6       firewalld.richlanguage - Rich Language Documentation

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]"|ipset="ipset"
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   Tcp-Mss-Clamp
133           tcp-mss-clamp="value=pmtu|value=number >= 536|None"
134
135
136       The tcp-mss-clamp sets the maximum segment size in the rule.
137
138       The tcp-mss-clamp has an optional attribute value can be either be set
139       to "pmtu" or a number greater than or equal to 536. If attribute value
140       is not present then the maximum segment size is automatically set to
141       "pmtu".
142
143   ICMP-Block
144           icmp-block name="icmptype name"
145
146
147       The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports. To get a
148       listing of supported icmp types: firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
149
150       It is not allowed to specify an action here. icmp-block uses the action
151       reject internally.
152
153   Masquerade
154           masquerade
155
156
157       Turn on masquerading in the rule. A source and also a destination
158       address can be provided to limit masquerading to this area.
159
160       It is not allowed to specify an action here.
161
162       Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled.
163
164   ICMP-Type
165           icmp-type name="icmptype name"
166
167
168       The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports. To get a
169       listing of supported icmp types: firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
170
171   Forward-Port
172           forward-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp" to-port="port value" to-addr="address"
173
174
175       Forward port/packets from local port value with protocol "tcp" or "udp"
176       to either another port locally or to another machine or to another port
177       on another machine.
178
179       The port value can either be a single port number or a port range
180       portid-portid. The to-addr is an IP address.
181
182       It is not allowed to specify an action here. forward-port uses the
183       action accept internally.
184
185       Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled if to-addr is specified.
186
187   Source-Port
188           source-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp"
189
190
191       The source-port port value can either be a single port number portid or
192       a port range portid-portid. The protocol can either be tcp or udp.
193
194   Log
195           log [prefix="prefix text"] [level="log level"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
196
197
198       Log new connection attempts to the rule with kernel logging for example
199       in syslog. You can define a prefix text that will be added to the log
200       message as a prefix. Log level can be one of "emerg", "alert", "crit",
201       "error", "warning", "notice", "info" or "debug", where default (i.e. if
202       there's no one specified) is "warning". See syslog(3) for description
203       of levels. See Limit section for description of limit tag.
204
205   Audit
206           audit [limit value="rate/duration"]
207
208
209       Audit provides an alternative way for logging using audit records sent
210       to the service auditd. Audit type will be discovered from the rule
211       action automatically. Use of audit is optional. See Limit section for
212       description of limit tag.
213
214   Action
215       An action can be one of accept, reject, drop or mark.
216
217       The rule can either contain an element or also a source only. If the
218       rule contains an element, then new connection matching the element will
219       be handled with the action. If the rule does not contain an element,
220       then everything from the source address will be handled with the
221       action.
222
223           accept [limit value="rate/duration"]
224
225
226           reject [type="reject type"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
227
228
229           drop [limit value="rate/duration"]
230
231
232           mark set="mark[/mask]" [limit value="rate/duration"]
233
234
235       With accept all new connection attempts will be granted. With reject
236       they will not be accepted and their source will get a reject ICMP(v6)
237       message. The reject type can be set to specify appropriate ICMP(v6)
238       error message. For valid reject types see --reject-with type in
239       iptables-extensions(8) man page. Because reject types are different for
240       IPv4 and IPv6 you have to specify rule family when using reject type.
241       With drop all packets will be dropped immediately, there is no
242       information sent to the source. With mark all packets will be marked in
243       the PREROUTING chain in the mangle table with the mark and mask
244       combination. See Limit section for description of limit tag.
245
246   Limit
247           limit value="rate/duration"
248
249
250       It is possible to limit Log, Audit and Action. A rule using this tag
251       will match until this limit is reached. The rate is a natural positive
252       number [1, ..] The duration is of "s", "m", "h", "d". "s" means
253       seconds, "m" minutes, "h" hours and "d" days. Maximum limit value is
254       "2/d", which means at maximum two matches per day.
255
256   Information about logging and actions
257       Logging can be done with the log and audit actions. A new chain is
258       added to all zones: zone_log. This will be jumped into before the deny
259       chain to be able to have a proper ordering.
260
261       The rules or parts of them are placed in separate chains according to
262       the priority and action of the rule:
263
264           zone_pre
265           zone_log
266           zone_deny
267           zone_allow
268           zone_post
269
270
271       When priority < 0, the rich rule will be placed in the zone_pre chain.
272
273       When priority == 0Then all logging rules will be placed in the zone_log
274       chain. All reject and drop rules will be placed in the zone_deny chain,
275       which will be walked after the log chain. All accept rules will be
276       placed in the zone_allow chain, which will be walked after the deny
277       chain. If a rule contains log and also deny or allow actions, the parts
278       are placed in the matching chains.
279
280       When priority > 0, the rich rule will be placed in the zone_post chain.
281

EXAMPLES

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

335
336   Example 7
337       Black-list source address to reject all connections from 192.168.2.3
338
339           rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.3" reject type="icmp-admin-prohibited"
340
341
342
343   Example 8
344       Black-list source address to drop all connections from 192.168.2.4
