Defined Type: iptables::rule

Defined in:
manifests/rule.pp

Overview

Add rules to the IPTables configuration file

### Result:

*filter
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:LOCAL-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j LOCAL-INPUT
-A FORWARD -j LOCAL-INPUT
-A LOCAL-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT
-A LOCAL-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A LOCAL-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A LOCAL-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4 --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
-A LOCAL-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A LOCAL-INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "IPT:"
-A LOCAL-INPUT -j DROP
COMMIT

Examples:

Add a TCP Allow Rule

iptables::rule { 'example':
  content => '-A LOCAL-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4 --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT'
}

Parameters:

  • content (String) —

    The exact content of the rule that should be added

  • table (String) (defaults to: 'filter') —

    The name of the table you are adding to

    • Usual names include (but are not limited to):

      * filter
* mangle
* nat
* raw
* security
  • first (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Prepend this rule to the rule set

  • absolute (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Make sure that this rule is absolutely first, or last, depending on the setting of “first“

    • If “first“ is true, this rule will be at the top of the list

    • If “first“ is false, this rule will be at the bottom of the list

    • For all “absolute“ rules, alphabetical sorting still takes place

  • order (Integer[0]) (defaults to: 11) —

    The order in which the rule should appear

    • 1 is the minimum and 9999999 is the maximum

    • The following ordering ranges are suggested (but not enforced):

      * 1     -> ESTABLISHED,RELATED rules
* 2-5   -> Standard ACCEPT/DENY rules
* 6-10  -> Jumps to other rule sets
* 11-20 -> Pure accept rules
* 22-30 -> Logging and rejection rules
  • header (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Automatically add the line header “-A LOCAL-INPUT“

  • apply_to (Iptables::ApplyTo) (defaults to: 'auto') —

    The IPTables network type to which to apply this rule

    • ipv4 -> iptables

    • ipv6 -> ip6tables

    • all -> Both

    • auto -> Try to figure it out from the rule, will not pick “all“
