main}
The provider to route the traffic through. May be expressed either as the provider name or the provider number. May also be main or 254 for the main routing table. This can be used in combination with VPN tunnels, see example 2 below.
- PRIORITY - priority[!]
The rule's numeric priority which determines the order in which the rules are processed. Rules with equal priority are applied in the order in which they appear in the file.
- 1000-1999
Before Shorewall-generated 'MARK' rules
- 11000-11999
After 'MARK' rules but before Shorewall-generated rules for ISP interfaces.
- 26000-26999
After ISP interface rules but before 'default' rule.
Beginning with Shorewall 5.0.2, the priority may be followed optionally by an exclaimation mark ("!"). This causes the rule to remain in place if the interface is disabled.
Caution
Be careful when using rules of the same PRIORITY as some unexpected behavior can occur when multiple rules have the same SOURCE. For example, in the following rules, the second rule overwrites the first unless the priority in the second is changed to 19001 or higher:
2601:601:8b00:bf0::/64 2001:470:b:787::542 provider1 19000 2601:601:8b00:bf0::/64 - provider2 19000
- MARK -
{-|
mark[/mask]} Optional -- added in Shorewall 4.4.25. For this rule to be applied to a packet, the packet's mark value must match the
markwhen logically anded with themask. If amaskis not supplied, Shorewall supplies a suitable provider mask.
Examples
- Example 1:
You want all traffic coming in on eth1 to be routed to the ISP1 provider.
#SOURCE DEST PROVIDER PRIORITY MASK eth1 - ISP1 1000
