| #include <netinet/ip_compat.h> |
| .br |
| #include <netinet/ip_fil.h> |
| .SH IOCTLS |
| .PP |
| To add and delete rules to the filter list, three 'basic' ioctls are provided |
| for use. The ioctl's are called as: |
| .LP |
| .nf |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCADDFR, struct frentry **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCDELFR, struct frentry **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCIPFFL, int *) |
| .fi |
| .PP |
| However, the full complement is as follows: |
| .LP |
| .nf |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCADAFR, struct frentry **) (same as SIOCADDFR) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCRMAFR, struct frentry **) (same as SIOCDELFR) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCADIFR, struct frentry **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCRMIFR, struct frentry **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCINAFR, struct frentry **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCINIFR, struct frentry **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCSETFF, u_int *) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOGGETFF, u_int *) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCGETFS, struct friostat **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCIPFFL, int *) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCIPFFB, int *) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCSWAPA, u_int *) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCFRENB, u_int *) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCFRSYN, u_int *) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCFRZST, struct friostat **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCZRLST, struct frentry **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCAUTHW, struct fr_info **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCAUTHR, struct fr_info **) |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCATHST, struct fr_authstat **) |
| .fi |
| .PP |
| The variations, SIOCADAFR vs. SIOCADIFR, allow operation on the two lists, |
| active and inactive, respectively. All of these ioctl's are implemented |
| as being routing ioctls and thus the same rules for the various routing |
| ioctls and the file descriptor are employed, mainly being that the fd must |
| be that of the device associated with the module (i.e., /dev/ipl). |
| .PP |
| The three groups of ioctls above perform adding rules to the end of the |
| list (SIOCAD*), deletion of rules from any place in the list (SIOCRM*) |
| and insertion of a rule into the list (SIOCIN*). The rule place into |
| which it is inserted is stored in the "fr_hits" field, below. |
| .LP |

| .fi |
| .PP |
| When adding a new rule, all unused fields (in the filter rule) should be |
| initialised to be zero. To insert a rule, at a particular position in the |
| filter list, the number of the rule which it is to be inserted before must |
| be put in the "fr_hits" field (the first rule is number 0). |
| .PP |

| The third ioctl, SIOCIPFFL, flushes either the input filter list, the |
| output filter list or both and it returns the number of filters removed |
| from the list(s). The values which it will take and recognise are FR_INQUE |
| and FR_OUTQUE (see above). This ioctl is also implemented for |
| \fB/dev/ipstate\fP and will flush all state tables entries if passed 0 |
| or just all those which are not established if passed 1. |
| |
| .IP "\fBGeneral Logging Flags\fP" 0 |
| There are two flags which can be set to log packets independently of the |
| rules used. These allow for packets which are either passed or blocked |
| to be logged. To set (and clear)/get these flags, two ioctls are |
| provided: |
| .IP SIOCSETFF 16 |
| Takes an unsigned integer as the parameter. The flags are then set to |
| those provided (clearing/setting all in one). |
| .nf |
| |
| FF_LOGPASS 0x10000000 |
| FF_LOGBLOCK 0x20000000 |
| FF_LOGNOMATCH 0x40000000 |
| FF_BLOCKNONIP 0x80000000 /* Solaris 2.x only */ |
| .fi |
| .IP SIOCGETFF 16 |
| Takes a pointer to an unsigned integer as the parameter. A copy of the |
| flags currently in used is copied to user space. |
| .IP "\fBFilter statistics\fP" 0 |
| Statistics on the various operations performed by this package on packets |
| is kept inside the kernel. These statistics apply to packets traversing |
| through the kernel. To retrieve this structure, use this ioctl: |
| .nf |
| |
| ioctl(fd, SIOCGETFS, struct friostat *) |
| |
| struct friostat { |
| struct filterstats f_st[2]; |
| struct frentry *f_fin[2]; |
| struct frentry *f_fout[2]; |
| struct frentry *f_acctin[2]; |
| struct frentry *f_acctout[2]; |
| struct frentry *f_auth; |
| u_long f_froute[2]; |
| int f_active; /* 1 or 0 - active rule set */ |
| int f_defpass; /* default pass - from fr_pass */ |
| int f_running; /* 1 if running, else 0 */ |
| int f_logging; /* 1 if enabled, else 0 */ |
| char f_version[32]; /* version string */ |
| }; |
| |
| struct filterstats { |
| u_long fr_pass; /* packets allowed */ |
| u_long fr_block; /* packets denied */ |
| u_long fr_nom; /* packets which don't match any rule */ |
| u_long fr_ppkl; /* packets allowed and logged */ |
| u_long fr_bpkl; /* packets denied and logged */ |
| u_long fr_npkl; /* packets unmatched and logged */ |
| u_long fr_pkl; /* packets logged */ |
| u_long fr_skip; /* packets to be logged but buffer full */ |
| u_long fr_ret; /* packets for which a return is sent */ |
| u_long fr_acct; /* packets for which counting was performed */ |
| u_long fr_bnfr; /* bad attempts to allocate fragment state */ |
| u_long fr_nfr; /* new fragment state kept */ |
| u_long fr_cfr; /* add new fragment state but complete pkt */ |
| u_long fr_bads; /* bad attempts to allocate packet state */ |
| u_long fr_ads; /* new packet state kept */ |
| u_long fr_chit; /* cached hit */ |
| u_long fr_pull[2]; /* good and bad pullup attempts */ |
| #if SOLARIS |
| u_long fr_notdata; /* PROTO/PCPROTO that have no data */ |
| u_long fr_nodata; /* mblks that have no data */ |
| u_long fr_bad; /* bad IP packets to the filter */ |
| u_long fr_notip; /* packets passed through no on ip queue */ |
| u_long fr_drop; /* packets dropped - no info for them! */ |
| #endif |
| }; |
| .fi |
| If we wanted to retrieve all the statistics and reset the counters back to |
| 0, then the ioctl() call would be made to SIOCFRZST rather than SIOCGETFS. |
| In addition to the statistics above, each rule keeps a hit count, counting |
| both number of packets and bytes. To reset these counters for a rule, |
| load the various rule information into a frentry structure and call |
| SIOCZRLST. |
| .IP "Swapping Active lists" 0 |
| IP Filter supports two lists of rules for filtering and accounting: an |
| active list and an inactive list. This allows for large scale rule base |
| changes to be put in place atomically with otherwise minimal interruption. |
| Which of the two is active can be changed using the SIOCSWAPA ioctl. It |
| is important to note that no passed argument is recognised and that the |
| value returned is that of the list which is now inactive. |
