cdist-type__firewalld_rule - Configure firewalld rules

This cdist type allows you to manage rules in firewalld using the direct way (i.e. no zone support).

The rule to apply. Essentially an firewalld command line without firewalld in front of it.
Either ipv4, ipv4 or eb. See firewall-cmd(1)
The table to use (like filter or nat). See firewall-cmd(1).
The chain to use (like INPUT_direct or FORWARD_direct). See firewall-cmd(1).
The priority to use (0 is topmost). See firewall-cmd(1).

'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present'

# Allow access from entrance.place4.ungleich.ch
__firewalld_rule entrance \

--protocol ipv4 \
--table filter \
--chain INPUT_direct \
--priority 0 \
--rule '-s entrance.place4.ungleich.ch -j ACCEPT' # Allow forwarding of traffic from br0 __firewalld_rule vm-forward --protocol ipv4 \
