NAME

       firehol-mark - mark traffic for traffic shaping tools

SYNOPSIS

       mark value chain rule-params

DESCRIPTION

       The  mark  helper  command  sets  a  mark  on  packets  that  can be matched by traffic shaping tools for
       controlling the traffic.

              Note

              To set a mark on whole connections, see firehol-connmark(5).  There is also a mark parameter which
              allows matching marks within individual rules (see firehol-params(5)).

       The value is the mark value to set (a 32 bit integer).

       The chain will be used to find traffic to mark.  It can  be  any  of  the  iptables(8)  built  in  chains
       belonging  to the mangle table.  The chain names are: INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT, PREROUTING and POSTROUTING.
       The names are case-sensitive.

       The rule-params define a set of rule parameters to match the traffic that is  to  be  marked  within  the
       chosen chain.  See firehol-params(5) for more details.

       Any  mark  commands  will  affect  all traffic matched.  They must be declared before the first router or
       interface.

              Note

              If you want to do policy based routing based on iptables(8) marks, you will need  to  disable  the
              Root Path Filtering on the interfaces involved (rp_filter in sysctl).

EXAMPLES

               # mark with 1, packets sent by the local machine
               mark 1 OUTPUT

               # mark with 2, packets routed by the local machine
               mark 2 FORWARD

               # mark with 3, packets routed by the local machine, sent from
               #              192.0.2.2 destined for port TCP/25 of 198.51.100.1
               mark 3 FORWARD proto tcp dport 25 dst 198.51.100.1 src 192.0.2.2
