Matt,
IPFW2 is not compiled into 4.10 by default. At a shell, type "man ipfw", then a single forward slash (to bring up the search tool), then search for STABLE a couple of times .... directions are in there....
Here it is anyway....
USING IPFW2 IN FreeBSD-STABLE ipfw2 is standard in FreeBSD CURRENT, whereas FreeBSD STABLE still uses ipfw1 unless the kernel is compiled with options IPFW2, and /sbin/ipfw and /usr/lib/libalias are recompiled with -DIPFW2 and reinstalled (the same effect can be achieved by adding IPFW2=TRUE to /etc/make.conf before a buildworld).
Hope that helps,
Matt

Hello freebsd-newbies,
I am still fairly new at the BSD level, migrated from linux. The question that I have is, is Version 4.10 kernel compiled with IPFW2, I know the doc's say that CURRENT version has and that it was implemented in 2002, yet the doc's say that STABLE does not have it compiled into the kernel.
Can some one please clarify

Hi Matt,
(Can't reply on -newbies, it's a list charter thing :).)
4.x versions come from the STABLE branch and, so, do not have ipfw2 compiled in the kernel by default. (Instead, they use the older, and more tested, ipfw.)
If you want ipfw2, refer to 'man 8 ipfw', the section "using ipfw2 on freebsd-stable," for very good instructions.
Regards, Clayton
