brcmd(1)

NAME
brcmd - manipulate firewall bridging.

SYNOPSIS
brcmd inside-if outside-if up
brcmd down

DESCRIPTION
brcmd Brings up and takes down a firewall bridge between two active network interfaces. If you are bringing the bridge UP, inside-if needs to be up and have an IP address, and outside-if needs to be up, but not have an IP address.

Brcmd is an obsolete program as far as gatekeeper(8) is concerned, but is kept for making quickie kernel filter firewalls.

NOTES
These firewall tools requires the use of the Webshield linux kernel (found at http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Webshield or on recent Mastodon distributions) to function. It has no relationship to the McAfee Webshield product.
