Another reason was the need to create simple iptables rules based on this -information with as little hassle as possible. - -The *iptables* generation requirements for Django Conntrackt were farily simple, -and do not include any complex functionality. It all boils down to rejecting all -communication except for explicitly defined links. - - -Features --------- - -Django Conntrackt sports a number of useful features for system administrators -and integrators: - -* Managing entities through multiple projects (separating the entities - per-project basis). -* Grouping entities inside of a project in one or more locations (which can be - either logical or physical). -* Specifying entities that represent servers, routers, workstations, networks, - subnets or any other networked device or abstraction within a network. -* Specifying multiplel network interfaces for each entity. -* Specifying the communication link between two entities, which includes - information such as protocol and port. -* Generation of *iptables* rules for devices based on GNU/Linux that can be - consumed by the *iptables-restore* utility. -* Generation of *iptables* rules on per-location/project basis (multiple - *iptables* rule files inside of a *ZIP* file. +.. include:: ../README.rst
