This command is used to create an IP set with a specific name (${set_name}) using the "ipset" command line utility.
- "ipset" is a tool that allows users to create, manipulate, and manage sets of IP addresses or networks, which can be used for various purposes like firewall rules, traffic filtering, or network address translation.
- "create" is the command used to create a new IP set.
- "${set_name}" is a placeholder that represents the name you want to assign to the IP set. You need to replace it with the desired name when using the command.
- "hash:ip" specifies the type of IP set to be created. In this case, "hash:ip" indicates that the IP addresses will be stored and matched using a hash-based algorithm for efficient lookup.
In summary, this command creates an IP set with a given name and specifies that it will use a hashing algorithm to store and match IP addresses.
