Re: Translate IPFW rules to PF rules

Hi Ross,

Thanks! I already saw some references to the "self" keyword, but I couldn't
find anything about it in the documentation.

Merry X-mas and a Happy 2007!

Bert.

Second) there is the "me" keyword in IPFW which I use a couple of times
(there are 5 interfaces in my firewall with each an ip and aliases on
them)
Is there a method in PF that leads to the same result as the "me"
keyword?

first, get a table into scope and load it up with the necessary values:

table <SELF> persist { self };

then refer to <SELF> in the obvious way. DON'T write bare references
to "self" unless you like seeing all your rules multiplied by the
number of interfaces you have up (I have boxes where the cardinality
of <SELF> is on the high side of 50, so this is A Big Deal to me.)

regards,
Ross
