IPv6 Firewall Configuration
###########################

********
Overview
********

In this section there's useful information of all firewall configuration that
can be done regarding IPv6, and appropriate op-mode commands.
Configuration commands covered in this section:

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ...

From main structure defined in :doc:`Firewall Overview</configuration/firewall/index>`
in this section you can find detailed information only for the next part
of the general structure:

.. code-block:: none

   - set firewall
       * ipv6
            - forward
               + filter
            - input
               + filter
            - output
               + filter
            - name
               + custom_name

For transit traffic, which is received by the router and forwarded, base chain
is **forward**. A simplified packet flow diagram for transit traffic is shown
next:

.. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-fwd-packet-flow.png

Where firewall base chain to configure firewall filtering rules for transit
traffic is ``set firewall ipv6 forward filter ...``, which happens in stage 5,
highlighted with red color.

For traffic towards the router itself, base chain is **input**, while traffic
originated by the router, base chain is **output**.
A new simplified packet flow diagram is shown next, which shows the path
for traffic destined to the router itself, and traffic generated by the
router (starting from circle number 6):

.. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-input-packet-flow.png

Base chain is for traffic toward the router is ``set firewall ipv6 input
filter ...``

And base chain for traffic generated by the router is ``set firewall ipv6
output filter ...``

.. note:: **Important note about default-actions:**
   If default action for any base chain is not defined, then the default
   action is set to **accept** for that chain. For custom chains, if default
   action is not defined, then the default-action is set to **drop**

Custom firewall chains can be created, with commands
``set firewall ipv6 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.

******************************
Firewall - IPv6 Rules
******************************

For firewall filtering, firewall rules needs to be created. Each rule is
numbered, has an action to apply if the rule is matched, and the ability
to specify multiple criteria matchers. Data packets go through the rules
from 1 - 999999, so order is crucial. At the first match the action of the
rule will be executed.

Actions
=======

If a rule is defined, then an action must be defined for it. This tells the
firewall what to do if all criteria matchers defined for such rule do match.

The action can be :

   * ``accept``: accept the packet.

   * ``continue``: continue parsing next rule.

   * ``drop``: drop the packet.

   * ``reject``: reject the packet.

   * ``jump``: jump to another custom chain.

   * ``return``: Return from the current chain and continue at the next rule
     of the last chain.

   * ``queue``: Enqueue packet to userspace.

   * ``synproxy``: synproxy the packet.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> action
   [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return | synproxy]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> action
   [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return | synproxy]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> action
   [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999> action
   [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]

   This required setting defines the action of the current rule. If action is
   set to jump, then jump-target is also needed.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   jump-target <text>

   To be used only when action is set to ``jump``. Use this command to specify
   jump target.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   queue <0-65535>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   queue <0-65535>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   queue <0-65535>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   queue <0-65535>

   To be used only when action is set to ``queue``. Use this command to specify
   queue target to use. Queue range is also supported.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   queue-options bypass
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   queue-options bypass
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   queue-options bypass
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   queue-options bypass

   To be used only when action is set to ``queue``. Use this command to let
   packet go through firewall when no userspace software is connected to the
   queue.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   queue-options fanout
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   queue-options fanout
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   queue-options fanout
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   queue-options fanout

   To be used only when action is set to ``queue``. Use this command to
   distribute packets between several queues.

Also, **default-action** is an action that takes place whenever a packet does
not match any rule in it's chain. For base chains, possible options for
**default-action** are **accept** or **drop**. 

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter default-action
   [accept | drop]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter default-action
   [accept | drop]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter default-action
   [accept | drop]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> default-action
   [accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]

   This set the default action of the rule-set if no rule matched a packet
   criteria. If default-action is set to ``jump``, then
   ``default-jump-target`` is also needed. Note that for base chains, default
   action can only be set to ``accept`` or ``drop``, while on custom chain,
   more actions are available.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> default-jump-target <text>

   To be used only when ``default-action`` is set to ``jump``. Use this
   command to specify jump target for default rule.

.. note:: **Important note about default-actions:**
   If default action for any base chain is not defined, then the default
   action is set to **accept** for that chain. For custom chains, if default
   action is not defined, then the default-action is set to **drop**.

Firewall Logs
=============

Logging can be enable for every single firewall rule. If enabled, other
log options can be defined. 

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999> log

   Enable logging for the matched packet. If this configuration command is not
   present, then log is not enabled.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter default-log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter default-log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter default-log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> default-log

   Use this command to enable the logging of the default action on
   the specified chain.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   log-options level [emerg | alert | crit | err | warn | notice
   | info | debug]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   log-options level [emerg | alert | crit | err | warn | notice
   | info | debug]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   log-options level [emerg | alert | crit | err | warn | notice
   | info | debug]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   log-options level [emerg | alert | crit | err | warn | notice
   | info | debug]

   Define log-level. Only applicable if rule log is enable.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   log-options group <0-65535>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   log-options group <0-65535>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   log-options group <0-65535>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   log-options group <0-65535>

   Define log group to send message to. Only applicable if rule log is enable.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   log-options snapshot-length <0-9000>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>

   log-options queue-threshold <0-65535>

   Define number of packets to queue inside the kernel before sending them to
   userspace. Only applicable if rule log is enable and log group is defined.

Firewall Description
====================

For reference, a description can be defined for every single rule, and for
every defined custom chain.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> description <text>

   Provide a rule-set description to a custom firewall chain.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999> description <text>

   Provide a description for each rule.

Rule Status
===========

When defining a rule, it is enable by default. In some cases, it is useful to
just disable the rule, rather than removing it.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> disable
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> disable
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> disable
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999> disable

   Command for disabling a rule but keep it in the configuration.

Matching criteria
=================

There are a lot of matching criteria against which the packet can be tested.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   connection-status nat [destination | source]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   connection-status nat [destination | source]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   connection-status nat [destination | source]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   connection-status nat [destination | source]

   Match criteria based on nat connection status.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   connection-mark <1-2147483647>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   connection-mark <1-2147483647>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   connection-mark <1-2147483647>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   connection-mark <1-2147483647>

   Match criteria based on connection mark.

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   source address [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   source address [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   source address [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   source address [address | addressrange | CIDR]

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR]

   Match criteria based on source and/or destination address. This is similar
   to the network groups part, but here you are able to negate the matching
   addresses.

   .. code-block:: none

      set firewall ipv6 name FOO rule 100 source address 2001:db8::202

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   source address-mask [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   source address-mask [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   source address-mask [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   source address-mask [address]

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999>
   destination address-mask [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999>
   destination address-mask [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999>
   destination address-mask [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name <name> rule <1-999999>
   destination address-mask [address]

   An arbitrary netmask can be applied to mask addresses to only match against
   a specific portion. This is particularly useful with IPv6 as rules will
   remain valid if the IPv6 prefix changes and the host
   portion of systems IPv6 address is static (for example, with SLAAC or
   `tokenised IPv6 addresses
   <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/id/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02.txt>`_)
   
   This functions for both individual addresses and address groups.

   .. code-block:: none

      # Match any IPv6 address with the suffix ::0000:0000:0000:beef
      set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 100 destination address ::beef
      set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 100 destination address-mask ::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
      # Address groups
      set firewall group ipv6-address-group WEBSERVERS address ::1000
      set firewall group ipv6-address-group WEBSERVERS address ::2000
      set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 200 source group address-group WEBSERVERS
      set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 200 source address-mask ::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
