EBTABLES COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
After the initial ebtables '-t table' command line argument, the
remaining arguments can be divided into several groups. These
groups are commands, miscellaneous commands, rule specifications,
match extensions, watcher extensions and target extensions.
COMMANDS
The ebtables command arguments specify the actions to perform on
the table defined with the -t argument. If you do not use the -t
argument to name a table, the commands apply to the default
filter table. Only one command may be used on the command line
at a time, except when the commands -L
and -Z
are combined or the
commands -N
and -P
are combined.
-A, --append
Append a rule to the end of the selected chain.
-D, --delete
Delete the specified rule or rules from the selected
chain. There are two ways to use this command. The first
is by specifying an interval of rule numbers to delete
(directly after -D
). Syntax: start_nr[:end_nr] (use -L
--Ln
to list the rules with their rule number). When
end_nr is omitted, all rules starting from start_nr are
deleted. Using negative numbers is allowed, for more
details about using negative numbers, see the -I
command.
The second usage is by specifying the complete rule as it
would have been specified when it was added. Only the
first encountered rule that is the same as this specified
rule, in other words the matching rule with the lowest
(positive) rule number, is deleted.
-C, --change-counters
Change the counters of the specified rule or rules from
the selected chain. There are two ways to use this
command. The first is by specifying an interval of rule
numbers to do the changes on (directly after -C
). Syntax:
start_nr[:end_nr] (use -L --Ln
to list the rules with
their rule number). The details are the same as for the -D
command. The second usage is by specifying the complete
rule as it would have been specified when it was added.
Only the counters of the first encountered rule that is
the same as this specified rule, in other words the
matching rule with the lowest (positive) rule number, are
changed. In the first usage, the counters are specified
directly after the interval specification, in the second
usage directly after -C
. First the packet counter is
specified, then the byte counter. If the specified
counters start with a '+', the counter values are added to
the respective current counter values. If the specified
counters start with a '-', the counter values are
decreased from the respective current counter values. No
bounds checking is done. If the counters don't start with
'+' or '-', the current counters are changed to the
specified counters.
-I, --insert
Insert the specified rule into the selected chain at the
specified rule number. If the rule number is not
specified, the rule is added at the head of the chain. If
the current number of rules equals N, then the specified
number can be between -N and N+1. For a positive number
i, it holds that i and i-N-1 specify the same place in the
chain where the rule should be inserted. The rule number 0
specifies the place past the last rule in the chain and
using this number is therefore equivalent to using the -A
command. Rule numbers structly smaller than 0 can be
useful when more than one rule needs to be inserted in a
chain.
-P, --policy
Set the policy for the chain to the given target. The
policy can be ACCEPT
, DROP
or RETURN
.
-F, --flush
Flush the selected chain. If no chain is selected, then
every chain will be flushed. Flushing a chain does not
change the policy of the chain, however.
-Z, --zero
Set the counters of the selected chain to zero. If no
chain is selected, all the counters are set to zero. The
-Z
command can be used in conjunction with the -L
command.
When both the -Z
and -L
commands are used together in this
way, the rule counters are printed on the screen before
they are set to zero.
-L, --list
List all rules in the selected chain. If no chain is
selected, all chains are listed.
The following options change the output of the -L
command.
--Ln
Places the rule number in front of every rule. This option
is incompatible with the --Lx
option.
--Lc
Shows the counters at the end of each rule displayed by
the -L
command. Both a frame counter (pcnt) and a byte
counter (bcnt) are displayed. The frame counter shows how
many frames have matched the specific rule, the byte
counter shows the sum of the frame sizes of these matching
frames. Using this option in combination with the --Lx
option causes the counters to be written out in the '-c
<pcnt> <bcnt>' option format.
--Lx
Changes the output so that it produces a set of ebtables
commands that construct the contents of the chain, when
specified. If no chain is specified, ebtables commands to
construct the contents of the table are given, including
commands for creating the user-defined chains (if any).
You can use this set of commands in an ebtables boot or
reload script. For example the output could be used at
system startup. The --Lx
option is incompatible with the
--Ln
listing option. Using the --Lx
option together with
the --Lc
option will cause the counters to be written out
in the '-c
<pcnt> <bcnt>' option format.
--Lmac2
Shows all MAC addresses with the same length, adding
leading zeroes if necessary. The default representation
omits leading zeroes in the addresses.
-N, --new-chain
Create a new user-defined chain with the given name. The
number of user-defined chains is limited only by the
number of possible chain names. A user-defined chain name
has a maximum length of 31 characters. The standard policy
of the user-defined chain is ACCEPT. The policy of the new
chain can be initialized to a different standard target by
using the -P
command together with the -N
command. In this
case, the chain name does not have to be specified for the
-P
command.
-X, --delete-chain
Delete the specified user-defined chain. There must be no
remaining references (jumps) to the specified chain,
otherwise ebtables will refuse to delete it. If no chain
is specified, all user-defined chains that aren't
referenced will be removed.
-E, --rename-chain
Rename the specified chain to a new name. Besides
renaming a user-defined chain, you can rename a standard
chain to a name that suits your taste. For example, if you
like PREFORWARDING more than PREROUTING, then you can use
the -E command to rename the PREROUTING chain. If you do
rename one of the standard ebtables chain names, please be
sure to mention this fact should you post a question on
the ebtables mailing lists. It would be wise to use the
standard name in your post. Renaming a standard ebtables
chain in this fashion has no effect on the structure or
functioning of the ebtables kernel table.
--init-table
Replace the current table data by the initial table data.
MISCELLANOUS COMMANDS
-V, --version
Show the version of the ebtables userspace program.
-h, --help
[list of module names]
Give a brief description of the command syntax. Here you
can also specify names of extensions and ebtables will try
to write help about those extensions. E.g. ebtables -h
snat log ip arp. Specify list_extensions to list all
extensions supported by the userspace utility.
-j, --jump
target
The target of the rule. This is one of the following
values: ACCEPT
, DROP
, CONTINUE
, RETURN
, a target extension
(see TARGET EXTENSIONS
) or a user-defined chain name.
-M, --modprobe
program
When talking to the kernel, use this program to try to
automatically load missing kernel modules.
--concurrent
Use a file lock to support concurrent scripts updating the
ebtables kernel tables.
RULE SPECIFICATIONS
The following command line arguments make up a rule specification
(as used in the add and delete commands). A "!" option before the
specification inverts the test for that specification. Apart from
these standard rule specifications there are some other command
line arguments of interest. See both the MATCH EXTENSIONS
and
the WATCHER EXTENSIONS
below.
-p, --protocol
[!] protocol
The protocol that was responsible for creating the frame.
This can be a hexadecimal number, above 0x0600, a name
(e.g. ARP ) or LENGTH
. The protocol field of the
Ethernet frame can be used to denote the length of the
header (802.2/802.3 networks). When the value of that
field is below or equals 0x0600, the value equals the size
of the header and shouldn't be used as a protocol number.
Instead, all frames where the protocol field is used as
the length field are assumed to be of the same 'protocol'.
The protocol name used in ebtables for these frames is
LENGTH
.
The file /etc/ethertypes
can be used to show readable
characters instead of hexadecimal numbers for the
protocols. For example, 0x0800 will be represented by
IPV4. The use of this file is not case sensitive. See
that file for more information. The flag --proto
is an
alias for this option.
-i, --in-interface
[!] name
The interface (bridge port) via which a frame is received
(this option is useful in the INPUT
, FORWARD
, PREROUTING
and BROUTING
chains). If the interface name ends with '+',
then any interface name that begins with this name
(disregarding '+') will match. The flag --in-if
is an
alias for this option.
--logical-in
[!] name
The (logical) bridge interface via which a frame is
received (this option is useful in the INPUT
, FORWARD
,
PREROUTING
and BROUTING
chains). If the interface name
ends with '+', then any interface name that begins with
this name (disregarding '+') will match.
-o, --out-interface
[!] name
The interface (bridge port) via which a frame is going to
be sent (this option is useful in the OUTPUT
, FORWARD
and
POSTROUTING
chains). If the interface name ends with '+',
then any interface name that begins with this name
(disregarding '+') will match. The flag --out-if
is an
alias for this option.
--logical-out
[!] name
The (logical) bridge interface via which a frame is going
to be sent (this option is useful in the OUTPUT
, FORWARD
and POSTROUTING
chains). If the interface name ends with
'+', then any interface name that begins with this name
(disregarding '+') will match.
-s, --source
[!] address[/mask]
The source MAC address. Both mask and address are written
as 6 hexadecimal numbers separated by colons.
Alternatively one can specify Unicast, Multicast,
Broadcast or BGA (Bridge Group Address):
Unicast=00:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00,
Multicast=01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00,
Broadcast=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff/ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff or
BGA=01:80:c2:00:00:00/ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Note that a
broadcast address will also match the multicast
specification. The flag --src
is an alias for this option.
-d, --destination
[!] address[/mask]
The destination MAC address. See -s
(above) for more
details on MAC addresses. The flag --dst
is an alias for
this option.
-c, --set-counter
pcnt bcnt
If used with -A
or -I
, then the packet and byte counters
of the new rule will be set to pcnt, resp. bcnt. If used
with the -C
or -D
commands, only rules with a packet and
byte count equal to pcnt, resp. bcnt will match.
MATCH EXTENSIONS
Ebtables extensions are dynamically loaded into the userspace
tool, there is therefore no need to explicitly load them with a
-m option like is done in iptables. These extensions deal with
functionality supported by kernel modules supplemental to the
core ebtables code.
802_3
Specify 802.3 DSAP/SSAP fields or SNAP type. The protocol must
be specified as LENGTH (see the option -p above).
--802_3-sap
[!] sap
DSAP and SSAP are two one byte 802.3 fields. The bytes
are always equal, so only one byte (hexadecimal) is needed
as an argument.
--802_3-type
[!] type
If the 802.3 DSAP and SSAP values are 0xaa then the SNAP
type field must be consulted to determine the payload
protocol. This is a two byte (hexadecimal) argument.
Only 802.3 frames with DSAP/SSAP 0xaa are checked for
type.
among
Match a MAC address or MAC/IP address pair versus a list of MAC
addresses and MAC/IP address pairs. A list entry has the
following format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx[=ip.ip.ip.ip][,]. Multiple
list entries are separated by a comma, specifying an IP address
corresponding to the MAC address is optional. Multiple MAC/IP
address pairs with the same MAC address but different IP address
(and vice versa) can be specified. If the MAC address doesn't
match any entry from the list, the frame doesn't match the rule
(unless "!" was used).
--among-dst
[!] list
Compare the MAC destination to the given list. If the
Ethernet frame has type IPv4 or ARP, then comparison with
MAC/IP destination address pairs from the list is
possible.
--among-src
[!] list
Compare the MAC source to the given list. If the Ethernet
frame has type IPv4 or ARP, then comparison with MAC/IP
source address pairs from the list is possible.
--among-dst-file
[!] file
Same as --among-dst
but the list is read in from the
specified file.
--among-src-file
[!] file
Same as --among-src
but the list is read in from the
specified file.
arp
Specify (R)ARP fields. The protocol must be specified as ARP or
RARP.
--arp-opcode
[!] opcode
The (R)ARP opcode (decimal or a string, for more details
see ebtables -h arp
).
--arp-htype
[!] hardware type
The hardware type, this can be a decimal or the string
Ethernet (which sets type to 1). Most (R)ARP packets have
Eternet as hardware type.
--arp-ptype
[!] protocol type
The protocol type for which the (r)arp is used
(hexadecimal or the string IPv4, denoting 0x0800). Most
(R)ARP packets have protocol type IPv4.
--arp-ip-src
[!] address[/mask]
The (R)ARP IP source address specification.
--arp-ip-dst
[!] address[/mask]
The (R)ARP IP destination address specification.
--arp-mac-src
[!] address[/mask]
The (R)ARP MAC source address specification.
--arp-mac-dst
[!] address[/mask]
The (R)ARP MAC destination address specification.
[!] --arp-gratuitous

source address and IPv4 destination address inside the ARP
header.
ip
Specify IPv4 fields. The protocol must be specified as IPv4.
--ip-source
[!] address[/mask]
The source IP address. The flag --ip-src
is an alias for
this option.
--ip-destination
[!] address[/mask]
The destination IP address. The flag --ip-dst
is an alias
for this option.
--ip-tos
[!] tos
The IP type of service, in hexadecimal numbers. IPv4
.
--ip-protocol
[!] protocol
The IP protocol. The flag --ip-proto
is an alias for this
option.
--ip-source-port
[!] port1[:port2]
The source port or port range for the IP protocols 6
(TCP), 17 (UDP), 33 (DCCP) or 132 (SCTP). The --ip-
protocol
option must be specified as TCP, UDP, DCCP or
SCTP. If port1 is omitted, 0:port2 is used; if port2 is
omitted but a colon is specified, port1:65535 is used.
The flag --ip-sport
is an alias for this option.
--ip-destination-port
[!] port1[:port2]
The destination port or port range for ip protocols 6
(TCP), 17 (UDP), 33 (DCCP) or 132 (SCTP). The --ip-
protocol
option must be specified as TCP, UDP, DCCP or
SCTP. If port1 is omitted, 0:port2 is used; if port2 is
omitted but a colon is specified, port1:65535 is used.
The flag --ip-dport
is an alias for this option.
ip6
Specify IPv6 fields. The protocol must be specified as IPv6.
--ip6-source
[!] address[/mask]
The source IPv6 address. The flag --ip6-src
is an alias
for this option.
--ip6-destination

(TCP), 17 (UDP), 33 (DCCP) or 132 (SCTP). The
--ip6-protocol
option must be specified as TCP, UDP, DCCP
or SCTP. If port1 is omitted, 0:port2 is used; if port2
is omitted but a colon is specified, port1:65535 is used.
The flag --ip6-sport
is an alias for this option.
--ip6-destination-port
[!] port1[:port2]
The destination port or port range for IPv6 protocols 6
(TCP), 17 (UDP), 33 (DCCP) or 132 (SCTP). The
--ip6-protocol
option must be specified as TCP, UDP, DCCP
or SCTP. If port1 is omitted, 0:port2 is used; if port2
is omitted but a colon is specified, port1:65535 is used.
The flag --ip6-dport
is an alias for this option.
--ip6-icmp-type
[!] {type[:type]/code[:code]|typename}
Specify ipv6-icmp type and code to match. Ranges for both
type and code are supported. Type and code are separated
by a slash. Valid numbers for type and range are 0 to 255.
To match a single type including all valid codes, symbolic
names can be used instead of numbers. The list of known
type names is shown by the command
ebtables --help ip6
This option is only valid for --ip6-prococol ipv6-icmp.
limit
This module matches at a limited rate using a token bucket
filter. A rule using this extension will match until this limit
is reached. It can be used with the --log
watcher to give
limited logging, for example. Its use is the same as the limit
match of iptables.
--limit
[value]
Maximum average matching rate: specified as a number, with
an optional /second, /minute, /hour, or /day suffix; the
default is 3/hour.
--limit-burst
[number]
Maximum initial number of packets to match: this number
gets recharged by one every time the limit specified above
is not reached, up to this number; the default is 5.
mark_m
--mark
[!] [value][/mask]
Matches frames with the given unsigned mark value. If a
value and mask are specified, the logical AND of the mark
value of the frame and the user-specified mask is taken
before comparing it with the user-specified mark value.
When only a mark value is specified, the packet only
matches when the mark value of the frame equals the user-
specified mark value. If only a mask is specified, the
logical AND of the mark value of the frame and the user-
specified mask is taken and the frame matches when the
result of this logical AND is non-zero. Only specifying a
mask is useful to match multiple mark values.
pkttype
--pkttype-type
[!] type
Matches on the Ethernet "class" of the frame, which is
determined by the generic networking code. Possible
values: broadcast (MAC destination is the broadcast
address), multicast (MAC destination is a multicast
address), host (MAC destination is the receiving network
device), or otherhost (none of the above).
stp
Specify stp BPDU (bridge protocol data unit) fields. The
destination address (-d
) must be specified as the bridge group
address (BGA). For all options for which a range of values can
be specified, it holds that if the lower bound is omitted (but
the colon is not), then the lowest possible lower bound for that
option is used, while if the upper bound is omitted (but the
colon again is not), the highest possible upper bound for that
option is used.
--stp-type
[!] type
The BPDU type (0-255), recognized non-numerical types are
config, denoting a configuration BPDU (=0), and tcn,
denothing a topology change notification BPDU (=128).
--stp-flags
[!] flag
The BPDU flag (0-255), recognized non-numerical flags are
topology-change, denoting the topology change flag (=1),
and topology-change-ack, denoting the topology change
acknowledgement flag (=128).
--stp-root-prio
[!] [prio][:prio]
The root priority (0-65535) range.
--stp-root-addr
[!] [address][/mask]
The root mac address, see the option -s
for more details.
--stp-root-cost
[!] [cost][:cost]
The root path cost (0-4294967295) range.
--stp-sender-prio
[!] [prio][:prio]
The BPDU's sender priority (0-65535) range.
--stp-sender-addr
[!] [address][/mask]
The BPDU's sender mac address, see the option -s
for more
details.
--stp-port
[!] [port][:port]
The port identifier (0-65535) range.
--stp-msg-age
[!] [age][:age]
The message age timer (0-65535) range.
--stp-max-age
[!] [age][:age]
The max age timer (0-65535) range.
--stp-hello-time
[!] [time][:time]
The hello time timer (0-65535) range.
--stp-forward-delay
[!] [delay][:delay]
The forward delay timer (0-65535) range.
vlan
Specify 802.1Q Tag Control Information fields. The protocol must
be specified as 802_1Q (0x8100).
--vlan-id
[!] id
The VLAN identifier field (VID). Decimal number from 0 to
4095.
--vlan-prio
[!] prio
The user priority field, a decimal number from 0 to 7.
The VID should be set to 0 ("null VID") or unspecified (in
the latter case the VID is deliberately set to 0).
--vlan-encap
[!] type
The encapsulated Ethernet frame type/length. Specified as
a hexadecimal number from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF or as a
symbolic name from /etc/ethertypes
.
WATCHER EXTENSIONS
Watchers only look at frames passing by, they don't modify them
nor decide to accept the frames or not. These watchers only see
the frame if the frame matches the rule, and they see it before
the target is executed.
log
The log watcher writes descriptive data about a frame to the
syslog.
--log
Log with the default loggin options: log-level= info, log-
prefix="", no ip logging, no arp logging.
--log-level
level
Defines the logging level. For the possible values, see
ebtables -h log
. The default level is info.
--log-prefix
text
Defines the prefix text to be printed at the beginning of
the line with the logging information.
--log-ip
Will log the ip information when a frame made by the ip
protocol matches the rule. The default is no ip
information logging.
--log-ip6
Will log the ipv6 information when a frame made by the
ipv6 protocol matches the rule. The default is no ipv6
information logging.
--log-arp
Will log the (r)arp information when a frame made by the
(r)arp protocols matches the rule. The default is no
(r)arp information logging.
nflog
The nflog watcher passes the packet to the loaded logging backend
in order to log the packet. This is usually used in combination
with nfnetlink_log as logging backend, which will multicast the
packet through a netlink socket to the specified multicast group.
One or more userspace processes may subscribe to the group to
receive the packets.
--nflog
Log with the default logging options
--nflog-group
nlgroup
The netlink group (1 - 2^32-1) to which packets are (only
applicable for nfnetlink_log). The default value is 1.
--nflog-prefix
prefix
A prefix string to include in the log message, up to 30
characters long, useful for distinguishing messages in the
logs.
--nflog-range
size
The number of bytes to be copied to userspace (only
applicable for nfnetlink_log). nfnetlink_log instances may
specify their own range, this option overrides it.
--nflog-threshold
size
Number of packets to queue inside the kernel before
sending them to userspace (only applicable for
nfnetlink_log). Higher values result in less overhead per
packet, but increase delay until the packets reach
userspace. The default value is 1.
ulog
The ulog watcher passes the packet to a userspace logging daemon
using netlink multicast sockets. This differs from the log
watcher in the sense that the complete packet is sent to
userspace instead of a descriptive text and that netlink
multicast sockets are used instead of the syslog. This watcher
enables parsing of packets with userspace programs, the physical
bridge in and out ports are also included in the netlink
messages. The ulog watcher module accepts 2 parameters when the
module is loaded into the kernel (e.g. with modprobe): nlbufsiz
specifies how big the buffer for each netlink multicast group is.
If you say nlbufsiz=8192, for example, up to eight kB of packets
will get accumulated in the kernel until they are sent to
userspace. It is not possible to allocate more than 128kB. Please
also keep in mind that this buffer size is allocated for each
nlgroup you are using, so the total kernel memory usage increases
by that factor. The default is 4096. flushtimeout
specifies
after how many hundredths of a second the queue should be
flushed, even if it is not full yet. The default is 10 (one tenth
of a second).
--ulog
Use the default settings: ulog-prefix="", ulog-nlgroup=1,
ulog-cprange=4096, ulog-qthreshold=1.
--ulog-prefix
text
Defines the prefix included with the packets sent to
userspace.
--ulog-nlgroup
group
Defines which netlink group number to use (a number from 1
to 32). Make sure the netlink group numbers used for the
iptables ULOG target differ from those used for the
ebtables ulog watcher. The default group number is 1.
--ulog-cprange
range
Defines the maximum copy range to userspace, for packets
matching the rule. The default range is 0, which means the
maximum copy range is given by nlbufsiz
. A maximum copy
range larger than 128*1024 is meaningless as the packets
sent to userspace have an upper size limit of 128*1024.
--ulog-qthreshold
threshold
Queue at most threshold number of packets before sending
them to userspace with a netlink socket. Note that packets
can be sent to userspace before the queue is full, this
happens when the ulog kernel timer goes off (the frequency
of this timer depends on flushtimeout
).
TARGET EXTENSIONS
arpreply
The arpreply
target can be used in the PREROUTING
chain of the
nat
table. If this target sees an ARP request it will
automatically reply with an ARP reply. The used MAC address for
the reply can be specified. The protocol must be specified as
ARP. When the ARP message is not an ARP request or when the ARP
request isn't for an IP address on an Ethernet network, it is
ignored by this target (CONTINUE
). When the ARP request is
malformed, it is dropped (DROP
).
--arpreply-mac
address
Specifies the MAC address to reply with: the Ethernet
source MAC and the ARP payload source MAC will be filled
in with this address.
--arpreply-target
target
Specifies the standard target. After sending the ARP
reply, the rule still has to give a standard target so
ebtables knows what to do with the ARP request. The
default target is DROP
.
dnat
The dnat
target can only be used in the PREROUTING
and OUTPUT
chains of the nat
table. It specifies that the destination MAC
address has to be changed.
--to-destination
address
Change the destination MAC address to the specified
address. The flag --to-dst
is an alias for this option.
--dnat-target
target
Specifies the standard target. After doing the dnat, the
rule still has to give a standard target so ebtables knows
what to do with the dnated frame. The default target is
ACCEPT
. Making it CONTINUE
could let you use multiple
target extensions on the same frame. Making it DROP
only
makes sense in the BROUTING
chain but using the redirect
target is more logical there. RETURN
is also allowed. Note
that using RETURN
in a base chain is not allowed (for
obvious reasons).
mark
The mark
target can be used in every chain of every table. It is
possible to use the marking of a frame/packet in both ebtables
and iptables, if the bridge-nf code is compiled into the kernel.
Both put the marking at the same place. This allows for a form of
communication between ebtables and iptables.
--mark-set
value
Mark the frame with the specified non-negative value.
--mark-or
value
Or the frame with the specified non-negative value.
--mark-and
value
And the frame with the specified non-negative value.
--mark-xor
value
Xor the frame with the specified non-negative value.
--mark-target
target
Specifies the standard target. After marking the frame,
the rule still has to give a standard target so ebtables
knows what to do. The default target is ACCEPT
. Making it
CONTINUE
can let you do other things with the frame in
subsequent rules of the chain.
redirect
The redirect
target will change the MAC target address to that of
the bridge device the frame arrived on. This target can only be
used in the PREROUTING
chain of the nat
table. The MAC address
of the bridge is used as destination address."
--redirect-target
target
Specifies the standard target. After doing the MAC
redirect, the rule still has to give a standard target so
ebtables knows what to do. The default target is ACCEPT
.
Making it CONTINUE
could let you use multiple target
extensions on the same frame. Making it DROP
in the
BROUTING
chain will let the frames be routed. RETURN
is
also allowed. Note that using RETURN
in a base chain is
not allowed.
snat
The snat
target can only be used in the POSTROUTING
chain of the
nat
table. It specifies that the source MAC address has to be
changed.
--to-source
address
Changes the source MAC address to the specified address.
The flag --to-src
is an alias for this option.
--snat-target
target
Specifies the standard target. After doing the snat, the
rule still has to give a standard target so ebtables knows
what to do. The default target is ACCEPT
. Making it
CONTINUE
could let you use multiple target extensions on
the same frame. Making it DROP
doesn't make sense, but you
could do that too. RETURN
is also allowed. Note that using
RETURN
in a base chain is not allowed.
--snat-arp
Also change the hardware source address inside the arp
header if the packet is an arp message and the hardware
address length in the arp header is 6 bytes.
