Warning

To use this file, your kernel and iptables must have NETMAP support included.

The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in the alternate specification syntax).

TYPE - {DNAT|SNAT}[:{P|O|T}]

Must be DNAT or SNAT; beginning with Shorewall 4.4.23, may be optionally followed by :P, :O or :T to perform stateless NAT. Stateless NAT requires Rawpost Table support in your kernel and iptables (see the output of shorewall show capabilities).

If DNAT or DNAT:P, traffic entering INTERFACE and addressed to NET1 has its destination address rewritten to the corresponding address in NET2.

If SNAT or SNAT:T, traffic leaving INTERFACE with a source address in NET1 has it's source address rewritten to the corresponding address in NET2.

If DNAT:O, traffic originating on the firewall and leaving via INTERFACE and addressed to NET1 has its destination address rewritten to the corresponding address in NET2.

If DNAT:P, traffic entering via INTERFACE and addressed to NET1 has its destination address rewritten to the corresponding address in NET2.

If SNAT:P, traffic entering via INTERFACE with a destination address in NET1 has it's source address rewritten to the corresponding address in NET2.

If SNAT:O, traffic originating on the firewall and leaving via INTERFACE with a source address in NET1 has it's source address rewritten to the corresponding address in NET2.

NET1 - network-address

Network in CIDR format (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24). Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.24, m[blue]exclusionm[][1] is supported.

INTERFACE - interface

The name of a network interface. The interface must be defined in m[blue]shorewall-interfacesm[][2](5). Shorewall allows loose matches to wildcard entries in m[blue]shorewall-interfacesm[][2](5). For example, ppp0 in this file will match a m[blue]shorewall-interfacesm[][2](8) entry that defines ppp+.

NET2 - network-address

Network in CIDR format

NET3 (Optional) - network-address

Added in Shorewall 4.4.11. If specified, qualifies INTERFACE. It specifies a SOURCE network for DNAT rules and a DESTINATION network for SNAT rules.

PROTO - protocol-number-or-name

Optional -- added in Shorewall 4.4.23.2. Only packets specifying this protocol will have their IP header modified.

DPORT - port-number-or-name-list

Optional - added in Shorewall 4.4.23.2. Destination Ports. A comma-separated list of Port names (from services(5)), port numbers or port ranges; if the protocol is icmp, this column is interpreted as the destination icmp-type(s). ICMP types may be specified as a numeric type, a numeric type and code separated by a slash (e.g., 3/4), or a typename. See m[blue]http://www.shorewall.net/configuration_file_basics.htm#ICMPm[][3].

If the protocol is ipp2p, this column is interpreted as an ipp2p option without the leading "--" (example bit for bit-torrent). If no PORT is given, ipp2p is assumed.

An entry in this field requires that the PROTO column specify icmp (1), tcp (6), udp (17), sctp (132) or udplite (136). Use '-' if any of the following field is supplied.

This column was formerly labelled DEST PORT(S).

SPORT - port-number-or-name-list

Optional -- added in Shorewall 4.4.23.2. Source port(s). If omitted, any source port is acceptable. Specified as a comma-separated list of port names, port numbers or port ranges.

An entry in this field requires that the PROTO column specify tcp (6), udp (17), sctp (132) or udplite (136). Use '-' if any of the following fields is supplied.

This column was formerly labelled SOURCE PORT(S).
