Traffic which is received by the router on an interface which is member of a

+bridge is processed on the **Bridge Layer**. Before the bridge decision is
+made, all packets are analyzed at **Prerouting**. First filters can be applied
+here, and also rules for ignoring connection tracking system can be configured.
+The relevant configuration that acts in **prerouting** is:
-.. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-bridge-packet-flow.png
+ * ``set firewall bridge prerouting filter ...``.
-For traffic that needs to be forwarded internally by the bridge, base chain is

+For traffic that needs to be switched internally by the bridge, base chain is
+**forward**, and it's base command for filtering is ``set firewall bridge
forward filter ...``, which happens in stage 4, highlighted with red color.
+.. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-bridge-forward.png
+
+For traffic destined to the router itself, or that needs to be routed (assuming
+a layer3 bridge is configured), the base chain is **input**, the base command
+is ``set firewall bridge input filter ...`` and the path is:
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-bridge-input.png
+
+If it's not dropped, then the packet is sent to **IP Layer**, and will be
+processed by the **IP Layer** firewall: IPv4 or IPv6 ruleset. Check once again
+the :doc:`general packet flow diagram</configuration/firewall/index>` if
+needed.
+
+And for traffic that originates from the bridge itself, the base chain is
+**output**, base command is ``set firewall bridge output filter ...``, and
+the path is:
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-bridge-output.png
+
Custom bridge firewall chains can be created with the command ``set firewall bridge
name <name> ...``. In order to use such custom chain, a rule with action jump,
and the appropriate target should be defined in a base chain.
-.. note:: **Layer 3 bridge**:
- When an IP address is assigned to the bridge interface, and if traffic
- is sent to the router to this IP (for example using such IP as
- default gateway), then rules defined for **bridge firewall** won't
- match, and firewall analysis continues at **IP layer**.
