Target extensions - DNAT

For the DNAT target extension, we can read:
"DNAT is valid only as a part of the POSTROUTNG chain in the nat table".

In fact, DNAT is valid only as a part of the PREROUTNG chain in the nat table.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. It should be PREROUTING.

top of page

the first two entries on the page (vi and xtrace) are not indented to show that they are modes within the -o option. Coming from p.641, the indentation should be like this:

-o [mode]
allexport
[ all of p.642 ]
vi
xtrace
+p
-p
...

Note from the Author or Editor:
The errata submission is correct. vi and xtrace should be indented like the other -o modes:

-o [mode]
allexport
[ all of p.642 ]
vi
xtrace
+p
-p
