The tools are + contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number + of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>. + + For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly + recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from + <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. + +if NET + +config WANT_COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES + bool + help + This option can be selected by other options that need compat + netlink messages. + +config COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES + def_bool y + depends on COMPAT + depends on WEXT_CORE || WANT_COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES + help + This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages + to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not.

The type of + firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet + filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets + based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall, + a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more + bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more + closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level + protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based + firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local + clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but + they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if + you say Y here. + + You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as + the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without + globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one + of the computers on your local network wants to send something to + the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it + forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but + modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the + firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host + replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the + correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net + are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can + reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to + run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network + using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often + called NAT (Network Address Translation). + + Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on + the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux + box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server, + typically a caching proxy server. + + Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using + a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see" + the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet + protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter + configuration). + + Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous + masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent + proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see + <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of + these packages. + +if NETFILTER + +config NETFILTER_DEBUG + bool "Network packet filtering debugging" + depends on NETFILTER + help + You can say Y here if you want to get additional messages useful in + debugging the netfilter code. + +config NETFILTER_ADVANCED + bool "Advanced netfilter configuration" + depends on NETFILTER + default y + help + If you say Y here you can select between all the netfilter modules. + If you say N the more unusual ones will not be shown and the + basic ones needed by most people will default to 'M'. + + If unsure, say Y. + +config BRIDGE_NETFILTER + bool "Bridged IP/ARP packets filtering" + depends on BRIDGE && NETFILTER && INET + depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED + default y + ---help--- + Enabling this option will let arptables resp. iptables see bridged + ARP resp.
