This module is a part of the infrastructure that enables +a transparent bridging IP firewall and is only useful for kernel versions +above version 2.5.44. +.TP +.B --physdev-in name +Name of a bridge port via which a packet is received (only for +packets entering the +.BR INPUT , +.B FORWARD +and +.B PREROUTING +chains). If the interface name ends in a "+", then any +interface which begins with this name will match. If the packet didn't arrive +through a bridge device, this packet won't match this option, unless '!' is used. +.TP +.B --physdev-out name +Name of a bridge port via which a packet is going to be sent (for packets +entering the +.BR FORWARD , +.B OUTPUT +and +.B POSTROUTING +chains). If the interface name ends in a "+", then any +interface which begins with this name will match. Note that in the +.BR nat " and " mangle +.B OUTPUT +chains one cannot match on the bridge output port, however one can in the +.B "filter OUTPUT" +chain. If the packet won't leave by a bridge device or it is yet unknown what +the output device will be, then the packet won't match this option, unless +'!' is used. +.TP +.B --physdev-is-in +Matches if the packet has entered through a bridge interface. +.TP +.B --physdev-is-out +Matches if the packet will leave through a bridge interface. +.TP +.B --physdev-is-bridged +Matches if the packet is being bridged and therefore is not being routed. +This is only useful in the FORWARD and POSTROUTING chains. |
