DESCRIPTION

62       The shorewall6-lite utility is used to control the Shoreline Firewall 6
63       (Shorewall6) Lite.
64

OPTIONS

66       The trace and debug options are used for debugging. See
67       http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping.htm#Trace.
68
69       The nolock option prevents the command from attempting to acquire the
70       Shorewall6 Lite lockfile. It is useful if you need to include
71       shorewall6-lite commands in the started extension script.
72
73       The options control the amount of output that the command produces.
74       They consist of a sequence of the letters v and q. If the options are
75       omitted, the amount of output is determined by the setting of the
76       VERBOSITY parameter in shorewall6.conf[1](5). Each v adds one to the
77       effective verbosity and each q subtracts one from the effective
78       VERBOSITY. Anternately, v may be followed immediately with one of
79       -1,0,1,2 to specify a specify VERBOSITY. There may be no white space
80       between v and the VERBOSITY.
81
82       The options may also include the letter t which causes all progress
83       messages to be timestamped.
84

COMMANDS

86       The available commands are listed below.
87
88       allow
89           Re-enables receipt of packets from hosts previously blacklisted by
90           a drop, logdrop, reject, or logreject command.
91
92       clear
93           Clear will remove all rules and chains installed by Shorewall6
94           Lite. The firewall is then wide open and unprotected. Existing
95           connections are untouched. Clear is often used to see if the
96           firewall is causing connection problems.
97
98       drop
99           Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be silently dropped.
100
101       dump
102           Produces a verbose report about the firewall configuration for the
103           purpose of problem analysis.
104
105           The -x option causes actual packet and byte counts to be displayed.
106           Without that option, these counts are abbreviated. The -m option
107           causes any MAC addresses included in Shorewall6 Lite log messages
108           to be displayed.
109
110       forget
111           Deletes /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/filename and
112           /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/save. If no filename is given then the
113           file specified by RESTOREFILE in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5) is
114           assumed.
115
116       help
117           Displays a syntax summary.
118
119       hits
120           Generates several reports from Shorewall6 Lite log messages in the
121           current log file.
122
123       logdrop
124           Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be logged then
125           discarded.
126
127       logwatch
128           Monitors the log file specified by theLOGFILE option in
129           shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5) and produces an audible alarm when new
130           Shorewall6 Lite messages are logged. The -m option causes the MAC
131           address of each packet source to be displayed if that information
132           is available. The refresh-interval specifies the time in seconds
133           between screen refreshes. You can enter a negative number by
134           preceding the number with "--" (e.g., shorewall6-lite logwatch --
135           -30). In this case, when a packet count changes, you will be
136           prompted to hit any key to resume screen refreshes.
137
138       logreject
139           Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be logged then
140           rejected.
141
142       reset
143           All the packet and byte counters in the firewall are reset.
144
145       restart
146           Restart is similar to shorewall6-lite stop followed by
147           shorewall6-lite start. Existing connections are maintained.
148
149           The -n option causes Shorewall6 to avoid updating the routing
150           table(s).
151
152           The -p option causes the connection tracking table to be flushed;
153           the conntrack utility must be installed to use this option.
154
155       restore
156           Restore Shorewall6 Lite to a state saved using the shorewall6-lite
157           save command. Existing connections are maintained. The filename
158           names a restore file in /var/lib/shorewall6-lite created using
159           shorewall6-lite save; if no filename is given then Shorewall6 Lite
160           will be restored from the file specified by the RESTOREFILE option
161           in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5).
162
163       save
164           The dynamic blacklist is stored in /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/save.
165           The state of the firewall is stored in
166           /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/filename for use by the shorewall6-lite
167           restore and shorewall6-lite -f start commands. If filename is not
168           given then the state is saved in the file specified by the
169           RESTOREFILE option in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5).
170
171       show
172           The show command can have a number of different arguments:
173
174           actions
175               Produces a report about the available actions (built-in,
176               standard and user-defined).
177
178           capabilities
179               Displays your kernel/iptables capabilities. The -f option
180               causes the display to be formatted as a capabilities file for
181               use with compile -e.
182
183           [ [ chain ] chain ... ]
184               The rules in each chain are displayed using the ip6tables -L
185               chain -n -v command. If no chain is given, all of the chains in
186               the filter table are displayed. The -x option is passed
187               directly through to iptables and causes actual packet and byte
188               counts to be displayed. Without this option, those counts are
189               abbreviated. The -t option specifies the Netfilter table to
190               display. The default is filter.
191
192               If the t option and the chain keyword are both omitted and any
193               of the listed chains do not exist, a usage message will be
194               displayed.
195
196           classifiers
197               Displays information about the packet classifiers defined on
198               the system as a result of traffic shaping configuration.
199
200           config
201               Dispays distribution-specific defaults.
202
203           connections
204               Displays the IPv6 connections currently being tracked by the
205               firewall.
206
207           mangle
208               Displays the Netfilter mangle table using the command ip6tables
209               -t mangle -L -n -v.The -x option is passed directly through to
210               iptables and causes actual packet and byte counts to be
211               displayed. Without this option, those counts are abbreviated.
212
213           tc
214               Displays information about queuing disciplines, classes and
215               filters.
216
217           zones
218               Displays the current composition of the Shorewall6 Lite zones
219               on the system.
220
221       start
222           Start shorewall6 Lite. Existing connections through shorewall6-lite
223           managed interfaces are untouched. New connections will be allowed
224           only if they are allowed by the firewall rules or policies. If -f
225           is specified, the saved configuration specified by the RESTOREFILE
226           option in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5) will be restored if that saved
227           configuration exists and has been modified more recently than the
228           files in /etc/shorewall6.
229
230           The -n option causes Shorewall6 to avoid updating the routing
231           table(s).
232
233           The -p option causes the connection tracking table to be flushed;
234           the conntrack utility must be installed to use this option.
235
236       stop
237           Stops the firewall. All existing connections, except those listed
238           in shorewall6-routestopped[3](5) or permitted by the
239           ADMINISABSENTMINDED option in shorewall6.conf(5), are taken down.
240           The only new traffic permitted through the firewall is from systems
241           listed in shorewall6-routestopped[3](5) or by ADMINISABSENTMINDED.
242
243       status
244           Produces a short report about the state of the
245           Shorewall6-configured firewall.
246
247       version
248           Displays Shorewall6-lite's version.
