DESCRIPTION

9       With the rich language more complex firewall rules can be created in an
10       easy to understand way. The language uses keywords with values and is
11       an abstract representation of ip*tables rules.
12
13       The rich language extends the current zone elements (service, port,
14       icmp-block, icmp-type, masquerade, forward-port and source-port) with
15       additional source and destination addresses, logging, actions and
16       limits for logs and actions.
17
18       This page describes the rich language used in the command line client
19       and D-Bus interface. For information about the rich language
20       representation used in the zone configuration files, please have a look
21       at firewalld.zone(5).
22
23       A rule is part of a zone. One zone can contain several rules. If some
24       rules interact/contradict, the first rule that matches "wins".
25
26       General rule structure
27
28           rule
29             [source]
30             [destination]
31             service|port|protocol|icmp-block|icmp-type|masquerade|forward-port|source-port
32             [log]
33             [audit]
34             [accept|reject|drop|mark]
35
36
37       The complete rule is provided as a single line string. A destination is
38       allowed here as long as it does not conflict with the destination of a
39       service.
40
41       Rule structure for source black or white listing
42
43           rule
44             source
45             [log]
46             [audit]
47             accept|reject|drop|mark
48
49
50       This is used to grant or limit access from a source to this machine or
51       machines that are reachable by this machine. A destination is not
52       allowed here.
53
54       Important information about element options: Options for elements in a
55       rule need to be added exactly after the element. If the option is
56       placed somewhere else it might be used for another element as far as it
57       matches the options of the other element or will result in a rule
58       error.
59
60   Rule
61           rule [family="ipv4|ipv6"]
62
63
64       If the rule family is provided, it can be either "ipv4" or "ipv6",
65       which limits the rule to IPv4 or IPv6. If the rule family is not
66       provided, the rule will be added for IPv4 and IPv6. If source or
67       destination addresses are used in a rule, then the rule family need to
68       be provided. This is also the case for port/packet forwarding.
69
70   Source
71           source [not] address="address[/mask]"|mac="mac-address"|ipset="ipset"
72
73
74       With the source address the origin of a connection attempt can be
75       limited to the source address. An address is either a single IP
76       address, or a network IP address, a MAC address or an IPSet. The
77       address has to match the rule family (IPv4/IPv6). Subnet mask is
78       expressed in either dot-decimal (/x.x.x.x) or prefix (/x) notations for
79       IPv4, and in prefix notation (/x) for IPv6 network addresses. It is
80       possible to invert the sense of an address by adding not before
81       address. All but the specified address will match then.
82
83   Destination
84           destination [not] address="address[/mask]"
85
86
87       With the destination address the target can be limited to the
88       destination address. The destination address is using the same syntax
89       as the source address.
90
91       The use of source and destination addresses is optional and the use of
92       a destination addresses is not possible with all elements. This depends
93       on the use of destination addresses for example in service entries.
94
95   Service
96           service name="service name"
97
98
99       The service service name will be added to the rule. The service name is
100       one of the firewalld provided services. To get a list of the supported
101       services, use firewall-cmd --get-services.
102
103       If a service provides a destination address, it will conflict with a
104       destination address in the rule and will result in an error. The
105       services using destination addresses internally are mostly services
106       using multicast.
107
108   Port
109           port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp"
110
111
112       The port port value can either be a single port number portid or a port
113       range portid-portid. The protocol can either be tcp or udp.
114
115   Protocol
116           protocol value="protocol value"
117
118
119       The protocol value can be either a protocol id number or a protocol
120       name. For allowed protocol entries, please have a look at
121       /etc/protocols.
122
123   ICMP-Block
124           icmp-block name="icmptype name"
125
126
127       The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports. To get a
128       listing of supported icmp types: firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
129
130       It is not allowed to specify an action here. icmp-block uses the action
131       reject internally.
132
133   Masquerade
134           masquerade
135
136
137       Turn on masquerading in the rule. A source and also a destination
138       address can be provided to limit masquerading to this area.
139
140       It is not allowed to specify an action here.
141
142       Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled.
143
144   ICMP-Type
145           icmp-type name="icmptype name"
146
147
148       The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports. To get a
149       listing of supported icmp types: firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
150
151   Forward-Port
152           forward-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp" to-port="port value" to-addr="address"
153
154
155       Forward port/packets from local port value with protocol "tcp" or "udp"
156       to either another port locally or to another machine or to another port
157       on another machine.
158
159       The port value can either be a single port number or a port range
160       portid-portid. The to-addr is an IP address.
161
162       It is not allowed to specify an action here. forward-port uses the
163       action accept internally.
164
165       Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled if to-addr is specified.
166
167   Source-Port
168           source-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp"
169
170
171       The source-port port value can either be a single port number portid or
172       a port range portid-portid. The protocol can either be tcp or udp.
173
174   Log
175           log [prefix="prefix text"] [level="log level"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
176
177
178       Log new connection attempts to the rule with kernel logging for example
179       in syslog. You can define a prefix text that will be added to the log
180       message as a prefix. Log level can be one of "emerg", "alert", "crit",
181       "error", "warning", "notice", "info" or "debug", where default (i.e. if
182       there's no one specified) is "warning". See syslog(3) for description
183       of levels. See Limit section for description of limit tag.
184
185   Audit
186           audit [limit value="rate/duration"]
187
188
189       Audit provides an alternative way for logging using audit records sent
190       to the service auditd. Audit type will be discovered from the rule
191       action automatically. Use of audit is optional. See Limit section for
192       description of limit tag.
193
194   Action
195       An action can be one of accept, reject, drop or mark.
196
197       The rule can either contain an element or also a source only. If the
198       rule contains an element, then new connection matching the element will
199       be handled with the action. If the rule does not contain an element,
200       then everything from the source address will be handled with the
201       action.
202
203           accept [limit value="rate/duration"]
204
205
206           reject [type="reject type"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
207
208
209           drop [limit value="rate/duration"]
210
211
212           mark set="mark[/mask]" [limit value="rate/duration"]
213
214
215       With accept all new connection attempts will be granted. With reject
216       they will not be accepted and their source will get a reject ICMP(v6)
217       message. The reject type can be set to specify appropriate ICMP(v6)
218       error message. For valid reject types see --reject-with type in
219       iptables-extensions(8) man page. Because reject types are different for
220       IPv4 and IPv6 you have to specify rule family when using reject type.
221       With drop all packets will be dropped immediately, there is no
222       information sent to the source. With mark all packets will be marked in
223       the PREROUTING chain in the mangle table with the mark and mask
224       combination. See Limit section for description of limit tag.
225
226   Limit
227           limit value="rate/duration"
228
229
230       It is possible to limit Log, Audit and Action. A rule using this tag
231       will match until this limit is reached. The rate is a natural positive
232       number [1, ..] The duration is of "s", "m", "h", "d". "s" means
233       seconds, "m" minutes, "h" hours and "d" days. Maximum limit value is
234       "2/d", which means at maximum two matches per day.
235
236   Information about logging and actions
237       Logging can be done with the log and also with audit. A new chain is
238       added to all zones: zone_log. This will be jumped into before the deny
239       chain to be able to have a proper ordering.
240
241       The rules or parts of them are placed in separate chains according to
242       the action of the rule:
243
244           zone_log
245           zone_deny
246           zone_allow
247
248
249       Then all logging rules will be placed in the zone_log chain, which will
250       be walked first. All reject and drop rules will be placed in the
251       zone_deny chain, which will be walked after the log chain. All accept
252       rules will be placed in the zone_allow chain, which will be walked
253       after the deny chain. If a rule contains log and also deny or allow
254       actions, the parts are placed in the matching chains.

EXAMPLES

257       These are examples of how to specify rich language rules. This format
258       (i.e. one string that specifies whole rule) uses for example
259       firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule (see firewall-cmd(1)) as well as D-Bus
260       interface.
261
262   Example 1
263       Enable new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for protocol 'ah'
264
265           rule protocol value="ah" accept
266
267
268
269   Example 2
270       Allow new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for service ftp and log 1 per
271       minute using audit
272
273           rule service name="ftp" log limit value="1/m" audit accept
274
275
276
277   Example 3
278       Allow new IPv4 connections from address 192.168.0.0/24 for service tftp
279       and log 1 per minutes using syslog
280
281           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.0.0/24" service name="tftp" log prefix="tftp" level="info" limit value="1/m" accept
282
283
284
285   Example 4
286       New IPv6 connections from 1:2:3:4:6:: to service radius are all
287       rejected and logged at a rate of 3 per minute. New IPv6 connections
288       from other sources are accepted.
289
290           rule family="ipv6" source address="1:2:3:4:6::" service name="radius" log prefix="dns" level="info" limit value="3/m" reject
291           rule family="ipv6" service name="radius" accept
292
293
294
295   Example 5
296       Forward IPv6 port/packets receiving from 1:2:3:4:6:: on port 4011 with
297       protocol tcp to 1::2:3:4:7 on port 4012
298
299           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"
300
301
302
303   Example 6
304       White-list source address to allow all connections from 192.168.2.2
305
306           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.2" accept
307
308
309
310   Example 7
311       Black-list source address to reject all connections from 192.168.2.3
312
313           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.3" reject type="icmp-admin-prohibited"
314
315
316
317   Example 8
318       Black-list source address to drop all connections from 192.168.2.4
319
320           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.4" drop
