Using two branching rules to pass control to the same rule set.



In this slide show we'll demonstrate how the same policy rule set can be used in two different rules so that complex rule can be reused. The rule created in this example is specific to the iptables firewall, however the concept of using the same rule set as a target in several branching rules applies to all firewall platforms.

First, create new policy rule set, give it name "rate_limit" and make it not "top ruleset" so that generated iptables rules go into the chain "rate_limit".
