Understanding Firewall Tables

Tables are used to hold a group of IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses. Tables are ideal for storing large groups of addresses as the time required to lookup an address is only slightly more than a table containing a small amount of addresses.

The current contents of tables may be viewed from the pfSense® webGUI at Diagnostics > Tables.

The following tables have been automatically pre-defined:

• bogons

• sshlockout

• snort2c

• virusprot

The contents of Aliases will typically show up as tables in this list, depending on their length and contents.
