<para>In Shorewall , ICMP echo-requests are treated just like any other
|
|
connection request.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In order to accept ping requests from zone z1 to zone z2 where the
|
|
policy for z1 to z2 is not ACCEPT, you need a rule in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> of the form:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT
|
|
Ping(ACCEPT) z1 z2</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<example id="Example1">
|
|
<title>Ping from local zone to firewall</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>To permit ping from the local zone to the firewall:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT
|
|
Ping(ACCEPT) loc $FW</programlisting>
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you would like to accept <quote>ping</quote> by default even when
|
|
the relevant policy is DROP or REJECT, copy
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/action.Drop</filename> or
|
|
<filename>/usr/share shorewall/action.Reject</filename> respectively to
|
|
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> and simply add this
|
|
line to the copy:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>Ping(ACCEPT)</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>With that rule in place, if you want to ignore <quote>ping</quote>
|
|
from z1 to z2 then you need a rule of the form:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT
|
|
Ping(DROP) z1 z2</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<example id="Example2">
|
|
<title>Silently drop pings from the Internet</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>To drop ping from the Internet, you would need this rule in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>:</para>

<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DPORT
|
|
Ping(DROP) net $FW</programlisting>

</example>

<para>Note that the above rule may be used without changing the action

files to prevent your log from being flooded by messages generated from

remote pinging.</para>
