NAME

Farly::Rules - Convert a firewall rule configuration into a raw rule set

DESCRIPTION

Farly::Rules converts a firewall rule configuration into a raw rule set. The raw ruleset is an Object::KVC::List<Object::KVC::Hash> containing all firewall rules.

A raw rule set has no references to other firewall objects. The expanded firewall rule is for specific packet to firewall rule matching.

METHODS

new( $list )

$rule_expander = Farly::Rules->new( <Object::KVC::List> );

expand_all()

Returns an Object::KVC::List<Object::KVC::Hash> container of all raw expanded firewall rules in the current Farly firewall model.

$expanded_ruleset = $rule_expander->expand_all();

expand( $rule<Object::KVC::Hash>, $result<Object::KVC::List|Object::KVC::Set>)

Returns the expanded version of the given firewall rule in the provided result container.

$expanded_rule = $rule_expander->expand( $rule );
