<section>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>While most configurations can be handled with each of the firewall's
network interfaces assigned to a single zone, there are cases where you
will want to divide the hosts accessed through an interface between two or
more zones.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The interface has multiple addresses on multiple subnetworks.
This case is covered in the <ulink
url="Shorewall_and_Aliased_Interfaces.html">Aliased Interface
documentation</ulink>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You are using some form of NAT and want to access a server by
its external IP address from the same LAN segment. This is covered in
<ulink url="FAQ.htm#faq2">FAQs 2 and 2a</ulink>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>There are routers accessible through the interface and you want
to treat the networks accessed through that router as a separate
zone.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Some of the hosts accessed through an interface have
significantly different firewalling requirements from the others so
you want to assign them to a different zone.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The key points to keep in mind when setting up multiple zones per
interface are:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Shorewall generates rules for zones in the order that the zone
declarations appear in /etc/shorewall/zones unless you modify the
processing order using the explicit
<emphasis>child-zone</emphasis>:<emphasis>parent-zone</emphasis>
syntax, in which case the child zone rules are generated first.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The order of entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts is immaterial as
far as the generated ruleset is concerned.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para><emphasis role="bold">These examples use the local zone but the same
technique works for any zone.</emphasis> Remember that Shorewall doesn't
have any conceptual knowledge of <quote>Internet</quote>,
<quote>Local</quote>, or <quote>DMZ</quote> so all zones except the
firewall itself ($FW) are the same as far as Shorewall is concerned. Also,
the examples use private (RFC 1918) addresses but public IP addresses can
be used in exactly the same way.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Router in the Local Zone</title>
<para>Here is an example of a router in the local zone.</para>
<note>
<para>the <emphasis role="bold">box called <quote>Router</quote> could
be a VPN server</emphasis> or other such device; from the point of view
of this discussion, it makes no difference.</para>

<section>
<title>Can You Use the Standard Configuration?</title>
<para>In many cases, the <ulink url="two-interface.htm">standard
two-interface Shorewall setup</ulink> will work fine in this
configuration. It will work if:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The firewall requirements to/from the internet are the same
for 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The hosts in 192.168.1.0/24 know that the route to
192.168.2.0/24 is through the <emphasis
role="bold">router</emphasis>.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>All you have to do on the firewall is add a route to
192.168.2.0/24 through the <emphasis role="bold">router</emphasis> and
restart Shorewall.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Will One Zone be Enough?</title>
<para>If the firewalling requirements for the two local networks is the
same but the hosts in 192.168.1.0/24 don't know how to route to
192.168.2.0/24 then you need to configure the firewall slightly
differently. This type of configuration is rather stupid from an IP
networking point of view but it is sometimes necessary because you
simply don't want to have to reconfigure all of the hosts in
192.168.1.0/24 to add a persistent route to 192.168.2.0/24. On the
firewall:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Add a route to 192.168.2.0/24 through the <emphasis
role="bold">Router</emphasis>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Set the <quote>routeback</quote> option for eth1 (the local
firewall interface) in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Restart Shorewall.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</section>
<section>
<title>I Need Separate Zones</title>
<para>If you need to make 192.168.2.0/24 into its own zone, you can do
it one of two ways; Nested Zones or Parallel Zones. Again, it is likely
that you will need to be running Shorewall 2.0.16 or later and that you
will have to set DROPINVALID=No in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>.</para>
<section>
<title>Nested Zones</title>
<para>You can define one zone (called it <quote>loc</quote>) as being
all hosts connectied to eth1 and a second zone <quote>loc1</quote>
(192.168.2.0/24) as a sub-zone.</para>
<graphic fileref="images/MultiZone1A.png" />
<para>The advantage of this approach is that the zone
<quote>loc1</quote> can use CONTINUE policies such that if a
connection request doesn't match a <quote>loc1</quote> rule, it will
be matched against the <quote>loc</quote> rules. For example, if your
loc1-&gt;net policy is CONTINUE then if a connection request from loc1
to the internet doesn't match any rules for loc1-&gt;net then it will
be checked against the loc-&gt;net rules.</para>

two policies.</para>

<title>Some Hosts have Special Firewalling Requirements</title>
<para>There are cases where a subset of the addresses associated with an
interface need special handling. Here's an example.</para>

<para>In this example, addresses 192.168.1.8 - 192.168.1.15
(192.168.1.8/29) are to be treated as their own zone (loc1).</para>

<title>One-armed Router</title>
<para>Nested zones may also be used to configure a
<quote>one-armed</quote> router (I don't call it a <quote>firewall</quote>
because it is very insecure. For example, if you connect to the internet
via cable modem, your next door neighbor has full access to your local
systems as does everyone else connected to the same cable modem head-end
controller). Here eth0 is configured with both a public IP address and an
RFC 1918 address (More on that topic may be found <ulink
url="Shorewall_and_Aliased_Interfaces.html">here</ulink>). Hosts in the
<quote>loc</quote> zone are configured with their default gateway set to
the Shorewall router's RFC1918 address.</para>

your router from unauthorized access by your friends and neighbors. Start
without maclist then add it and configure your <ulink

file when everything else is working.</para>
