<h1 style="text-align: center;">Proxy ARP<br>
</h1>
<p>Proxy ARP allows you to insert a firewall in front of a set of
servers without changing their IP addresses and without having to
re-subnet. Before you try to use this technique, I strongly recommend
that you read the <a href="shorewall_setup_guide.htm">Shorewall Setup
Guide.</a></p>
<p>The following figure represents a Proxy ARP environment.</p>
<blockquote>

<blockquote> </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">Proxy ARP can be used to make the systems with
addresses 130.252.100.18 and 130.252.100.19 appear to be on the upper
(130.252.100.*) subnet.&nbsp; Assuming that the upper firewall
interface is eth0 and the lower interface is eth1, this is accomplished
using the following entries in /etc/shorewall/proxyarp:</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="2" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b>ADDRESS</b></td>
<td><b>INTERFACE</b></td>
<td><b>EXTERNAL</b></td>
<td><b>HAVEROUTE</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>130.252.100.18</td>
<td>eth1</td>
<td>eth0</td>
<td>no</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>130.252.100.19</td>
<td>eth1</td>
<td>eth0</td>
<td>no</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
<p>Be sure that the internal systems (130.242.100.18 and
130.252.100.19&nbsp; in the above example) are not included in any
specification in /etc/shorewall/masq or /etc/shorewall/nat.</p>
<p>Note that I've used an RFC1918 IP address for eth1 - that IP address
is irrelevant. </p>
<p>The lower systems (130.252.100.18 and 130.252.100.19) should have
their subnet mask and default gateway configured exactly the same way
that the Firewall system's eth0 is configured. In other words, they
should be configured just like they would be if they were parallel to
the firewall rather than behind it.<br>
</p>
<p><font color="#ff0000"><b>NOTE: Do not add the Proxy ARP'ed
address(es) (130.252.100.18 and 130.252.100.19 in the above

firewall.</b></font><br>

<p align="left">A word of warning is in order here. ISPs typically
configure their routers with a long ARP cache timeout. If you move a
system from parallel to your firewall to behind your firewall with
Proxy ARP, it
will probably be HOURS before that system can communicate with the
internet. There are a couple of things that you can try:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>(Courtesy of Bradey Honsinger) A reading of Stevens' <i>TCP/IP
Illustrated, Vol 1</i> reveals that a <br>
<br>
"gratuitous" ARP packet should cause the ISP's router to refresh their
ARP cache (section 4.7). A gratuitous ARP is simply a host requesting
the MAC address for its own IP; in addition to ensuring that the IP
address
isn't a duplicate...<br>
<br>
"if the host sending the gratuitous ARP has just changed its hardware
address..., this packet causes any other host...that has an entry in
its cache for the old hardware address to update its ARP cache entry
accordingly."<br>
<br>
Which is, of course, exactly what you want to do when you switch a host
from being exposed to the Internet to behind Shorewall using proxy ARP
(or one-to-one NAT for that matter). Happily enough, recent versions of
Redhat's iputils package include "arping", whose "-U" flag does just
that:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I <i>&lt;net
if&gt; &lt;newly proxied IP&gt;</i></b></font><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I eth0
66.58.99.83 # for example</b></font><br>
<br>
Stevens goes on to mention that not all systems respond correctly to
gratuitous ARPs, but googling for "arping -U" seems to support the idea
that it works most of the time.<br>
<br>
To use arping with Proxy ARP in the above example, you would have to:<br>
<br>
<font color="#009900"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; shorewall clear<br>
</b></font>&nbsp; &nbsp; <font color="#009900"><b>ip addr add
130.252.100.18 dev eth0<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; ip addr add 130.252.100.19 dev eth0</b></font><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I eth0
130.252.100.18</b></font><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I eth0 130.252.100.19</b></font><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <b><font color="#009900">ip addr del 130.252.100.18 dev
eth0<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; ip addr del 130.252.100.19 dev eth0<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; shorewall start</font></b><br>
<br>
</li>
<li>You can call your ISP and ask them to purge the stale ARP cache
entry but many either can't or won't purge individual entries.</li>
</ol>
You can determine if your ISP's gateway ARP cache is stale using ping
and tcpdump. Suppose that we suspect that the gateway router has a
stale ARP cache entry for 130.252.100.19. On the firewall, run tcpdump
as follows:</div>
<div align="left">
<pre> <font color="#009900"><b>tcpdump -nei eth0 icmp</b></font></pre>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Now from 130.252.100.19, ping the ISP's gateway (which
we will assume is 130.252.100.254):</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<pre> <b><font color="#009900">ping 130.252.100.254</font></b></pre>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">We can now observe the tcpdump output:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<pre> 13:35:12.159321 <u>0:4:e2:20:20:33</u> 0:0:77:95:dd:19 ip 98: 130.252.100.19 &gt; 130.252.100.254: icmp: echo request (DF)<br> 13:35:12.207615 0:0:77:95:dd:19 <u>0:c0:a8:50:b2:57</u> ip 98: 130.252.100.254 &gt; 130.252.100.177 : icmp: echo reply</pre>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Notice that the source MAC address in the echo request
is different from the destination MAC address in the echo reply!! In
this case 0:4:e2:20:20:33 was the MAC of the firewall's eth0 NIC while
0:c0:a8:50:b2:57 was the MAC address of the system on the lower left.
In other words,
the gateway's ARP cache still associates 130.252.100.19 with the NIC
in that system rather than with the firewall's eth0.</p>
