169.Sh DESCRIPTION
170The
171.Nm
172utility is the user interface for controlling the
173.Xr ipfw 4
174firewall, the
175.Xr dummynet 4
176traffic shaper/packet scheduler, and the
177in-kernel NAT services.
178.Pp
179A firewall configuration, or
180.Em ruleset ,
181is made of a list of
182.Em rules
183numbered from 1 to 65535.
184Packets are passed to the firewall
185from a number of different places in the protocol stack
186(depending on the source and destination of the packet,
187it is possible for the firewall to be
188invoked multiple times on the same packet).
189The packet passed to the firewall is compared
190against each of the rules in the
191.Em ruleset ,
192in rule-number order
193(multiple rules with the same number are permitted, in which case
194they are processed in order of insertion).
195When a match is found, the action corresponding to the
196matching rule is performed.
197.Pp
198Depending on the action and certain system settings, packets
199can be reinjected into the firewall at some rule after the
200matching one for further processing.
201.Pp
202A ruleset always includes a
203.Em default
204rule (numbered 65535) which cannot be modified or deleted,
205and matches all packets.
206The action associated with the
207.Em default
208rule can be either
209.Cm deny
210or
211.Cm allow
212depending on how the kernel is configured.
213.Pp
214If the ruleset includes one or more rules with the
215.Cm keep-state
216or
217.Cm limit
218option,
219the firewall will have a
220.Em stateful
221behaviour, i.e., upon a match it will create
222.Em dynamic rules ,
223i.e., rules that match packets with the same 5-tuple
224(protocol, source and destination addresses and ports)
225as the packet which caused their creation.
226Dynamic rules, which have a limited lifetime, are checked
227at the first occurrence of a
228.Cm check-state ,
229.Cm keep-state
230or
231.Cm limit
232rule, and are typically used to open the firewall on-demand to
233legitimate traffic only.
234See the
235.Sx STATEFUL FIREWALL
236and
237.Sx EXAMPLES
238Sections below for more information on the stateful behaviour of
239.Nm .
240.Pp
241All rules (including dynamic ones) have a few associated counters:
242a packet count, a byte count, a log count and a timestamp
243indicating the time of the last match.
244Counters can be displayed or reset with
245.Nm
246commands.
247.Pp
248Each rule belongs to one of 32 different
249.Em sets
250, and there are
251.Nm
252commands to atomically manipulate sets, such as enable,
253disable, swap sets, move all rules in a set to another
254one, delete all rules in a set.
255These can be useful to
256install temporary configurations, or to test them.
257See Section
258.Sx SETS OF RULES
259for more information on
260.Em sets .
261.Pp
262Rules can be added with the
263.Cm add
264command; deleted individually or in groups with the
265.Cm delete
266command, and globally (except those in set 31) with the
267.Cm flush
268command; displayed, optionally with the content of the
269counters, using the
270.Cm show
271and
272.Cm list
273commands.
274Finally, counters can be reset with the
275.Cm zero
276and
277.Cm resetlog
278commands.
279.Pp
280.Ss COMMAND OPTIONS
281The following general options are available when invoking
282.Nm :
283.Bl -tag -width indent
284.It Fl a
285Show counter values when listing rules.
286The
287.Cm show
288command implies this option.
289.It Fl b
290Only show the action and the comment, not the body of a rule.
291Implies
292.Fl c .
293.It Fl c
294When entering or showing rules, print them in compact form,
295i.e., omitting the "ip from any to any" string
296when this does not carry any additional information.
297.It Fl d
298When listing, show dynamic rules in addition to static ones.
299.It Fl e
300When listing and
301.Fl d
302is specified, also show expired dynamic rules.
303.It Fl f
304Do not ask for confirmation for commands that can cause problems
305if misused, i.e.,
306.Cm flush .
307If there is no tty associated with the process, this is implied.
308.It Fl i
309When listing a table (see the
310.Sx LOOKUP TABLES
311section below for more information on lookup tables), format values
312as IP addresses.
313By default, values are shown as integers.
314.It Fl n
315Only check syntax of the command strings, without actually passing
316them to the kernel.
317.It Fl N
318Try to resolve addresses and service names in output.
319.It Fl q
320Be quiet when executing the
321.Cm add ,
322.Cm nat ,
323.Cm zero ,
324.Cm resetlog
325or
326.Cm flush
327commands;
328(implies
329.Fl f ) .
330This is useful when updating rulesets by executing multiple
331.Nm
332commands in a script
333(e.g.,
334.Ql sh\ /etc/rc.firewall ) ,
335or by processing a file with many
336.Nm
337rules across a remote login session.
338It also stops a table add or delete
339from failing if the entry already exists or is not present.
340.Pp
341The reason why this option may be important is that
342for some of these actions,
343.Nm
344may print a message; if the action results in blocking the
345traffic to the remote client,
346the remote login session will be closed
347and the rest of the ruleset will not be processed.
348Access to the console would then be required to recover.
349.It Fl S
350When listing rules, show the
351.Em set
352each rule belongs to.
353If this flag is not specified, disabled rules will not be
354listed.
355.It Fl s Op Ar field
356When listing pipes, sort according to one of the four
357counters (total or current packets or bytes).
358.It Fl t
359When listing, show last match timestamp converted with ctime().
360.It Fl T
361When listing, show last match timestamp as seconds from the epoch.
362This form can be more convenient for postprocessing by scripts.
363.El
364.Ss LIST OF RULES AND PREPROCESSING
365To ease configuration, rules can be put into a file which is
366processed using
367.Nm
368as shown in the last synopsis line.
369An absolute
370.Ar pathname
371must be used.
372The file will be read line by line and applied as arguments to the
373.Nm
374utility.
375.Pp
376Optionally, a preprocessor can be specified using
377.Fl p Ar preproc
378where
379.Ar pathname
380is to be piped through.
381Useful preprocessors include
382.Xr cpp 1
383and
384.Xr m4 1 .
385If
386.Ar preproc
387does not start with a slash
388.Pq Ql /
389as its first character, the usual
390.Ev PATH
391name search is performed.
392Care should be taken with this in environments where not all
393file systems are mounted (yet) by the time
394.Nm
395is being run (e.g.\& when they are mounted over NFS).
396Once
397.Fl p
398has been specified, any additional arguments are passed on to the preprocessor
399for interpretation.
400This allows for flexible configuration files (like conditionalizing
401them on the local hostname) and the use of macros to centralize
402frequently required arguments like IP addresses.
403.Ss TRAFFIC SHAPER CONFIGURATION
404The
405.Nm
406.Cm pipe , queue
407and
408.Cm sched
409commands are used to configure the traffic shaper and packet scheduler.
410See the
411.Sx TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION
412Section below for details.
413.Pp
414If the world and the kernel get out of sync the
415.Nm
416ABI may break, preventing you from being able to add any rules.
417This can adversely affect the booting process.
418You can use
419.Nm
420.Cm disable
421.Cm firewall
422to temporarily disable the firewall to regain access to the network,
423allowing you to fix the problem.
424.Sh PACKET FLOW
425A packet is checked against the active ruleset in multiple places
426in the protocol stack, under control of several sysctl variables.
427These places and variables are shown below, and it is important to
428have this picture in mind in order to design a correct ruleset.
429.Bd -literal -offset indent
430       ^    to upper layers    V
431       |                       |
432       +----------->-----------+
433       ^                       V
434 [ip(6)_input]           [ip(6)_output]     net.inet(6).ip(6).fw.enable=1
435       |                       |
436       ^                       V
437 [ether_demux]        [ether_output_frame]  net.link.ether.ipfw=1
438       |                       |
439       +-->--[bdg_forward]-->--+            net.link.bridge.ipfw=1
440       ^                       V
441       |      to devices       |
442.Ed
443.Pp
444The number of
445times the same packet goes through the firewall can
446vary between 0 and 4 depending on packet source and
447destination, and system configuration.
448.Pp
449Note that as packets flow through the stack, headers can be
450stripped or added to it, and so they may or may not be available
451for inspection.
452E.g., incoming packets will include the MAC header when
453.Nm
454is invoked from
455.Cm ether_demux() ,
456but the same packets will have the MAC header stripped off when
457.Nm
458is invoked from
459.Cm ip_input()
460or
461.Cm ip6_input() .
462.Pp
463Also note that each packet is always checked against the complete ruleset,
464irrespective of the place where the check occurs, or the source of the packet.
465If a rule contains some match patterns or actions which are not valid
466for the place of invocation (e.g.\& trying to match a MAC header within
467.Cm ip_input
468or
469.Cm ip6_input ),
470the match pattern will not match, but a
471.Cm not
472operator in front of such patterns
473.Em will
474cause the pattern to
475.Em always
476match on those packets.
477It is thus the responsibility of
478the programmer, if necessary, to write a suitable ruleset to
479differentiate among the possible places.
480.Cm skipto
481rules can be useful here, as an example:
482.Bd -literal -offset indent
483# packets from ether_demux or bdg_forward
484ipfw add 10 skipto 1000 all from any to any layer2 in
485# packets from ip_input
486ipfw add 10 skipto 2000 all from any to any not layer2 in
487# packets from ip_output
488ipfw add 10 skipto 3000 all from any to any not layer2 out
489# packets from ether_output_frame
490ipfw add 10 skipto 4000 all from any to any layer2 out
491.Ed
492.Pp
493(yes, at the moment there is no way to differentiate between
494ether_demux and bdg_forward).
495.Sh SYNTAX
496In general, each keyword or argument must be provided as
497a separate command line argument, with no leading or trailing
498spaces.
499Keywords are case-sensitive, whereas arguments may
500or may not be case-sensitive depending on their nature
501(e.g.\& uid's are, hostnames are not).
502.Pp
503Some arguments (e.g., port or address lists) are comma-separated
504lists of values.
505In this case, spaces after commas ',' are allowed to make
506the line more readable.
507You can also put the entire
508command (including flags) into a single argument.
509E.g., the following forms are equivalent:
510.Bd -literal -offset indent
511ipfw -q add deny src-ip 10.0.0.0/24,127.0.0.1/8
512ipfw -q add deny src-ip 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.1/8
513ipfw "-q add deny src-ip 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.1/8"
514.Ed
515.Sh RULE FORMAT
516The format of firewall rules is the following:
517.Bd -ragged -offset indent
518.Bk -words
519.Op Ar rule_number
520.Op Cm set Ar set_number
521.Op Cm prob Ar match_probability
522.Ar action
523.Op Cm log Op Cm logamount Ar number
524.Op Cm altq Ar queue
525.Oo
526.Bro Cm tag | untag
527.Brc Ar number
528.Oc
529.Ar body
530.Ek
531.Ed
532.Pp
533where the body of the rule specifies which information is used
534for filtering packets, among the following:
535.Pp
536.Bl -tag -width "Source and dest. addresses and ports" -offset XXX -compact
537.It Layer-2 header fields
538When available
539.It IPv4 and IPv6 Protocol
540TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.
541.It Source and dest. addresses and ports
542.It Direction
543See Section
544.Sx PACKET FLOW
545.It Transmit and receive interface
546By name or address
547.It Misc. IP header fields
548Version, type of service, datagram length, identification,
549fragment flag (non-zero IP offset),
550Time To Live
551.It IP options
552.It IPv6 Extension headers
553Fragmentation, Hop-by-Hop options,
554Routing Headers, Source routing rthdr0, Mobile IPv6 rthdr2, IPSec options.
555.It IPv6 Flow-ID
556.It Misc. TCP header fields
557TCP flags (SYN, FIN, ACK, RST, etc.),
558sequence number, acknowledgment number,
559window
560.It TCP options
561.It ICMP types
562for ICMP packets
563.It ICMP6 types
564for ICMP6 packets
565.It User/group ID
566When the packet can be associated with a local socket.
567.It Divert status
568Whether a packet came from a divert socket (e.g.,
569.Xr natd 8 ) .
570.It Fib annotation state
571Whether a packet has been tagged for using a specific FIB (routing table)
572in future forwarding decisions.
573.El
574.Pp
575Note that some of the above information, e.g.\& source MAC or IP addresses and
576TCP/UDP ports, can be easily spoofed, so filtering on those fields
577alone might not guarantee the desired results.
578.Bl -tag -width indent
579.It Ar rule_number
580Each rule is associated with a
581.Ar rule_number
582in the range 1..65535, with the latter reserved for the
583.Em default
584rule.
585Rules are checked sequentially by rule number.
586Multiple rules can have the same number, in which case they are
587checked (and listed) according to the order in which they have
588been added.
589If a rule is entered without specifying a number, the kernel will
590assign one in such a way that the rule becomes the last one
591before the
592.Em default
593rule.
594Automatic rule numbers are assigned by incrementing the last
595non-default rule number by the value of the sysctl variable
596.Ar net.inet.ip.fw.autoinc_step
597which defaults to 100.
598If this is not possible (e.g.\& because we would go beyond the
599maximum allowed rule number), the number of the last
600non-default value is used instead.
601.It Cm set Ar set_number
602Each rule is associated with a
603.Ar set_number
604in the range 0..31.
605Sets can be individually disabled and enabled, so this parameter
606is of fundamental importance for atomic ruleset manipulation.
607It can be also used to simplify deletion of groups of rules.
608If a rule is entered without specifying a set number,
609set 0 will be used.
610.br
611Set 31 is special in that it cannot be disabled,
612and rules in set 31 are not deleted by the
613.Nm ipfw flush
614command (but you can delete them with the
615.Nm ipfw delete set 31
616command).
617Set 31 is also used for the
618.Em default
619rule.
620.It Cm prob Ar match_probability
621A match is only declared with the specified probability
622(floating point number between 0 and 1).
623This can be useful for a number of applications such as
624random packet drop or
625(in conjunction with
626.Nm dummynet )
627to simulate the effect of multiple paths leading to out-of-order
628packet delivery.
629.Pp
630Note: this condition is checked before any other condition, including
631ones such as keep-state or check-state which might have side effects.
632.It Cm log Op Cm logamount Ar number
633Packets matching a rule with the
634.Cm log
635keyword will be made available for logging in two ways:
636if the sysctl variable
637.Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose
638is set to 0 (default), one can use
639.Xr bpf 4
640attached to the
641.Li ipfw0
642pseudo interface.
643This pseudo interface can be created after a boot
644manually by using the following command:
645.Bd -literal -offset indent
646# ifconfig ipfw0 create
647.Ed
648.Pp
649Or, automatically at boot time by adding the following
650line to the
651.Xr rc.conf 5
652file:
653.Bd -literal -offset indent
654firewall_logif="YES"
655.Ed
656.Pp
657There is no overhead if no
658.Xr bpf 4
659is attached to the pseudo interface.
660.Pp
661If
662.Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose
663is set to 1, packets will be logged to
664.Xr syslogd 8
665with a
666.Dv LOG_SECURITY
667facility up to a maximum of
668.Cm logamount
669packets.
670If no
671.Cm logamount
672is specified, the limit is taken from the sysctl variable
673.Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit .
674In both cases, a value of 0 means unlimited logging.
675.Pp
676Once the limit is reached, logging can be re-enabled by
677clearing the logging counter or the packet counter for that entry, see the
678.Cm resetlog
679command.
680.Pp
681Note: logging is done after all other packet matching conditions
682have been successfully verified, and before performing the final
683action (accept, deny, etc.) on the packet.
684.It Cm tag Ar number
685When a packet matches a rule with the
686.Cm tag
687keyword, the numeric tag for the given
688.Ar number
689in the range 1..65534 will be attached to the packet.
690The tag acts as an internal marker (it is not sent out over
691the wire) that can be used to identify these packets later on.
692This can be used, for example, to provide trust between interfaces
693and to start doing policy-based filtering.
694A packet can have multiple tags at the same time.
695Tags are "sticky", meaning once a tag is applied to a packet by a
696matching rule it exists until explicit removal.
697Tags are kept with the packet everywhere within the kernel, but are
698lost when packet leaves the kernel, for example, on transmitting
699packet out to the network or sending packet to a
700.Xr divert 4
701socket.
702.Pp
703To check for previously applied tags, use the
704.Cm tagged
705rule option.
706To delete previously applied tag, use the
707.Cm untag
708keyword.
709.Pp
710Note: since tags are kept with the packet everywhere in kernelspace,
711they can be set and unset anywhere in the kernel network subsystem
712(using the
713.Xr mbuf_tags 9
714facility), not only by means of the
715.Xr ipfw 4
716.Cm tag
717and
718.Cm untag
719keywords.
720For example, there can be a specialized
721.Xr netgraph 4
722node doing traffic analyzing and tagging for later inspecting
723in firewall.
724.It Cm untag Ar number
725When a packet matches a rule with the
726.Cm untag
727keyword, the tag with the number
728.Ar number
729is searched among the tags attached to this packet and,
730if found, removed from it.
731Other tags bound to packet, if present, are left untouched.
732.It Cm altq Ar queue
733When a packet matches a rule with the
734.Cm altq
735keyword, the ALTQ identifier for the given
736.Ar queue
737(see
738.Xr altq 4 )
739will be attached.
740Note that this ALTQ tag is only meaningful for packets going "out" of IPFW,
741and not being rejected or going to divert sockets.
742Note that if there is insufficient memory at the time the packet is
743processed, it will not be tagged, so it is wise to make your ALTQ
744"default" queue policy account for this.
745If multiple
746.Cm altq
747rules match a single packet, only the first one adds the ALTQ classification
748tag.
749In doing so, traffic may be shaped by using
750.Cm count Cm altq Ar queue
751rules for classification early in the ruleset, then later applying
752the filtering decision.
753For example,
754.Cm check-state
755and
756.Cm keep-state
757rules may come later and provide the actual filtering decisions in
758addition to the fallback ALTQ tag.
759.Pp
760You must run
761.Xr pfctl 8
762to set up the queues before IPFW will be able to look them up by name,
763and if the ALTQ disciplines are rearranged, the rules in containing the
764queue identifiers in the kernel will likely have gone stale and need
765to be reloaded.
766Stale queue identifiers will probably result in misclassification.
767.Pp
768All system ALTQ processing can be turned on or off via
769.Nm
770.Cm enable Ar altq
771and
772.Nm
773.Cm disable Ar altq .
774The usage of
775.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
776is irrelevant to ALTQ traffic shaping, as the actual rule action is followed
777always after adding an ALTQ tag.
778.El
779.Ss RULE ACTIONS
780A rule can be associated with one of the following actions, which
781will be executed when the packet matches the body of the rule.
782.Bl -tag -width indent
783.It Cm allow | accept | pass | permit
784Allow packets that match rule.
785The search terminates.
786.It Cm check-state Op Ar :flowname | Cm :any
787Checks the packet against the dynamic ruleset.
788If a match is found, execute the action associated with
789the rule which generated this dynamic rule, otherwise
790move to the next rule.
791.br
792.Cm Check-state
793rules do not have a body.
794If no
795.Cm check-state
796rule is found, the dynamic ruleset is checked at the first
797.Cm keep-state
798or
799.Cm limit
800rule.
801The
802.Ar :flowname
803is symbolic name assigned to dynamic rule by
804.Cm keep-state
805opcode.
806The special flowname
807.Cm :any
808can be used to ignore states flowname when matching.
809The
810.Cm :default
811keyword is special name used for compatibility with old rulesets.
812.It Cm count
813Update counters for all packets that match rule.
814The search continues with the next rule.
815.It Cm deny | drop
816Discard packets that match this rule.
817The search terminates.
818.It Cm divert Ar port
819Divert packets that match this rule to the
820.Xr divert 4
821socket bound to port
822.Ar port .
823The search terminates.
824.It Cm fwd | forward Ar ipaddr | tablearg Ns Op , Ns Ar port
825Change the next-hop on matching packets to
826.Ar ipaddr ,
827which can be an IP address or a host name.
828For IPv4, the next hop can also be supplied by the last table
829looked up for the packet by using the
830.Cm tablearg
831keyword instead of an explicit address.
832The search terminates if this rule matches.
833.Pp
834If
835.Ar ipaddr
836is a local address, then matching packets will be forwarded to
837.Ar port
838(or the port number in the packet if one is not specified in the rule)
839on the local machine.
840.br
841If
842.Ar ipaddr
843is not a local address, then the port number
844(if specified) is ignored, and the packet will be
845forwarded to the remote address, using the route as found in
846the local routing table for that IP.
847.br
848A
849.Ar fwd
850rule will not match layer-2 packets (those received
851on ether_input, ether_output, or bridged).
852.br
853The
854.Cm fwd
855action does not change the contents of the packet at all.
856In particular, the destination address remains unmodified, so
857packets forwarded to another system will usually be rejected by that system
858unless there is a matching rule on that system to capture them.
859For packets forwarded locally,
860the local address of the socket will be
861set to the original destination address of the packet.
862This makes the
863.Xr netstat 1
864entry look rather weird but is intended for
865use with transparent proxy servers.
866.It Cm nat Ar nat_nr | tablearg
867Pass packet to a
868nat instance
869(for network address translation, address redirect, etc.):
870see the
871.Sx NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT)
872Section for further information.
873.It Cm nat64lsn Ar name
874Pass packet to a stateful NAT64 instance (for IPv6/IPv4 network address and
875protocol translation): see the
876.Sx IPv6/IPv4 NETWORK ADDRESS AND PROTOCOL TRANSLATION
877Section for further information.
878.It Cm nat64stl Ar name
879Pass packet to a stateless NAT64 instance (for IPv6/IPv4 network address and
880protocol translation): see the
881.Sx IPv6/IPv4 NETWORK ADDRESS AND PROTOCOL TRANSLATION
882Section for further information.
883.It Cm nptv6 Ar name
884Pass packet to a NPTv6 instance (for IPv6-to-IPv6 network prefix translation):
885see the
886.Sx IPv6-to-IPv6 NETWORK PREFIX TRANSLATION (NPTv6)
887Section for further information.
888.It Cm pipe Ar pipe_nr
889Pass packet to a
890.Nm dummynet
891.Dq pipe
892(for bandwidth limitation, delay, etc.).
893See the
894.Sx TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION
895Section for further information.
896The search terminates; however, on exit from the pipe and if
897the
898.Xr sysctl 8
899variable
900.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
901is not set, the packet is passed again to the firewall code
902starting from the next rule.
903.It Cm queue Ar queue_nr
904Pass packet to a
905.Nm dummynet
906.Dq queue
907(for bandwidth limitation using WF2Q+).
908.It Cm reject
909(Deprecated).
910Synonym for
911.Cm unreach host .
912.It Cm reset
913Discard packets that match this rule, and if the
914packet is a TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.
915The search terminates.
916.It Cm reset6
917Discard packets that match this rule, and if the
918packet is a TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.
919The search terminates.
920.It Cm skipto Ar number | tablearg
921Skip all subsequent rules numbered less than
922.Ar number .
923The search continues with the first rule numbered
924.Ar number
925or higher.
926It is possible to use the
927.Cm tablearg
928keyword with a skipto for a
929.Em computed
930skipto. Skipto may work either in O(log(N)) or in O(1) depending
931on amount of memory and/or sysctl variables.
932See the
933.Sx SYSCTL VARIABLES
934section for more details.
935.It Cm call Ar number | tablearg
936The current rule number is saved in the internal stack and
937ruleset processing continues with the first rule numbered
938.Ar number
939or higher.
940If later a rule with the
941.Cm return
942action is encountered, the processing returns to the first rule
943with number of this
944.Cm call
945rule plus one or higher
946(the same behaviour as with packets returning from
947.Xr divert 4
948socket after a
949.Cm divert
950action).
951This could be used to make somewhat like an assembly language
952.Dq subroutine
953calls to rules with common checks for different interfaces, etc.
954.Pp
955Rule with any number could be called, not just forward jumps as with
956.Cm skipto .
957So, to prevent endless loops in case of mistakes, both
958.Cm call
959and
960.Cm return
961actions don't do any jumps and simply go to the next rule if memory
962cannot be allocated or stack overflowed/underflowed.
963.Pp
964Internally stack for rule numbers is implemented using
965.Xr mbuf_tags 9
966facility and currently has size of 16 entries.
967As mbuf tags are lost when packet leaves the kernel,
968.Cm divert
969should not be used in subroutines to avoid endless loops
970and other undesired effects.
971.It Cm return
972Takes rule number saved to internal stack by the last
973.Cm call
974action and returns ruleset processing to the first rule
975with number greater than number of corresponding
976.Cm call
977rule.
978See description of the
979.Cm call
980action for more details.
981.Pp
982Note that
983.Cm return
984rules usually end a
985.Dq subroutine
986and thus are unconditional, but
987.Nm
988command-line utility currently requires every action except
989.Cm check-state
990to have body.
991While it is sometimes useful to return only on some packets,
992usually you want to print just
993.Dq return
994for readability.
995A workaround for this is to use new syntax and
996.Fl c
997switch:
998.Bd -literal -offset indent
999# Add a rule without actual body
1000ipfw add 2999 return via any
1001
1002# List rules without "from any to any" part
1003ipfw -c list
1004.Ed
1005.Pp
1006This cosmetic annoyance may be fixed in future releases.
1007.It Cm tee Ar port
1008Send a copy of packets matching this rule to the
1009.Xr divert 4
1010socket bound to port
1011.Ar port .
1012The search continues with the next rule.
1013.It Cm unreach Ar code
1014Discard packets that match this rule, and try to send an ICMP
1015unreachable notice with code
1016.Ar code ,
1017where
1018.Ar code
1019is a number from 0 to 255, or one of these aliases:

1024or
1025.Cm precedence-cutoff .
1026The search terminates.
1027.It Cm unreach6 Ar code
1028Discard packets that match this rule, and try to send an ICMPv6
1029unreachable notice with code
1030.Ar code ,
1031where
1032.Ar code
1033is a number from 0, 1, 3 or 4, or one of these aliases:
1034.Cm no-route, admin-prohib, address
1035or
1036.Cm port .
1037The search terminates.
1038.It Cm netgraph Ar cookie
1039Divert packet into netgraph with given
1040.Ar cookie .
1041The search terminates.
1042If packet is later returned from netgraph it is either
1043accepted or continues with the next rule, depending on
1044.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
1045sysctl variable.
1046.It Cm ngtee Ar cookie
1047A copy of packet is diverted into netgraph, original
1048packet continues with the next rule.
1049See
1050.Xr ng_ipfw 4
1051for more information on
1052.Cm netgraph
1053and
1054.Cm ngtee
1055actions.
1056.It Cm setfib Ar fibnum | tablearg
1057The packet is tagged so as to use the FIB (routing table)
1058.Ar fibnum
1059in any subsequent forwarding decisions.
1060In the current implementation, this is limited to the values 0 through 15, see
1061.Xr setfib 2 .
1062Processing continues at the next rule.
1063It is possible to use the
1064.Cm tablearg
1065keyword with setfib.
1066If the tablearg value is not within the compiled range of fibs,
1067the packet's fib is set to 0.
1068.It Cm setdscp Ar DSCP | number | tablearg
1069Set specified DiffServ codepoint for an IPv4/IPv6 packet.
1070Processing continues at the next rule.
1071Supported values are:

1116.Pq Dv 000000 .
1117Additionally, DSCP value can be specified by number (0..64).
1118It is also possible to use the
1119.Cm tablearg
1120keyword with setdscp.
1121If the tablearg value is not within the 0..64 range, lower 6 bits of supplied
1122value are used.
1123.It Cm tcp-setmss Ar mss
1124Set the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) in the TCP segment to value
1125.Ar mss .
1126The kernel module
1127.Cm ipfw_pmod
1128should be loaded or kernel should have
1129.Cm options IPFIREWALL_PMOD
1130to be able use this action.
1131This command does not change a packet if original MSS value is lower than
1132specified value.
1133Both TCP over IPv4 and over IPv6 are supported.
1134Regardless of matched a packet or not by the
1135.Cm tcp-setmss
1136rule, the search continues with the next rule.
1137.It Cm reass
1138Queue and reassemble IP fragments.
1139If the packet is not fragmented, counters are updated and
1140processing continues with the next rule.
1141If the packet is the last logical fragment, the packet is reassembled and, if
1142.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
1143is set to 0, processing continues with the next rule.
1144Otherwise, the packet is allowed to pass and the search terminates.
1145If the packet is a fragment in the middle of a logical group of fragments,
1146it is consumed and
1147processing stops immediately.
1148.Pp
1149Fragment handling can be tuned via
1150.Va net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets
1151and
1152.Va net.inet.ip.maxfragsperpacket
1153which limit, respectively, the maximum number of processable
1154fragments (default: 800) and
1155the maximum number of fragments per packet (default: 16).
1156.Pp
1157NOTA BENE: since fragments do not contain port numbers,
1158they should be avoided with the
1159.Nm reass
1160rule.
1161Alternatively, direction-based (like
1162.Nm in
1163/
1164.Nm out
1165) and source-based (like
1166.Nm via
1167) match patterns can be used to select fragments.
1168.Pp
1169Usually a simple rule like:
1170.Bd -literal -offset indent
1171# reassemble incoming fragments
1172ipfw add reass all from any to any in
1173.Ed
1174.Pp
1175is all you need at the beginning of your ruleset.
1176.El
1177.Ss RULE BODY
1178The body of a rule contains zero or more patterns (such as
1179specific source and destination addresses or ports,
1180protocol options, incoming or outgoing interfaces, etc.)
1181that the packet must match in order to be recognised.
1182In general, the patterns are connected by (implicit)
1183.Cm and
1184operators -- i.e., all must match in order for the
1185rule to match.
1186Individual patterns can be prefixed by the
1187.Cm not
1188operator to reverse the result of the match, as in
1189.Pp
1190.Dl "ipfw add 100 allow ip from not 1.2.3.4 to any"
1191.Pp
1192Additionally, sets of alternative match patterns
1193.Pq Em or-blocks
1194can be constructed by putting the patterns in
1195lists enclosed between parentheses ( ) or braces { }, and
1196using the
1197.Cm or
1198operator as follows:
1199.Pp
1200.Dl "ipfw add 100 allow ip from { x or not y or z } to any"
1201.Pp
1202Only one level of parentheses is allowed.
1203Beware that most shells have special meanings for parentheses
1204or braces, so it is advisable to put a backslash \\ in front of them
1205to prevent such interpretations.
1206.Pp
1207The body of a rule must in general include a source and destination
1208address specifier.
1209The keyword
1210.Ar any
1211can be used in various places to specify that the content of
1212a required field is irrelevant.
1213.Pp
1214The rule body has the following format:
1215.Bd -ragged -offset indent
1216.Op Ar proto Cm from Ar src Cm to Ar dst
1217.Op Ar options
1218.Ed
1219.Pp
1220The first part (proto from src to dst) is for backward
1221compatibility with earlier versions of
1222.Fx .
1223In modern
1224.Fx
1225any match pattern (including MAC headers, IP protocols,
1226addresses and ports) can be specified in the
1227.Ar options
1228section.
1229.Pp
1230Rule fields have the following meaning:
1231.Bl -tag -width indent
1232.It Ar proto : protocol | Cm { Ar protocol Cm or ... }
1233.It Ar protocol : Oo Cm not Oc Ar protocol-name | protocol-number
1234An IP protocol specified by number or name
1235(for a complete list see
1236.Pa /etc/protocols ) ,
1237or one of the following keywords:
1238.Bl -tag -width indent
1239.It Cm ip4 | ipv4
1240Matches IPv4 packets.
1241.It Cm ip6 | ipv6
1242Matches IPv6 packets.
1243.It Cm ip | all
1244Matches any packet.
1245.El
1246.Pp
1247The
1248.Cm ipv6
1249in
1250.Cm proto
1251option will be treated as inner protocol.
1252And, the
1253.Cm ipv4
1254is not available in
1255.Cm proto
1256option.
1257.Pp
1258The
1259.Cm { Ar protocol Cm or ... }
1260format (an
1261.Em or-block )
1262is provided for convenience only but its use is deprecated.
1263.It Ar src No and Ar dst : Bro Cm addr | Cm { Ar addr Cm or ... } Brc Op Oo Cm not Oc Ar ports
1264An address (or a list, see below)
1265optionally followed by
1266.Ar ports
1267specifiers.
1268.Pp
1269The second format
1270.Em ( or-block
1271with multiple addresses) is provided for convenience only and
1272its use is discouraged.
1273.It Ar addr : Oo Cm not Oc Bro
1274.Cm any | me | me6 |
1275.Cm table Ns Pq Ar name Ns Op , Ns Ar value
1276.Ar | addr-list | addr-set
1277.Brc
1278.Bl -tag -width indent
1279.It Cm any
1280matches any IP address.
1281.It Cm me
1282matches any IP address configured on an interface in the system.
1283.It Cm me6
1284matches any IPv6 address configured on an interface in the system.
1285The address list is evaluated at the time the packet is
1286analysed.
1287.It Cm table Ns Pq Ar name Ns Op , Ns Ar value
1288Matches any IPv4 or IPv6 address for which an entry exists in the lookup table
1289.Ar number .
1290If an optional 32-bit unsigned
1291.Ar value
1292is also specified, an entry will match only if it has this value.
1293See the
1294.Sx LOOKUP TABLES
1295section below for more information on lookup tables.
1296.El
1297.It Ar addr-list : ip-addr Ns Op Ns , Ns Ar addr-list
1298.It Ar ip-addr :
1299A host or subnet address specified in one of the following ways:
1300.Bl -tag -width indent
1301.It Ar numeric-ip | hostname
1302Matches a single IPv4 address, specified as dotted-quad or a hostname.
1303Hostnames are resolved at the time the rule is added to the firewall list.
1304.It Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar masklen
1305Matches all addresses with base
1306.Ar addr
1307(specified as an IP address, a network number, or a hostname)
1308and mask width of
1309.Cm masklen
1310bits.
1311As an example, 1.2.3.4/25 or 1.2.3.0/25 will match
1312all IP numbers from 1.2.3.0 to 1.2.3.127 .
1313.It Ar addr Ns : Ns Ar mask
1314Matches all addresses with base
1315.Ar addr
1316(specified as an IP address, a network number, or a hostname)
1317and the mask of
1318.Ar mask ,
1319specified as a dotted quad.
1320As an example, 1.2.3.4:255.0.255.0 or 1.0.3.0:255.0.255.0 will match
13211.*.3.*.
1322This form is advised only for non-contiguous
1323masks.
1324It is better to resort to the
1325.Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar masklen
1326format for contiguous masks, which is more compact and less
1327error-prone.
1328.El
1329.It Ar addr-set : addr Ns Oo Ns / Ns Ar masklen Oc Ns Cm { Ns Ar list Ns Cm }
1330.It Ar list : Bro Ar num | num-num Brc Ns Op Ns , Ns Ar list
1331Matches all addresses with base address
1332.Ar addr
1333(specified as an IP address, a network number, or a hostname)
1334and whose last byte is in the list between braces { } .
1335Note that there must be no spaces between braces and
1336numbers (spaces after commas are allowed).
1337Elements of the list can be specified as single entries
1338or ranges.
1339The
1340.Ar masklen
1341field is used to limit the size of the set of addresses,
1342and can have any value between 24 and 32.
1343If not specified,
1344it will be assumed as 24.
1345.br
1346This format is particularly useful to handle sparse address sets
1347within a single rule.
1348Because the matching occurs using a
1349bitmask, it takes constant time and dramatically reduces
1350the complexity of rulesets.
1351.br
1352As an example, an address specified as 1.2.3.4/24{128,35-55,89}
1353or 1.2.3.0/24{128,35-55,89}
1354will match the following IP addresses:
1355.br
13561.2.3.128, 1.2.3.35 to 1.2.3.55, 1.2.3.89 .
1357.It Ar addr6-list : ip6-addr Ns Op Ns , Ns Ar addr6-list
1358.It Ar ip6-addr :
1359A host or subnet specified one of the following ways:
1360.Bl -tag -width indent
1361.It Ar numeric-ip | hostname
1362Matches a single IPv6 address as allowed by
1363.Xr inet_pton 3
1364or a hostname.
1365Hostnames are resolved at the time the rule is added to the firewall
1366list.
1367.It Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar masklen
1368Matches all IPv6 addresses with base
1369.Ar addr
1370(specified as allowed by
1371.Xr inet_pton
1372or a hostname)
1373and mask width of
1374.Cm masklen
1375bits.
1376.It Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar mask
1377Matches all IPv6 addresses with base
1378.Ar addr
1379(specified as allowed by
1380.Xr inet_pton
1381or a hostname)
1382and the mask of
1383.Ar mask ,
1384specified as allowed by
1385.Xr inet_pton.
1386As an example, fe::640:0:0/ffff::ffff:ffff:0:0 will match
1387fe:*:*:*:0:640:*:*.
1388This form is advised only for non-contiguous
1389masks.
1390It is better to resort to the
1391.Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar masklen
1392format for contiguous masks, which is more compact and less
1393error-prone.
1394.El
1395.Pp
1396No support for sets of IPv6 addresses is provided because IPv6 addresses
1397are typically random past the initial prefix.
1398.It Ar ports : Bro Ar port | port Ns \&- Ns Ar port Ns Brc Ns Op , Ns Ar ports
1399For protocols which support port numbers (such as TCP and UDP), optional
1400.Cm ports
1401may be specified as one or more ports or port ranges, separated
1402by commas but no spaces, and an optional
1403.Cm not
1404operator.
1405The
1406.Ql \&-
1407notation specifies a range of ports (including boundaries).
1408.Pp
1409Service names (from
1410.Pa /etc/services )
1411may be used instead of numeric port values.
1412The length of the port list is limited to 30 ports or ranges,
1413though one can specify larger ranges by using an
1414.Em or-block
1415in the
1416.Cm options
1417section of the rule.
1418.Pp
1419A backslash
1420.Pq Ql \e
1421can be used to escape the dash
1422.Pq Ql -
1423character in a service name (from a shell, the backslash must be
1424typed twice to avoid the shell itself interpreting it as an escape
1425character).
1426.Pp
1427.Dl "ipfw add count tcp from any ftp\e\e-data-ftp to any"
1428.Pp
1429Fragmented packets which have a non-zero offset (i.e., not the first
1430fragment) will never match a rule which has one or more port
1431specifications.
1432See the
1433.Cm frag
1434option for details on matching fragmented packets.
1435.El
1436.Ss RULE OPTIONS (MATCH PATTERNS)
1437Additional match patterns can be used within
1438rules.
1439Zero or more of these so-called
1440.Em options
1441can be present in a rule, optionally prefixed by the
1442.Cm not
1443operand, and possibly grouped into
1444.Em or-blocks .
1445.Pp
1446The following match patterns can be used (listed in alphabetical order):
1447.Bl -tag -width indent
1448.It Cm // this is a comment.
1449Inserts the specified text as a comment in the rule.
1450Everything following // is considered as a comment and stored in the rule.
1451You can have comment-only rules, which are listed as having a
1452.Cm count
1453action followed by the comment.
1454.It Cm bridged
1455Alias for
1456.Cm layer2 .
1457.It Cm diverted
1458Matches only packets generated by a divert socket.
1459.It Cm diverted-loopback
1460Matches only packets coming from a divert socket back into the IP stack
1461input for delivery.
1462.It Cm diverted-output
1463Matches only packets going from a divert socket back outward to the IP
1464stack output for delivery.
1465.It Cm dst-ip Ar ip-address
1466Matches IPv4 packets whose destination IP is one of the address(es)
1467specified as argument.
1468.It Bro Cm dst-ip6 | dst-ipv6 Brc Ar ip6-address
1469Matches IPv6 packets whose destination IP is one of the address(es)
1470specified as argument.
1471.It Cm dst-port Ar ports
1472Matches IP packets whose destination port is one of the port(s)
1473specified as argument.
1474.It Cm established
1475Matches TCP packets that have the RST or ACK bits set.
1476.It Cm ext6hdr Ar header
1477Matches IPv6 packets containing the extended header given by
1478.Ar header .
1479Supported headers are:

1499the given FIB (routing table) number.
1500.It Cm flow Ar table Ns Pq Ar name Ns Op , Ns Ar value
1501Search for the flow entry in lookup table
1502.Ar name .
1503If not found, the match fails.
1504Otherwise, the match succeeds and
1505.Cm tablearg
1506is set to the value extracted from the table.
1507.Pp
1508This option can be useful to quickly dispatch traffic based on
1509certain packet fields.
1510See the
1511.Sx LOOKUP TABLES
1512section below for more information on lookup tables.
1513.It Cm flow-id Ar labels
1514Matches IPv6 packets containing any of the flow labels given in
1515.Ar labels .
1516.Ar labels
1517is a comma separated list of numeric flow labels.
1518.It Cm frag
1519Matches packets that are fragments and not the first
1520fragment of an IP datagram.
1521Note that these packets will not have
1522the next protocol header (e.g.\& TCP, UDP) so options that look into
1523these headers cannot match.
1524.It Cm gid Ar group
1525Matches all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for a
1526.Ar group .
1527A
1528.Ar group
1529may be specified by name or number.
1530.It Cm jail Ar prisonID
1531Matches all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for the
1532jail whos prison ID is
1533.Ar prisonID .
1534.It Cm icmptypes Ar types
1535Matches ICMP packets whose ICMP type is in the list
1536.Ar types .
1537The list may be specified as any combination of

1574.Ar types .
1575The list may be specified as any combination of
1576individual types (numeric) separated by commas.
1577.Em Ranges are not allowed .
1578.It Cm in | out
1579Matches incoming or outgoing packets, respectively.
1580.Cm in
1581and
1582.Cm out
1583are mutually exclusive (in fact,
1584.Cm out
1585is implemented as
1586.Cm not in Ns No ).
1587.It Cm ipid Ar id-list
1588Matches IPv4 packets whose
1589.Cm ip_id
1590field has value included in
1591.Ar id-list ,
1592which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
1593specified in the same way as
1594.Ar ports .
1595.It Cm iplen Ar len-list
1596Matches IP packets whose total length, including header and data, is
1597in the set
1598.Ar len-list ,

1600specified in the same way as
1601.Ar ports .
1602.It Cm ipoptions Ar spec
1603Matches packets whose IPv4 header contains the comma separated list of
1604options specified in
1605.Ar spec .
1606The supported IP options are:
1607.Pp
1608.Cm ssrr
1609(strict source route),
1610.Cm lsrr
1611(loose source route),
1612.Cm rr
1613(record packet route) and
1614.Cm ts
1615(timestamp).
1616The absence of a particular option may be denoted
1617with a
1618.Ql \&! .
1619.It Cm ipprecedence Ar precedence
1620Matches IPv4 packets whose precedence field is equal to
1621.Ar precedence .
1622.It Cm ipsec
1623Matches packets that have IPSEC history associated with them
1624(i.e., the packet comes encapsulated in IPSEC, the kernel
1625has IPSEC support, and can correctly decapsulate it).
1626.Pp
1627Note that specifying
1628.Cm ipsec
1629is different from specifying
1630.Cm proto Ar ipsec
1631as the latter will only look at the specific IP protocol field,
1632irrespective of IPSEC kernel support and the validity of the IPSEC data.
1633.Pp
1634Further note that this flag is silently ignored in kernels without
1635IPSEC support.
1636It does not affect rule processing when given and the
1637rules are handled as if with no
1638.Cm ipsec
1639flag.
1640.It Cm iptos Ar spec
1641Matches IPv4 packets whose
1642.Cm tos
1643field contains the comma separated list of

1658The absence of a particular type may be denoted
1659with a
1660.Ql \&! .
1661.It Cm dscp spec Ns Op , Ns Ar spec
1662Matches IPv4/IPv6 packets whose
1663.Cm DS
1664field value is contained in
1665.Ar spec
1666mask.
1667Multiple values can be specified via
1668the comma separated list.
1669Value can be one of keywords used in
1670.Cm setdscp
1671action or exact number.
1672.It Cm ipttl Ar ttl-list
1673Matches IPv4 packets whose time to live is included in
1674.Ar ttl-list ,
1675which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
1676specified in the same way as
1677.Ar ports .
1678.It Cm ipversion Ar ver
1679Matches IP packets whose IP version field is
1680.Ar ver .
1681.It Cm keep-state Op Ar :flowname
1682Upon a match, the firewall will create a dynamic rule, whose
1683default behaviour is to match bidirectional traffic between
1684source and destination IP/port using the same protocol.
1685The rule has a limited lifetime (controlled by a set of
1686.Xr sysctl 8
1687variables), and the lifetime is refreshed every time a matching
1688packet is found.
1689The
1690.Ar :flowname
1691is used to assign additional to addresses, ports and protocol parameter
1692to dynamic rule. It can be used for more accurate matching by
1693.Cm check-state
1694rule.
1695The
1696.Cm :default
1697keyword is special name used for compatibility with old rulesets.
1698.It Cm layer2
1699Matches only layer2 packets, i.e., those passed to
1700.Nm
1701from ether_demux() and ether_output_frame().
1702.It Cm limit Bro Cm src-addr | src-port | dst-addr | dst-port Brc Ar N Op Ar :flowname
1703The firewall will only allow
1704.Ar N
1705connections with the same
1706set of parameters as specified in the rule.
1707One or more
1708of source and destination addresses and ports can be
1709specified.
1710.It Cm lookup Bro Cm dst-ip | dst-port | src-ip | src-port | uid | jail Brc Ar name
1711Search an entry in lookup table
1712.Ar name
1713that matches the field specified as argument.
1714If not found, the match fails.
1715Otherwise, the match succeeds and
1716.Cm tablearg
1717is set to the value extracted from the table.
1718.Pp
1719This option can be useful to quickly dispatch traffic based on
1720certain packet fields.
1721See the
1722.Sx LOOKUP TABLES
1723section below for more information on lookup tables.
1724.It Cm { MAC | mac } Ar dst-mac src-mac
1725Match packets with a given
1726.Ar dst-mac
1727and
1728.Ar src-mac
1729addresses, specified as the
1730.Cm any
1731keyword (matching any MAC address), or six groups of hex digits
1732separated by colons,
1733and optionally followed by a mask indicating the significant bits.
1734The mask may be specified using either of the following methods:
1735.Bl -enum -width indent
1736.It
1737A slash
1738.Pq /
1739followed by the number of significant bits.
1740For example, an address with 33 significant bits could be specified as:
1741.Pp
1742.Dl "MAC 10:20:30:40:50:60/33 any"
1743.It
1744An ampersand
1745.Pq &
1746followed by a bitmask specified as six groups of hex digits separated
1747by colons.
1748For example, an address in which the last 16 bits are significant could
1749be specified as:
1750.Pp
1751.Dl "MAC 10:20:30:40:50:60&00:00:00:00:ff:ff any"
1752.Pp
1753Note that the ampersand character has a special meaning in many shells
1754and should generally be escaped.
1755.El
1756Note that the order of MAC addresses (destination first,
1757source second) is
1758the same as on the wire, but the opposite of the one used for
1759IP addresses.
1760.It Cm mac-type Ar mac-type
1761Matches packets whose Ethernet Type field
1762corresponds to one of those specified as argument.
1763.Ar mac-type
1764is specified in the same way as
1765.Cm port numbers
1766(i.e., one or more comma-separated single values or ranges).
1767You can use symbolic names for known values such as
1768.Em vlan , ipv4, ipv6 .
1769Values can be entered as decimal or hexadecimal (if prefixed by 0x),
1770and they are always printed as hexadecimal (unless the
1771.Cm -N
1772option is used, in which case symbolic resolution will be attempted).
1773.It Cm proto Ar protocol
1774Matches packets with the corresponding IP protocol.
1775.It Cm recv | xmit | via Brq Ar ifX | Ar if Ns Cm * | Ar table Ns Po Ar name Ns Oo , Ns Ar value Oc Pc | Ar ipno | Ar any
1776Matches packets received, transmitted or going through,
1777respectively, the interface specified by exact name
1778.Po Ar ifX Pc ,
1779by device name
1780.Po Ar if* Pc ,
1781by IP address, or through some interface.
1782Table
1783.Ar name

1791keyword causes the interface to always be checked.
1792If
1793.Cm recv
1794or
1795.Cm xmit
1796is used instead of
1797.Cm via ,
1798then only the receive or transmit interface (respectively)
1799is checked.
1800By specifying both, it is possible to match packets based on
1801both receive and transmit interface, e.g.:
1802.Pp
1803.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from any to any out recv ed0 xmit ed1"
1804.Pp
1805The
1806.Cm recv
1807interface can be tested on either incoming or outgoing packets,
1808while the
1809.Cm xmit
1810interface can only be tested on outgoing packets.
1811So
1812.Cm out
1813is required (and
1814.Cm in
1815is invalid) whenever
1816.Cm xmit
1817is used.
1818.Pp
1819A packet might not have a receive or transmit interface: packets
1820originating from the local host have no receive interface,
1821while packets destined for the local host have no transmit
1822interface.
1823.It Cm setup
1824Matches TCP packets that have the SYN bit set but no ACK bit.
1825This is the short form of
1826.Dq Li tcpflags\ syn,!ack .
1827.It Cm sockarg
1828Matches packets that are associated to a local socket and
1829for which the SO_USER_COOKIE socket option has been set
1830to a non-zero value.
1831As a side effect, the value of the
1832option is made available as
1833.Cm tablearg
1834value, which in turn can be used as
1835.Cm skipto
1836or
1837.Cm pipe
1838number.
1839.It Cm src-ip Ar ip-address
1840Matches IPv4 packets whose source IP is one of the address(es)
1841specified as an argument.
1842.It Cm src-ip6 Ar ip6-address
1843Matches IPv6 packets whose source IP is one of the address(es)
1844specified as an argument.
1845.It Cm src-port Ar ports
1846Matches IP packets whose source port is one of the port(s)
1847specified as argument.
1848.It Cm tagged Ar tag-list
1849Matches packets whose tags are included in
1850.Ar tag-list ,
1851which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
1852specified in the same way as
1853.Ar ports .
1854Tags can be applied to the packet using
1855.Cm tag
1856rule action parameter (see it's description for details on tags).
1857.It Cm tcpack Ar ack
1858TCP packets only.
1859Match if the TCP header acknowledgment number field is set to
1860.Ar ack .
1861.It Cm tcpdatalen Ar tcpdatalen-list
1862Matches TCP packets whose length of TCP data is
1863.Ar tcpdatalen-list ,
1864which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
1865specified in the same way as
1866.Ar ports .
1867.It Cm tcpflags Ar spec
1868TCP packets only.
1869Match if the TCP header contains the comma separated list of
1870flags specified in
1871.Ar spec .
1872The supported TCP flags are:
1873.Pp
1874.Cm fin ,
1875.Cm syn ,
1876.Cm rst ,
1877.Cm psh ,
1878.Cm ack
1879and
1880.Cm urg .
1881The absence of a particular flag may be denoted
1882with a
1883.Ql \&! .
1884A rule which contains a
1885.Cm tcpflags
1886specification can never match a fragmented packet which has
1887a non-zero offset.
1888See the
1889.Cm frag
1890option for details on matching fragmented packets.
1891.It Cm tcpseq Ar seq
1892TCP packets only.
1893Match if the TCP header sequence number field is set to
1894.Ar seq .
1895.It Cm tcpwin Ar tcpwin-list
1896Matches TCP packets whose  header window field is set to
1897.Ar tcpwin-list ,
1898which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
1899specified in the same way as
1900.Ar ports .
1901.It Cm tcpoptions Ar spec
1902TCP packets only.
1903Match if the TCP header contains the comma separated list of
1904options specified in
1905.Ar spec .
1906The supported TCP options are:
1907.Pp
1908.Cm mss
1909(maximum segment size),
1910.Cm window
1911(tcp window advertisement),
1912.Cm sack
1913(selective ack),
1914.Cm ts
1915(rfc1323 timestamp) and
1916.Cm cc
1917(rfc1644 t/tcp connection count).
1918The absence of a particular option may be denoted
1919with a
1920.Ql \&! .
1921.It Cm uid Ar user
1922Match all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for a
1923.Ar user .
1924A
1925.Ar user
1926may be matched by name or identification number.
1927.It Cm verrevpath
1928For incoming packets,
1929a routing table lookup is done on the packet's source address.
1930If the interface on which the packet entered the system matches the
1931outgoing interface for the route,
1932the packet matches.
1933If the interfaces do not match up,
1934the packet does not match.
1935All outgoing packets or packets with no incoming interface match.
1936.Pp
1937The name and functionality of the option is intentionally similar to
1938the Cisco IOS command:
1939.Pp
1940.Dl ip verify unicast reverse-path
1941.Pp
1942This option can be used to make anti-spoofing rules to reject all
1943packets with source addresses not from this interface.
1944See also the option
1945.Cm antispoof .
1946.It Cm versrcreach
1947For incoming packets,
1948a routing table lookup is done on the packet's source address.
1949If a route to the source address exists, but not the default route
1950or a blackhole/reject route, the packet matches.
1951Otherwise, the packet does not match.
1952All outgoing packets match.
1953.Pp
1954The name and functionality of the option is intentionally similar to
1955the Cisco IOS command:
1956.Pp
1957.Dl ip verify unicast source reachable-via any
1958.Pp
1959This option can be used to make anti-spoofing rules to reject all
1960packets whose source address is unreachable.
1961.It Cm antispoof
1962For incoming packets, the packet's source address is checked if it
1963belongs to a directly connected network.
1964If the network is directly connected, then the interface the packet
1965came on in is compared to the interface the network is connected to.
1966When incoming interface and directly connected interface are not the
1967same, the packet does not match.
1968Otherwise, the packet does match.
1969All outgoing packets match.
1970.Pp
1971This option can be used to make anti-spoofing rules to reject all
1972packets that pretend to be from a directly connected network but do
1973not come in through that interface.
1974This option is similar to but more restricted than
1975.Cm verrevpath
1976because it engages only on packets with source addresses of directly
1977connected networks instead of all source addresses.
1978.El
1979.Sh LOOKUP TABLES
1980Lookup tables are useful to handle large sparse sets of
1981addresses or other search keys (e.g., ports, jail IDs, interface names).
1982In the rest of this section we will use the term ``key''.
1983Table name needs to match the following spec:
1984.Ar table-name .
1985Tables with the same name can be created in different
1986.Ar sets .
1987However, rule links to the tables in
1988.Ar set 0
1989by default.
1990This behavior can be controlled by
1991.Va net.inet.ip.fw.tables_sets
1992variable.
1993See the
1994.Sx SETS OF RULES
1995section for more information.
1996There may be up to 65535 different lookup tables.
1997.Pp
1998The following table types are supported:
1999.Bl -tag -width indent
2000.It Ar table-type : Ar addr | iface | number | flow
2001.It Ar table-key : Ar addr Ns Oo / Ns Ar masklen Oc | iface-name | number | flow-spec
2002.It Ar flow-spec : Ar flow-field Ns Op , Ns Ar flow-spec
2003.It Ar flow-field : src-ip | proto | src-port | dst-ip | dst-port
2004.It Cm addr
2005matches IPv4 or IPv6 address.
2006Each entry is represented by an
2007.Ar addr Ns Op / Ns Ar masklen
2008and will match all addresses with base
2009.Ar addr
2010(specified as an IPv4/IPv6 address, or a hostname) and mask width of
2011.Ar masklen
2012bits.
2013If
2014.Ar masklen
2015is not specified, it defaults to 32 for IPv4 and 128 for IPv6.
2016When looking up an IP address in a table, the most specific
2017entry will match.
2018.It Cm iface
2019matches interface names.
2020Each entry is represented by string treated as interface name.
2021Wildcards are not supported.
2022.It Cm number
2023maches protocol ports, uids/gids or jail IDs.
2024Each entry is represented by 32-bit unsigned integer.
2025Ranges are not supported.
2026.It Cm flow
2027Matches packet fields specified by
2028.Ar flow
2029type suboptions with table entries.
2030.El
2031.Pp
2032Tables require explicit creation via
2033.Cm create
2034before use.
2035.Pp
2036The following creation options are supported:
2037.Bl -tag -width indent
2038.It Ar create-options : Ar create-option | create-options
2039.It Ar create-option : Cm type Ar table-type | Cm valtype Ar value-mask | Cm algo Ar algo-desc |

2046Table algorithm to use (see below).
2047.It Cm limit
2048Maximum number of items that may be inserted into table.
2049.It Cm locked
2050Restrict any table modifications.
2051.El
2052.Pp
2053Some of these options may be modified later via
2054.Cm modify
2055keyword.
2056The following options can be changed:
2057.Bl -tag -width indent
2058.It Ar modify-options : Ar modify-option | modify-options
2059.It Ar modify-option : Cm limit Ar number
2060.It Cm limit
2061Alter maximum number of items that may be inserted into table.
2062.El
2063.Pp
2064Additionally, table can be locked or unlocked using
2065.Cm lock
2066or
2067.Cm unlock
2068commands.
2069.Pp
2070Tables of the same
2071.Ar type
2072can be swapped with each other using
2073.Cm swap Ar name
2074command.
2075Swap may fail if tables limits are set and data exchange
2076would result in limits hit.
2077Operation is performed atomically.
2078.Pp
2079One or more entries can be added to a table at once using
2080.Cm add
2081command.
2082Addition of all items are performed atomically.
2083By default, error in addition of one entry does not influence
2084addition of other entries. However, non-zero error code is returned
2085in that case.
2086Special
2087.Cm atomic
2088keyword may be specified before
2089.Cm add
2090to indicate all-or-none add request.
2091.Pp
2092One or more entries can be removed from a table at once using
2093.Cm delete
2094command.
2095By default, error in removal of one entry does not influence
2096removing of other entries. However, non-zero error code is returned
2097in that case.
2098.Pp
2099It may be possible to check what entry will be found on particular
2100.Ar table-key
2101using
2102.Cm lookup
2103.Ar table-key
2104command.
2105This functionality is optional and may be unsupported in some algorithms.
2106.Pp
2107The following operations can be performed on
2108.Ar one
2109or
2110.Cm all
2111tables:
2112.Bl -tag -width indent
2113.It Cm list
2114List all entries.
2115.It Cm flush
2116Removes all entries.
2117.It Cm info
2118Shows generic table information.
2119.It Cm detail
2120Shows generic table information and algo-specific data.
2121.El
2122.Pp
2123The following lookup algorithms are supported:
2124.Bl -tag -width indent
2125.It Ar algo-desc : algo-name | "algo-name algo-data"
2126.It Ar algo-name: Ar addr:radix | addr:hash | iface:array | number:array | flow:hash
2127.It Cm addr:radix
2128Separate Radix trees for IPv4 and IPv6, the same way as the routing table (see
2129.Xr route 4 ) .
2130Default choice for
2131.Ar addr
2132type.
2133.It Cm addr:hash
2134Separate auto-growing hashes for IPv4 and IPv6.
2135Accepts entries with the same mask length specified initially via
2136.Cm "addr:hash masks=/v4,/v6"
2137algorithm creation options.
2138Assume /32 and /128 masks by default.
2139Search removes host bits (according to mask) from supplied address and checks
2140resulting key in appropriate hash.
2141Mostly optimized for /64 and byte-ranged IPv6 masks.
2142.It Cm iface:array
2143Array storing sorted indexes for entries which are presented in the system.
2144Optimized for very fast lookup.
2145.It Cm number:array
2146Array storing sorted u32 numbers.
2147.It Cm flow:hash
2148Auto-growing hash storing flow entries.
2149Search calculates hash on required packet fields and searches for matching
2150entries in selected bucket.
2151.El
2152.Pp
2153The
2154.Cm tablearg
2155feature provides the ability to use a value, looked up in the table, as
2156the argument for a rule action, action parameter or rule option.
2157This can significantly reduce number of rules in some configurations.
2158If two tables are used in a rule, the result of the second (destination)
2159is used.
2160.Pp
2161Each record may hold one or more values according to
2162.Ar value-mask .
2163This mask is set on table creation via
2164.Cm valtype
2165option.
2166The following value types are supported:
2167.Bl -tag -width indent
2168.It Ar value-mask : Ar value-type Ns Op , Ns Ar value-mask

2193.El
2194.Pp
2195The
2196.Cm tablearg
2197argument can be used with the following actions:
2198.Cm nat, pipe , queue, divert, tee, netgraph, ngtee, fwd, skipto, setfib,
2199action parameters:
2200.Cm tag, untag,
2201rule options:
2202.Cm limit, tagged.
2203.Pp
2204When used with the
2205.Cm skipto
2206action, the user should be aware that the code will walk the ruleset
2207up to a rule equal to, or past, the given number.
2208.Pp
2209See the
2210.Sx EXAMPLES
2211Section for example usage of tables and the tablearg keyword.
2212.Sh SETS OF RULES
2213Each rule or table belongs to one of 32 different
2214.Em sets
2215, numbered 0 to 31.
2216Set 31 is reserved for the default rule.
2217.Pp
2218By default, rules or tables are put in set 0, unless you use the
2219.Cm set N
2220attribute when adding a new rule or table.
2221Sets can be individually and atomically enabled or disabled,
2222so this mechanism permits an easy way to store multiple configurations
2223of the firewall and quickly (and atomically) switch between them.
2224.Pp
2225By default, tables from set 0 are referenced when adding rule with
2226table opcodes regardless of rule set.
2227This behavior can be changed by setting
2228.Va net.inet.ip.fw.tables_set
2229variable to 1.
2230Rule's set will then be used for table references.
2231.Pp
2232The command to enable/disable sets is
2233.Bd -ragged -offset indent
2234.Nm
2235.Cm set Oo Cm disable Ar number ... Oc Op Cm enable Ar number ...
2236.Ed
2237.Pp
2238where multiple
2239.Cm enable
2240or
2241.Cm disable
2242sections can be specified.
2243Command execution is atomic on all the sets specified in the command.
2244By default, all sets are enabled.
2245.Pp
2246When you disable a set, its rules behave as if they do not exist
2247in the firewall configuration, with only one exception:
2248.Bd -ragged -offset indent
2249dynamic rules created from a rule before it had been disabled
2250will still be active until they expire.
2251In order to delete
2252dynamic rules you have to explicitly delete the parent rule
2253which generated them.
2254.Ed
2255.Pp
2256The set number of rules can be changed with the command
2257.Bd -ragged -offset indent
2258.Nm
2259.Cm set move
2260.Brq Cm rule Ar rule-number | old-set
2261.Cm to Ar new-set
2262.Ed
2263.Pp
2264Also, you can atomically swap two rulesets with the command
2265.Bd -ragged -offset indent
2266.Nm
2267.Cm set swap Ar first-set second-set
2268.Ed
2269.Pp
2270See the
2271.Sx EXAMPLES
2272Section on some possible uses of sets of rules.
2273.Sh STATEFUL FIREWALL
2274Stateful operation is a way for the firewall to dynamically
2275create rules for specific flows when packets that
2276match a given pattern are detected.
2277Support for stateful
2278operation comes through the
2279.Cm check-state , keep-state
2280and
2281.Cm limit
2282options of
2283.Nm rules .
2284.Pp
2285Dynamic rules are created when a packet matches a
2286.Cm keep-state
2287or
2288.Cm limit
2289rule, causing the creation of a
2290.Em dynamic
2291rule which will match all and only packets with
2292a given
2293.Em protocol
2294between a
2295.Em src-ip/src-port dst-ip/dst-port
2296pair of addresses
2297.Em ( src
2298and
2299.Em dst
2300are used here only to denote the initial match addresses, but they
2301are completely equivalent afterwards).
2302Rules created by
2303.Cm keep-state
2304option also have a
2305.Ar :flowname
2306taken from it.
2307This name is used in matching together with addresses, ports and protocol.
2308Dynamic rules will be checked at the first
2309.Cm check-state, keep-state
2310or
2311.Cm limit
2312occurrence, and the action performed upon a match will be the same
2313as in the parent rule.
2314.Pp
2315Note that no additional attributes other than protocol and IP addresses
2316and ports and :flowname are checked on dynamic rules.
2317.Pp
2318The typical use of dynamic rules is to keep a closed firewall configuration,
2319but let the first TCP SYN packet from the inside network install a
2320dynamic rule for the flow so that packets belonging to that session
2321will be allowed through the firewall:
2322.Pp
2323.Dl "ipfw add check-state :OUTBOUND"
2324.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from my-subnet to any setup keep-state :OUTBOUND"
2325.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from any to any"
2326.Pp
2327A similar approach can be used for UDP, where an UDP packet coming
2328from the inside will install a dynamic rule to let the response through
2329the firewall:
2330.Pp
2331.Dl "ipfw add check-state :OUTBOUND"
2332.Dl "ipfw add allow udp from my-subnet to any keep-state :OUTBOUND"
2333.Dl "ipfw add deny udp from any to any"
2334.Pp
2335Dynamic rules expire after some time, which depends on the status
2336of the flow and the setting of some
2337.Cm sysctl
2338variables.
2339See Section
2340.Sx SYSCTL VARIABLES
2341for more details.
2342For TCP sessions, dynamic rules can be instructed to periodically
2343send keepalive packets to refresh the state of the rule when it is
2344about to expire.
2345.Pp
2346See Section
2347.Sx EXAMPLES
2348for more examples on how to use dynamic rules.
2349.Sh TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION
2350.Nm
2351is also the user interface for the
2352.Nm dummynet
2353traffic shaper, packet scheduler and network emulator, a subsystem that
2354can artificially queue, delay or drop packets
2355emulating the behaviour of certain network links
2356or queueing systems.
2357.Pp
2358.Nm dummynet
2359operates by first using the firewall to select packets
2360using any match pattern that can be used in
2361.Nm
2362rules.
2363Matching packets are then passed to either of two
2364different objects, which implement the traffic regulation:
2365.Bl -hang -offset XXXX
2366.It Em pipe
2367A
2368.Em pipe
2369emulates a
2370.Em link
2371with given bandwidth and propagation delay,
2372driven by a FIFO scheduler and a single queue with programmable
2373queue size and packet loss rate.
2374Packets are appended to the queue as they come out from
2375.Nm ipfw ,
2376and then transferred in FIFO order to the link at the desired rate.
2377.It Em queue
2378A
2379.Em queue
2380is an abstraction used to implement packet scheduling
2381using one of several packet scheduling algorithms.
2382Packets sent to a
2383.Em queue
2384are first grouped into flows according to a mask on the 5-tuple.
2385Flows are then passed to the scheduler associated to the
2386.Em queue ,
2387and each flow uses scheduling parameters (weight and others)
2388as configured in the
2389.Em queue
2390itself.
2391A scheduler in turn is connected to an emulated link,
2392and arbitrates the link's bandwidth among backlogged flows according to
2393weights and to the features of the scheduling algorithm in use.
2394.El
2395.Pp
2396In practice,
2397.Em pipes
2398can be used to set hard limits to the bandwidth that a flow can use, whereas
2399.Em queues
2400can be used to determine how different flows share the available bandwidth.

2418.Ed
2419It is important to understand the role of the SCHED_MASK
2420and FLOW_MASK, which are configured through the commands
2421.Dl "ipfw sched N config mask SCHED_MASK ..."
2422and
2423.Dl "ipfw queue X config mask FLOW_MASK ..." .
2424.Pp
2425The SCHED_MASK is used to assign flows to one or more
2426scheduler instances, one for each
2427value of the packet's 5-tuple after applying SCHED_MASK.
2428As an example, using ``src-ip 0xffffff00'' creates one instance
2429for each /24 destination subnet.
2430.Pp
2431The FLOW_MASK, together with the SCHED_MASK, is used to split
2432packets into flows.
2433As an example, using
2434``src-ip 0x000000ff''
2435together with the previous SCHED_MASK makes a flow for
2436each individual source address.
2437In turn, flows for each /24
2438subnet will be sent to the same scheduler instance.
2439.Pp
2440The above diagram holds even for the
2441.Em pipe
2442case, with the only restriction that a
2443.Em pipe
2444only supports a SCHED_MASK, and forces the use of a FIFO
2445scheduler (these are for backward compatibility reasons;
2446in fact, internally, a
2447.Nm dummynet's
2448pipe is implemented exactly as above).
2449.Pp
2450There are two modes of
2451.Nm dummynet
2452operation:
2453.Dq normal
2454and
2455.Dq fast .
2456The
2457.Dq normal
2458mode tries to emulate a real link: the
2459.Nm dummynet
2460scheduler ensures that the packet will not leave the pipe faster than it
2461would on the real link with a given bandwidth.
2462The
2463.Dq fast
2464mode allows certain packets to bypass the
2465.Nm dummynet
2466scheduler (if packet flow does not exceed pipe's bandwidth).
2467This is the reason why the
2468.Dq fast
2469mode requires less CPU cycles per packet (on average) and packet latency
2470can be significantly lower in comparison to a real link with the same
2471bandwidth.
2472The default mode is
2473.Dq normal .
2474The
2475.Dq fast
2476mode can be enabled by setting the
2477.Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast
2478.Xr sysctl 8
2479variable to a non-zero value.

2481.Ss PIPE, QUEUE AND SCHEDULER CONFIGURATION

2504.Sm on
2505.Pp
2506A value of 0 (default) means unlimited bandwidth.
2507The unit must immediately follow the number, as in
2508.Pp
2509.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 300Kbit/s"
2510.Pp
2511If a device name is specified instead of a numeric value, as in
2512.Pp
2513.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw tun0"
2514.Pp
2515then the transmit clock is supplied by the specified device.
2516At the moment only the
2517.Xr tun 4
2518device supports this
2519functionality, for use in conjunction with
2520.Xr ppp 8 .
2521.Pp
2522.It Cm delay Ar ms-delay
2523Propagation delay, measured in milliseconds.
2524The value is rounded to the next multiple of the clock tick
2525(typically 10ms, but it is a good practice to run kernels
2526with
2527.Dq "options HZ=1000"
2528to reduce
2529the granularity to 1ms or less).
2530The default value is 0, meaning no delay.
2531.Pp
2532.It Cm burst Ar size
2533If the data to be sent exceeds the pipe's bandwidth limit
2534(and the pipe was previously idle), up to
2535.Ar size
2536bytes of data are allowed to bypass the
2537.Nm dummynet
2538scheduler, and will be sent as fast as the physical link allows.
2539Any additional data will be transmitted at the rate specified
2540by the
2541.Nm pipe
2542bandwidth.
2543The burst size depends on how long the pipe has been idle;
2544the effective burst size is calculated as follows:
2545MAX(
2546.Ar size
2547,
2548.Nm bw
2549* pipe_idle_time).
2550.Pp
2551.It Cm profile Ar filename
2552A file specifying the additional overhead incurred in the transmission
2553of a packet on the link.
2554.Pp
2555Some link types introduce extra delays in the transmission
2556of a packet, e.g., because of MAC level framing, contention on
2557the use of the channel, MAC level retransmissions and so on.
2558From our point of view, the channel is effectively unavailable
2559for this extra time, which is constant or variable depending
2560on the link type.
2561Additionally, packets may be dropped after this
2562time (e.g., on a wireless link after too many retransmissions).
2563We can model the additional delay with an empirical curve
2564that represents its distribution.

2579The empirical curve may have both vertical and horizontal lines.
2580Vertical lines represent constant delay for a range of
2581probabilities.
2582Horizontal lines correspond to a discontinuity in the delay
2583distribution: the pipe will use the largest delay for a
2584given probability.

2652specifies the scheduling algorithm to use.
2653.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
2654.It Cm fifo
2655is just a FIFO scheduler (which means that all packets
2656are stored in the same queue as they arrive to the scheduler).
2657FIFO has O(1) per-packet time complexity, with very low
2658constants (estimate 60-80ns on a 2GHz desktop machine)
2659but gives no service guarantees.
2660.It Cm wf2q+
2661implements the WF2Q+ algorithm, which is a Weighted Fair Queueing
2662algorithm which permits flows to share bandwidth according to
2663their weights.
2664Note that weights are not priorities; even a flow
2665with a minuscule weight will never starve.
2666WF2Q+ has O(log N) per-packet processing cost, where N is the number
2667of flows, and is the default algorithm used by previous versions
2668dummynet's queues.
2669.It Cm rr
2670implements the Deficit Round Robin algorithm, which has O(1) processing
2671costs (roughly, 100-150ns per packet)
2672and permits bandwidth allocation according to weights, but
2673with poor service guarantees.
2674.It Cm qfq
2675implements the QFQ algorithm, which is a very fast variant of
2676WF2Q+, with similar service guarantees and O(1) processing
2677costs (roughly, 200-250ns per packet).
2678.El

2681In addition to the type, all parameters allowed for a pipe can also
2682be specified for a scheduler.

2684Finally, the following parameters can be configured for both
2685pipes and queues:
2686.Pp
2687.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact
2688.It Cm buckets Ar hash-table-size
2689Specifies the size of the hash table used for storing the
2690various queues.
2691Default value is 64 controlled by the
2692.Xr sysctl 8
2693variable
2694.Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size ,
2695allowed range is 16 to 65536.
2696.Pp
2697.It Cm mask Ar mask-specifier
2698Packets sent to a given pipe or queue by an
2699.Nm
2700rule can be further classified into multiple flows, each of which is then
2701sent to a different
2702.Em dynamic
2703pipe or queue.
2704A flow identifier is constructed by masking the IP addresses,
2705ports and protocol types as specified with the
2706.Cm mask
2707options in the configuration of the pipe or queue.
2708For each different flow identifier, a new pipe or queue is created
2709with the same parameters as the original object, and matching packets
2710are sent to it.
2711.Pp
2712Thus, when
2713.Em dynamic pipes
2714are used, each flow will get the same bandwidth as defined by the pipe,
2715whereas when
2716.Em dynamic queues
2717are used, each flow will share the parent's pipe bandwidth evenly
2718with other flows generated by the same queue (note that other queues
2719with different weights might be connected to the same pipe).

2736.It Cm noerror
2737When a packet is dropped by a
2738.Nm dummynet
2739queue or pipe, the error
2740is normally reported to the caller routine in the kernel, in the
2741same way as it happens when a device queue fills up.
2742Setting this
2743option reports the packet as successfully delivered, which can be
2744needed for some experimental setups where you want to simulate
2745loss or congestion at a remote router.

2748Packet loss rate.
2749Argument
2750.Ar packet-loss-rate
2751is a floating-point number between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning no
2752loss, 1 meaning 100% loss.
2753The loss rate is internally represented on 31 bits.
2754.Pp
2755.It Cm queue Brq Ar slots | size Ns Cm Kbytes
2756Queue size, in
2757.Ar slots
2758or
2759.Cm KBytes .
2760Default value is 50 slots, which
2761is the typical queue size for Ethernet devices.
2762Note that for slow speed links you should keep the queue
2763size short or your traffic might be affected by a significant
2764queueing delay.
2765E.g., 50 max-sized ethernet packets (1500 bytes) mean 600Kbit
2766or 20s of queue on a 30Kbit/s pipe.
2767Even worse effects can result if you get packets from an
2768interface with a much larger MTU, e.g.\& the loopback interface
2769with its 16KB packets.

2790(thresholds are computed in bytes if the queue has been defined
2791in bytes, in slots otherwise).
2792The two parameters can also be of the same value if needed. The
2793.Nm dummynet
2794also supports the gentle RED variant (gred) and ECN (Explicit Congestion
2795Notification) as optional. Three

2808.El
2809.El
2810.Pp
2811When used with IPv6 data,

2813currently has several limitations.
2814Information necessary to route link-local packets to an
2815interface is not available after processing by
2816.Nm dummynet
2817so those packets are dropped in the output path.
2818Care should be taken to ensure that link-local packets are not passed to
2819.Nm dummynet .

2821Here are some important points to consider when designing your

2823.Bl -bullet
2824.It
2825Remember that you filter both packets going
2826.Cm in
2827and
2828.Cm out .
2829Most connections need packets going in both directions.
2830.It
2831Remember to test very carefully.
2832It is a good idea to be near the console when doing this.
2833If you cannot be near the console,
2834use an auto-recovery script such as the one in
2835.Pa /usr/share/examples/ipfw/change_rules.sh .
2836.It
2837Do not forget the loopback interface.
2838.El
2839.Sh FINE POINTS
2840.Bl -bullet
2841.It
2842There are circumstances where fragmented datagrams are unconditionally
2843dropped.
2844TCP packets are dropped if they do not contain at least 20 bytes of
2845TCP header, UDP packets are dropped if they do not contain a full 8
2846byte UDP header, and ICMP packets are dropped if they do not contain
28474 bytes of ICMP header, enough to specify the ICMP type, code, and
2848checksum.
2849These packets are simply logged as
2850.Dq pullup failed
2851since there may not be enough good data in the packet to produce a
2852meaningful log entry.
2853.It
2854Another type of packet is unconditionally dropped, a TCP packet with a
2855fragment offset of one.
2856This is a valid packet, but it only has one use, to try
2857to circumvent firewalls.
2858When logging is enabled, these packets are
2859reported as being dropped by rule -1.
2860.It
2861If you are logged in over a network, loading the
2862.Xr kld 4
2863version of
2864.Nm
2865is probably not as straightforward as you would think.
2866The following command line is recommended:

2976.Ss SCTP NAT SUPPORT
2977SCTP nat can be configured in a similar manner to TCP through the
2978.Nm
2979command line tool.
2980The main difference is that
2981.Nm sctp nat
2982does not do port translation.
2983Since the local and global side ports will be the same,
2984there is no need to specify both.
2985Ports are redirected as follows:

3009.Sh IPv6/IPv4 NETWORK ADDRESS AND PROTOCOL TRANSLATION
3010.Nm
3011supports in-kernel IPv6/IPv4 network address and protocol translation.
3012Stateful NAT64 translation allows IPv6-only clients to contact IPv4 servers
3013using unicast TCP, UDP or ICMP protocols.
3014One or more IPv4 addresses assigned to a stateful NAT64 translator are shared
3015among serveral IPv6-only clients.
3016When stateful NAT64 is used in conjunction with DNS64, no changes are usually
3017required in the IPv6 client or the IPv4 server.
3018The kernel module
3019.Cm ipfw_nat64
3020should be loaded or kernel should have
3021.Cm options IPFIREWALL_NAT64
3022to be able use stateful NAT64 translator.
3023.Pp
3024Stateful NAT64 uses a bunch of memory for several types of objects.
3025When IPv6 client initiates connection, NAT64 translator creates a host entry
3026in the states table.
3027Each host entry has a number of ports group entries allocated on demand.
3028Ports group entries contains connection state entries.
3029There are several options to control limits and lifetime for these objects.
3030.Pp
3031NAT64 translator follows RFC7915 when does ICMPv6/ICMP translation,
3032unsupported message types will be silently dropped.
3033IPv6 needs several ICMPv6 message types to be explicitly allowed for correct
3034operation.
3035Make sure that ND6 neighbor solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135) and neighbor
3036advertisement (ICMPv6 type 136) messages will not be handled by translation
3037rules.
3038.Pp
3039After translation NAT64 translator sends packets through corresponding netisr
3040queue.
3041Thus translator host should be configured as IPv4 and IPv6 router.
3042.Pp
3043Currently both stateful and stateless NAT64 translators use Well-Known IPv6
3044Prefix
3045.Ar 64:ff9b::/96
3046to represent IPv4 addresses in the IPv6 address.
3047Thus DNS64 service and routing should be configured to use Well-Known IPv6
3048Prefix.
3049.Pp
3050The stateful NAT64 configuration command is the following:
3051.Bd -ragged -offset indent
3052.Bk -words

3060The following parameters can be configured:
3061.Bl -tag -width indent
3062.It Cm prefix4 Ar ipv4_prefix/mask
3063The IPv4 prefix with mask defines the pool of IPv4 addresses used as
3064source address after translation.
3065Stateful NAT64 module translates IPv6 source address of client to one
3066IPv4 address from this pool.
3067Note that incoming IPv4 packets that don't have corresponding state entry
3068in the states table will be dropped by translator.
3069Make sure that translation rules handle packets, destined to configured prefix.
3070.It Cm max_ports Ar number
3071Maximum number of ports reserved for upper level protocols to one IPv6 client.
3072All reserved ports are divided into chunks between supported protocols.
3073The number of connections from one IPv6 client is limited by this option.
3074Note that closed TCP connections still remain in the list of connections until
3075.Cm tcp_close_age
3076interval will not expire.
3077Default value is
3078.Ar 2048 .
3079.It Cm host_del_age Ar seconds
3080The number of seconds until the host entry for a IPv6 client will be deleted
3081and all its resources will be released due to inactivity.
3082Default value is
3083.Ar 3600 .
3084.It Cm pg_del_age Ar seconds
3085The number of seconds until a ports group with unused state entries will
3086be released.
3087Default value is
3088.Ar 900 .
3089.It Cm tcp_syn_age Ar seconds
3090The number of seconds while a state entry for TCP connection with only SYN
3091sent will be kept.
3092If TCP connection establishing will not be finished,
3093state entry will be deleted.
3094Default value is
3095.Ar 10 .
3096.It Cm tcp_est_age Ar seconds
3097The number of seconds while a state entry for established TCP connection
3098will be kept.
3099Default value is
3100.Ar 7200 .
3101.It Cm tcp_close_age Ar seconds
3102The number of seconds while a state entry for closed TCP connection
3103will be kept.
3104Keeping state entries for closed connections is needed, because IPv4 servers
3105typically keep closed connections in a TIME_WAIT state for a several minutes.
3106Since translator's IPv4 addresses are shared among all IPv6 clients,
3107new connections from the same addresses and ports may be rejected by server,
3108because these connections are still in a TIME_WAIT state.
3109Keeping them in translator's state table protects from such rejects.
3110Default value is
3111.Ar 180 .
3112.It Cm udp_age Ar seconds
3113The number of seconds while translator keeps state entry in a waiting for
3114reply to the sent UDP datagram.

3117.It Cm icmp_age Ar seconds
3118The number of seconds while translator keeps state entry in a waiting for
3119reply to the sent ICMP message.

3126.Ar ipfwlog0
3127is a pseudo interface and can be created after a boot manually with
3128.Cm ifconfig
3129command.
3130Note that it has different purpose than
3131.Ar ipfw0
3132interface.
3133Translators sends to BPF an additional information with each packet.
3134With
3135.Cm tcpdump
3136you are able to see each handled packet before and after translation.
3137.It Cm -log

3150.Pp
3151Stateless NAT64 translator doesn't use a states table for translation
3152and converts IPv4 addresses to IPv6 and vice versa solely based on the
3153mappings taken from configured lookup tables.
3154Since a states table doesn't used by stateless translator,
3155it can be configured to pass IPv4 clients to IPv6-only servers.

3183.El
3184.Pp
3185Note that the behavior of stateless translator with respect to not matched
3186packets differs from stateful translator.
3187If corresponding addresses was not found in the lookup tables, the packet
3188will not be dropped and the search continues.
3189.Sh IPv6-to-IPv6 NETWORK PREFIX TRANSLATION (NPTv6)

3258.Bl -tag -width indent
3259.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.accept_global_ootb_addip: No 0
3260Defines how the
3261.Nm nat
3262responds to receipt of global OOTB ASCONF-AddIP:
3263.Bl -tag -width indent
3264.It Cm 0
3265No response (unless a partially matching association exists -
3266ports and vtags match but global address does not)
3267.It Cm 1
3268.Nm nat
3269will accept and process all OOTB global AddIP messages.
3270.El
3271.Pp
3272Option 1 should never be selected as this forms a security risk.
3273An attacker can
3274establish multiple fake associations by sending AddIP messages.
3275.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.chunk_proc_limit: No 5
3276Defines the maximum number of chunks in an SCTP packet that will be
3277parsed for a
3278packet that matches an existing association.
3279This value is enforced to be greater or equal than
3280.Cm net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.initialising_chunk_proc_limit .
3281A high value is
3282a DoS risk yet setting too low a value may result in
3283important control chunks in
3284the packet not being located and parsed.
3285.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.error_on_ootb: No 1
3286Defines when the
3287.Nm nat
3288responds to any Out-of-the-Blue (OOTB) packets with ErrorM packets.
3289An OOTB packet is a packet that arrives with no existing association
3290registered in the
3291.Nm nat
3292and is not an INIT or ASCONF-AddIP packet:
3293.Bl -tag -width indent
3294.It Cm 0
3295ErrorM is never sent in response to OOTB packets.
3296.It Cm 1
3297ErrorM is only sent to OOTB packets received on the local side.
3298.It Cm 2
3299ErrorM is sent to the local side and on the global side ONLY if there is a
3300partial match (ports and vtags match but the source global IP does not).
3301This value is only useful if the
3302.Nm nat
3303is tracking global IP addresses.
3304.It Cm 3
3305ErrorM is sent in response to all OOTB packets on both
3306the local and global side
3307(DoS risk).
3308.El
3309.Pp
3310At the moment the default is 0, since the ErrorM packet is not yet
3311supported by most SCTP stacks.
3312When it is supported, and if not tracking
3313global addresses, we recommend setting this value to 1 to allow
3314multi-homed local hosts to function with the
3315.Nm nat .
3316To track global addresses, we recommend setting this value to 2 to
3317allow global hosts to be informed when they need to (re)send an
3318ASCONF-AddIP.
3319Value 3 should never be chosen (except for debugging) as the
3320.Nm nat
3321will respond to all OOTB global packets (a DoS risk).
3322.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.hashtable_size: No 2003
3323Size of hash tables used for
3324.Nm nat
3325lookups (100 < prime_number > 1000001).
3326This value sets the
3327.Nm hash table
3328size for any future created
3329.Nm nat
3330instance and therefore must be set prior to creating a
3331.Nm nat
3332instance.
3333The table sizes may be changed to suit specific needs.
3334If there will be few
3335concurrent associations, and memory is scarce, you may make these smaller.
3336If there will be many thousands (or millions) of concurrent associations, you
3337should make these larger.
3338A prime number is best for the table size.
3339The sysctl
3340update function will adjust your input value to the next highest prime number.
3341.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.holddown_time:  No 0
3342Hold association in table for this many seconds after receiving a
3343SHUTDOWN-COMPLETE.
3344This allows endpoints to correct shutdown gracefully if a
3345shutdown_complete is lost and retransmissions are required.
3346.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.init_timer: No 15
3347Timeout value while waiting for (INIT-ACK|AddIP-ACK).
3348This value cannot be 0.
3349.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.initialising_chunk_proc_limit: No 2
3350Defines the maximum number of chunks in an SCTP packet that will be parsed when
3351no existing association exists that matches that packet.
3352Ideally this packet
3353will only be an INIT or ASCONF-AddIP packet.
3354A higher value may become a DoS
3355risk as malformed packets can consume processing resources.
3356.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.param_proc_limit: No 25
3357Defines the maximum number of parameters within a chunk that will be
3358parsed in a
3359packet.
3360As for other similar sysctl variables, larger values pose a DoS risk.
3361.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.log_level: No 0
3362Level of detail in the system log messages (0 \- minimal, 1 \- event,
33632 \- info, 3 \- detail, 4 \- debug, 5 \- max debug).
3364May be a good
3365option in high loss environments.
3366.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.shutdown_time: No 15
3367Timeout value while waiting for SHUTDOWN-COMPLETE.
3368This value cannot be 0.
3369.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.track_global_addresses: No 0
3370Enables/disables global IP address tracking within the
3371.Nm nat
3372and places an
3373upper limit on the number of addresses tracked for each association:
3374.Bl -tag -width indent
3375.It Cm 0
3376Global tracking is disabled
3377.It Cm >1
3378Enables tracking, the maximum number of addresses tracked for each
3379association is limited to this value
3380.El
3381.Pp
3382This variable is fully dynamic, the new value will be adopted for all newly
3383arriving associations, existing associations are treated
3384as they were previously.
3385Global tracking will decrease the number of collisions within the
3386.Nm nat
3387at a cost
3388of increased processing load, memory usage, complexity, and possible
3389.Nm nat
3390state
3391problems in complex networks with multiple
3392.Nm nats .
3393We recommend not tracking
3394global IP addresses, this will still result in a fully functional
3395.Nm nat .
3396.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.up_timer: No 300
3397Timeout value to keep an association up with no traffic.
3398This value cannot be 0.
3399.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.expire : No 1
3400Lazily delete dynamic pipes/queue once they have no pending traffic.
3401You can disable this by setting the variable to 0, in which case
3402the pipes/queues will only be deleted when the threshold is reached.
3403.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size : No 64
3404Default size of the hash table used for dynamic pipes/queues.

3425.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.max_chain_len : No 16
3426Target value for the maximum number of pipes/queues in a hash bucket.
3427The product

3437.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_byte_limit : No 1048576
3438.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_slot_limit : No 100
3439The maximum queue size that can be specified in bytes or packets.
3440These limits prevent accidental exhaustion of resources such as mbufs.
3441If you raise these limits,
3442you should make sure the system is configured so that sufficient resources
3443are available.
3444.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.autoinc_step : No 100
3445Delta between rule numbers when auto-generating them.
3446The value must be in the range 1..1000.
3447.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets : Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets
3448The current number of buckets in the hash table for dynamic rules
3449(readonly).
3450.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.debug : No 1
3451Controls debugging messages produced by
3452.Nm .
3453.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.default_rule : No 65535
3454The default rule number (read-only).
3455By the design of
3456.Nm , the default rule is the last one, so its number
3457can also serve as the highest number allowed for a rule.
3458.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets : No 256
3459The number of buckets in the hash table for dynamic rules.
3460Must be a power of 2, up to 65536.
3461It only takes effect when all dynamic rules have expired, so you
3462are advised to use a
3463.Cm flush
3464command to make sure that the hash table is resized.
3465.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_count : No 3
3466Current number of dynamic rules
3467(read-only).
3468.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_keepalive : No 1
3469Enables generation of keepalive packets for
3470.Cm keep-state
3471rules on TCP sessions.
3472A keepalive is generated to both
3473sides of the connection every 5 seconds for the last 20
3474seconds of the lifetime of the rule.
3475.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_max : No 8192
3476Maximum number of dynamic rules.
3477When you hit this limit, no more dynamic rules can be
3478installed until old ones expire.
3479.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_ack_lifetime : No 300
3480.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_syn_lifetime : No 20
3481.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_fin_lifetime : No 1
3482.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_rst_lifetime : No 1
3483.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_udp_lifetime : No 5
3484.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_short_lifetime : No 30
3485These variables control the lifetime, in seconds, of dynamic
3486rules.
3487Upon the initial SYN exchange the lifetime is kept short,
3488then increased after both SYN have been seen, then decreased
3489again during the final FIN exchange or when a RST is received.
3490Both
3491.Em dyn_fin_lifetime
3492and
3493.Em dyn_rst_lifetime
3494must be strictly lower than 5 seconds, the period of
3495repetition of keepalives.
3496The firewall enforces that.
3497.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_keep_states: No 0
3498Keep dynamic states on rule/set deletion.
3499States are relinked to default rule (65535).
3500This can be handly for ruleset reload.
3501Turned off by default.
3502.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.enable : No 1
3503Enables the firewall.
3504Setting this variable to 0 lets you run your machine without
3505firewall even if compiled in.
3506.It Va net.inet6.ip6.fw.enable : No 1
3507provides the same functionality as above for the IPv6 case.
3508.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass : No 1
3509When set, the packet exiting from the
3510.Nm dummynet
3511pipe or from
3512.Xr ng_ipfw 4
3513node is not passed though the firewall again.
3514Otherwise, after an action, the packet is
3515reinjected into the firewall at the next rule.
3516.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.tables_max : No 128
3517Maximum number of tables.
3518.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose : No 1
3519Enables verbose messages.
3520.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit : No 0
3521Limits the number of messages produced by a verbose firewall.
3522.It Va net.inet6.ip6.fw.deny_unknown_exthdrs : No 1
3523If enabled packets with unknown IPv6 Extension Headers will be denied.
3524.It Va net.link.ether.ipfw : No 0
3525Controls whether layer-2 packets are passed to
3526.Nm .
3527Default is no.
3528.It Va net.link.bridge.ipfw : No 0
3529Controls whether bridged packets are passed to
3530.Nm .
3531Default is no.
3532.El
3533.Sh INTERNAL DIAGNOSTICS
3534There are some commands that may be useful to understand current state
3535of certain subsystems inside kernel module.
3536These commands provide debugging output which may change without notice.
3537.Pp
3538Currently the following commands are available as
3539.Cm internal
3540sub-options:
3541.Bl -tag -width indent
3542.It Cm iflist
3543Lists all interface which are currently tracked by
3544.Nm
3545with their in-kernel status.
3546.It Cm talist
3547List all table lookup algorithms currently available.
3548.El
3549.Sh EXAMPLES
3550There are far too many possible uses of
3551.Nm
3552so this Section will only give a small set of examples.
3553.Pp
3554.Ss BASIC PACKET FILTERING
3555This command adds an entry which denies all tcp packets from
3556.Em cracker.evil.org
3557to the telnet port of
3558.Em wolf.tambov.su
3559from being forwarded by the host:
3560.Pp
3561.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from cracker.evil.org to wolf.tambov.su telnet"
3562.Pp
3563This one disallows any connection from the entire cracker's
3564network to my host:
3565.Pp
3566.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from 123.45.67.0/24 to my.host.org"
3567.Pp
3568A first and efficient way to limit access (not using dynamic rules)
3569is the use of the following rules:
3570.Pp
3571.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from any to any established"
3572.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from net1 portlist1 to net2 portlist2 setup"
3573.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from net3 portlist3 to net3 portlist3 setup"
3574.Dl "..."
3575.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from any to any"
3576.Pp
3577The first rule will be a quick match for normal TCP packets,
3578but it will not match the initial SYN packet, which will be
3579matched by the
3580.Cm setup
3581rules only for selected source/destination pairs.
3582All other SYN packets will be rejected by the final
3583.Cm deny
3584rule.
3585.Pp
3586If you administer one or more subnets, you can take advantage
3587of the address sets and or-blocks and write extremely
3588compact rulesets which selectively enable services to blocks
3589of clients, as below:
3590.Pp
3591.Dl "goodguys=\*q{ 10.1.2.0/24{20,35,66,18} or 10.2.3.0/28{6,3,11} }\*q"
3592.Dl "badguys=\*q10.1.2.0/24{8,38,60}\*q"
3593.Dl ""
3594.Dl "ipfw add allow ip from ${goodguys} to any"
3595.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from ${badguys} to any"
3596.Dl "... normal policies ..."
3597.Pp
3598The
3599.Cm verrevpath
3600option could be used to do automated anti-spoofing by adding the
3601following to the top of a ruleset:
3602.Pp
3603.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from any to any not verrevpath in"
3604.Pp
3605This rule drops all incoming packets that appear to be coming to the
3606system on the wrong interface.
3607For example, a packet with a source
3608address belonging to a host on a protected internal network would be
3609dropped if it tried to enter the system from an external interface.
3610.Pp
3611The
3612.Cm antispoof
3613option could be used to do similar but more restricted anti-spoofing
3614by adding the following to the top of a ruleset:
3615.Pp
3616.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from any to any not antispoof in"
3617.Pp
3618This rule drops all incoming packets that appear to be coming from another
3619directly connected system but on the wrong interface.
3620For example, a packet with a source address of
3621.Li 192.168.0.0/24 ,
3622configured on
3623.Li fxp0 ,
3624but coming in on
3625.Li fxp1
3626would be dropped.
3627.Pp
3628The
3629.Cm setdscp
3630option could be used to (re)mark user traffic,
3631by adding the following to the appropriate place in ruleset:
3632.Pp
3633.Dl "ipfw add setdscp be ip from any to any dscp af11,af21"
3634.Ss DYNAMIC RULES
3635In order to protect a site from flood attacks involving fake
3636TCP packets, it is safer to use dynamic rules:
3637.Pp
3638.Dl "ipfw add check-state"
3639.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from any to any established"
3640.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from my-net to any setup keep-state"
3641.Pp
3642This will let the firewall install dynamic rules only for
3643those connection which start with a regular SYN packet coming
3644from the inside of our network.
3645Dynamic rules are checked when encountering the first
3646occurrence of a
3647.Cm check-state ,
3648.Cm keep-state
3649or
3650.Cm limit
3651rule.
3652A
3653.Cm check-state
3654rule should usually be placed near the beginning of the
3655ruleset to minimize the amount of work scanning the ruleset.
3656Your mileage may vary.
3657.Pp
3658To limit the number of connections a user can open
3659you can use the following type of rules:
3660.Pp
3661.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from my-net/24 to any setup limit src-addr 10"
3662.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from any to me setup limit src-addr 4"
3663.Pp
3664The former (assuming it runs on a gateway) will allow each host
3665on a /24 network to open at most 10 TCP connections.
3666The latter can be placed on a server to make sure that a single
3667client does not use more than 4 simultaneous connections.
3668.Pp
3669.Em BEWARE :
3670stateful rules can be subject to denial-of-service attacks
3671by a SYN-flood which opens a huge number of dynamic rules.
3672The effects of such attacks can be partially limited by
3673acting on a set of
3674.Xr sysctl 8
3675variables which control the operation of the firewall.
3676.Pp
3677Here is a good usage of the
3678.Cm list
3679command to see accounting records and timestamp information:
3680.Pp
3681.Dl ipfw -at list
3682.Pp
3683or in short form without timestamps:
3684.Pp
3685.Dl ipfw -a list
3686.Pp
3687which is equivalent to:
3688.Pp
3689.Dl ipfw show
3690.Pp
3691Next rule diverts all incoming packets from 192.168.2.0/24
3692to divert port 5000:
3693.Pp
3694.Dl ipfw divert 5000 ip from 192.168.2.0/24 to any in
3695.Ss TRAFFIC SHAPING
3696The following rules show some of the applications of
3697.Nm
3698and
3699.Nm dummynet
3700for simulations and the like.
3701.Pp
3702This rule drops random incoming packets with a probability
3703of 5%:
3704.Pp
3705.Dl "ipfw add prob 0.05 deny ip from any to any in"
3706.Pp
3707A similar effect can be achieved making use of
3708.Nm dummynet
3709pipes:
3710.Pp
3711.Dl "ipfw add pipe 10 ip from any to any"
3712.Dl "ipfw pipe 10 config plr 0.05"
3713.Pp
3714We can use pipes to artificially limit bandwidth, e.g.\& on a
3715machine acting as a router, if we want to limit traffic from
3716local clients on 192.168.2.0/24 we do:
3717.Pp
3718.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from 192.168.2.0/24 to any out"
3719.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 300Kbit/s queue 50KBytes"
3720.Pp
3721note that we use the
3722.Cm out
3723modifier so that the rule is not used twice.
3724Remember in fact that
3725.Nm
3726rules are checked both on incoming and outgoing packets.
3727.Pp
3728Should we want to simulate a bidirectional link with bandwidth
3729limitations, the correct way is the following:
3730.Pp
3731.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any out"
3732.Dl "ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to any in"
3733.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 64Kbit/s queue 10Kbytes"
3734.Dl "ipfw pipe 2 config bw 64Kbit/s queue 10Kbytes"
3735.Pp
3736The above can be very useful, e.g.\& if you want to see how
3737your fancy Web page will look for a residential user who
3738is connected only through a slow link.
3739You should not use only one pipe for both directions, unless
3740you want to simulate a half-duplex medium (e.g.\& AppleTalk,
3741Ethernet, IRDA).
3742It is not necessary that both pipes have the same configuration,
3743so we can also simulate asymmetric links.
3744.Pp
3745Should we want to verify network performance with the RED queue
3746management algorithm:
3747.Pp
3748.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any"
3749.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 500Kbit/s queue 100 red 0.002/30/80/0.1"
3750.Pp
3751Another typical application of the traffic shaper is to
3752introduce some delay in the communication.
3753This can significantly affect applications which do a lot of Remote
3754Procedure Calls, and where the round-trip-time of the
3755connection often becomes a limiting factor much more than
3756bandwidth:
3757.Pp
3758.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any out"
3759.Dl "ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to any in"
3760.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config delay 250ms bw 1Mbit/s"
3761.Dl "ipfw pipe 2 config delay 250ms bw 1Mbit/s"
3762.Pp
3763Per-flow queueing can be useful for a variety of purposes.
3764A very simple one is counting traffic:
3765.Pp
3766.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from any to any"
3767.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 udp from any to any"
3768.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any"
3769.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config mask all"
3770.Pp
3771The above set of rules will create queues (and collect
3772statistics) for all traffic.
3773Because the pipes have no limitations, the only effect is
3774collecting statistics.
3775Note that we need 3 rules, not just the last one, because
3776when
3777.Nm
3778tries to match IP packets it will not consider ports, so we
3779would not see connections on separate ports as different
3780ones.
3781.Pp
3782A more sophisticated example is limiting the outbound traffic
3783on a net with per-host limits, rather than per-network limits:
3784.Pp
3785.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from 192.168.2.0/24 to any out"
3786.Dl "ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.2.0/24 in"
3787.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0x000000ff bw 200Kbit/s queue 20Kbytes"
3788.Dl "ipfw pipe 2 config mask dst-ip 0x000000ff bw 200Kbit/s queue 20Kbytes"
3789.Ss LOOKUP TABLES
3790In the following example, we need to create several traffic bandwidth
3791classes and we need different hosts/networks to fall into different classes.
3792We create one pipe for each class and configure them accordingly.
3793Then we create a single table and fill it with IP subnets and addresses.
3794For each subnet/host we set the argument equal to the number of the pipe
3795that it should use.
3796Then we classify traffic using a single rule:
3797.Pp
3798.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 1000Kbyte/s"
3799.Dl "ipfw pipe 4 config bw 4000Kbyte/s"
3800.Dl "..."
3801.Dl "ipfw table T1 create type addr"
3802.Dl "ipfw table T1 add 192.168.2.0/24 1"
3803.Dl "ipfw table T1 add 192.168.0.0/27 4"
3804.Dl "ipfw table T1 add 192.168.0.2 1"
3805.Dl "..."
3806.Dl "ipfw add pipe tablearg ip from 'table(T1)' to any"
3807.Pp
3808Using the
3809.Cm fwd
3810action, the table entries may include hostnames and IP addresses.
3811.Pp
3812.Dl "ipfw table T2 create type addr ftype ip"
3813.Dl "ipfw table T2 add 192.168.2.0/24 10.23.2.1"
3814.Dl "ipfw table T21 add 192.168.0.0/27 router1.dmz"
3815.Dl "..."
3816.Dl "ipfw add 100 fwd tablearg ip from any to table(1)"
3817.Pp
3818In the following example per-interface firewall is created:
3819.Pp
3820.Dl "ipfw table IN create type iface valtype skipto,fib"
3821.Dl "ipfw table IN add vlan20 12000,12"
3822.Dl "ipfw table IN add vlan30 13000,13"
3823.Dl "ipfw table OUT create type iface valtype skipto"
3824.Dl "ipfw table OUT add vlan20 22000"
3825.Dl "ipfw table OUT add vlan30 23000"
3826.Dl ".."
3827.Dl "ipfw add 100 ipfw setfib tablearg ip from any to any recv 'table(IN)' in"
3828.Dl "ipfw add 200 ipfw skipto tablearg ip from any to any recv 'table(IN)' in"
3829.Dl "ipfw add 300 ipfw skipto tablearg ip from any to any xmit 'table(OUT)' out"
3830.Pp
3831The following example illustrate usage of flow tables:
3832.Pp
3833.Dl "ipfw table fl create type flow:flow:src-ip,proto,dst-ip,dst-port"
3834.Dl "ipfw table fl add 2a02:6b8:77::88,tcp,2a02:6b8:77::99,80 11"
3835.Dl "ipfw table fl add 10.0.0.1,udp,10.0.0.2,53 12"
3836.Dl ".."
3837.Dl "ipfw add 100 allow ip from any to any flow 'table(fl,11)' recv ix0"
3838.Ss SETS OF RULES
3839To add a set of rules atomically, e.g.\& set 18:
3840.Pp
3841.Dl "ipfw set disable 18"
3842.Dl "ipfw add NN set 18 ...         # repeat as needed"
3843.Dl "ipfw set enable 18"
3844.Pp
3845To delete a set of rules atomically the command is simply:
3846.Pp
3847.Dl "ipfw delete set 18"
3848.Pp
3849To test a ruleset and disable it and regain control if something goes wrong:
3850.Pp
3851.Dl "ipfw set disable 18"
3852.Dl "ipfw add NN set 18 ...         # repeat as needed"
3853.Dl "ipfw set enable 18; echo done; sleep 30 && ipfw set disable 18"
3854.Pp
3855Here if everything goes well, you press control-C before the "sleep"
3856terminates, and your ruleset will be left active.
3857Otherwise, e.g.\& if
3858you cannot access your box, the ruleset will be disabled after
3859the sleep terminates thus restoring the previous situation.
3860.Pp
3861To show rules of the specific set:
3862.Pp
3863.Dl "ipfw set 18 show"
3864.Pp
3865To show rules of the disabled set:
3866.Pp
3867.Dl "ipfw -S set 18 show"
3868.Pp
3869To clear a specific rule counters of the specific set:
3870.Pp
3871.Dl "ipfw set 18 zero NN"
3872.Pp
3873To delete a specific rule of the specific set:
3874.Pp
3875.Dl "ipfw set 18 delete NN"
3876.Ss NAT, REDIRECT AND LSNAT
3877First redirect all the traffic to nat instance 123:
3878.Pp
3879.Dl "ipfw add nat 123 all from any to any"
3880.Pp
3881Then to configure nat instance 123 to alias all the outgoing traffic with ip
3882192.168.0.123, blocking all incoming connections, trying to keep
3883same ports on both sides, clearing aliasing table on address change
3884and keeping a log of traffic/link statistics:
3885.Pp
3886.Dl "ipfw nat 123 config ip 192.168.0.123 log deny_in reset same_ports"
3887.Pp
3888Or to change address of instance 123, aliasing table will be cleared (see
3889reset option):
3890.Pp
3891.Dl "ipfw nat 123 config ip 10.0.0.1"
3892.Pp
3893To see configuration of nat instance 123:
3894.Pp
3895.Dl "ipfw nat 123 show config"
3896.Pp
3897To show logs of all the instances in range 111-999:
3898.Pp
3899.Dl "ipfw nat 111-999 show"
3900.Pp
3901To see configurations of all instances:
3902.Pp
3903.Dl "ipfw nat show config"
3904.Pp
3905Or a redirect rule with mixed modes could looks like:
3906.Pp
3907.Dl "ipfw nat 123 config redirect_addr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.66"

3993.Sh BUGS
3994The syntax has grown over the years and sometimes it might be confusing.
3995Unfortunately, backward compatibility prevents cleaning up mistakes
3996made in the definition of the syntax.
3997.Pp
3998.Em !!! WARNING !!!
3999.Pp
4000Misconfiguring the firewall can put your computer in an unusable state,
4001possibly shutting down network services and requiring console access to
4002regain control of it.
4003.Pp
4004Incoming packet fragments diverted by
4005.Cm divert
4006are reassembled before delivery to the socket.
4007The action used on those packet is the one from the
4008rule which matches the first fragment of the packet.
4009.Pp
4010Packets diverted to userland, and then reinserted by a userland process
4011may lose various packet attributes.
4012The packet source interface name
4013will be preserved if it is shorter than 8 bytes and the userland process
4014saves and reuses the sockaddr_in
4015(as does
4016.Xr natd 8 ) ;
4017otherwise, it may be lost.
4018If a packet is reinserted in this manner, later rules may be incorrectly
4019applied, making the order of
4020.Cm divert
4021rules in the rule sequence very important.
4022.Pp
4023Dummynet drops all packets with IPv6 link-local addresses.
4024.Pp
4025Rules using
4026.Cm uid
4027or
4028.Cm gid
4029may not behave as expected.
4030In particular, incoming SYN packets may
4031have no uid or gid associated with them since they do not yet belong
4032to a TCP connection, and the uid/gid associated with a packet may not
4033be as expected if the associated process calls
4034.Xr setuid 2
4035or similar system calls.
4036.Pp
4037Rule syntax is subject to the command line environment and some patterns
4038may need to be escaped with the backslash character
4039or quoted appropriately.
4040.Pp
4041Due to the architecture of
4042.Xr libalias 3 ,
4043ipfw nat is not compatible with the TCP segmentation offloading (TSO).
4044Thus, to reliably nat your network traffic, please disable TSO
4045on your NICs using
4046.Xr ifconfig 8 .
4047.Pp
4048ICMP error messages are not implicitly matched by dynamic rules
4049for the respective conversations.
4050To avoid failures of network error detection and path MTU discovery,
4051ICMP error messages may need to be allowed explicitly through static
4052rules.
4053.Pp
4054Rules using
4055.Cm call
4056and
4057.Cm return
4058actions may lead to confusing behaviour if ruleset has mistakes,
4059and/or interaction with other subsystems (netgraph, dummynet, etc.) is used.
4060One possible case for this is packet leaving
4061.Nm
4062in subroutine on the input pass, while later on output encountering unpaired
4063.Cm return
4064first.
4065As the call stack is kept intact after input pass, packet will suddenly
4066return to the rule number used on input pass, not on output one.
4067Order of processing should be checked carefully to avoid such mistakes.
