NAME
firewalld.zone - firewalld zone configuration files
SYNOPSIS
/etc/firewalld/zones/zone.xml
/usr/lib/firewalld/zones/zone.xml
DESCRIPTION
A firewalld zone configuration file contains the information for a
zone. These are the zone description, services, ports, protocols,
icmp-blocks, masquerade, forward-ports, intra-zone forwarding and rich
language rules in an XML file format. The file name has to be
zone_name.xml where length of zone_name is currently limited to 17
chars.
This is the structure of a zone configuration file:

The config can contain these tags and attributes. Some of them are
mandatory, others optional.
zone
The mandatory zone start and end tag defines the zone. This tag can
only be used once in a zone configuration file. There are optional
attributes for zones:
version="string"
To give the zone a version.
target="ACCEPT|%%REJECT%%|DROP"
Can be used to accept, reject or drop every packet that doesn't
match any rule (port, service, etc.). The ACCEPT target is used in
trusted zone to accept every packet not matching any rule. The
%%REJECT%% target is used in block zone to reject (with default
firewalld reject type) every packet not matching any rule. The DROP
target is used in drop zone to drop every packet not matching any
rule. If the target is not specified, every packet not matching any
rule will be rejected.
ingress-priority="priority"
Ingress priority for classifying traffic into a zone. A zone with a
lower priority value will be considered before a zone with a higher
priority value. This allows custom ordering of zone dispatch.
egress-priority="priority"
Same as ingress-priority, but for egress classification.
interface
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times. It can
be used to bind an interface to a zone. You don't need this for
NetworkManager-managed interfaces, because NetworkManager binds
interfaces to zones automatically. See also 'How to set or change a
zone for a connection?' in firewalld.zones(5). You can use it as a
fallback mechanism for interfaces that can't be managed via
NetworkManager. An interface entry has exactly one attribute:
name="string"
The name of the interface to be bound to the zone.
source
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times. It can
be used to bind a source address, address range, a MAC address or an
ipset to a zone. A source entry has exactly one of these attributes:
address="address[/mask]"
The source is either an IP address or a network IP address with a
mask for IPv4 or IPv6. The network family (IPv4/IPv6) will be
automatically discovered. For IPv4, the mask can be a network mask
or a plain number. For IPv6 the mask is a plain number. The use of
host names is not supported.
mac="MAC"
The source is a MAC address. It must be of the form
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX.
ipset="ipset"
The source is an ipset.
icmp-block-inversion
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used only once in a zone
configuration. This flag inverts the icmp block handling. Only enabled
ICMP types are accepted and all others are rejected in the zone.
forward
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used only once in a zone
configuration. This flag enables intra-zone forwarding. When enabled,
packets will be forwarded between interfaces or sources within a zone,
even if the zone's target is not set to ACCEPT.
short
Is an optional start and end tag and is used to give a more readable
name.
description
Is an optional start and end tag to have a description.
service
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have
more than one service entry enabled. A service entry has exactly one
attribute:
name="string"
The name of the service to be enabled. To get a list of valid
service names firewall-cmd --get-services can be used.
port
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have
more than one port entry. All attributes of a port entry are mandatory:
port="portid[-portid]"
The port can either be a single port number portid or a port range
portid-portid.
protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"
The protocol can either be tcp, udp, sctp or dccp.
protocol
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have
more than one protocol entry. All protocol has exactly one attribute:
value="string"
The protocol can be any protocol supported by the system. Please
have a look at /etc/protocols for supported protocols.
icmp-block
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have
more than one icmp-block entry. Each icmp-block tag has exactly one
mandatory attribute:
name="string"
The name of the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) type to be
blocked. To get a list of valid ICMP types firewall-cmd
--get-icmptypes can be used.
masquerade
Is an optional empty-element tag. It can be used only once. If it's
present masquerading is enabled.
forward-port
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have
more than one port or packet forward entry. There are mandatory and
also optional attributes for forward ports:
Mandatory attributes:
The local port and protocol to be forwarded.
port="portid[-portid]"
The port can either be a single port number portid or a port
range portid-portid.
protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"
The protocol can either be tcp, udp, sctp or dccp.
Optional attributes:
The destination of the forward. For local forwarding add to-port
only. For remote forwarding add to-addr and use to-port optionally
if the destination port on the destination machine should be
different.
to-port="portid[-portid]"
The destination port or port range to forward to. If omitted,
the value of the port= attribute will be used altogether with
the to-addr attribute.
to-addr="address"
The destination IP address either for IPv4 or IPv6.
source-port
Is an optional empty-element tag and can be used several times to have
more than one source port entry. All attributes of a source port entry
are mandatory:
port="portid[-portid]"
The port can either be a single port number portid or a port range
portid-portid.
protocol="tcp|udp|sctp|dccp"
The protocol can either be tcp, udp, sctp or dccp.
rule
Is an optional element tag and can be used several times to have more
than one rich language rule entry.
