ipnat(1M) System Administration Commands ipnat(1M)NAMEipnat - user interface to the NAT subsystem
SYNOPSISipnat [-CdFhlnRrsv] -f filename
DESCRIPTION
The ipnat utility opens a specified file (treating - as stdin) and
parses it for a set of rules that are to be added or removed from the
IP NAT.
If there are no parsing problems, each rule processed by ipnat is added
to the kernel's internal lists. Rules are appended to the internal
lists, matching the order in which they appear when given to ipnat.
ipnat's use is restricted through access to /dev/ipauth, /dev/ipl, and
/dev/ipstate. The default permissions of these files require ipnat to
be run as root for all operations.
ipnat's use is restricted through access to /dev/ipnat. The default
permissions of /dev/ipnat require ipnat to be run as root for all oper‐
ations.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-C Delete all entries in the current NAT rule listing (NAT
rules).
-d Turn debug mode on. Causes a hex dump of filter rules to
be generated as it processes each one.
-F Delete all active entries in the current NAT translation
table (currently active NAT mappings).
-f filename Parse specified file for rules to be added or removed
from the IP NAT. filename can be stdin.
-h Print number of hits for each MAP/Redirect filter.
-l Show the list of current NAT table entry mappings.
-n Prevents ipf from doing anything, such as making ioctl
calls, which might alter the currently running kernel.
-R Disable both IP address-to-hostname resolution and port
number-to-service name resolution.
-r Remove matching NAT rules rather than add them to the
internal lists.
-s Retrieve and display NAT statistics.
-v Turn verbose mode on. Displays information relating to
rule processing and active rules/table entries.
