SHOREWALL6-ROUTESTO(5) [FIXME: manual] SHOREWALL6-ROUTESTO(5)
NAME
routestopped - The Shorewall6 file that governs what traffic flows through the firewall while it is in 'stopped' state.
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall6/routestopped
DESCRIPTION
This file is used to define the hosts that are accessible when the firewall is stopped or is being stopped. When shorewall6-shell is being
used, the file also determines those hosts that are accessible when the firewall is in the process of being [re]started.
The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in
the alternate specification syntax).
INTERFACE - interface
Interface through which host(s) communicate with the firewall
HOST(S) - [-|address[,address]...]
Optional comma-separated list of IP/subnet addresses. If your kernel and ip6tables include iprange match support, IP address ranges are
also allowed.
If left empty or supplied as "-", 0.0.0.0/0 is assumed.
OPTIONS - [-|option[,option]...]
An optional comma-separated list of options. The order of the options is not important but the list can contain no embedded whitespace.
The currently-supported options are:
routeback
Set up a rule to ACCEPT traffic from these hosts back to themselves. Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.9, this option is automatically
set if routeback is specified in shorewall6-interfaces[1] (5) or if the rules compiler detects that the interface is a bridge.
source
Allow traffic from these hosts to ANY destination. Without this option or the dest option, only traffic from this host to other
listed hosts (and the firewall) is allowed. If source is specified then routeback is redundant.
dest
Allow traffic to these hosts from ANY source. Without this option or the source option, only traffic from this host to other listed
hosts (and the firewall) is allowed. If dest is specified then routeback is redundant.
critical
Allow traffic between the firewall and these hosts throughout '[re]start', 'stop' and 'clear'. Specifying critical on one or more
entries will cause your firewall to be "totally open" for a brief window during each of those operations. Examples of where you
might want to use this are:
o 'Ping' nodes with heartbeat.
o LDAP server(s) if you use LDAP Authentication
o NFS Server if you have an NFS-mounted root filesystem.
Note
The source and dest options work best when used in conjunction with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes in shorewall6.conf[2](5).
EXAMPLE
Example 1:
#INTERFACE HOST(S) OPTIONS
eth2 2002:ce7c:92b4::/64
eth0 2002:ce7c:92b4:1::/64
br0 - routeback
eth3 - source
