Activates or deactivates the filter rules.
-v
| IP version of the rules you want to activate. The value of
4 specifies IP version 4 and the value of 6 specifies IP
version 6. The default (when this flag is not used) is to activate both
IP version 4 and IP version 6. All the filter rules defined in the
filter rule table for the IP version(s) will be activated or
deactivated.
|
-d
| Deactivates the active filter rules. This flag cannot be used with
the -u flag.
|
-u
| Activates the filter rules in the filter rule table. This flag
cannot be used with the -d flag.
|
-z
| Sets the action of the default filter rule to Permit (P) or
Deny (D). The default filter rule is the last rule in the
filter rule table that will apply to traffic that does not apply to any other
filter rules in the table. Setting the action of this rule to Permit
will allow all traffic that does not apply to any other filter rules.
Setting this action to Deny will not allow traffic that does not apply to any
other filter rules.
|
-g
| This flag is used to either start (start) or stop
(stop) the log functionality of the filter rule module.
|
-i
| Initialization flag. This flag only applies when the -u
flag is also used. If the -i flag is used, all the filter
rules with an "active" status will be activated. If not used, all the
filter rules in the filter rule table will be activated.
