12 config NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
13 tristate "IPv4 connection tracking support (required for NAT)"
14 depends on NF_CONNTRACK
15 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
18 Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
19 through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
22 This is IPv4 support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.
23 Layer 3 independent connection tracking is experimental scheme
24 which generalize ip_conntrack to support other layer 3 protocols.
26 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
28 config NF_CONNTRACK_PROC_COMPAT
29 bool "proc/sysctl compatibility with old connection tracking"
30 depends on NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS && NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
33 This option enables /proc and sysctl compatibility with the old
34 layer 3 dependent connection tracking. This is needed to keep
35 old programs that have not been adapted to the new names working.
40 tristate "IP Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"
41 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
43 Netfilter has the ability to queue packets to user space: the
44 netlink device can be used to access them using this driver.
46 This option enables the old IPv4-only "ip_queue" implementation
47 which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_queue" code (see
48 CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE).
50 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
53 tristate "IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)"
54 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
55 select NETFILTER_XTABLES
57 iptables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
58 The packet filtering and full NAT (masquerading, port forwarding,
59 etc) subsystems now use this: say `Y' or `M' here if you want to use
62 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
68 tristate '"ah" match support'
69 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
71 This match extension allows you to match a range of SPIs
72 inside AH header of IPSec packets.
74 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
76 config IP_NF_MATCH_ECN
77 tristate '"ecn" match support'
78 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
79 select NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_ECN
81 This is a backwards-compat option for the user's convenience
82 (e.g. when running oldconfig). It selects
83 CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_ECN.
85 config IP_NF_MATCH_RPFILTER
86 tristate '"rpfilter" reverse path filter match support'
87 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
89 This option allows you to match packets whose replies would
90 go out via the interface the packet came in.
92 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
93 The module will be called ipt_rpfilter.
95 config IP_NF_MATCH_TTL
96 tristate '"ttl" match support'
97 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
98 select NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_HL
100 This is a backwards-compat option for the user's convenience
101 (e.g. when running oldconfig). It selects
102 CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_HL.
104 # `filter', generic and specific targets
106 tristate "Packet filtering"
107 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
109 Packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of
110 rules for simple packet filtering at local input, forwarding and
111 local output. See the man page for iptables(8).
113 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
115 config IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT
116 tristate "REJECT target support"
117 depends on IP_NF_FILTER
118 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
120 The REJECT target allows a filtering rule to specify that an ICMP
121 error should be issued in response to an incoming packet, rather
122 than silently being dropped.
124 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
126 config IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG
127 tristate "ULOG target support"
128 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
131 This option enables the old IPv4-only "ipt_ULOG" implementation
132 which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_log" code (see
133 CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_LOG).
135 This option adds a `ULOG' target, which allows you to create rules in
136 any iptables table. The packet is passed to a userspace logging
137 daemon using netlink multicast sockets; unlike the LOG target
138 which can only be viewed through syslog.
140 The appropriate userspace logging daemon (ulogd) may be obtained from
141 <http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html>
143 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
145 # NAT + specific targets: nf_conntrack
148 depends on NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
149 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
152 The IPv4 NAT option allows masquerading, port forwarding and other
153 forms of full Network Address Port Translation. It is controlled by
154 the `nat' table in iptables: see the man page for iptables(8).
156 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
160 config IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE
161 tristate "MASQUERADE target support"
162 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
164 Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are
165 changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and
166 if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is
167 only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP
168 address will be different on next dialup).
170 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
172 config IP_NF_TARGET_NETMAP
173 tristate "NETMAP target support"
174 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
176 NETMAP is an implementation of static 1:1 NAT mapping of network
177 addresses. It maps the network address part, while keeping the host
180 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
182 config IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT
183 tristate "REDIRECT target support"
184 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
186 REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
187 mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
188 come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
189 useful for transparent proxies.
191 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
195 config NF_NAT_SNMP_BASIC
196 tristate "Basic SNMP-ALG support"
197 depends on NF_CONNTRACK_SNMP && NF_NAT_IPV4
198 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
199 default NF_NAT && NF_CONNTRACK_SNMP
202 This module implements an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for
203 SNMP payloads. In conjunction with NAT, it allows a network
204 management system to access multiple private networks with
205 conflicting addresses. It works by modifying IP addresses
206 inside SNMP payloads to match IP-layer NAT mapping.
208 This is the "basic" form of SNMP-ALG, as described in RFC 2962
210 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
212 # If they want FTP, set to $CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT (m or y),
213 # or $CONFIG_IP_NF_FTP (m or y), whichever is weaker.

250 # mangle + specific targets
252 tristate "Packet mangling"
253 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
255 This option adds a `mangle' table to iptables: see the man page for
256 iptables(8). This table is used for various packet alterations
257 which can effect how the packet is routed.
259 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

263 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE && EXPERIMENTAL
264 depends on NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
265 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
266 select NF_CONNTRACK_MARK
268 The CLUSTERIP target allows you to build load-balancing clusters of
269 network servers without having a dedicated load-balancing
270 router/server/switch.
272 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
274 config IP_NF_TARGET_ECN
275 tristate "ECN target support"
276 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
277 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
279 This option adds a `ECN' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
282 You can use this target to remove the ECN bits from the IPv4 header of
283 an IP packet. This is particularly useful, if you need to work around
284 existing ECN blackholes on the internet, but don't want to disable
285 ECN support in general.
287 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

290 tristate '"TTL" target support'
291 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED && IP_NF_MANGLE
292 select NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL
294 This is a backwards-compatible option for the user's convenience
295 (e.g. when running oldconfig). It selects
296 CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL.
298 # raw + specific targets
300 tristate 'raw table support (required for NOTRACK/TRACE)'
302 This option adds a `raw' table to iptables. This table is the very
303 first in the netfilter framework and hooks in at the PREROUTING
306 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
307 <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. If unsure, say `N'.
309 # security table for MAC policy
310 config IP_NF_SECURITY
311 tristate "Security table"
313 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
315 This option adds a `security' table to iptables, for use
316 with Mandatory Access Control (MAC) policy.

323 config IP_NF_ARPTABLES
324 tristate "ARP tables support"
325 select NETFILTER_XTABLES
326 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
328 arptables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
329 The ARP packet filtering and mangling (manipulation)subsystems
330 use this: say Y or M here if you want to use either of those.
332 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
336 config IP_NF_ARPFILTER
337 tristate "ARP packet filtering"
339 ARP packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of
340 rules for simple ARP packet filtering at local input and
341 local output. On a bridge, you can also specify filtering rules
342 for forwarded ARP packets. See the man page for arptables(8).
344 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
346 config IP_NF_ARP_MANGLE
