Subject: Purpose of self-referential rule
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 10:06:28 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030224160628.GH4316@placemark.com> (raw)
I've been experimenting with gShield trying to learn the ins and outs
of iptables. One of the rules is generates is:
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.6.0/24 -d 192.168.6.0/24 -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
The source and dest are correct for my internal network, and eth1 is
the internal net. My question is, when would the firewall ever see a
packet that could possible match this? Any packet with a source and
destination on the same network would send the packet directly (no
routing, thus no firewall).
What am I missing?
thanks,
Kelly
