Change Summary

This attempts to find gaps in the firewall documentation for added features and missing or stale/out-of-date documentation and correct those deficiencies.

  • expand IPv4, IPv6, bridge, group, flowtable, and global option coverage
  • document raw chains, rule tracking, GRE and FIB matching, and operational commands
  • clarify zone membership, validation constraints, defaults, and offloading
  • update firewall examples to current syntax and global state policies

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated firewall configuration examples to current syntax, including VRF, IPv6, IPsec, PPPoE, and zone-based policies.
    • Expanded firewall references with raw chains, flow offload, global options, GeoIP, name resolution, rule-hit tracking, matchers, groups, and detailed operational commands.
    • Documented bridge firewall actions, MAC matching, VLAN limits, and expanded inspection commands.
    • Clarified zone membership, VRF support, intra-zone filtering, default behavior, and configuration prerequisites.
    • Corrected terminology, syntax examples, command names, and typographical errors.

Walkthrough

Firewall documentation and examples were updated for current VyOS syntax. Changes cover firewall chains, matchers, state policies, flowtables, global options, groups, operation-mode commands, and zone configuration.

Changes

Firewall documentation updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration examples
docs/configexamples/*
Corrected firewall example syntax, interface guidance, state policies, IPv6 protocol names, zone configuration, ruleset commands, and tunnel commands.
Firewall surfaces and groups
docs/configuration/firewall/bridge.md, docs/configuration/firewall/groups.md, docs/configuration/firewall/index.md
Added bridge actions and matchers, rule hit tracking, detailed operational views, group types and constraints, and updated firewall hook and chain syntax.
Global and flowtable policies
docs/configuration/firewall/flowtables.md, docs/configuration/firewall/global-options.md
Documented flowtable requirements, offload targets, connection-tracking constraints, global defaults, resolver settings, GeoIP settings, and state-policy options.
IPv4 and IPv6 firewall syntax
docs/configuration/firewall/ipv4.md, docs/configuration/firewall/ipv6.md
Added raw-chain, notrack, offload, and updated custom-chain action documentation for both IP families.
Matchers and operation-mode commands
docs/configuration/firewall/ipv4.md, docs/configuration/firewall/ipv6.md
Added FIB, GRE, MAC-mask, remote-group, TCP flag, and hit-tracking documentation. Added raw-chain, detail, and statistics command examples.
Zone model and examples
docs/configuration/firewall/zone.md, docs/configexamples/zone-policy.md
Updated zone membership syntax and documented VRF membership, intra-zone filtering, rule-set prerequisites, fallback behavior, and local-zone restrictions.

negated destination port list, changing the example from a single leading
negation to separately negated ports so both 22 and 23 are excluded.

Learning: In vyos/vyos-documentation, the 80-character line-length rule documented under Source conventions / Formatting applies only to documentation source files located under docs/ (e.g., docs/**/*.rst and docs/**/*.md). The rule is enforced by the vyoslinter (doc-linter.py from vyos/.github) when reviewing changed files via lint-doc.yml, and only for files within docs/**. Do not suggest hard-wrapping CLAUDE.md (repo-root documentation) because GitHub renders and reflows content. For CLAUDE.md, reviews should not enforce the 80-char wrapping; apply the rule only to files matching **/docs/**/*.{rst,md}.

Do not flag repo-root files like CLAUDE.md or README.md, since they are rendered by GitHub and not subject to this rule. The doc-linter (doc-linter.py via lint-doc.yml) only lints docs/**, so CI checks won't flag root files for line length.

Learning: The 80-character line limit applies only to documentation sources under docs/** (RST/MD). Do not enforce this limit on repo-root Markdown files like CLAUDE.md or README.md. The vyoslinter (doc-linter.py, run via lint-doc.yml from vyos/.github) lints only changed files within docs/**; root files are excluded. GitHub renders root Markdown with viewport-width reflow, so hard-wrapping these files reduces readability without tooling benefit.

Learning: Limit the 80-character line length check and vyoslinter (doc-linter.py) enforcement to documentation source files under docs/**/*.{rst,md}. Do not apply or flag line-length issues in repo-root files like CLAUDE.md or README.md, which are rendered directly by GitHub and are not linted by lint-doc.yml. This pattern narrows checks to Sphinx source docs and prevents false positives in non-doc files.

Learning: For the VyOS documentation (MyST-based docs), MyST directive opener lines must keep the entire directive arguments on a single line. This includes MyST fenced-directive openers like ```{opcmd} ... ``` and the RST-equivalent form .. opcmd:: ... when ported/used in MyST. Because the MyST parser does not support wrapped/continued directive arguments across multiple lines, do not raise/keep review warnings suggesting line wrapping for these directive opener lines due to line-length (even if they exceed 80 characters).

Learning: In vyos/vyos-documentation, do not raise line-length (>80 chars) review findings for MyST directive opener lines (the directive “opener” that uses MyST directive syntax such as `{cfgcmd}` / `{opcmd}` fence/openers). CI does not enforce the 80-character limit for these specific opener lines, and existing documentation contains longer opener lines that pass lint.

Relevant review context

  • Phorge task T2247 is unrelated: it is a resolved “WireGuard: add VRF support” task with an empty description and no comments, so it provides no acceptance criteria for this pull request.,
  • A documentation audit reports only ~31% rolling coverage and identifies 304 undocumented IPv4/IPv6 firewall leaves across all supported branches, plus 373 bridge-firewall leaves on current. This supports the PR’s broad documentation scope; the bridge work is rolling/current-only.
  • The bare state-rule syntax is corroborated by T5920: state established should not receive an enable argument, which directly supports the example changes.
  • An open issue reports hardware flowtable offload failing when the same device is placed in separate IPv4 and IPv6 flowtables. The new flowtable documentation should avoid implying hardware offload is universally functional.
  • A resolved issue documents VRF zone-firewall cases where local/BGP/ICMP traffic hit the zone’s default drop due to interface/VRF handling; this is relevant when reviewing the updated VRF and zone examples.
  • An open security issue says interfaces may become active before firewall configuration during boot, temporarily leaving traffic exposed. The existing warning should remain intact while updating the firewall index documentation.

  • Ansible Core’s only firewall-related coupling is compatibility redirects for vyos_firewall_rules, vyos_firewall_interfaces, and vyos_firewall_global to vyos.vyos modules in lib/ansible/config/ansible_builtin_runtime.yml:7534-7549. [::ansible/ansible::]
  • No Ansible Core consumers, tests, or syntax contracts reference the firewall changes. [::ansible/ansible::]
