DESCRIPTION

       The shorewall-lite utility is used to control the Shoreline Firewall Lite (Shorewall Lite).

OPTIONS

       The trace and debug options are used for debugging. See http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm#Trace.

       The nolock option prevents the command from attempting to acquire the Shorewall-lite lockfile. It is useful if you need to include
       shorewall commands in /etc/shorewall/started.

       The options control the amount of output that the command produces. They consist of a sequence of the letters v and q. If the options are
       omitted, the amount of output is determined by the setting of the VERBOSITY parameter in shorewall.conf[1](5). Each v adds one to the
       effective verbosity and each q subtracts one from the effective VERBOSITY. Anternately, v may be followed immediately with one of -1,0,1,2
       to specify a specify VERBOSITY. There may be no white space between v and the VERBOSITY.

       The options may also include the letter t which causes all progress messages to be timestamped.

COMMANDS

       The available commands are listed below.

       add
	   Adds a list of hosts or subnets to a dynamic zone usually used with VPN's.

	   The interface argument names an interface defined in the shorewall-interfaces[2](5) file. A host-list is comma-separated list whose
	   elements are host or network addresses.

	       Caution
	       The add command is not very robust. If there are errors in the host-list, you may see a large number of error messages yet a
	       subsequent shorewall-lite show zones command will indicate that all hosts were added. If this happens, replace add by delete and
	       run the same command again. Then enter the correct command.

       allow
	   Re-enables receipt of packets from hosts previously blacklisted by a drop, logdrop, reject, or logreject command.

       clear
	   Clear will remove all rules and chains installed by Shorewall-lite. The firewall is then wide open and unprotected. Existing
	   connections are untouched. Clear is often used to see if the firewall is causing connection problems.

	   If -f is given, the command will be processed by the compiled script that executed the last successful start, restart or refresh
	   command if that script exists.

       delete
	   The delete command reverses the effect of an earlier add command.

	   The interface argument names an interface defined in the shorewall-interfaces[2](5) file. A host-list is comma-separated list whose
	   elements are a host or network address.

       disable
	   Added in Shorewall 4.4.26. Disables the optional provider associated with the specified interface or provider. Where more than one
	   provider share a single network interface, a provider name must be given.

       drop
	   Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be silently dropped.

       dump
	   Produces a verbose report about the firewall configuration for the purpose of problem analysis.

	   The -x option causes actual packet and byte counts to be displayed. Without that option, these counts are abbreviated. The -m option
	   causes any MAC addresses included in Shorewall-lite log messages to be displayed.

	   The -l option causes the rule number for each Netfilter rule to be displayed.

       enable
	   Added in Shorewall 4.4.26. Enables the optional provider associated with the specified interface or provider. Where more than one
	   provider share a single network interface, a provider name must be given.

       forget
	   Deletes /var/lib/shorewall-lite/filename and /var/lib/shorewall-lite/save. If no filename is given then the file specified by
	   RESTOREFILE in shorewall.conf[1](5) is assumed.

       help
	   Displays a syntax summary.

       hits
	   Generates several reports from Shorewall-lite log messages in the current log file. If the -t option is included, the reports are
	   restricted to log messages generated today.

       ipcalc
	   Ipcalc displays the network address, broadcast address, network in CIDR notation and netmask corresponding to the input[s].

       iprange
	   Iprange decomposes the specified range of IP addresses into the equivalent list of network/host addresses.

       iptrace
	   This is a low-level debugging command that causes iptables TRACE log records to be created. See iptables(8) for details.

	   The iptables match expression must be one or more matches that may appear in both the raw table OUTPUT and raw table PREROUTING chains.

	   The trace records are written to the kernel's log buffer with faciility = kernel and priority = warning, and they are routed from there
	   by your logging daemon (syslogd, rsyslog, syslog-ng, ...) -- Shorewall-lite has no control over where the messages go; consult your
	   logging daemon's documentation.

       logdrop
	   Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be logged then discarded. Logging occurs at the log level specified by the
	   BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL setting in shorewall.conf[1] (5).

       logwatch
	   Monitors the log file specified by the LOGFILE option in shorewall.conf[1](5) and produces an audible alarm when new Shorewall-lite
	   messages are logged. The -m option causes the MAC address of each packet source to be displayed if that information is available. The
	   refresh-interval specifies the time in seconds between screen refreshes. You can enter a negative number by preceding the number with
	   "--" (e.g., shorewall-lite logwatch -- -30). In this case, when a packet count changes, you will be prompted to hit any key to resume
	   screen refreshes.

       logreject
	   Causes traffic from the listed addresses to be logged then rejected. Logging occurs at the log level specified by the
	   BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL setting in shorewall.conf[1] (5).

       noiptrace
	   This is a low-level debugging command that cancels a trace started by a preceding iptrace command.

	   The iptables match expression must be one given in the iptrace command being cancelled.

       reset
	   All the packet and byte counters in the firewall are reset.

       restart
	   Restart is similar to shorewall-lite start except that it assumes that the firewall is already started. Existing connections are
	   maintained.

	   The -n option causes Shorewall-lite to avoid updating the routing table(s).

	   The -p option causes the connection tracking table to be flushed; the conntrack utility must be installed to use this option.

       restore
	   Restore Shorewall-lite to a state saved using the shorewall-lite save command. Existing connections are maintained. The filename names
	   a restore file in /var/lib/shorewall-lite created using shorewall-lite save; if no filename is given then Shorewall-lite will be
	   restored from the file specified by the RESTOREFILE option in shorewall.conf[1](5).

       save
	   The dynamic blacklist is stored in /var/lib/shorewall-lite/save. The state of the firewall is stored in
	   /var/lib/shorewall-lite/filename for use by the shorewall-lite restore. If filename is not given then the state is saved in the file
	   specified by the RESTOREFILE option in shorewall.conf[1](5).

       show
	   The show command can have a number of different arguments:

	   capabilities
	       Displays your kernel/iptables capabilities. The -f option causes the display to be formatted as a capabilities file for use with
	       compile -e.

	   [ [ chain ] chain... ]
	       The rules in each chain are displayed using the iptables -L chain -n -v command. If no chain is given, all of the chains in the
	       filter table are displayed. The -x option is passed directly through to iptables and causes actual packet and byte counts to be
	       displayed. Without this option, those counts are abbreviated. The -t option specifies the Netfilter table to display. The default
	       is filter.

	       The -l option causes the rule number for each Netfilter rule to be displayed.

	       If the t option and the chain keyword are both omitted and any of the listed chains do not exist, a usage message is displayed.

	   classifiers|filters
	       Displays information about the packet classifiers defined on the system as a result of traffic shaping configuration.

	   config
	       Dispays distribution-specific defaults.

	   connections
	       Displays the IP connections currently being tracked by the firewall.

	   ip
	       Displays the system's IPv4 configuration.

	   ipa
	       Added in Shorewall 4.4.17. Displays the per-IP accounting counters (shorewall-accounting[3] (5)).

	   log
	       Displays the last 20 Shorewall-lite messages from the log file specified by the LOGFILE option in shorewall.conf[1](5). The -m
	       option causes the MAC address of each packet source to be displayed if that information is available.

	   marks
	       Added in Shorewall 4.4.26. Displays the various fields in packet marks giving the min and max value (in both decimal and hex) and
	       the applicable mask (in hex).

	   nat
	       Displays the Netfilter nat table using the command iptables -t nat -L -n -v.The -x option is passed directly through to iptables
	       and causes actual packet and byte counts to be displayed. Without this option, those counts are abbreviated.

	   policies
	       Added in Shorewall 4.4.4. Displays the applicable policy between each pair of zones. Note that implicit intrazone ACCEPT policies
	       are not displayed for zones associated with a single network where that network doesn't specify routeback.

	   routing
	       Displays the system's IPv4 routing configuration.

	   raw
	       Displays the Netfilter raw table using the command iptables -t raw -L -n -v.The -x option is passed directly through to iptables
	       and causes actual packet and byte counts to be displayed. Without this option, those counts are abbreviated.

	   tc
	       Displays information about queuing disciplines, classes and filters.

	   zones
	       Displays the current composition of the Shorewall zones on the system.

       start
	   Start Shorewall Lite. Existing connections through shorewall-lite managed interfaces are untouched. New connections will be allowed
	   only if they are allowed by the firewall rules or policies.

	   The -p option causes the connection tracking table to be flushed; the conntrack utility must be installed to use this option.

       stop
	   Stops the firewall. All existing connections, except those listed in shorewall-routestopped[4](5) or permitted by the
	   ADMINISABSENTMINDED option in shorewall.conf[1](5), are taken down. The only new traffic permitted through the firewall is from systems
	   listed in shorewall-routestopped[4](5) or by ADMINISABSENTMINDED.

	   If -f is given, the command will be processed by the compiled script that executed the last successful start, restart or refresh
	   command if that script exists.

       status
	   Produces a short report about the state of the Shorewall-configured firewall.

       version
	   Displays Shorewall's version. The -a option is included for compatibility with earlier Shorewall releases and is ignored.
