About My Network

My Current Network

I have DSL service and have 5 static IP addresses (206.124.146.176-180). My DSL "modem" (Fujitsu Speedport) is connected to eth0. I have a local network connected to eth2 (subnet 192.168.1.0/24) and a DMZ connected to eth1 (192.168.2.0/24).

I use Static NAT for all internal systems (those connected to the switch) except my Wife's system (tarry) and the Wireless Access Point (wap) which are masqueraded through the primary gateway address (206.124.146.176).

The firewall runs on a 128MB PII/233 with RH7.2 and Kernel 2.4.19.

My personal GNU/Linux System (wookie) is 192.168.1.3 and my personal Windows XP system (ursa) is 192.168.1.5. Wookie runs Samba and acts as the a WINS server. Wookie is in its own 'whitelist' zone called 'me'.

My laptop (eastept1) is connected to eth3 using a cross-over cable. It runs its own Sygate firewall software and is managed by Proxy ARP.

The single system in the DMZ (address 206.124.146.177) runs postfix, Courier IMAP (imaps and pop3), DNS, a Web server (Apache) and an FTP server (Pure-ftpd). The system also runs fetchmail to fetch our email from our old and current ISPs. That server is managed through Proxy ARP.

The firewall system itself runs a DHCP server that serves the local network.

All administration and publishing is done using ssh/scp.

I run an SNMP server on my firewall to serve MRTG running in the DMZ.

The ethernet interface in the Server is configured with IP address 206.124.146.177, netmask 255.255.255.0. The server's default gateway is 206.124.146.254 (Router at my ISP. This is the same default gateway used by the firewall itself). On the firewall, Shorewall automatically adds a host route to 206.124.146.177 through eth1 (192.168.2.1) because of the entry in /etc/shorewall/proxyarp (see below).

A similar setup is used on eth3 (192.168.3.1) which interfaces to my laptop (206.124.146.180).

Note: My files use features not available before Shorewall version 1.3.4.

This is set up so that I can start the firewall before bringing up my Ethernet interfaces.

Masq File:

Although most of our internal systems use static NAT, my wife's system (192.168.1.4) uses IP Masquerading (actually SNAT) as do visitors with laptops.
