NAMEfirewalld.richlanguage − Rich Language Documentation
DESCRIPTIONWith the rich language more complex firewall rules can be created in an easy to understand way​. The language uses keywords with values and is an abstract representation of ip*tables rules​. The rich language extends the current zone elements (service, port, icmp−block, icmp−type, masquerade, forward−port and source−port) with additional source and destination addresses, logging, actions and limits for logs and actions​. This page describes the rich language used in the command line client and D−Bus interface​. For information about the rich language representation used in the zone configuration files, please have a look at firewalld.zone(5)​. A rule is part of a zone​. One zone can contain several rules​. If some rules interact/contradict, the first rule that matches "wins"​. General rule structure rule [source] [destination] service|port|protocol|icmp−block|icmp−type|masquerade|forward−port|source−port [log|nflog] [audit] [accept|reject|drop|mark] The complete rule is provided as a single line string​. A destination is allowed here as long as it does not conflict with the destination of a service​. Rule structure for source black or white listing rule source [log|nflog] [audit] accept|reject|drop|mark This is used to grant or limit access from a source to this machine or machines that are reachable by this machine​. A destination is not allowed here​. Important information about element options: Options for elements in a rule need to be added exactly after the element​. If the option is placed somewhere else it might be used for another element as far as it matches the options of the other element or will result in a rule error​.
Rulerule [family="ipv4|ipv6"] [priority="priority"] If the rule family is provided, it can be either "ipv4" or "ipv6", which limits the rule to IPv4 or IPv6​. If the rule family is not provided, the rule will be added for IPv4 and IPv6​. If source or destination addresses are used in a rule, then the rule family need to be provided​. This is also the case for port/packet forwarding​. If the rule priority is provided, it can be in the range of −32768 to 32767 where lower values have higher precedence​. Rich rules are sorted by priority​. Ordering for rules with the same priority value is undefined​. A negative priority value will be executed before other firewalld primitives​. A positive priority value will be executed after other firewalld primitives​. A priority value of 0 will place the rule in a chain based on the action as per the "Information about logging and actions" below​.
Sourcesource [not] address="address[/mask]"|mac="mac−address"|ipset="ipset" With the source address the origin of a connection attempt can be limited to the source address​. An address is either a single IP address, or a network IP address, a MAC address or an IPSet​. The address has to match the rule family (IPv4/IPv6)​. Subnet mask is expressed in either dot−decimal (/x​.x​.x​.x) or prefix (/x) notations for IPv4, and in prefix notation (/x) for IPv6 network addresses​. It is possible to invert the sense of an address by adding not before address​. All but the specified address will match then​.
Destinationdestination [not] address="address[/mask]"|ipset="ipset" With the destination address the target can be limited to the destination address​. The destination address is using the same syntax as the source address​. The use of source and destination addresses is optional and the use of a destination addresses is not possible with all elements​. This depends on the use of destination addresses for example in service entries​.
Serviceservice name="service name" The service service name will be added to the rule​. The service name is one of the firewalld provided services​. To get a list of the supported services, use firewall−cmd −−get−services​. If a service provides a destination address, it will conflict with a destination address in the rule and will result in an error​. The services using destination addresses internally are mostly services using multicast​.
Portport port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp" The port port value can either be a single port number portid or a port range portid−portid​. The protocol can either be tcp, udp, sctp or dccp​.
Protocolprotocol value="protocol value" The protocol value can be either a protocol id number or a protocol name​. For allowed protocol entries, please have a look at /etc/protocols​.
Tcp−Mss−Clamptcp−mss−clamp="value=pmtu|value=number >= 536|None" The tcp−mss−clamp sets the maximum segment size in the rule​. The tcp−mss−clamp has an optional attribute value can be either be set to "pmtu" or a number greater than or equal to 536​. If attribute value is not present then the maximum segment size is automatically set to "pmtu"​.
ICMP−Blockicmp−block name="icmptype name" The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports​. To get a listing of supported icmp types: firewall−cmd −−get−icmptypes It is not allowed to specify an action here​. icmp−block uses the action reject internally​.
Masquerademasquerade Turn on masquerading in the rule​. A source and also a destination address can be provided to limit masquerading to this area​. It is not allowed to specify an action here​. Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled​.
ICMP−Typeicmp−type name="icmptype name" The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports​. To get a listing of supported icmp types: firewall−cmd −−get−icmptypes
Forward−Portforward−port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp" to−port="port value" to−addr="address" Forward port/packets from local port value with protocol "tcp" or "udp" to either another port locally or to another machine or to another port on another machine​. The port value can either be a single port number or a port range portid−portid​. The to−addr is an IP address​. The protocol can either be tcp, udp, sctp or dccp​. It is not allowed to specify an action here​. forward−port uses the action accept internally​. Note: IP forwarding will be implicitly enabled if to−addr is specified​.
Source−Portsource−port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp" The source−port port value can either be a single port number portid or a port range portid−portid​. The protocol can either be tcp, udp, sctp or dccp​.
Loglog [prefix="prefix text"] [level="log level"] [limit value="rate/duration"] Log new connection attempts to the rule with kernel logging for example in syslog​. You can define a prefix text with a maximum length of 127 characters that will be added to the log message as a prefix​. Log level can be one of "emerg", "alert", "crit", "error", "warning", "notice", "info" or "debug", where default (i​.e​. if there's no one specified) is "warning"​. See syslog(3) for description of levels​. See Limit section for description of limit tag​. Note: The iptables backend truncates prefix to 29 characters​.
NFLognflog [group="group id"] [prefix="prefix text"] [queue−size="threshold"] [limit value="rate/duration"] Log new connection attempts to the rule using kernel logging to pass the packets through a 'netlink' socket to users or applications monitoring the multicast group​. The minimum and default value for group is 0, maximum value is 65535​. See NETLINK_NETFILTER in netlink(7) man page and NFLOG in both iptables-extensions(8) and nft(8) man pages for a more detailed description​. You can define a prefix text with a maximum length of 127 characters that will be added to the log message as a prefix​. The queue−size option can be set to increase the queue threshold which can help limit context switching​. The default value for queue−size is 1, maximum value is 65535​. See iptables-extensions(8) and nft(8) for more details​. See Limit section for description of limit tag​. Note: The iptables backend truncates prefix to 63 characters​.
Auditaudit [limit value="rate/duration"] Audit provides an alternative way for logging using audit records sent to the service auditd​. Audit type will be discovered from the rule action automatically​. Use of audit is optional​. See Limit section for description of limit tag​.
ActionAn action can be one of accept, reject, drop or mark​. The rule can either contain an element or also a source only​. If the rule contains an element, then new connection matching the element will be handled with the action​. If the rule does not contain an element, then everything from the source address will be handled with the action​. accept [limit value="rate/duration"] reject [type="reject type"] [limit value="rate/duration"] drop [limit value="rate/duration"] mark set="mark[/mask]" [limit value="rate/duration"] With accept all new connection attempts will be granted​. With reject they will not be accepted and their source will get a reject ICMP(v6) message​. The reject type can be set to specify appropriate ICMP(v6) error message​. For valid reject types see −−reject−with type in iptables-extensions(8) man page​. Because reject types are different for IPv4 and IPv6 you have to specify rule family when using reject type​. With drop all packets will be dropped immediately, there is no information sent to the source​. With mark all packets will be marked in the PREROUTING chain in the mangle table with the mark and mask combination​. See Limit section for description of limit tag​.
Limitlimit value="rate/duration" It is possible to limit Log, NFLog, Audit and Action​. A rule using this tag will match until this limit is reached​. The rate is a natural positive number [1, ​.​.] The duration is of "s", "m", "h", "d"​. "s" means seconds, "m" minutes, "h" hours and "d" days​. Maximum limit value is "2/d", which means at maximum two matches per day​.
Information about logging and actionsLogging can be done with the log, nflog and audit actions​. A new chain is added to all zones: zone_log​. This will be jumped into before the deny chain to be able to have a proper ordering​. The rules or parts of them are placed in separate chains according to the priority and action of the rule: zone_pre zone_log zone_deny zone_allow zone_post When priority < 0, the rich rule will be placed in the zone_pre chain​. When priority == 0 Then all logging rules will be placed in the zone_log chain​. All reject and drop rules will be placed in the zone_deny chain, which will be walked after the log chain​. All accept rules will be placed in the zone_allow chain, which will be walked after the deny chain​. If a rule contains log and also deny or allow actions, the parts are placed in the matching chains​. When priority > 0, the rich rule will be placed in the zone_post chain​.
EXAMPLESThese are examples of how to specify rich language rules​. This format (i​.e​. one string that specifies whole rule) uses for example firewall−cmd −−add−rich−rule (see firewall-cmd(1)) as well as D−Bus interface​.
Example 1Enable new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for protocol 'ah' rule protocol value="ah" accept
Example 2Allow new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for service ftp and log 1 per minute using audit rule service name="ftp" log limit value="1/m" audit accept
Example 3Allow new IPv4 connections from address 192​.168​.0​.0/24 for service tftp and log 1 per minutes using syslog rule family="ipv4" source address="192​.168​.0​.0/24" service name="tftp" log prefix="tftp" level="info" limit value="1/m" accept
Example 4New IPv6 connections from 1:2:3:4:6:: to service radius are all rejected and logged at a rate of 3 per minute​. New IPv6 connections from other sources are accepted​. rule family="ipv6" source address="1:2:3:4:6::" service name="radius" log prefix="dns" level="info" limit value="3/m" reject rule family="ipv6" service name="radius" accept
Example 5Forward IPv6 port/packets receiving from 1:2:3:4:6:: on port 4011 with protocol tcp to 1::2:3:4:7 on port 4012 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"
Example 6White−list source address to allow all connections from 192​.168​.2​.2 rule family="ipv4" source address="192​.168​.2​.2" accept
Example 7Black−list source address to reject all connections from 192​.168​.2​.3 rule family="ipv4" source address="192​.168​.2​.3" reject type="icmp−admin−prohibited"
Example 8Black−list source address to drop all connections from 192​.168​.2​.4 rule family="ipv4" source address="192​.168​.2​.4" drop
