Shorewall 1.4 Reference

-
- -

This documentation is intended primarily for reference. - Step-by-step instructions for configuring Shorewall in - common setups may be found in the This documentation is intended primarily for reference. + Step-by-step instructions for configuring Shorewall +in common setups may be found in the QuickStart Guides.

- +

Components

- +

Shorewall consists of the following components:

- + - -

/etc/shorewall/params

- - -

You may use the file /etc/shorewall/params file to set shell variables - that you can then use in some of the other configuration files.

- - -

It is suggested that variable names begin with an upper case letter to distinguish them from variables used internally - within the Shorewall programs

- - -

Example:

- - -
 	NET_IF=eth0
	NET_BCAST=130.252.100.255
	NET_OPTIONS=blacklist,norfc1918
- -

Example (/etc/shorewall/interfaces record):

- -
	net $NET_IF $NET_BCAST $NET_OPTIONS
- -

The result will be the same as if the record had been written

- -
	net eth0 130.252.100.255 blacklist,norfc1918
- -

Variables may be used anywhere in the other configuration - files.

- - -

/etc/shorewall/zones

- - -

This file is used to define the network zones. There is one entry - in /etc/shorewall/zones for each zone; Columns in an entry - are:

For most applications, specifying zones entirely in terms of network - interfaces is sufficient. There may be times though where you need to define -a zone to be a more general collection of hosts. This is the purpose of -the /etc/shorewall/hosts file.

Nested and Overlapping Zones

- - - -

The /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts file allow -you to define nested or overlapping zones. Such overlapping/nested zones - are allowed and Shorewall processes zones in the order that - they appear in the /etc/shorewall/zones file. So if you have nested - zones, you want the sub-zone to appear before the super-zone -and in the case of overlapping zones, the rules that will apply -to hosts that belong to both zones is determined by which zone appears - first in /etc/shorewall/zones.

- - - -

Hosts that belong to more than one zone may be managed by the rules - of all of those zones. This is done through use of the special - CONTINUE policy described below.

- - - -

- /etc/shorewall/policy Configuration.

- + +
-

This file is used to describe the firewall policy regarding establishment - of connections. Connection establishment is described in terms - of clients who initiate connections and servers who - receive those connection requests. Policies defined in /etc/shorewall/policy - describe which zones are allowed to establish connections with - other zones.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + - -

Policies established in /etc/shorewall/policy can be viewed as default - policies. If no rule in /etc/shorewall/rules applies to a -particular connection request then the policy from /etc/shorewall/policy - is applied.

+ + - -

Four policies are defined:

- - -
    -
  • ACCEPT - The connection is allowed.
    • -
  • DROP - The connection request - is ignored.
    • -
  • REJECT - The connection request - is rejected with an RST (TCP) or an ICMP destination-unreachable - packet being returned to the client.
    • -
  • CONTINUE - The connection is - neither ACCEPTed, DROPped nor REJECTed. CONTINUE may be -used when one or both of the zones named in the entry are - sub-zones of or intersect with another zone. For more information, -see below.

For each policy specified in /etc/shorewall/policy, you can indicate - that you want a message sent to your system log each time -that the policy is applied.

The '-' in the ZONE column for eth1 tells Shorewall that eth1 interfaces + to multiple zones.

Connection establishment is described in terms + of clients who initiate connections and servers +who receive those connection requests. Policies defined +in /etc/shorewall/policy describe which zones are allowed +to establish connections with other zones.

+ + + +

Policies established in /etc/shorewall/policy can be viewed as default + policies. If no rule in /etc/shorewall/rules applies to +a particular connection request then the policy from /etc/shorewall/policy + is applied.

+ + + +

Four policies are defined:

+ + + +

For each policy specified in /etc/shorewall/policy, you can indicate + that you want a message sent to your system log each time + that the policy is applied.

+ + +

Entries in /etc/shorewall/policy have four columns as follows:

- +
    -
  1. SOURCE +
  2. SOURCE - The name of a client zone (a zone defined in the /etc/shorewall/zones file , the name of the firewall zone or "all").
    3. -
  3. DEST +
  4. DEST - The name of a destination zone (a zone defined in the /etc/shorewall/zones file , the name of the firewall zone or "all"). Shorewall automatically + href="#Conf">name of the firewall zone or "all"). Shorewall automatically allows all traffic from the firewall to itself so the name of the firewall zone cannot appear in both the + href="#Conf">name of the firewall zone cannot appear in both the SOURCE and DEST columns.

  5. POLICY - - The default policy for connection requests from the SOURCE +
  6. POLICY + - The default policy for connection requests from the SOURCE zone to the DESTINATION zone.

  7. LOG LEVEL - - Optional. If left empty, no log message is generated when - the policy is applied. Otherwise, this column should contain an - integer or name indicating a LOG +LEVEL - Optional. If left empty, no log message is generated +when the policy is applied. Otherwise, this column should contain +an integer or name indicating a syslog level.
    8. -
  8. LIMIT:BURST - - Optional. If left empty, TCP connection requests - from the SOURCE zone to the DEST zone will - not be rate-limited. Otherwise, this column specifies the maximum - rate at which TCP connection requests will be accepted followed - by a colon (":") followed by the maximum burst size that will be -tolerated. Example: 10/sec:40 specifies that the maximum -rate of TCP connection requests allowed will be 10 per second and -a burst of 40 connections will be tolerated. Connection requests -in excess of these limits will be dropped.
    9. +
  9. LIMIT:BURST + - Optional. If left empty, TCP connection requests + from the SOURCE zone to the DEST zone will + not be rate-limited. Otherwise, this column specifies the maximum + rate at which TCP connection requests will be accepted followed + by a colon (":") followed by the maximum burst size that will be +tolerated. Example: 10/sec:40 specifies that the maximum +rate of TCP connection requests allowed will be 10 per second and +a burst of 40 connections will be tolerated.

- /etc/shorewall/proxyarp

- - - - -

If you want to - use proxy ARP on an - entire sub-network, - I suggest that you - look at - - http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/. - -If you decide to use - the technique - described in that - HOWTO, you can set - the proxy_arp flag - for an interface - (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/proxy_arp) - by -including the - proxyarp option - in the interface's - record in - - /etc/shorewall/interfaces. - When using Proxy - ARP sub-netting, - you do NOT - include any - entries in - /etc/shorewall/proxyarp.

- - - - -

The /etc/shorewall/proxyarp file is used to define Proxy ARP. The file is - typically used for - enabling Proxy ARP - on a small set of - systems since you - need one entry - in - this file for each - system using proxy - ARP. Columns are:

- - - -

Note: After you have made a change to the /etc/shorewall/proxyarp - file, you may need to flush the ARP cache of all routers on - the LAN segment connected to the interface specified in the EXTERNAL - column of the change/added entry(s). If you are having problems communicating - between an individual host (A) on that segment and a system -whose entry has changed, you may need to flush the ARP cache -on host A as well.

- - - -

ISPs typically have ARP configured with long TTL - (hours!) so if your ISPs router has a stale cache entry (as seen using "tcpdump - -nei <external interface> host <IP addr>"), it may take a long -while to time out. I personally have had to contact my ISP and ask them -to delete a stale entry in order to restore a system to working order after -changing my proxy ARP settings.

- - - - -

Example: - You have public IP addresses 155.182.235.0/28. You configure your - firewall as follows:

- - - - - -

In your DMZ, you want to install a Web/FTP server with public address - 155.186.235.4. On the Web server, you subnet just like the -firewall's eth0 and you configure 155.186.235.1 as the default -gateway. In your /etc/shorewall/proxyarp file, you will have:

- - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + + + + + + + + + + - + - +
ADDRESS INTERFACE EXTERNALHAVEROUTE

INTERFACE SUBNETADDRESS

Note: You may want to configure the servers in your DMZ with a subnet - that is smaller than the subnet of your internet interface. -See the Proxy ARP Subnet Mini HOWTO (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/) - for details. In this case you will want to place "Yes" in the - HAVEROUTE column.

ISPs typically have ARP configured with long +TTL (hours!) so if your ISPs router has a stale cache entry (as seen using +"tcpdump -nei <external interface> host <IP addr>"), it may +take a long while to time out.

GRE and IPIP tunneling with Shorewall requires iproute2 and can be used to bridge two masqueraded networks. GRE -tunnels were introduced in shorewall version 1.2.0_Beta2.

The simple scripts described in the Linux Advanced Routing -and Shaping HOWTO work fine with Shorewall. Shorewall also includes a tunnel -script for automating tunnel configuration. If you have installed the RPM, the -tunnel script may be found in the Shorewall documentation directory (usually -/usr/share/doc/shorewall-<version>/).

+
+IMPORTANT: Shorewall 1.4.0 REQUIRES the iproute package +('ip' utility).
+
+ Function from 1.3 that has been omitted from this version include:
+
    -
  1. The MERGE_HOSTS variable in shorewall.conf is no longer supported. -Shorewall 1.4 behavior is the same as 1.3 with MERGE_HOSTS=Yes.
    -
    -
    2. -
  2. Interface names of the form <device>:<integer> in /etc/shorewall/interfaces - now generate an error.
    -
    -
    3. -
  3. Shorewall 1.4 implements behavior consistent with OLD_PING_HANDLING=No. - OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes will generate an error at startup as will specification - of the 'noping' or 'filterping' interface options.
    -
    -
    4. -
  4. The 'routestopped' option in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts - files is no longer supported and will generate an error at startup if specified.
    -
    -
    5. -
  5. The Shorewall 1.2 syntax for DNAT and REDIRECT rules is no longer -accepted.
    -
    -
    6. -

    -
    5. -
  5. In addition to behaving like OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, Shorewall 1.4 -no longer unconditionally accepts outbound ICMP packets. So if you want -to 'ping' from the firewall, you will need the appropriate rule or policy. -

Webmin version 1.060 now has Shorewall support included as standard. See - http://www.webmin.com.
-
- 2/4/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.14-RC1

- -

Includes the Beta 2 content plus support for OpenVPN tunnels.

- -

1/28/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.14-Beta2

- -

Includes the Beta 1 content plus restores VLAN device names of the form - $dev.$vid (e.g., eth0.1)

- -

1/25/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.14-Beta1
-

- -

The Beta includes the following changes:
-

- -
    -
  1. An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf. - When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been (see - http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).
    -
    - When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping) is handled via rules - and policies just like any other connection request. The FORWARDPING=Yes - option in shorewall.conf and the 'noping' and 'filterping' options in - /etc/shorewall/interfaces will all generate an error.

    2. -
  2. It is now possible to direct Shorewall to create a "label" - such as  "eth0:0" for IP addresses that it creates under ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes - and ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes. This is done by specifying the label instead - of just the interface name:

    -    a) In the INTERFACE column of /etc/shorewall/masq
    -    b) In the INTERFACE column of /etc/shorewall/nat

  3. When an interface name is entered in the SUBNET column of - the /etc/shorewall/masq file, Shorewall previously masqueraded traffic - from only the first subnet defined on that interface. It did not masquerade - traffic from:
    -

    -    b) Subnets accessed through local routers.
    -

    - When upgrading to Shorewall 1.3.14, if you have multiple local -subnets connected to an interface that is specified in the SUBNET column -of an /etc/shorewall/masq entry, your /etc/shorewall/masq file will need -changing. In most cases, you will simply be able to remove redundant entries. -In some cases though, you might want to change from using the interface -name to listing specific subnetworks if the change described above will cause -masquerading to occur on subnetworks that you don't wish to masquerade.

+ 2/5/2003 - Shorewall Support included in Webmin 1.060

+ +

Webmin version 1.060 now has Shorewall support included as standard. See + http://www.webmin.com.
+
+ 2/4/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.14-RC1

+ +

Includes the Beta 2 content plus support for OpenVPN tunnels.

+ +

1/28/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.14-Beta2

+

Includes the Beta 1 content plus restores VLAN device names of the form + $dev.$vid (e.g., eth0.1)

+ +

1/25/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.14-Beta1
+

+ +

The Beta includes the following changes:
+

+ +
    +
  1. An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf. + When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been (see + http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).
    +
    + When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping) is handled via rules + and policies just like any other connection request. The FORWARDPING=Yes + option in shorewall.conf and the 'noping' and 'filterping' options +in /etc/shorewall/interfaces will all generate an error.
    +
    +
    2. +
  2. It is now possible to direct Shorewall to create a "label" + such as  "eth0:0" for IP addresses that it creates under ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes + and ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes. This is done by specifying the label instead + of just the interface name:
    +  
    +    a) In the INTERFACE column of /etc/shorewall/masq
    +    b) In the INTERFACE column of /etc/shorewall/nat
    +  
    3. +
  3. When an interface name is entered in the SUBNET column +of the /etc/shorewall/masq file, Shorewall previously masqueraded traffic + from only the first subnet defined on that interface. It did not masquerade + traffic from:
    +  
    +    a) The subnets associated with other addresses on the interface.
    +    b) Subnets accessed through local routers.
    +  
    + Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, if you enter an interface name + in the SUBNET column, shorewall will use the firewall's routing table + to construct the masquerading/SNAT rules.
    +  
    + Example 1 -- This is how it works in 1.3.14.
    +

+

1/13/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.13
-

- +

+

Just includes a few things that I had on the burner:
-

- +

+
    -
  1. A new 'DNAT-' action has been added for entries in the - /etc/shorewall/rules file. DNAT- is intended for advanced users who - wish to minimize the number of rules that connection requests must traverse.
    -
    - A Shorewall DNAT rule actually generates two iptables rules: - a header rewriting rule in the 'nat' table and an ACCEPT rule in the - 'filter' table. A DNAT- rule only generates the first of these rules. - This is handy when you have several DNAT rules that would generate the - same ACCEPT rule.
    -
    -    Here are three rules from my previous rules file:
    -
    -         DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.178
    -         DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.179
    -         ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...
    -
    -    These three rules ended up generating _three_ copies of
    -
    -          ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp
    -
    -    By writing the rules this way, I end up with only one copy - of the ACCEPT rule.
    -
    -         DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.178
    -         DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.179
    -         ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,....

  4. The 'shorewall check' command now prints out the applicable policy between each pair of zones.

  5. A new CLEAR_TC option has been added to shorewall.conf. - If this option is set to 'No' then Shorewall won't clear the current - traffic control rules during [re]start. This setting is intended for -use by people that prefer to configure traffic shaping when the network -interfaces come up rather than when the firewall is started. If that is -what you want to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes and CLEAR_TC=No and do not supply -an /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. That way, your traffic shaping rules -can still use the 'fwmark' classifier based on packet marking defined -in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.
    -
    -
    6. -
  6. A new SHARED_DIR variable has been added that allows -distribution packagers to easily move the shared directory (default -/usr/lib/shorewall). Users should never have a need to change the value -of this shorewall.conf setting.

12/27/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Released

- +

Features include:
-

- -
    -
  1. "shorewall refresh" now reloads the traffic shaping - rules (tcrules and tcstart).
    2. -
  2. "shorewall debug [re]start" now turns off debugging - after an error occurs. This places the point of the failure near -the end of the trace rather than up in the middle of it.
    3. -
  3. "shorewall [re]start" has been speeded up by more -than 40% with my configuration. Your milage may vary.
    4. -
  4. A "shorewall show classifiers" command has been added - which shows the current packet classification filters. The output - from this command is also added as a separate page in "shorewall - monitor"
    5. -
  5. ULOG (must be all caps) is now accepted as a valid - syslog level and causes the subject packets to be logged using -the ULOG target rather than the LOG target. This allows you to run -ulogd (available from http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd) - and log all Shorewall messages to a separate log file.
    6. -
  6. If you are running a kernel that has a FORWARD chain - in the mangle table ("shorewall show mangle" will show you the -chains in the mangle table), you can set MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes -in shorewall.conf. This allows for - marking input packets based on their destination even when you are -using Masquerading or SNAT.
    7. -
  7. I have cluttered up the /etc/shorewall directory -with empty 'init', 'start', 'stop' and 'stopped' files. If you -already have a file with one of these names, don't worry -- the upgrade -process won't overwrite your file.
    8. -
  8. I have added a new RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL variable to - shorewall.conf. This variable specifies - the syslog level at which packets are logged as a result of entries - in the /etc/shorewall/rfc1918 file. Previously, these packets were -always logged at the 'info' level.

If you are running a kernel that has a FORWARD + chain in the mangle table ("shorewall show mangle" will show you + the chains in the mangle table), you can set MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes + in shorewall.conf. This allows for marking input packets based on + their destination even when you are using Masquerading or SNAT.
    7. +
  7. I have cluttered up the /etc/shorewall directory + with empty 'init', 'start', 'stop' and 'stopped' files. If you +already have a file with one of these names, don't worry -- the upgrade +process won't overwrite your file.

12/3/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.11a

This is a bug-fix roll up which includes Roger Aich's fix for DNAT with - excluded subnets (e.g., "DNAT foo!bar ..."). Current 1.3.11 -users who don't need rules of this type need not upgrade to 1.3.11.

In this version:

- -
    -
  • A 'tcpflags' option has been added to -entries in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. - This option causes Shorewall to make a set of sanity check on TCP packet - header flags.
    • -
  • It is now allowed to use 'all' in the -SOURCE or DEST column in a rule. When used, 'all' must appear - by itself (in may not be qualified) and it does not enable intra-zone - traffic. For example, the rule
    -
    -     ACCEPT loc all tcp 80
    -
    - does not enable http traffic from 'loc' to -'loc'.
    • -
  • Shorewall's use of the 'echo' command -is now compatible with bash clones such as ash and dash.
    • -
  • fw->fw policies now generate a startup - error. fw->fw rules generate a warning and are ignored

    These tools/weapons are particularly damaging when combined with CVS Web - because they doggedly follow every link in the cgi-generated - HTML resulting in 1000s of executions of the cvsweb.cgi - script. Yesterday, I spend several hours implementing - measures to block these tools but unfortunately, these measures - resulted in my server OOM-ing under even moderate load.

    Until I have the time to understand the cause of the OOM (or until I buy - more RAM if that is what is required), CVS Web access - will remain Password Protected.

This is implemented using the 'lockfile' utility - if it is available (lockfile is part of procmail); otherwise, - a less robust technique is used. The lockfile is created - in the STATEDIR defined in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf - and has the name "lock".

    See http://security.dsi.unimi.it/~lorenzo/debian.html

    + + +

    2/25/2002 - New Two-interface Sample

    + + +

    I've enhanced the two interface sample to allow access from the firewall + to servers in the local zone - + http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/LATEST.samples/two-interfaces.tgz

    + + +

    2/23/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.8 Released

    + + +

    Do to a serious problem with 1.2.7, I am releasing 1.2.8. It corrects + problems associated with the lock file used to prevent multiple state-changing + operations from occuring simultaneously. My apologies + for any inconvenience my carelessness may have caused.

    + + +

    2/22/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.7 Released

    + + +

    In this version:

    + + +
      +
    • UPnP probes (UDP +destination port 1900) are now silently dropped in +the common chain
      • +
    • RFC 1918 checking +in the mangle table has been streamlined to no longer + require packet marking. RFC 1918 checking in the filter + table has been changed to require half as many rules as previously.
      • +
    • A 'shorewall check' + command has been added that does a cursory validation + of the zones, interfaces, hosts, rules and policy files.
      • + + +
    + + +

    2/18/2002 - 1.2.6 Debian Package is Available

    + + +

    See http://security.dsi.unimi.it/~lorenzo/debian.html

    + + +

    2/8/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.6 Released

    + + +

    In this version:

    + + +
      +
    • $-variables may now + be used anywhere in the configuration files except + /etc/shorewall/zones.
      • +
    • The interfaces and + hosts files now have their contents validated before + any changes are made to the existing Netfilter configuration. + The appearance of a zone name that isn't defined in /etc/shorewall/zones + causes "shorewall start" and "shorewall restart" to abort + without changing the Shorewall state. Unknown options in +either file cause a warning to be issued.
      • +
    • A problem occurring + when BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL was not set has been corrected.
      • + + +
    + + +

    2/4/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.5 Debian Package Available

    + + +

    see http://security.dsi.unimi.it/~lorenzo/debian.html

    + + +

    2/1/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.5 Released

    + + +

    Due to installation problems with Shorewall 1.2.4, I have released Shorewall + 1.2.5. Sorry for the rapid-fire development.

    + + +

    In version 1.2.5:

    + + +
      +
    • The installation problems + have been corrected.
      • +
    • SNAT is now supported.
      • +
    • A "shorewall version" + command has been added
      • +
    • The default value +of the STATEDIR variable in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf + has been changed to /var/lib/shorewall in order +to conform to the GNU/Linux File Hierarchy Standard, Version + 2.2.
      • + + +
    + + +

    1/28/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.4 Released

      • +
    • You may now place +end-of-line comments (preceded by '#') in any of the + configuration files
      • +
    • There is now protection + against against two state changing operations + occuring concurrently. This is implemented using the 'lockfile' + utility if it is available (lockfile is part of procmail); + otherwise, a less robust technique is used. The lockfile + is created in the STATEDIR defined in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf + and has the name "lock".
      • +
    • "shorewall start" +no longer fails if "detect" is specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces + for an interface with subnet mask 255.255.255.255.
      • + + +
    + + +

    + + +

    This is a minor feature and bugfix release. The single new feature is:

    + + +
      +

There may also be a web server running on +192.168.1.3. It is assumed that web access is already enabled from the local +zone to the internet.

    +

    + +
      +
    • On your firewall system, issue the following command
      +
      • + +
    + +
    + 
    echo 202 www.out >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables

There may also be a web server running on -192.168.1.3. It is assumed that web access is already enabled from the local -zone to the internet.

    WARNING: This setup may conflict with - other aspects of your gateway including but not limited to traffic shaping - and route redirection. For that reason, I don't recommend it.

    You will still hear the terms "Class A network", "Class B + network" and "Class C network". In the early days of IP, networks only + came in three sizes (there were also Class D networks but they were used differently):

    - -
    + +

    Class A - netmask 255.0.0.0, size = 2 ** 24

    - +

    Class B - netmask 255.255.0.0, size = 2 ** 16

    - +

    Class C - netmask 255.255.255.0, size = 256

    -
    - -

    The class of a network was uniquely determined by the value - of the high order byte of its address so you could look at an IP address - and immediately determine the associated netmask. The netmask -is a number that when logically ANDed with an address isolates the network - number; the remainder of the address is the host number. For - example, in the Class C address 192.0.2.14, the network number is hex -C00002 and the host number is hex 0E.

    - -

    As the internet grew, it became clear that such a gross partitioning -of the 32-bit address space was going to be very limiting (early on, large -corporations and universities were assigned their own class A network!). -After some false starts, the current technique of subnetting these -networks into smaller subnetworks evolved; that technique is referred -to as Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR).

    4.3 Routing

    One of the purposes of subnetting is that it forms the basis - for routing. Here's the routing table on my firewall:

    The device texas is a GRE tunnel to a peer site in - the Dallas, Texas area.
    -
    - The first three routes are host routes since they indicate -how to get to a single host. In the 'netstat' output this can be seen -by the "Genmask" (Subnet Mask) of 255.255.255.255 and the "H" in the -Flags column. The remainder are 'net' routes since they tell the kernel -how to route packets to a subnetwork. The last route is the default - route and the gateway mentioned in that route is called the default - gateway.

    - -

    When the kernel is trying to send a packet to IP address -A, it starts at the top of the routing table and:

    - -
      -
    • -

      A is logically ANDed with the 'Genmask' value -in the table entry.

      -
      • -
    • -

      The result is compared with the 'Destination' value in - the table entry.

      -
      • -
    • -

      If the result and the 'Destination' value are the same, - then:

      - -
        -
      • -

        If the 'Gateway' column is non-zero, the packet is - sent to the gateway over the interface named in the 'Iface' column.

        -
        • -
      • -

        Otherwise, the packet is sent directly to A over - the interface named in the 'iface' column.

        -
        • - -
      -
      • -
    • -

      Otherwise, the above steps are repeated on the next entry - in the table.

      -
      • - -
    - -

    Since the default route matches any IP address (A -land 0.0.0.0 = 0.0.0.0), packets that don't match any of the other routing -table entries are sent to the default gateway which is usually a -router at your ISP.

    - -

    Lets take an example. Suppose that we want to route a packet - to 192.168.1.5. That address clearly doesn't match any of the host routes - in the table but if we logically and that address with 255.255.255.0, -the result is 192.168.1.0 which matches this routing table entry:

    - -
    -
    - 
    192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0 	255.255.255.0 	U     40  0         0 eth2
    -
    +
    + +

    So any address a.b.c.d may also be written a.b.c.d/32 + and the set of all possible IP addresses is written 0.0.0.0/0.

    + +

    Later in this guide, you will see the notation a.b.c.d/v + used to describe the ip configuration of a network interface (the 'ip' + utility also uses this syntax). This simply means that the interface is + configured with ip address a.b.c.d and with the netmask that corresponds + to VLSM /v.

    + +

    Example: 192.0.2.65/29

    + +

        The interface is configured with IP address 192.0.2.65 + and netmask 255.255.255.248.

    So to route a packet to 192.168.1.5, the packet is sent directly over -eth2.

    - - -

    One more thing needs to be emphasized -- all outgoing packet - are sent using the routing table and reply packets are not a special -case. There seems to be a common mis-conception whereby people think -that request packets are like salmon and contain a genetic code that -is magically transferred to reply packets so that the replies follow -the reverse route taken by the request. That isn't the case; the replies -may take a totally different route back to the client than was taken by -the requests -- they are totally independent.

    4.4 Address Resolution Protocol

    - -

    When sending packets over Ethernet, IP addresses aren't used. - Rather Ethernet addressing is based on Media Access Control (MAC) - addresses. Each Ethernet device has it's own unique  MAC address which - is burned into a PROM on the device during manufacture. You can obtain -the MAC of an Ethernet device using the 'ip' utility:

    - -
    -
    - 
    [root@gateway root]# ip addr show eth0
    2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc htb qlen 100
    link/ether 02:00:08:e3:fa:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 206.124.146.176/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global eth0
    inet 206.124.146.178/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global secondary eth0
    inet 206.124.146.179/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global secondary eth0
    [root@gateway root]#
    -
    -
    - -
    -

    As you can see from the above output, the MAC is 6 bytes -(48 bits) wide. A card's MAC is usually also printed on a label attached -to the card itself.

    -

    Because IP uses IP addresses and Ethernet uses MAC addresses, - a mechanism is required to translate an IP address into a MAC address; - that is the purpose of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). - Here is ARP in action:

    In this exchange, 192.168.1.254 (MAC 2:0:8:e3:4c:48) wants - to know the MAC of the device with IP address 192.168.1.19. The system - having that IP address is responding that the MAC address of the device - with IP address 192.168.1.19 is 0:6:25:aa:8a:f0.

    - -

    In order to avoid having to exchange ARP information each - time that an IP packet is to be sent, systems maintain an ARP cache - of IP<->MAC correspondences. You can see the ARP cache on your -system (including your Windows system) using the 'arp' command:

Had I not given -that option, the question marks would have been replaced with the FQDN -corresponding to each IP address. Notice that the last entry in the table -records the information we saw using tcpdump above.

    - -

    4.5 RFC 1918

    - -

    IP addresses are allocated by the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) - who delegates allocations on a geographic basis to Regional Internet - Registries (RIRs). For example, allocation for the Americas and for - sub-Sahara Africa is delegated to the American - Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). These RIRs may in turn -delegate to national registries. Most of us don't deal with these registrars -but rather get our IP addresses from our ISP.

    - -

    It's a fact of life that most of us can't afford as many -Public IP addresses as we have devices to assign them to so we end up making -use of Private IP addresses. RFC 1918 reserves several IP address -ranges for this purpose:

    - -
    -
         10.0.0.0    - 10.255.255.255
         172.16.0.0  - 172.31.255.255
         192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
    -
    - -
    -

    The addresses reserved by RFC 1918 are sometimes referred - to as non-routable because the Internet backbone routers don't - forward packets which have an RFC-1918 destination address. This is -understandable given that anyone can select any of these addresses -for their private use.

    -
    - -
    -

    When selecting addresses from these ranges, there's a couple - of things to keep in mind:

    -
    - -
      -
    • -

      As the IPv4 address space becomes depleted, more and -more organizations (including ISPs) are beginning to use RFC 1918 addresses - in their infrastructure.

      -
      • -
    • -

      You don't want to use addresses that are being used by - your ISP or by another organization with whom you want to establish - a VPN relationship.

      -
      • - +
    • +

      A is logically ANDed with the 'Genmask' value in +the table entry.

      +
      • +
    • +

      The result is compared with the 'Destination' value in + the table entry.

      +
      • +
    • +

      If the result and the 'Destination' value are the same, + then:

      + +
        +
      • + +

        If the 'Gateway' column is non-zero, the packet is + sent to the gateway over the interface named in the 'Iface' column.

        +
        • +
      • + +

        Otherwise, the packet is sent directly to A over + the interface named in the 'iface' column.

        +
        • + +
      +
      • +
    • +

      Otherwise, the above steps are repeated on the next entry + in the table.

      +
      • +
    + +

    Since the default route matches any IP address (A land + 0.0.0.0 = 0.0.0.0), packets that don't match any of the other routing table + entries are sent to the default gateway which is usually a router +at your ISP.

    + +

    Lets take an example. Suppose that we want to route a packet + to 192.168.1.5. That address clearly doesn't match any of the host routes + in the table but if we logically and that address with 255.255.255.0, +the result is 192.168.1.0 which matches this routing table entry:

    + +
    +
    + 
    192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0 	255.255.255.0 	U     40  0         0 eth2
    +
    + +

    So to route a packet to 192.168.1.5, the packet is sent directly over eth2.

    + +

    One more thing needs to be emphasized -- all outgoing packet + are sent using the routing table and reply packets are not a special case. + There seems to be a common mis-conception whereby people think that request + packets are like salmon and contain a genetic code that is magically +transferred to reply packets so that the replies follow the reverse route +taken by the request. That isn't the case; the replies may take a totally +different route back to the client than was taken by the requests -- they +are totally independent.

    + +

    4.4 Address Resolution Protocol

    + +

    When sending packets over Ethernet, IP addresses aren't used. + Rather Ethernet addressing is based on Media Access Control (MAC) + addresses. Each Ethernet device has it's own unique  MAC address which + is burned into a PROM on the device during manufacture. You can obtain +the MAC of an Ethernet device using the 'ip' utility:

    + +
    +
    + 
    [root@gateway root]# ip addr show eth0
    2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc htb qlen 100
    link/ether 02:00:08:e3:fa:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 206.124.146.176/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global eth0
    inet 206.124.146.178/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global secondary eth0
    inet 206.124.146.179/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global secondary eth0
    [root@gateway root]#
    +
    +
    + +
    +

    As you can see from the above output, the MAC is 6 bytes (48 + bits) wide. A card's MAC is usually also printed on a label attached to +the card itself.

    +
    + +
    +

    Because IP uses IP addresses and Ethernet uses MAC addresses, + a mechanism is required to translate an IP address into a MAC address; + that is the purpose of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). + Here is ARP in action:

    +
    + +
    +
    +
    + 
    [root@gateway root]# tcpdump -nei eth2 arp

     5.2.1 SNAT

    +
    + +
    +

    With SNAT, an internal LAN segment is configured using RFC + 1918 addresses. When a host A on this internal segment initiates + a connection to host B on the internet, the firewall/router rewrites + the IP header in the request to use one of your public IP addresses +as the source address. When B responds and the response is received + by the firewall, the firewall changes the destination address back +to the RFC 1918 address of A and forwards the response back to +A.

    With SNAT, an internal LAN segment is configured using RFC - 1918 addresses. When a host A on this internal segment initiates - a connection to host B on the internet, the firewall/router -rewrites the IP header in the request to use one of your public IP -addresses as the source address. When B responds and the response -is received by the firewall, the firewall changes the destination address -back to the RFC 1918 address of A and forwards the response back -to A.

    -

    Let's suppose that you decide to use SNAT on your local zone - and use public address 192.0.2.176 as both your firewall's external -IP address and the source IP address of internet requests sent from -that zone.

    -
      -
    • -

      A host H behind your firewall is assigned one -of your public IP addresses (A) and is assigned the same netmask - (M) as the firewall's external interface.

      -
      • -
    • -

      The firewall responds to ARP "who has" requests for A. -

      -
      • -
    • -

      When H issues an ARP "who has" request for an -address in the subnetwork defined by A and M, the firewall -will respond (with the MAC if the firewall interface to H).

      -

    External Interface

    The firewall has a single network interface.

    Network Interfaces

    - -

    -

    - -

    The firewall has three network interfaces. Where Internet - connectivity is through a cable or DSL "Modem", the External Interface - will be the ethernet adapter that is connected to that "Modem" (e.g., - eth0)  unless you connect via Point-to-Point - Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) or Point-to-Point - Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) in which case the External - Interface will be a ppp interface (e.g., ppp0). If you connect via - a regular modem, your External Interface will also be ppp0. If -you connect using ISDN, you external interface will be ippp0.

    - -

    -     If your external interface is ppp0 or ippp0 then - you will want to set CLAMPMSS=yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.

    - -

    Your Local Interface will be an ethernet adapter (eth0, - eth1 or eth2) and will be connected to a hub or switch. Your local -computers will be connected to the same switch (note: If you have only -a single local system, you can connect the firewall directly to the computer -using a cross-over cable).

    - -

    Your DMZ Interface will also be an ethernet adapter - (eth0, eth1 or eth2) and will be connected to a hub or switch. Your - DMZ computers will be connected to the same switch (note: If you have - only a single DMZ system, you can connect the firewall directly to the - computer using a cross-over cable).

    - -

    - Do not connect more than one interface to the same -hub or switch (even for testing). It won't work the way that you expect - it to and you will end up confused and believing that Shorewall doesn't - work at all.

    - -

    -     The Shorewall three-interface sample configuration assumes - that the external interface is eth0, the local interface is eth1 - and the DMZ interface is eth2. If your configuration is -different, you will have to modify the sample /etc/shorewall/interfaces - file accordingly. While you are there, you may wish to review the list - of options that are specified for the interfaces. Some hints:

    - -
      -
    • - -

      If your external interface is ppp0 or ippp0, - you can replace the "detect" in the second column with "-".

      -
      • -
    • - -

      If your external interface is ppp0 or ippp0 - or if you have a static IP address, you can remove "dhcp" from the - option list.

      -
      • - -
    - -

    IP Addresses

    - -

    Before going further, we should say a few words about Internet - Protocol (IP) addresses. Normally, your ISP will assign you -a single Public IP address. This address may be assigned via the - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or as part of establishing - your connection when you dial in (standard modem) or establish your PPP - connection. In rare cases, your ISP may assign you a static IP -address; that means that you configure your firewall's external interface - to use that address permanently. Regardless of how the address is - assigned, it will be shared by all of your systems when you access the -Internet. You will have to assign your own addresses for your internal network -(the local and DMZ Interfaces on your firewall plus your other computers). -RFC 1918 reserves several Private IP address ranges for this purpose:

    - -
    -
         10.0.0.0    - 10.255.255.255
         172.16.0.0  - 172.31.255.255
         192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
    -
    - -
    -

    -     Before starting Shorewall, you should look at the IP -address of your external interface and if it is one of the above -ranges, you should remove the 'norfc1918' option from the external -interface's entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.

    -
    - -
    -

    You will want to assign your local addresses from one - sub-network or subnet and your DMZ addresses from another - subnet. For our purposes, we can consider a subnet to consists of -a range of addresses x.y.z.0 - x.y.z.255. Such a subnet will have a -Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. The address x.y.z.0 is reserved -as the Subnet Address and x.y.z.255 is reserved as the Subnet -Broadcast Address. In Shorewall, a subnet is described using Classless InterDomain Routing - (CIDR) notation with consists of the subnet address followed - by "/24". The "24" refers to the number of consecutive "1" bits from - the left of the subnet mask.

    -
    - -
    -

    Example sub-network:

    -
    - -
    -
    - - - - - - + - - - - - - - - - - - + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + - - -
    Range:10.10.10.0 - 10.10.10.255
    Subnet Address:10.10.10.0
    Broadcast Address:10.10.10.255
    CIDR Notation:10.10.10.0/24
    Source ZoneDestination ZonePolicyLog LevelLimit:Burst
    locnetACCEPT  
    netallDROPinfo 
    allallREJECTinfo 
    -
    -
    - -
    -

    It is conventional to assign the internal interface either - the first usable address in the subnet (10.10.10.1 in the above example) - or the last usable address (10.10.10.254).

    -
    - -
    -

    One of the purposes of subnetting is to allow all computers - in the subnet to understand which other computers can be communicated - with directly. To communicate with systems outside of the subnetwork, - systems send packets through a  gateway  (router).

    -
    - -
    -

    -     Your local computers (Local Computers 1 & 2) should - be configured with their default gateway set to the IP address - of the firewall's internal interface and your DMZ computers ( DMZ -Computers 1 & 2) should be configured with their default gateway -set to the IP address of the firewall's DMZ interface.  

    -
    - -

    The foregoing short discussion barely scratches the surface - regarding subnetting and routing. If you are interested in learning - more about IP addressing and routing, I highly recommend "IP Fundamentals: - What Everyone Needs to Know about Addressing & Routing", Thomas - A. Maufer, Prentice-Hall, 1999, ISBN 0-13-975483-0.

    - -

    The remainder of this quide will assume that you have configured - your network as shown here:

    - -

    -

    - -

    The default gateway for the DMZ computers would be 10.10.11.254 - and the default gateway for the Local computers would be 10.10.10.254.
    -

    - -

    -     WARNING: Your ISP  might assign -your external interface an RFC 1918 address. If that address is in the 10.10.10.0/24 -subnet then you will need to select a DIFFERENT RFC 1918 subnet for your -local network and if it is in the 10.10.11.0/24 subnet then you will need -to select a different RFC 1918 subnet for your DMZ.
    -

    - -

    IP Masquerading (SNAT)

    - -

    The addresses reserved by RFC 1918 are sometimes referred - to as non-routable because the Internet backbone routers don't - forward packets which have an RFC-1918 destination address. When one - of your local systems (let's assume local computer 1) sends a connection - request to an internet host, the firewall must perform Network Address - Translation (NAT). The firewall rewrites the source address in the - packet to be the address of the firewall's external interface; in other - words, the firewall makes it look as if the firewall itself is initiating - the connection.  This is necessary so that the destination host will be - able to route return packets back to the firewall (remember that packets - whose destination address is reserved by RFC 1918 can't be routed accross - the internet). When the firewall receives a return packet, it rewrites - the destination address back to 10.10.10.1 and forwards the packet on - to local computer 1.

    - -

    On Linux systems, the above process is often referred to as - IP Masquerading and you will also see the term Source Network Address - Translation (SNAT) used. Shorewall follows the convention used with - Netfilter:

    - -
      -
    • - -

      Masquerade describes the case where you let your - firewall system automatically detect the external interface address. -

      -
      • -
    • -

      SNAT refers to the case when you explicitly specify - the source address that you want outbound packets from your local - network to use.

      -
      • - -
    - -

    In Shorewall, both Masquerading and SNAT are configured with - entries in the /etc/shorewall/masq file.

    - -

    -     If your external firewall interface is eth0, your -local interface eth1 and your DMZ interface is eth2 then -you do not need to modify the file provided with the sample. Otherwise, -edit /etc/shorewall/masq and change it to match your configuration.

    - -

    -     If your external IP is static, you can enter it in the -third column in the /etc/shorewall/masq entry if you like although -your firewall will work fine if you leave that column empty. Entering -your static IP in column 3 makes
    - processing outgoing packets a little more efficient.
    -

    - -

    -     If you are using the Debian package, please check your shorewall.conf - file to ensure that the following are set correctly; if they are not, change - them appropriately:
    -

    - -
      -
    • NAT_ENABLED=Yes
      • -
    • IP_FORWARDING=On
      -
      • - -
    - -

    Port Forwarding (DNAT)

    - -

    One of your goals will be to run one or more servers on your - DMZ computers. Because these computers have RFC-1918 addresses, it is - not possible for clients on the internet to connect directly to them. - It is rather necessary for those clients to address their connection -requests to your firewall who rewrites the destination address to the -address of your server and forwards the packet to that server. When your -server responds, the firewall automatically performs SNAT to rewrite -the source address in the response.

    - -

    The above process is called Port Forwarding or - Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT). You configure -port forwarding using DNAT rules in the /etc/shorewall/rules file.

    - -

    The general form of a simple port forwarding rule in /etc/shorewall/rules - is:

    - -
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:<server local ip address> [:<server - port>]<protocol><port>  
    -
    - -

    If you don't specify the <server port>, it is assumed to be -the same as <port>.

    - -

    Example - you run a Web Server on DMZ 2 and you want to forward incoming - TCP port 80 to that system:

    - -
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:10.10.11.2tcp80# Forward port 80from the internet
    ACCEPTlocdmz:10.10.11.2tcp80#Allow connections from the local network
    -
    - -

    A couple of important points to keep in mind:

    - -
      -
    • When you are connecting to your server from your local - systems, you must use the server's internal IP address (10.10.11.2).
      • -
    • Many ISPs block incoming connection requests to port -80. If you have problems connecting to your web server, try the -following rule and try connecting to port 5000 (e.g., connect to http://w.x.y.z:5000 where w.x.y.z is your - external IP).
      • - -
    - -
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:10.10.11.2:80tcp5000  
    -
    - -

    If you want to be able to access your server from the local network using - your external address, then if you have a static external IP you can - replace the loc->dmz rule above with:

    - -
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:10.10.11.2:80tcp80-<external IP>
    -
    - -

    If you have a dynamic ip then you must ensure that your external interface - is up before starting Shorewall and you must take steps as follows -(assume that your external interface is eth0):

    - -
      -
    1. Include the following in /etc/shorewall/params:
      -
      - ETH0_IP=`find_interface_address eth0`
      -  
      2. -
    2. Make your loc->dmz rule:
      3. - -
    - -
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATloc
    -     		dmz:10.10.11.2:80tcp80-$ETH0_IP
    -
    - -

    If you want to access your server from the DMZ using your external IP -address, see FAQ 2a.

    - -

    -     At this point, add the DNAT and ACCEPT rules for your servers. -

    - -

    Domain Name Server (DNS)

    - -

    Normally, when you connect to your ISP, as part of getting - an IP address your firewall's Domain Name Service (DNS) resolver - will be automatically configured (e.g., the /etc/resolv.conf file will - be written). Alternatively, your ISP may have given you the IP address - of a pair of DNS name servers for you to manually configure as -your primary and secondary name servers. It is your responsibility - to configure the resolver in your internal systems. You can take one -of two approaches:

    - -
      -
    • - -

      You can configure your internal systems to use your ISP's - name servers. If you ISP gave you the addresses of their servers -or if those addresses are available on their web site, you can configure - your internal systems to use those addresses. If that information -isn't available, look in /etc/resolv.conf on your firewall system -- -the name servers are given in "nameserver" records in that file.

      -
      • -
    • - -

      -     You can configure a Caching Name Server on your - firewall or in your DMZ. Red Hat has an RPM for a caching name - server (which also requires the 'bind' RPM) and for Bering users, - there is dnscache.lrp. If you take this approach, you configure your - internal systems to use the caching name server as their primary (and - only) name server. You use the internal IP address of the firewall -(10.10.10.254 in the example above) for the name server address if -you choose to run the name server on your firewall. To allow your local -systems to talk to your caching name server, you must open port 53 -(both UDP and TCP) from the local network to the server; you do that -by adding the rules in /etc/shorewall/rules.

      -
      • - -

    +
    + +

    The foregoing short discussion barely scratches the surface + regarding subnetting and routing. If you are interested in learning + more about IP addressing and routing, I highly recommend "IP Fundamentals: + What Everyone Needs to Know about Addressing & Routing", +Thomas A. Maufer, Prentice-Hall, 1999, ISBN 0-13-975483-0.

    + +

    The remainder of this quide will assume that you have configured + your network as shown here:

    + +

    +

    + +

    The default gateway for the DMZ computers would be 10.10.11.254 + and the default gateway for the Local computers would be 10.10.10.254.
    +

    + +

    +     WARNING: Your ISP  might assign + your external interface an RFC 1918 address. If that address is in the +10.10.10.0/24 subnet then you will need to select a DIFFERENT RFC 1918 +subnet for your local network and if it is in the 10.10.11.0/24 subnet then +you will need to select a different RFC 1918 subnet for your DMZ.
    +

    + +

    IP Masquerading (SNAT)

    + +

    The addresses reserved by RFC 1918 are sometimes referred + to as non-routable because the Internet backbone routers don't + forward packets which have an RFC-1918 destination address. When one + of your local systems (let's assume local computer 1) sends a connection + request to an internet host, the firewall must perform Network Address + Translation (NAT). The firewall rewrites the source address in +the packet to be the address of the firewall's external interface; in +other words, the firewall makes it look as if the firewall itself is +initiating the connection.  This is necessary so that the destination +host will be able to route return packets back to the firewall (remember +that packets whose destination address is reserved by RFC 1918 can't + be routed accross the internet). When the firewall receives a return +packet, it rewrites the destination address back to 10.10.10.1 and +forwards the packet on to local computer 1.

    + +

    On Linux systems, the above process is often referred to +as IP Masquerading and you will also see the term Source Network +Address Translation (SNAT) used. Shorewall follows the convention used +with Netfilter:

    + +
      +
    • + +

      Masquerade describes the case where you let your + firewall system automatically detect the external interface address. +

      +
      • +
    • + +

      SNAT refers to the case when you explicitly specify + the source address that you want outbound packets from your local + network to use.

      +
      • + +
    + +

    In Shorewall, both Masquerading and SNAT are configured with + entries in the /etc/shorewall/masq file.

    + +

    +     If your external firewall interface is eth0, your + local interface eth1 and your DMZ interface is eth2 +then you do not need to modify the file provided with the sample. Otherwise, + edit /etc/shorewall/masq and change it to match your configuration.

    + +

    +     If your external IP is static, you can enter it in the +third column in the /etc/shorewall/masq entry if you like although +your firewall will work fine if you leave that column empty. Entering +your static IP in column 3 makes
    + processing outgoing packets a little more efficient.
    +

    + +

    +     If you are using the Debian package, please check your shorewall.conf + file to ensure that the following are set correctly; if they are not, +change them appropriately:
    +

    + +
      +
    • NAT_ENABLED=Yes
      • +
    • IP_FORWARDING=On
      +
      • + +
    + +

    Port Forwarding (DNAT)

    + +

    One of your goals will be to run one or more servers on your + DMZ computers. Because these computers have RFC-1918 addresses, it +is not possible for clients on the internet to connect directly to +them. It is rather necessary for those clients to address their connection + requests to your firewall who rewrites the destination address to the + address of your server and forwards the packet to that server. When your + server responds, the firewall automatically performs SNAT to rewrite + the source address in the response.

    + +

    The above process is called Port Forwarding or + Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT). You configure port + forwarding using DNAT rules in the /etc/shorewall/rules file.

    + +

    The general form of a simple port forwarding rule in /etc/shorewall/rules + is:

    + +
    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:<server local ip address> [:<server + port>]<protocol><port>  
    +
    + +

    If you don't specify the <server port>, it is assumed to +be the same as <port>.

    + +

    Example - you run a Web Server on DMZ 2 and you want to forward incoming + TCP port 80 to that system:

    + +
    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:10.10.11.2tcp80# Forward port 80from the internet
    ACCEPTlocdmz:10.10.11.2tcp80#Allow connections from the local network
    +
    + +

    A couple of important points to keep in mind:

    + +
      +
    • When you are connecting to your server from your local + systems, you must use the server's internal IP address (10.10.11.2).
      • +
    • Many ISPs block incoming connection requests to port +80. If you have problems connecting to your web server, try the following + rule and try connecting to port 5000 (e.g., connect to http://w.x.y.z:5000 where w.x.y.z is your + external IP).
      • + +
    + +
    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:10.10.11.2:80tcp5000  
    +
    + +

    If you want to be able to access your server from the local network using + your external address, then if you have a static external IP you +can replace the loc->dmz rule above with:

    + +
    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATnetdmz:10.10.11.2:80tcp80-<external IP>
    +
    + +

    If you have a dynamic ip then you must ensure that your external interface + is up before starting Shorewall and you must take steps as follows + (assume that your external interface is eth0):

    + +
      +
    1. Include the following in /etc/shorewall/params:
      +
      + ETH0_IP=`find_interface_address eth0`
      +  
      2. +
    2. Make your loc->dmz rule:
      3. + +
    + +
    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    ACTIONSOURCEDESTINATIONPROTOCOLPORTSOURCE PORTORIGINAL ADDRESS
    DNATloc
    +     		dmz:10.10.11.2:80tcp80-$ETH0_IP
    +
    + +

    If you want to access your server from the DMZ using your external IP + address, see FAQ 2a.

    + +

    +     At this point, add the DNAT and ACCEPT rules for your +servers.

    + +

    Domain Name Server (DNS)

    + +

    Normally, when you connect to your ISP, as part of getting + an IP address your firewall's Domain Name Service (DNS) resolver + will be automatically configured (e.g., the /etc/resolv.conf file +will be written). Alternatively, your ISP may have given you the IP +address of a pair of DNS name servers for you to manually configure +as your primary and secondary name servers. It is your responsibility + to configure the resolver in your internal systems. You can take one + of two approaches:

    + +
      +
    • + +

      You can configure your internal systems to use your ISP's + name servers. If you ISP gave you the addresses of their servers + or if those addresses are available on their web site, you can configure + your internal systems to use those addresses. If that information + isn't available, look in /etc/resolv.conf on your firewall system +-- the name servers are given in "nameserver" records in that file. +

      +
      • +
    • + +

      +     You can configure a Caching Name Server on your + firewall or in your DMZ. Red Hat has an RPM for a caching +name server (which also requires the 'bind' RPM) and for Bering +users, there is dnscache.lrp. If you take this approach, you configure +your internal systems to use the caching name server as their primary +(and only) name server. You use the internal IP address of the firewall +(10.10.10.254 in the example above) for the name server address if +you choose to run the name server on your firewall. To allow your local +systems to talk to your caching name server, you must open port 53 +(both UDP and TCP) from the local network to the server; you do that +by adding the rules in /etc/shorewall/rules.

      +
      • + +
    + +
    +

    If you run the name server on the firewall: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

    Adresses IP

    Avant d'aller plus loin, nous devons dire quelques mots -au sujet du Protocole d'adresse Internet (IP). Normalement, votre -fournisseur Internet (ISP) vous assignera une seule adresse IP (single -Public IP address). Cette adresse peut être assignée par le Dynamic Host -Configuration Protocol (DHCP) ou lors de l'établissement de votre -connexion lorsque vous vous connectez (modem standard) ou établissez -votre connexion PPP. Dans de rares cas , votre provider peu vous -assigner une adresse statique (staticIP address); cela signifie que vous -configurez votre interface externe sur votre firewall afin d'utiliser -cette adresse de manière permanente. Une fois votre adresse externe -assignée, elle va être partagée par tout vos systèmes lors de l'accès à -Internet. Vous devrez assigner vos propres adresses à votre réseau -local (votre interface interne sur le firewall ainsi que les autres -ordinateurs). La RFC 1918 réserve plusieurs plages d'IP (Private IP -address ranges) à cette fin :

    +
    + +

    Avant de lancer Shorewall, vous devriez regarder l'adresse -de votre interface externe et si elle est comprise dans une des plages -précédentes, vous devriez enlever l'option 'norfc1918' dans le fichier -/etc/shorewall/interfaces.

    Vous devrez assigner les adresses locales à un -sous-réseau (sub-network ou subnet) et les adresse pour -la DMZ à un autre sous-réseau. Pour ce faire, nous pouvons considérer -qu'un sous-réseau consiste en une plage d'adresse x.y.z.0 à x.y.z.255. -Chacun des sous-réseaux possèdera une masque (Subnet Mask) de -255.255.255.0. L'adresse x.y.z.0 est réservée comme l'adresse du -sous-réseau (Subnet Address) et x.y.z.255 est réservée en -tant qu'adresse de broadcast du sous-réseau (Subnet Broadcast Address). -Sous Shorewall, un sous-réseau est décrit/désigné en utilisant la -notation Classless -InterDomain Routing(CIDR) qui consiste en l'adresse du -sous-réseau suivie par "/24".

    IP Masquerading (SNAT)

    -

    Les adresses réservées par la RFC 1918 sont parfois -désignées comme non-routables car les routeurs Internet (backbone) ne -font pas circuler les paquets qui ont une adresse de destination -appartenant à la RFC-1918. Lorsqu'un de vos systèmes en local (supposons -l'ordinateur1) demande une connexion à un serveur par Internet, le -firewall doit appliquer un NAT (Network Address Translation). Le -firewall ré écrit l'adresse source dans le paquet, et l'a remplace par -l'adresse de l'interface externe du firewall; en d'autres mots, le -firewall fait croire que c'est lui même qui initie la connexion. Ceci -est nécessaire afin que l'hôte de destination soit capable de renvoyer -les paquets au firewall (souvenez vous que les paquets qui ont pour -adresse de destination, une adresse réservée par la RFC 1918 ne pourront -pas être routés à travers Internet, donc l'hôte Internet ne pourra -adresser sa réponse à l'ordinateur 1). Lorsque le firewall reçoit le -paquet de réponse, il remet l'adresse de destination à 10.10.10.1 et -fait passer le paquet vers l'ordinateur 1.

    -

    Sur les systèmes Linux, ce procédé est souvent appelé -de l'IP Masquerading mais vous verrez aussi le terme de Source Network -Address Translation (SNAT) utilisé. Shorewall suit la convention -utilisée avec Netfilter :

    Un de nos buts est de, peut être, faire tourner un ou -plusieurs serveurs sur nos ordinateurs dans la DMZ. que ces ordinateurs -on une adresse RFC-1918, il n'est pas possible pour les clients sur -Internet de se connecter directement à eux. Il est nécessaire à ces -clients d'adresser leurs demandes de connexion au firewall qui ré écrit -l'adresse de destination de votre serveur, et fait passer le paquet à -celui-ci. Lorsque votre serveur répond, le firewall applique -automatiquement un SNAT pour ré écrire l'adresse source dans la réponse.

    Ce procédé est appelé Port Forwarding ou Destination -Network Address Translation(DNAT). Vous configurez le port forwarding en -utilisant les règles DNAT dans le fichier /etc/shorewall/rules.

    Un de nos buts est de, peut être, faire tourner un ou plusieurs +serveurs sur nos ordinateurs dans la DMZ. que ces ordinateurs on une adresse +RFC-1918, il n'est pas possible pour les clients sur Internet de se connecter +directement à eux. Il est nécessaire à ces clients d'adresser leurs demandes +de connexion au firewall qui ré écrit l'adresse de destination de votre serveur, +et fait passer le paquet à celui-ci. Lorsque votre serveur répond, le firewall +applique automatiquement un SNAT pour ré écrire l'adresse source dans la +réponse.

    Deux points importants à garder en mémoire :

    +
      -
    • Lorsque vous vous connectez à votre serveur à partir de votre -réseau local, vous devez utiliser l'adresse IP interne du serveur -(10.10.11.2).
      • -
    • Quelques fournisseurs Internet (Provider/ISP) bloquent les -requêtes de connexion entrantes sur le port 80. Si vous avez des -problèmes pour vous connecter à votre serveur web, essayez la règle -suivante et connectez vous sur le port 5000 (c.a.d., connectez vous à http://w.x.y.z:5000 où w.x.y.z est votre -IP externe).

    • Vous pouvez installer/configurer un cache dns -(Caching Name Server) sur votre firewall ou dans la DMZ. Red Hat -a un RPM pour mettre en cache un serveur de nom (le RPM requis aussi le -RPM 'bind') et pour les utilisateurs de Bering, il y a dnscache.lrp. Si -vous adoptez cette approche, vous configurez votre système interne pour -utiliser le firewall lui même comme étant le seul serveur de nom -primaire. Vous pouvez utiliser l'adresse IP interne du firewall -(10.10.10.254 dans l'exemple) pour l'adresse de serveur de nom si vous -décidez de faire tourner le serveur de nom sur votre firewall. Pour -permettre à vos systèmes locaux de discuter avec votre serveur cache de -nom, vous devez ouvrir le port 53 (UDP ET  TCP) sur le firewall vers le -réseau local; vous ferez ceci en ajoutant les règles suivantes dans -/etc/shorewall/rules.

    Beginning with version 1.2.0, Shorewall has limited support - for traffic shaping/control. In order to use traffic shaping under -Shorewall, it is essential that you get a copy of the Linux Advanced Routing and Shaping HOWTO, - version 0.3.0 or later. You must also install the iproute (iproute2) - package to provide the "ip" and "tc" utilities.

    - The command that failed was: "iptables -A reject -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with - tcp-reset". In this case, the user had compiled his own kernel and had forgotten - to include REJECT target support (see kernel.htm) - -

    Your network environment

    - -

    Many times when people have problems with Shorewall, the problem is - actually an ill-conceived network setup. Here are several popular snafus: -

    - -
      -
    • Port Forwarding where client and server are in -the same subnet. See FAQ 2.
      • -
    • Changing the IP address of a local system to be in the external - subnet, thinking that Shorewall will suddenly believe that the system - is in the 'net' zone.
      • -
    • Multiple interfaces connected to the same HUB or Switch. -Given the way that the Linux kernel respond to ARP "who-has" requests, -this type of setup does NOT work the way that you expect it to.
      • - -
    - -

    If you are having connection problems:

    - -

    If the appropriate policy for the connection that you are - trying to make is ACCEPT, please DO NOT ADD ADDITIONAL ACCEPT RULES TRYING - TO MAKE IT WORK. Such additional rules will NEVER make it work, they add - clutter to your rule set and they represent a big security hole in the -event that you forget to remove them later.

    - -

    I also recommend against setting all of your policies to - ACCEPT in an effort to make something work. That robs you of one of - your best diagnostic tools - the "Shorewall" messages that Netfilter - will generate when you try to connect in a way that isn't permitted - by your rule set.

    - -

    Check your log ("/sbin/shorewall show log"). If you don't - see Shorewall messages, then your problem is probably NOT a Shorewall -problem. If you DO see packet messages, it may be an indication that you -are missing one or more rules -- see FAQ 17.

    - -

    While you are troubleshooting, it is a good idea to clear - two variables in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf:

    - -

    LOGRATE=""

    Other Gotchas

    - +

    Your network environment

    + +

    Many times when people have problems with Shorewall, the problem is +actually an ill-conceived network setup. Here are several popular snafus: +

    +
      -
    • Seeing rejected/dropped packets logged out of the INPUT -or FORWARD chains? This means that: - +
    • Port Forwarding where client and server are in + the same subnet. See FAQ 2.
      • +
    • Changing the IP address of a local system to be in the +external subnet, thinking that Shorewall will suddenly believe that +the system is in the 'net' zone.
      • +
    • Multiple interfaces connected to the same HUB or Switch. + Given the way that the Linux kernel respond to ARP "who-has" requests, + this type of setup does NOT work the way that you expect it to.
      • + +
    + +

    If you are having connection problems:

    + +

    If the appropriate policy for the connection that you are + trying to make is ACCEPT, please DO NOT ADD ADDITIONAL ACCEPT RULES TRYING + TO MAKE IT WORK. Such additional rules will NEVER make it work, they +add clutter to your rule set and they represent a big security hole in +the event that you forget to remove them later.

    + +

    I also recommend against setting all of your policies to + ACCEPT in an effort to make something work. That robs you of one of + your best diagnostic tools - the "Shorewall" messages that Netfilter + will generate when you try to connect in a way that isn't permitted + by your rule set.

    + +

    Check your log ("/sbin/shorewall show log"). If you don't + see Shorewall messages, then your problem is probably NOT a Shorewall + problem. If you DO see packet messages, it may be an indication that you + are missing one or more rules -- see FAQ 17.

    + +

    While you are troubleshooting, it is a good idea to clear + two variables in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf:

    + +

    LOGRATE=""
    + LOGBURST=""

    + +

    This way, you will see all of the log messages being + generated (be sure to restart shorewall after clearing these variables).

    + +

    Example:

    If you are running Shorewall under Mandrake 9.0 or later, you can easily - configure the above setup using the Mandrake "Internet Connection Sharing" - applet. From the Mandrake Control Center, select "Network & Internet" - then "Connection Sharing".

    Note however, that the Shorewall configuration produced by Mandrake -Internet Connection Sharing is strange and is apt to confuse you if you use -the rest of this documentation (it has two local zones; "loc" and "masq" -where "loc" is empty; this conflicts with this documentation which assumes -a single local zone "loc"). We therefore recommend that once you have set -up this sharing that you uninstall the Mandrake Shorewall RPM and install -the one from the download page then follow the -instructions in this Guide.
    -

    This guide assumes that you have the iproute/iproute2 package installed - (on RedHat, the package is called iproute). You can -tell if this package is installed by the presence of an ip program - on your firewall system. As root, you can use the 'which' command to - check for this program:

    IP Addresses

    Before going further, we should say a few words about Internet - Protocol (IP) addresses. Normally, your ISP will assign you - a single Public IP address. This address may be assigned via -the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or as part of establishing - your connection when you dial in (standard modem) or establish your PPP - connection. In rare cases, your ISP may assign you a static IP -address; that means that you configure your firewall's external interface - to use that address permanently. However your external address -is assigned, it will be shared by all of your systems when you access the - Internet. You will have to assign your own addresses in your internal network -(the Internal Interface on your firewall plus your other computers). RFC -1918 reserves several Private IP address ranges for this purpose:

    You will want to assign your addresses from the same - sub-network (subnet).  For our purposes, we can consider a subnet - to consists of a range of addresses x.y.z.0 - x.y.z.255. Such a -subnet will have a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. The address -x.y.z.0 is reserved as the Subnet Address and x.y.z.255 is -reserved as the Subnet Broadcast Address.

The "24" refers to the number of consecutive leading "1" bits -from the left of the subnet mask.

    IP Masquerading (SNAT)

    - -

    The addresses reserved by RFC 1918 are sometimes referred - to as non-routable because the Internet backbone routers don't - forward packets which have an RFC-1918 destination address. When one - of your local systems (let's assume computer 1) sends a connection request - to an internet host, the firewall must perform Network Address -Translation (NAT). The firewall rewrites the source address in -the packet to be the address of the firewall's external interface; in -other words, the firewall makes it look as if the firewall itself is -initiating the connection.  This is necessary so that the destination -host will be able to route return packets back to the firewall (remember -that packets whose destination address is reserved by RFC 1918 can't -be routed across the internet so the remote host can't address its response -to computer 1). When the firewall receives a return packet, it rewrites -the destination address back to 10.10.10.1 and forwards the packet on to -computer 1.

    On Linux systems, the above process is often referred to as - IP Masquerading but you will also see the term Source Network Address - Translation (SNAT) used. Shorewall follows the convention used with - Netfilter:

    Version >= 1.3.14

    - -      Beginning in version 1.3.14, Shorewall treats entries in /etc/shorewall/masq differently. The change - involves entries with an interface name in the SUBNET (second) - column:
    - -
      -
    • Prior to 1.3.14, Shorewall would detect the FIRST subnet on the -interface (as shown by "ip addr show interface") and would masquerade -traffic from that subnet. Any other subnets that routed through eth1 needed -their own entry in /etc/shorewall/masq to be masqueraded or to have SNAT -applied.
      • -
    • Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, Shorewall uses the firewall's -routing table to determine ALL subnets routed through the named interface. -Traffic originating in ANY of those subnets is masqueraded or has SNAT -applied.
      • - -
    - You will need to make a change to your configuration if:
    - -
      -
    1. You have one or more entries in /etc/shorewall/masq with an interface - name in the SUBNET (second) column; and
      2. -
    2. That interface connects to more than one subnetwork.
      3. - -
    - Two examples:
    -
    -  Example 1 -- Suppose that your current config is as follows:
    -   
    - -
    	[root@gateway test]# cat /etc/shorewall/masq
    	#INTERFACE              SUBNET                  ADDRESS
    	eth0                    eth2                    206.124.146.176
    	eth0                    192.168.10.0/24         206.124.146.176
    	#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE
    	[root@gateway test]# ip route show dev eth2
    	192.168.1.0/24  scope link
    	192.168.10.0/24  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.10.254
    	[root@gateway test]#
    - -
    In this case, the second entry in /etc/shorewall/masq is no longer - required.
    -
    - Example 2-- What if your current configuration is like this?
    - -
    	[root@gateway test]# cat /etc/shorewall/masq	
    	#INTERFACE              SUBNET                  ADDRESS

    	192.168.10.0/24  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.10.254	
    	[root@gateway test]#
    - -
    In this case, you would want to change the entry in /etc/shorewall/masq - to:
    -
    - -
    	#INTERFACE              SUBNET                  ADDRESS	
    	eth0                    192.168.1.0/24          206.124.146.176
    	#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE
    - -     Version 1.3.14 also introduced simplified ICMP echo-request (ping) -handling. The option OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf -is used to specify that the old (pre-1.3.14) ping handling is to be used -(If the option is not set in your /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf then OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes - is assumed). I don't plan on supporting the old handling indefinitely so -I urge current users to migrate to using the new handling as soon as possible. - See the 'Ping' handling documentation for details.

    Version >= 1.3.9

    - The 'functions' file has moved to /usr/lib/shorewall/functions. If -you have an application that uses functions from that file, your application - will need to be changed to reflect this change of location.
    - -

    Version >= 1.3.8

    - -

    If you have a pair of firewall systems configured for failover - or if you have asymmetric routing, you will need to modify - your firewall setup slightly under Shorewall - versions >= 1.3.8. Beginning with version 1.3.8, - you must set NEWNOTSYN=Yes in your - /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf file.

    - -

    Version >= 1.3.7

    - -

    Users specifying ALLOWRELATED=No in /etc/shorewall.conf - will need to include the following rules - in their /etc/shorewall/icmpdef file (creating - this file if necessary):

    - -
    	run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type echo-reply -j ACCEPT
    	run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type source-quench -j ACCEPT
    	run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type destination-unreachable -j ACCEPT
    	run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type time-exceeded -j ACCEPT
    	run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type parameter-problem -j ACCEPT
    - -

    Users having an /etc/shorewall/icmpdef file may remove the ". /etc/shorewall/icmp.def" - command from that file since the icmp.def file is now empty.

    - -

    Upgrading Bering to - Shorewall >= 1.3.3

    - -

    To properly upgrade with Shorewall version - 1.3.3 and later:

    - -
      -
    1. Be sure you have a backup -- - you will need to transcribe any Shorewall - configuration changes that you have made - to the new configuration.
      2. -
    2. Replace the shorwall.lrp package - provided on the Bering floppy with the - later one. If you did not obtain the -later version from Jacques's site, see -additional instructions below.
      3. -
    3. Edit the /var/lib/lrpkg/root.exclude.list - file and remove the /var/lib/shorewall - entry if present. Then do not forget to - backup root.lrp !
      4. - -
    - -

    The .lrp that I release isn't set up for a two-interface firewall like - Jacques's. You need to follow the instructions - for setting up a two-interface firewall plus you also need to add - the following two Bering-specific rules to /etc/shorewall/rules:

    - -
    - 
    # Bering specific rules:
    # allow loc to fw udp/53 for dnscache to work
    # allow loc to fw tcp/80 for weblet to work
    #
    ACCEPT loc fw udp 53
    ACCEPT loc fw tcp 80
    -
    - -

    Version 1.3.6 and 1.3.7

    - -

    If you have a pair of firewall systems configured for - failover or if you have asymmetric routing, you will need to modify - your firewall setup slightly under Shorewall versions 1.3.6 - and 1.3.7

    - -
      -
    1. - -

      Create the file /etc/shorewall/newnotsyn and in it add - the following rule
      -
      - run_iptables -A newnotsyn -j RETURN - # So that the connection tracking table can be rebuilt
      -                                     # from non-SYN packets - after takeover.
      -  

      -
      2. -
    2. + The 'functions' file has moved to /usr/lib/shorewall/functions. If + you have an application that uses functions from that file, your application + will need to be changed to reflect this change of location.
      -

      Create /etc/shorewall/common (if you don't already - have that file) and include the following:
      -
      - run_iptables -A common -p tcp --tcp-flags - ACK,FIN,RST ACK -j ACCEPT #Accept Acks to rebuild connection
      -                                                                     - #tracking table.
      - . /etc/shorewall/common.def

      The functions and versions files together with the - 'firewall' symbolic link have moved from /etc/shorewall to /var/lib/shorewall. - If you have applications that access these files, those applications - should be modified accordingly.

      The .lrp that I release isn't set up for a two-interface firewall like + Jacques's. You need to follow the instructions + for setting up a two-interface firewall plus you also need to +add the following two Bering-specific rules to /etc/shorewall/rules:

      + +
      + 
      # Bering specific rules:
      # allow loc to fw udp/53 for dnscache to work
      # allow loc to fw tcp/80 for weblet to work
      #
      ACCEPT loc fw udp 53
      ACCEPT loc fw tcp 80
      +
      + +

      Version 1.3.6 and 1.3.7

      + +

      If you have a pair of firewall systems configured for + failover or if you have asymmetric routing, you will need to modify + your firewall setup slightly under Shorewall versions 1.3.6 + and 1.3.7

      + +
        +
      1. + +

        Create the file /etc/shorewall/newnotsyn and in it add + the following rule
        +
        + run_iptables -A newnotsyn -j RETURN + # So that the connection tracking table can be rebuilt
        +                                     # from non-SYN +packets after takeover.

        Create /etc/shorewall/common (if you don't already + have that file) and include the following:
        +
        + run_iptables -A common -p tcp --tcp-flags + ACK,FIN,RST ACK -j ACCEPT #Accept Acks to rebuild connection
        +                                                                     + #tracking table.
