DESCRIPTION
The shorewall6-lite utility is used to control the Shoreline Firewall 6
(Shorewall6) Lite.
OPTIONS
The trace and debug options are used for debugging. See
http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping.htm#Trace.
The nolock option prevents the command from attempting to acquire the
Shorewall6 Lite lockfile. It is useful if you need to include
shorewall6-lite commands in the started extension script.
The options control the amount of output that the command produces.
They consist of a sequence of the letters v and q. If the options are
omitted, the amount of output is determined by the setting of the
VERBOSITY parameter in shorewall6.conf[1](5). Each v adds one to the
effective verbosity and each q subtracts one from the effective
VERBOSITY. Anternately, v may be followed immediately with one of
-1,0,1,2 to specify a specify VERBOSITY. There may be no white space
between v and the VERBOSITY.
The options may also include the letter t which causes all progress
messages to be timestamped.
COMMANDS
The available commands are listed below.
allow
Re-enables receipt of packets from hosts previously blacklisted by
a drop, logdrop, reject, or logreject command.
clear
Clear will remove all rules and chains installed by Shorewall6
Lite. The firewall is then wide open and unprotected. Existing
connections are untouched. Clear is often used to see if the
firewall is causing connection problems.
drop
Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be silently dropped.
dump
Produces a verbose report about the firewall configuration for the
purpose of problem analysis.
The -x option causes actual packet and byte counts to be displayed.
Without that option, these counts are abbreviated. The -m option
causes any MAC addresses included in Shorewall6 Lite log messages
to be displayed.
forget
Deletes /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/filename and
/var/lib/shorewall6-lite/save. If no filename is given then the
file specified by RESTOREFILE in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5) is
assumed.
help
Displays a syntax summary.
hits
Generates several reports from Shorewall6 Lite log messages in the
current log file.
logdrop
Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be logged then
discarded.
logwatch
Monitors the log file specified by theLOGFILE option in
shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5) and produces an audible alarm when new
Shorewall6 Lite messages are logged. The -m option causes the MAC
address of each packet source to be displayed if that information
is available. The refresh-interval specifies the time in seconds
between screen refreshes. You can enter a negative number by
preceding the number with "--" (e.g., shorewall6-lite logwatch --
-30). In this case, when a packet count changes, you will be
prompted to hit any key to resume screen refreshes.
logreject
Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be logged then
rejected.
reset
All the packet and byte counters in the firewall are reset.
restart
Restart is similar to shorewall6-lite stop followed by
shorewall6-lite start. Existing connections are maintained.
The -n option causes Shorewall6 to avoid updating the routing
table(s).
The -p option causes the connection tracking table to be flushed;
the conntrack utility must be installed to use this option.
restore
Restore Shorewall6 Lite to a state saved using the shorewall6-lite
save command. Existing connections are maintained. The filename
names a restore file in /var/lib/shorewall6-lite created using
shorewall6-lite save; if no filename is given then Shorewall6 Lite
will be restored from the file specified by the RESTOREFILE option
in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5).
save
The dynamic blacklist is stored in /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/save.
The state of the firewall is stored in
/var/lib/shorewall6-lite/filename for use by the shorewall6-lite
restore and shorewall6-lite -f start commands. If filename is not
given then the state is saved in the file specified by the
RESTOREFILE option in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5).
show
The show command can have a number of different arguments:
actions
Produces a report about the available actions (built-in,
standard and user-defined).
capabilities
Displays your kernel/iptables capabilities. The -f option
causes the display to be formatted as a capabilities file for
use with compile -e.
[ [ chain ] chain ... ]
The rules in each chain are displayed using the ip6tables -L
chain -n -v command. If no chain is given, all of the chains in
the filter table are displayed. The -x option is passed
directly through to iptables and causes actual packet and byte
counts to be displayed. Without this option, those counts are
abbreviated. The -t option specifies the Netfilter table to
display. The default is filter.
If the t option and the chain keyword are both omitted and any
of the listed chains do not exist, a usage message will be
displayed.
classifiers
Displays information about the packet classifiers defined on
the system as a result of traffic shaping configuration.
config
Dispays distribution-specific defaults.
connections
Displays the IPv6 connections currently being tracked by the
firewall.
mangle
Displays the Netfilter mangle table using the command ip6tables
-t mangle -L -n -v.The -x option is passed directly through to
iptables and causes actual packet and byte counts to be
displayed. Without this option, those counts are abbreviated.
tc
Displays information about queuing disciplines, classes and
filters.
zones
Displays the current composition of the Shorewall6 Lite zones
on the system.
start
Start shorewall6 Lite. Existing connections through shorewall6-lite
managed interfaces are untouched. New connections will be allowed
only if they are allowed by the firewall rules or policies. If -f
is specified, the saved configuration specified by the RESTOREFILE
option in shorewall6-lite.conf[2](5) will be restored if that saved
configuration exists and has been modified more recently than the
files in /etc/shorewall6.
The -n option causes Shorewall6 to avoid updating the routing
table(s).
The -p option causes the connection tracking table to be flushed;
the conntrack utility must be installed to use this option.
stop
Stops the firewall. All existing connections, except those listed
in shorewall6-routestopped[3](5) or permitted by the
ADMINISABSENTMINDED option in shorewall6.conf(5), are taken down.
The only new traffic permitted through the firewall is from systems
listed in shorewall6-routestopped[3](5) or by ADMINISABSENTMINDED.
status
Produces a short report about the state of the
Shorewall6-configured firewall.
version
Displays Shorewall6-lite's version.
