NAME

       ipsets - Specifying the name if an ipset in Shorewall configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       +ipsetname

       +ipsetname[flag,...]

       +[ipsetname,...]

DESCRIPTION

       Note: In the above syntax descriptions, the square brackets ("[]") are to be taken literally rather than
       as meta-characters.

       In most places where a network address may be entered, an ipset may be substituted. Set names must be
       prefixed by the character "+", must start with a letter and may be composed of alphanumeric characters,
       "-" and "_".

       Whether the set is matched against the packet source or destination is determined by which column the set
       name appears (SOURCE or DEST). For those set types that specify a tuple, two alternative syntaxes are
       available:
           [number] - Indicates that 'src' or
                   'dst' should be repeated number times.
                   Example: myset[2].
           [flag,...] where
                 flag is src or
                 dst. Example: myset[src,dst].

       In a SOURCE column, the following pairs are equivalent:

       •   +myset[2] and +myset[src,src]

       In a DEST column, the following pairs are equivalent:

       •   +myset[2] and +myset[dst,dst]

       Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.14, multiple source or destination matches may be specified by enclosing the
       set names within +[...]. The set names need not be prefixed with '+'. When such a list of sets is
       specified, matching packets must match all of the listed sets.

       For information about set lists and exclusion, see shorewall-exclusion[1] (5).

       Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.16, you can increment one or more nfacct objects each time a packet matches
       an ipset. You do that by listing the objects separated by commas within parentheses.

       Example:
           +myset[src](myobject)

       In that example, when the source address of a packet matches the myset ipset, the myobject nfacct counter
       will be incremented.

EXAMPLES

       +myset

       +myset[src]

       +myset[2]

       +[myset1,myset2[dst]]
