NAME
       fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco IOS ACL

SYNOPSIS
       fwb_iosacl [-vV] [-d wdir] [-4] [-6] [-i] -f data_file.xml object_name


DESCRIPTION
       fwb_iosacl is firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder
       (see fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall
       description from the data file specified with "-f" option and generates
       resultant Cisco IOS ACL configuration file. The configuration is
       written to the file with the name the same as the name of the firewall
       object, plus extension ".fw". Compiler generates extended access lists
       for Cisco routers running IOS v12.x using "ip access-list <name>"
       syntax. Compiler also generates "ip access-group" commands to assign
       access lists to interfaces. Generated ACL configuration can be uploaded
       to the router manually or using built-in installer in the fwbuilder(1)
       GUI.

       The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on
       the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.


OPTIONS
       -4     Generate iptables script for IPv4 part of the policy. If any
              rules of the firewall refer to IPv6 addresses, compiler will
              skip these rules.  Options "-4" and "-6" are exclusive. If
              neither option is used, compiler tries to generate both parts of
              the script, although generation of the IPv6 part is controlled
              by the option "Enable IPv6 support" in the "IPv6" tab of the
              firewall object advanced settings dialog.  This option is off by
              default.


       -6     Generate iptables script for IPv6 part of the policy. If any
              rules of the firewall refer to IPv6 addresses, compiler will
              skip these rules.


       -f FILE
              Specify the name of the data file to be processed.


       -d wdir
              Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with ACL
              configuration in this directory.  If this parameter is missing,
              then generated ACL will be placed in the current working
              directory.


       -v     Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.


       -V     Print version number and quit.


       -i     When this option is present, the last argument on the command
              line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name
