| Henrik Nordstrom | c279413 | 2004-01-22 15:04:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | This module matches on the bridge port input and output devices enslaved |
| 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. |

| Henrik Nordstrom | c279413 | 2004-01-22 15:04:24 +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. |

| 22 | and |

| 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" |

| 31 | the output device will be, then the packet won't match this option, |
| 32 | unless '!' is used. |
