NAME

6       firewalld.richlanguage - Rich Language Documentation
7

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"] [priority="priority"]
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       If the rule priority is provided, it can be in the range of -32768 to
71       32767 where lower values have higher precendence. Rich rules are sorted
72       by priority. Ordering for rules with the same priority value is
73       undefined. A negative priority value will be executed before other
74       firewalld primitives. A positive priority value will be executed after
75       other firewalld primitives. A priority value of 0 will place the rule
76       in a chain based on the action as per the "Information about logging
77       and actions" below.
78
79   Source
80           source [not] address="address[/mask]"|mac="mac-address"|ipset="ipset"
81
82
83       With the source address the origin of a connection attempt can be
84       limited to the source address. An address is either a single IP
85       address, or a network IP address, a MAC address or an IPSet. The
86       address has to match the rule family (IPv4/IPv6). Subnet mask is
87       expressed in either dot-decimal (/x.x.x.x) or prefix (/x) notations for
88       IPv4, and in prefix notation (/x) for IPv6 network addresses. It is
89       possible to invert the sense of an address by adding not before
90       address. All but the specified address will match then.
91
92   Destination
93           destination [not] address="address[/mask]"
94
95
96       With the destination address the target can be limited to the
97       destination address. The destination address is using the same syntax
98       as the source address.
99
100       The use of source and destination addresses is optional and the use of
101       a destination addresses is not possible with all elements. This depends
102       on the use of destination addresses for example in service entries.
103
104   Service
105           service name="service name"
106
107
108       The service service name will be added to the rule. The service name is
109       one of the firewalld provided services. To get a list of the supported
110       services, use firewall-cmd --get-services.
111
112       If a service provides a destination address, it will conflict with a
113       destination address in the rule and will result in an error. The
114       services using destination addresses internally are mostly services
115       using multicast.
116
117   Port
118           port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp"
119
120
121       The port port value can either be a single port number portid or a port
122       range portid-portid. The protocol can either be tcp or udp.
123
124   Protocol
125           protocol value="protocol value"
126
127
128       The protocol value can be either a protocol id number or a protocol
129       name. For allowed protocol entries, please have a look at
130       /etc/protocols.
131
132   ICMP-Block
133           icmp-block name="icmptype name"
134
135
136       The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports. To get a
137       listing of supported icmp types: firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
138
139       It is not allowed to specify an action here. icmp-block uses the action
140       reject internally.
141
142   Masquerade
143           masquerade
144
145
146       Turn on masquerading in the rule. A source and also a destination
147       address can be provided to limit masquerading to this area.
148
149       It is not allowed to specify an action here.
150
151       Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled.
152
153   ICMP-Type
154           icmp-type name="icmptype name"
155
156
157       The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports. To get a
158       listing of supported icmp types: firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
159
160   Forward-Port
161           forward-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp" to-port="port value" to-addr="address"
162
163
164       Forward port/packets from local port value with protocol "tcp" or "udp"
165       to either another port locally or to another machine or to another port
166       on another machine.
167
168       The port value can either be a single port number or a port range
169       portid-portid. The to-addr is an IP address.
170
171       It is not allowed to specify an action here. forward-port uses the
172       action accept internally.
173
174       Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled if to-addr is specified.
175
176   Source-Port
177           source-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp"
178
179
180       The source-port port value can either be a single port number portid or
181       a port range portid-portid. The protocol can either be tcp or udp.
182
183   Log
184           log [prefix="prefix text"] [level="log level"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
185
186
187       Log new connection attempts to the rule with kernel logging for example
188       in syslog. You can define a prefix text that will be added to the log
189       message as a prefix. Log level can be one of "emerg", "alert", "crit",
190       "error", "warning", "notice", "info" or "debug", where default (i.e. if
191       there's no one specified) is "warning". See syslog(3) for description
192       of levels. See Limit section for description of limit tag.
193
194   Audit
195           audit [limit value="rate/duration"]
196
197
198       Audit provides an alternative way for logging using audit records sent
199       to the service auditd. Audit type will be discovered from the rule
200       action automatically. Use of audit is optional. See Limit section for
201       description of limit tag.
202
203   Action
204       An action can be one of accept, reject, drop or mark.
205
206       The rule can either contain an element or also a source only. If the
207       rule contains an element, then new connection matching the element will
208       be handled with the action. If the rule does not contain an element,
209       then everything from the source address will be handled with the
210       action.
211
212           accept [limit value="rate/duration"]
213
214
215           reject [type="reject type"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
216
217
218           drop [limit value="rate/duration"]
219
220
221           mark set="mark[/mask]" [limit value="rate/duration"]
222
223
224       With accept all new connection attempts will be granted. With reject
225       they will not be accepted and their source will get a reject ICMP(v6)
226       message. The reject type can be set to specify appropriate ICMP(v6)
227       error message. For valid reject types see --reject-with type in
228       iptables-extensions(8) man page. Because reject types are different for
229       IPv4 and IPv6 you have to specify rule family when using reject type.
230       With drop all packets will be dropped immediately, there is no
231       information sent to the source. With mark all packets will be marked in
232       the PREROUTING chain in the mangle table with the mark and mask
233       combination. See Limit section for description of limit tag.
234
235   Limit
236           limit value="rate/duration"
237
238
239       It is possible to limit Log, Audit and Action. A rule using this tag
240       will match until this limit is reached. The rate is a natural positive
241       number [1, ..] The duration is of "s", "m", "h", "d". "s" means
242       seconds, "m" minutes, "h" hours and "d" days. Maximum limit value is
243       "2/d", which means at maximum two matches per day.
244
245   Information about logging and actions
246       Logging can be done with the log and audit actions. A new chain is
247       added to all zones: zone_log. This will be jumped into before the deny
248       chain to be able to have a proper ordering.
249
250       The rules or parts of them are placed in separate chains according to
251       the priority and action of the rule:
252
253           zone_pre
254           zone_log
255           zone_deny
256           zone_allow
257           zone_post
258
259
260       When priority < 0, the rich rule will be placed in the zone_pre chain.
261
262       When priority == 0Then all logging rules will be placed in the zone_log
263       chain. All reject and drop rules will be placed in the zone_deny chain,
264       which will be walked after the log chain. All accept rules will be
265       placed in the zone_allow chain, which will be walked after the deny
266       chain. If a rule contains log and also deny or allow actions, the parts
267       are placed in the matching chains.
268
269       When priority > 0, the rich rule will be placed in the zone_post chain.
270

EXAMPLES

272       These are examples of how to specify rich language rules. This format
273       (i.e. one string that specifies whole rule) uses for example
274       firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule (see firewall-cmd(1)) as well as D-Bus
275       interface.
276
277   Example 1
278       Enable new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for protocol 'ah'
279
280           rule protocol value="ah" accept
281
282
283
284   Example 2
285       Allow new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for service ftp and log 1 per
286       minute using audit
287
288           rule service name="ftp" log limit value="1/m" audit accept
289
290
291
292   Example 3
293       Allow new IPv4 connections from address 192.168.0.0/24 for service tftp
294       and log 1 per minutes using syslog
295
296           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.0.0/24" service name="tftp" log prefix="tftp" level="info" limit value="1/m" accept
297
298
299
300   Example 4
301       New IPv6 connections from 1:2:3:4:6:: to service radius are all
302       rejected and logged at a rate of 3 per minute. New IPv6 connections
303       from other sources are accepted.
304
305           rule family="ipv6" source address="1:2:3:4:6::" service name="radius" log prefix="dns" level="info" limit value="3/m" reject
306           rule family="ipv6" service name="radius" accept
307
308
309
310   Example 5
311       Forward IPv6 port/packets receiving from 1:2:3:4:6:: on port 4011 with
312       protocol tcp to 1::2:3:4:7 on port 4012
313
314           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"
315
316
317
318   Example 6
319       White-list source address to allow all connections from 192.168.2.2
320
321           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.2" accept
322
323
324
325   Example 7
326       Black-list source address to reject all connections from 192.168.2.3
327
328           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.3" reject type="icmp-admin-prohibited"
329
330
331
332   Example 8
333       Black-list source address to drop all connections from 192.168.2.4
334
335           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.4" drop
