### <a name="firewall"></a>`firewall`

This type provides the capability to manage firewall rules within puppet via iptables.

**Autorequires:**

If Puppet is managing the iptables chains specified in the
`chain` or `jump` parameters, the firewall resource will autorequire
those firewallchain resources.

If Puppet is managing the iptables, iptables-persistent, or iptables-services packages,
the firewall resource will autorequire those packages to ensure that any required binaries are
installed.

##### `hashlimit_dstmask`

Data type: `Optional[Integer[0,32]]`

      When --hashlimit-mode srcip is used, all destination addresses encountered will be grouped according to the given prefix length
      and the so-created subnet will be subject to hashlimit.
      Prefix must be between (inclusive) 0 and 32.

      and the so-created subnet will be subject to hashlimit.
      Prefix must be between (inclusive) 0 and 32.
      Note that --hashlimit-srcmask 0 is basically doing the same thing as not specifying srcip for --hashlimit-mode, but is technically more expensive.

##### `hashlimit_upto`

      number of seconds.

##### `rsource`

Data type: `Optional[Boolean]`

      Recent module; add the source IP address to the list.
      Mutually exclusive with `rdest`
      The recent module defaults this behaviour to true when recent is set.

##### `rttl`

Data type: `Optional[Boolean]`

      Recent module; may only be used in conjunction with one of `recent =>
      'rcheck'` or `recent => 'update'`. When used, this will narrow the match
      to only happen when the address is in the list and the TTL of the current
      packet matches that of the packet which hit the `recent => 'set'` rule.
      This may be useful if you have problems with people faking their source
      address in order to DoS you via this module by disallowing others access
      to your site by sending bogus packets to you.  Must be boolean true.

##### `source`

Data type: `Optional[String[1]]`

      The source address. For example:

          source => '192.168.2.0/24'

      You can also negate a mask by putting ! in front. For example:

          source => '! 192.168.2.0/24'

      The source can also be an IPv6 address if your provider supports it.

##### `sport`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[Array[Variant[Pattern[/^(?:!\s)?\d+(?:(?:\:|-)\d+)?$/],Integer]],Pattern[/^(?:!\s)?\d+(?:(?:\:|-)\d+)?$/],Integer]]`
_*this data type contains a regex that may not be accurately reflected in generated documentation_

      The source port to match for this filter (if the protocol supports
      ports). Will accept a single element or an array.

      For some firewall providers you can pass a range of ports in the format:

          sport => '1:1024'

      This would cover ports 1 to 1024.

      You can also negate a port by putting ! in front. For example:

          sport => '! 54'

      If you wish to negate multiple ports at once, then place a ! at the start of the first array
      variable. For example:

          sport => ['! 54','23']

      Note:
        This will negate all passed ports, it is not possible to negate a single one of the array.
        In order to maintain compatibility it is also possible to negate all values given in the array to achieve the same behaviour.

      Will accept a single element or an array. Each element of the array should be negated seperately.

##### `stat_every`

Data type: `Optional[Integer[1]]`

      Match one packet every nth packet. Requires `stat_mode => 'nth'`

##### `stat_mode`

Data type: `Optional[Enum[nth, random]]`

      Set the matching mode for statistic matching.

##### `stat_packet`

Data type: `Optional[Integer]`

      Set the initial counter value for the nth mode. Must be between 0 and the value of `stat_every`.
      Defaults to 0. Requires `stat_mode => 'nth'`

##### `stat_probability`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[Integer[0,1], Float[0.0,1.0]]]`

      Set the probability from 0 to 1 for a packet to be randomly matched. It works only with `stat_mode => 'random'`.

##### `state`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[Pattern[/^(?:!\s)?(?:INVALID|ESTABLISHED|NEW|RELATED|UNTRACKED)$/], Array[Pattern[/^(?:!\s)?(?:INVALID|ESTABLISHED|NEW|RELATED|UNTRACKED)$/]]]]`
_*this data type contains a regex that may not be accurately reflected in generated documentation_

      Matches a packet based on its state in the firewall stateful inspection
      table. Values can be:

      * INVALID
      * ESTABLISHED
      * NEW
      * RELATED
      * UNTRACKED
      * SNAT
      * DNAT

      Can be passed either as a single String or as an Array:

          state => 'INVALID'
          state => ['INVALID', 'ESTABLISHED']

      Values can be negated by adding a '!'.
      If you wish to negate multiple states at once, then place a ! at the start of the first array
      variable. For example:

          state => ['! INVALID', 'ESTABLISHED']

      Note:
        This will negate all passed states, it is not possible to negate a single one of the array.
        In order to maintain compatibility it is also possible to negate all values given in the array to achieve the same behaviour.

##### `string`

Data type: `Optional[String[1]]`

      String matching feature. Matches the packet against the pattern
      given as an argument.
      To negate, add a space seperated `!` to the beginning of the string.

##### `string_algo`

Data type: `Optional[Enum['bm', 'kmp']]`

      String matching feature, pattern matching strategy.

##### `string_from`

Data type: `Optional[Integer[1]]`

      String matching feature, offset from which we start looking for any matching.

##### `string_hex`

Data type: `Optional[Pattern[/^(?:!\s)?\|[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+\|$/]]`
_*this data type contains a regex that may not be accurately reflected in generated documentation_

      String matching feature. Matches the packet against the pattern
      given as an argument.
      To negate, add a space seperated `!` to the beginning of the string.

##### `string_to`

Data type: `Optional[Integer[1]]`

      String matching feature, offset up to which we should scan.

##### `table`

Data type: `Enum['nat', 'mangle', 'filter', 'raw', 'rawpost', 'broute', 'security']`

      The table the rule will exist in.
      Valid options are:

      * nat
      * mangle
      * filter
      * raw
      * rawpost

      Defaults to 'filter'

Default value: `filter`

##### `tcp_flags`

Data type: `Optional[Pattern[/^(?:!\s)?((FIN|SYN|RST|PSH|ACK|URG|ALL|NONE),?)+\s((FIN|SYN|RST|PSH|ACK|URG|ALL|NONE),?)+$/]]`
_*this data type contains a regex that may not be accurately reflected in generated documentation_

      Match when the TCP flags are as specified.
      Is a string with a list of comma-separated flag names for the mask,
      then a space, then a comma-separated list of flags that should be set.
      The flags are: FIN SYN RST PSH ACK URG ALL NONE
      Note that you specify them in the order that iptables --list-rules
      would list them to avoid having puppet think you changed the flags.

      Example: FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN matches packets with the SYN bit set and the
      ACK,RST and FIN bits cleared. Such packets are used to request
      TCP  connection initiation.
      Can be negated by placing ! in front, i.e.
        ! FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN

##### `tcp_option`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[Pattern[/^(?:!\s)?(?:[0-1][0-9]{0,2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$/], Integer[0,255]]]`
_*this data type contains a regex that may not be accurately reflected in generated documentation_

      Match when the TCP option is present or absent.
      Given as a single TCP option, optionally prefixed with '! ' to match
      on absence instead.  Only one TCP option can be matched in a given rule.
      TCP option numbers are an eight-bit field, so valid option numbers range
      from 0-255.

##### `time_contiguous`

Data type: `Optional[Boolean]`

      When time_stop is smaller than time_start value, match this as a single time period instead distinct intervals.

          jump     => 'DROP',
        }

##### `uid`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[String[1], Integer]]`

      UID or Username owner matching rule.  Accepts a single argument

#### Parameters

The following parameters are available in the `firewall` type.

* [`name`](#-firewall--name)

##### <a name="-firewall--name"></a>`name`

namevar

Data type: `Pattern[/(^\d+(?:[ \t-]\S+)+$)/]`
_*this data type contains a regex that may not be accurately reflected in generated documentation_

      The canonical name of the rule. This name is also used for ordering
      so make sure you prefix the rule with a number:

          000 this runs first
          999 this runs last

      Depending on the provider, the name of the rule can be stored using
      the comment feature of the underlying firewall subsystem.

### <a name="firewallchain"></a>`firewallchain`

This type provides the capability to manage rule chains for firewalls.

Currently this supports only iptables, ip6tables and ebtables on Linux. And
provides support for setting the default policy on chains and tables that
allow it.

#### Providers
  * iptables_chain is the only provider that supports firewallchain.

#### Features
  * iptables_chain: The provider provides iptables chain features.
  * policy: Default policy (inbuilt chains only).

#### Properties

The following properties are available in the `firewallchain` type.

##### `ensure`

Data type: `Enum[present, absent]`

      Whether this chain should be present or absent on the target system.
      Setting this to absent will first remove all rules associated with this chain and then delete the chain itself.
      Inbuilt chains however will merely remove any added rules and, if it has been changed, return their policy to the default.

Default value: `present`

##### `ignore`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[String[1], Array[String[1]]]]`

      Regex to perform on firewall rules to exempt unmanaged rules from purging.
      This is matched against the output of `iptables-save`.

      This can be a single regex, or an array of them.
      To support flags, use the ruby inline flag mechanism.
      Meaning a regex such as
        /foo/i
      can be written as
        '(?i)foo' or '(?i:foo)'

      Full example:
      ```
      firewallchain { 'INPUT:filter:IPv4':
        purge => true,
        ignore => [
          '-j fail2ban-ssh', # ignore the fail2ban jump rule
          '--comment "[^"]*(?i:ignore)[^"]*"', # ignore any rules with "ignore" (case insensitive) in the comment in the rule
        ],
      }
      ```

##### `ignore_foreign`

Data type: `Boolean`

      Ignore rules that do not match the puppet title pattern "^\d+[[:graph:][:space:]]" when purging unmanaged firewall rules in this chain.
      This can be used to ignore rules that were not put in by puppet. Beware that nothing keeps other systems from configuring firewall rules with a comment that starts with digits, and is indistinguishable from puppet-configured rules.

##### `policy`

Data type: `Optional[Enum['accept', 'drop', 'queue', 'return']]`

      This action to take when the end of the chain is reached.
      This can only be set on inbuilt chains (i.e. INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT,
      PREROUTING, POSTROUTING) and can be one of:

      * accept - the packet is accepted
      * drop - the packet is dropped
      * queue - the packet is passed userspace
      * return - the packet is returned to calling (jump) queue
                 or the default of inbuilt chains

##### `purge`

Data type: `Boolean`

Whether or not to purge unmanaged rules in this chain

#### Parameters

The following parameters are available in the `firewallchain` type.

* [`name`](#-firewallchain--name)

##### <a name="-firewallchain--name"></a>`name`

namevar

Data type: `Pattern[/^(?:\S+):(?:nat|mangle|filter|raw|rawpost|broute|security):(?:IP(?:v[46])?|ethernet)$/]`
_*this data type contains a regex that may not be accurately reflected in generated documentation_

The canonical name of the chain with the required format being `{chain}:{table}:{protocol}`.
