firehol-classify - classify traffic for traffic shaping tools

FireHOL Team. FireHOL Reference Built 13 Apr 2025 firehol-classify(5)

The classify helper command puts matching traffic into the specified traffic shaping class. The class is a class as used by iptables(8) and tc(8) (e.g. MAJOR:MINOR). The rule-params define a set of rule parameters to match the traffic that is to be classified. See firehol-params(5) for more details. Any classify commands will affect all traffic matched. They must be declared before the first router or interface.

# Put all smtp traffic leaving via eth1 in class 1:1 classify 1:1 outface eth1 proto tcp dport 25
