17.Sh DESCRIPTION
18Ipfirewall (alias ipfw) is a system facility which allows filtering,
19redirecting, and other operations on IP packets travelling through
20system interfaces. Packets are matched by applying an ordered list
21of pattern rules against each packet until a match is found, at
22which point the corresponding action is taken. Rules are numbered
23from 1 to 65534; multiple rules may share the same number.
24.Pp
25There is one rule that always exists, rule number 65535. This rule
26normally causes all packets to be dropped. Hence, any packet which does not
27match a lower numbered rule will be dropped.  However, a kernel compile
28time option
29.Dq IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
30allows the administrator to change this fixed rule to permit everything.
31.Pp
32The value passed to
33.Fn setsockopt
34is a struct ip_fw describing the rule (see below). In some cases
35(such as IP_FW_DEL), only the rule number is significant.
36.Sh COMMANDS
37The following socket options are used to manage the rule list:
38.Pp
39IP_FW_ADD inserts the rule into the rule list.
40.Pp
41IP_FW_DEL deletes all rules having the matching rule number.
42.Pp
43IP_FW_GET returns the (first) rule having the matching rule number.
44.Pp
45IP_FW_ZERO zeros the statistics associated with all rules having the
46matching rule number. If the rule number is zero, all rules are zeroed.
47.Pp
48IP_FW_FLUSH removes all rules (except 65535).
49.Pp
50When the kernel security level is greater than 2, only IP_FW_GET
51is allowed.
52.Sh RULE STRUCTURE
53Rules are described by the following structure:

144.Sh RULE ACTIONS
145Each rule has an action described by the IP_FW_F_COMMAND bits in the
146flags word:
147
148  IP_FW_F_DENY          - drop packet
149  IP_FW_F_REJECT        - drop packet; send rejection via ICMP or TCP
150  IP_FW_F_ACCEPT        - accept packet
151  IP_FW_F_COUNT         - increment counters; continue matching
152  IP_FW_F_DIVERT        - divert packet to a divert(4) socket
153  IP_FW_F_TEE           - copy packet to a divert(4) socket; continue
154  IP_FW_F_SKIPTO        - skip to rule number fu_skipto_rule
155.Pp
156In the case of IP_FW_F_REJECT, if the fu_reject_code is a number
157from 0 to 255, then an ICMP unreachable packet is sent back to the
158original packet's source IP address, with the corresponding code.
159Otherwise, the value must be 256 and the protocol IPPROTO_TCP,
160in which case a TCP reset packet is sent instead.
161.Pp
162With IP_FW_F_SKIPTO, all succeeding rules having rule number less
163than fu_skipto_rule are skipped.
164.Sh KERNEL OPTIONS
165Options in the kernel configuration file:
166  IPFIREWALL               - enable ipfirewall.
167  IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE       - enable firewall output
168  IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT - limit firewall output
169  DIVERT                   - enable divert(4) sockets.
170.Pp
171When packets match a rule with the IP_FW_F_PRN bit set, a message
172is logged to the console if IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE has been enabled;
173IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT limits the maximum number of times each
174rule can cause a log message. These variables are also
175available via the
176.Xr sysctl 3
177interface.
178.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
179
180[EINVAL]  The IP option field was improperly formed; an option
181          field was shorter than the minimum value or longer than
182          the option buffer provided. A structural error in
183          ip_fw structure occurred (n_src_p+n_dst_p too big,
184          ports set for ALL/ICMP protocols etc.). An invalid
185          rule number was used.

196.Sh HISTORY
197The ipfw facility was initially written as package to BSDI
198by Daniel Boulet <danny@BouletFermat.ab.ca>.
199It has been heavily modified and ported to FreeBSD
200by Ugen J.S.Antsilevich <ugen@NetVision.net.il>.
201.Pp
202Several enhancements added by Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com>.
