| 2 | to a bridge device. This module is a part of the infrastructure that enables |
| 3 | a transparent bridging IP firewall and is only useful for kernel versions |
| 4 | above version 2.5.44. |

| Bart De Schuymer | 13218fb | 2004-09-12 22:37:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7 | Name of a bridge port via which a packet is received (only for |
| 8 | packets entering the |
| 9 | .BR INPUT , |
| 10 | .B FORWARD |
| 11 | and |
| 12 | .B PREROUTING |
| 13 | chains). If the interface name ends in a "+", then any |
| 14 | interface which begins with this name will match. If the packet didn't arrive |
| 15 | through a bridge device, this packet won't match this option, unless '!' is used. |

| Bart De Schuymer | 13218fb | 2004-09-12 22:37:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | Name of a bridge port via which a packet is going to be sent (for packets |
| 19 | entering the |

| 21 | .B OUTPUT |
| 22 | and |
| 23 | .B POSTROUTING |
| 24 | chains). If the interface name ends in a "+", then any |
| 25 | interface which begins with this name will match. Note that in the |
| 26 | .BR nat " and " mangle |
| 27 | .B OUTPUT |
| 28 | chains one cannot match on the bridge output port, however one can in the |
| 29 | .B "filter OUTPUT" |
| 30 | chain. If the packet won't leave by a bridge device or it is yet unknown what |
| 31 | the output device will be, then the packet won't match this option, unless |
| 32 | '!' is used. |
