<title>Addresses</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>In both Shorewall and Shorewall6, there are two basic types of
|
||
addresses:</para>
|
||
|
||
<variablelist>
|
||
<varlistentry>
|
||
<term>Host Address</term>
|
||
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>This address type refer to a single host.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In IPv4, the format is <emphasis>i.j.k.l</emphasis> where
|
||
<emphasis>i</emphasis> through <emphasis>l</emphasis> are decimal
|
||
numbers between 1 and 255.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In IPv6, the format is <emphasis>a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h</emphasis>
|
||
where <emphasis>a</emphasis> through <emphasis>h</emphasis> consist
|
||
of 1 to 4 hexidecimal digits (leading zeros may be omitted). a
|
||
single series of 0 addresses may be omitted. For example
|
||
2001:227:e857:1:0:0:0:0:1 may be written 2001:227:e857:1::1.</para>
|

</varlistentry>
|
||
|
||
<varlistentry>
|
||
<term>Network Address</term>
|
||
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>A network address refers to 1 or more hosts and consists of a
|
||
host address followed by a slash ("/") and a <firstterm>Variable
|
||
Length Subnet Mask</firstterm> (VLSM). This is known as
|
||
<firstterm>Classless Internet Domain Routing</firstterm> (CIDR)
|
||
notation.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The VLSM is a decimal number. For IPv4, it is in the range 0
|
||
through 32. For IPv6, the range is 0 through 128. The number
|
||
represents the number of leading bits in the address that represent
|
||
the network address; the remainder of the bits are a host address
|
||
and are generally given as zero.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Examples:</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>IPv4: 192.168.1.0/24</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>IPv6: 2001:227:e857:1:0:0:0:0:1/64</para>
|

</listitem>
|
||
</varlistentry>
|
||
</variablelist>
|
||
|
||
<para>In the Shorewall documentation and manpages, we have tried to make
|
||
it clear which type of address is accepted in each specific case.</para>

|

|
||
<caution>
|
||
<para>Prior to Shorewall 4.4.17, if you are using <ulink
|
||
url="CompiledPrograms.html%23Lite">Shorewall Lite</ulink> , it is not
|
||
advisable to use INCLUDE in the <filename>params</filename> file in an
|
||
export directory if you set EXPORTPARAMS=Yes in <ulink
|
||
url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink> (5). If you do
|
||
that, you must ensure that the included file is also present on the
|
||
firewall system's <filename
|
||
class="directory">/etc/shorewall-lite/</filename> directory.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If you only need the <filename>params</filename> file at compile
|
||
time, you can set EXPORTPARAMS=No in
|
||
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename>. That prevents the
|
||
<filename>params</filename> file from being copied into the compiled
|
||
script. With EXPORTPARAMS=No, it is perfectly okay to use INCLUDE in the
|
||
<filename>params</filename> file. Note that with Shorewall 4.4.17 and
|
||
later:</para>
|
||
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem>
|

<para>The variables set at compile time are available at run-time

<section id="CONFIG_PATH">

<title>CONFIG_PATH</title>
|

<para>The CONFIG_PATH option in shorewall.conf determines where the

compiler searches for files. The default setting is

CONFIG_PATH=/etc/shorewall:/usr/share/shorewall which means that the
|
||
compiler first looks in /etc/shorewall and if it doesn't find the file, it
|
||
then looks in /usr/share/shorewall.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>You can change this setting to have the compiler look in different
|
||
places. For example, if you want to put your own versions of standard
|
||
macros in /etc/shorewall/Macros, then you could set
|
||
CONFIG_PATH=/etc/shorewall:/etc/shorewall/Macros:/usr/share/shorewall and

the compiler will use your versions rather than the standard ones.</para>

<title>Using DNS Names</title>
|
||
|
||
<caution>
|
||
<para>I personally recommend strongly against using DNS names in
|
||
Shorewall configuration files. If you use DNS names and you are called
|
||
out of bed at 2:00AM because Shorewall won't start as a result of DNS
|
||
problems then don't say that you were not forewarned.</para>
|
||
</caution>
|
||
|
||
<para>Host addresses in Shorewall configuration files may be specified as
|
||
either IP addresses or DNS Names.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>DNS names in iptables rules aren't nearly as useful as they first
|
||
appear. When a DNS name appears in a rule, the iptables utility resolves
|
||
the name to one or more IP addresses and inserts those addresses into the
|
||
rule. So changes in the DNS->IP address relationship that occur after
|
||
the firewall has started have absolutely no effect on the firewall's rule
|
||
set.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For some sites, using DNS names is very risky. Here's an
|
||
example:</para>

<title>Using MAC Addresses</title>
|

|

<para>Media Access Control (MAC) addresses can be used to specify packet
|
||
source in several of the configuration files. In order to control traffic
|
||
to/from a host by its MAC address, the host must be on the same network as
|
||
the firewall.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>To use this feature, your kernel must have MAC Address Match support
|
||
(CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC) included.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>MAC addresses are 48 bits wide and each Ethernet Controller has a
|
||
unique MAC address.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In GNU/Linux, MAC addresses are usually written as a series of 6 hex
|
||
numbers separated by colons.</para>

<para>Because Shorewall uses colons as a separator for address fields,

Shorewall requires MAC addresses to be written in another way. In

Shorewall, MAC addresses begin with a tilde (<quote>~</quote>) and consist
|

of 6 hex numbers separated by hyphens. In Shorewall, the MAC address in

by the rate of 10) before a message will be logged from the rule,

regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 6 seconds which

30 seconds, the burst will be fully recharged; back where we

<para>Shorewall allows you to <firstterm>save</firstterm> the

currently-running configuration in a form that permits it to be
|
||
re-installed quickly. When you save the configuration using the
|
||
<command>shorewall save</command> command, the running configuration is
|
||
saved in a file in the <filename
|
||
class="directory">/var/lib/shorewall</filename> directory. The default
|
||
name of that file is <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> but
|
||
you can specify a different name as part of the command. For example, the
|
||
command <command>shorewall save standard</command> will save the running
|
||
configuration in <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard</filename>. A saved
|
||
configuration is re-installed using the <command>shorewall
|
||
restore</command> command. Again, that command normally will restore the
|
||
configuration saved in <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> but
|
||
as with the <command>save</command> command, you can specify a different

||
file name in the command. For example, <command>shorewall restore
|
||
standard</command> will re-install the configuration saved in
|
||
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard</filename>. By permitting you to

save different configurations under different names, Shorewall provides a
|
||
means for quickly switching between these different saved

configurations.</para>
|

<para>As mentioned above, the default configuration is called 'restore'
