NG_IPFW(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual NG_IPFW(4) NAME ng_ipfw -- interface between netgraph and IP firewall SYNOPSIS #include <netinet/ip_var.h> #include <netgraph/ng_ipfw.h> DESCRIPTION The ipfw node implements interface between ipfw(4) and netgraph(4) sub- systems. HOOKS The ipfw node supports an arbitrary number of hooks, which must be named using only numeric characters. OPERATION Once the ng_ipfw module is loaded into the kernel, a single node named ipfw is automatically created. No more ipfw nodes can be created. Once destroyed, the only way to recreate the node is to reload the ng_ipfw module. Packets can be injected into netgraph(4) using either the netgraph or ngtee commands of the ipfw(8) utility. These commands require a nu- meric cookie to be supplied as an argument. Packets are sent out of the hook whose name equals the cookie value. If no hook matches, pack- ets are discarded. Packets injected via the netgraph command are tagged with struct ipfw_rule_ref. This tag contains information that helps the packet to re-enter ipfw(4) processing, should the packet come back from netgraph(4) to ipfw(4). Packets received by a node from netgraph(4) subsystem must be tagged with struct ipfw_rule_ref tag. Packets re-enter IP firewall processing at the next rule. If no tag is supplied, packets are discarded. CONTROL MESSAGES This node type supports only the generic control messages. SHUTDOWN This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message. Do not do this, since the new ipfw node can only be created by reload- ing the ng_ipfw module. SEE ALSO ipfw(4), netgraph(4), ipfw(8), mbuf_tags(9) HISTORY The ipfw node type was implemented in FreeBSD 6.0. AUTHORS The ipfw node was written by Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@FreeBSD.org>.
