.TH XTABLES-TRANSLATE 8 "Mar 16, 2018"
.SH NAME
xtables-translate \- translation tools to migrate from iptables to nftables
.SH DESCRIPTION
There is a set of tools to help the system administrator translate a given
ruleset from \fBiptables(8)\fP and \fBip6tables(8)\fP to \fBnftables(8)\fP.
The available commands are:
.IP \[bu] 2
iptables-translate
.IP \[bu]
iptables-restore-translate
.IP \[bu] 2
ip6tables-translate
.IP \[bu]
ip6tables-restore-translate
.SH USAGE
They take as input the original \fBiptables(8)\fP/\fBip6tables(8)\fP syntax and
output the native \fBnftables(8)\fP syntax.
The \fBiptables-restore-translate\fP tool reads a ruleset in the syntax
produced by \fBiptables-save(8)\fP. Likewise, the
\fBip6tables-restore-translate\fP tool reads one produced by
\fBip6tables-save(8)\fP.
The \fBiptables-translate\fP reads a command line as if it was entered to
\fBiptables(8)\fP, and \fBip6tables-translate\fP reads a command like as if it
was entered to \fBip6tables(8)\fP.
.SH EXAMPLES
Basic operation examples.
Single command translation:
.nf
root@machine:~# iptables-translate -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
nft add rule ip filter INPUT tcp dport 22 ct state new counter accept
root@machine:~# ip6tables-translate -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth3 -p udp -m multiport --dports 111,222 -j ACCEPT
nft add rule ip6 filter FORWARD iifname eth0 oifname eth3 meta l4proto udp udp dport { 111,222} counter accept
.fi
Whole ruleset translation:
.nf
root@machine:~# iptables-save > save.txt
root@machine:~# cat save.txt
# Generated by iptables-save v1.6.0 on Sat Dec 24 14:26:40 2016
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [5166:1752111]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [5058:628693]
-A FORWARD -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT

}
chain OUTPUT {

}
}
.fi
.SH LIMITATIONS
Some (few) extensions may be not supported (or fully-supported) for whatever
reason (for example, they were considered obsolete, or we didn't have the time
to work on them).
There are no translations available for \fBebtables(8)\fP and
\fBarptables(8)\fP.
