Description

Assign any shell variables that you need in this file.

It is suggested that variable names begin with an upper case letter to distinguish them from variables used internally within the Shorewall programs

Example params file:

NET_IF=eth0
NET_BCAST=130.252.100.255
NET_OPTIONS=routefilter,norfc1918

Example shorewall-interfaces(5) file.

ZONE    INTERFACE       BROADCAST       OPTIONS
net     $NET_IF         $NET_BCAST      $NET_OPTIONS

This is the same as if the interfaces file had contained:

ZONE    INTERFACE       BROADCAST       OPTIONS
net     eth0            130.252.100.255 routefilter,norfc1918
