<title>Introduction</title>
<para>This guide is intended for users who are setting up Shorewall in an
environment where a set of public IP addresses must be managed or who want
to know more about Shorewall than is contained in the <ulink
url="shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm">single-address guides</ulink>.
Because the range of possible applications is so broad, the Guide will
give you general guidelines and will point you to other resources as
necessary.</para>
<caution>
<para>If you run LEAF Bering, your Shorewall configuration is NOT what I
release -- I suggest that you consider installing a stock Shorewall lrp
from the shorewall.net site before you proceed. Shorewall requires that
the iproute/iproute2 package be installed (on RedHat, the package is
called iproute). You can tell if this package is installed by the
presence of an <emphasis role="bold">ip</emphasis> program on your
firewall system. As root, you can use the <quote>which</quote> command
to check for this program:</para>
<programlisting>[root@gateway root]# which ip
/sbin/ip
[root@gateway root]#
</programlisting>
<para>I recommend that you first read through the guide to familiarize
yourself with what&#39;s involved then go back through it again making
your configuration changes. Points at which configuration changes are
recommended are flagged with <inlinegraphic
fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" />.</para>
</caution>
<caution>
<para>If you edit your configuration files on a Windows system, you must
save them as Unix files if your editor supports that option or you must
run them through dos2unix before trying to use them with Shorewall.
Similarly, if you copy a configuration file from your Windows hard drive
to a floppy disk, you must run dos2unix against the copy before using it
with Shorewall.</para>

<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>The configuration files for Shorewall are contained in the directory
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> -- for most setups,
you will only need to deal with a few of these as described in this guide.
Skeleton files are created during the Shorewall <ulink url="Install.htm">Installation
Process</ulink>.</para>
<para>As each file is introduced, I suggest that you look through the
actual file on your system -- each file contains detailed configuration
instructions and some contain default entries.</para>
<para>Shorewall views the network where it is running as being composed of
a set of zones. In the default installation, the following zone names are
used:</para>
<table>
<title>Zones</title>
<tgroup cols="2">

</table>
<para>Zones are defined in the file <filename><ulink
url="Documentation.htm#Zones"><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename></ulink></filename>.</para>
<para>Shorewall also recognizes the firewall system as its own zone - by
default, the firewall itself is known as <emphasis role="bold">fw</emphasis>
but that may be changed in the <ulink url="Documentation.htm#Config"><filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename></ulink>
file. In this guide, the default name (<emphasis role="bold">fw</emphasis>)
will be used. With the exception of <emphasis role="bold">fw</emphasis>,
Shorewall attaches absolutely no meaning to zone names. Zones are entirely
what YOU make of them. That means that you should not expect Shorewall to
do something special <quote>because this is the internet zone</quote> or
<quote>because that is the DMZ</quote>.</para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>Edit the /etc/shorewall/zones file and make any changes necessary.</para>
<para>Rules about what traffic to allow and what traffic to deny are

</itemizedlist>
<para>Shorewall is built on top of the <ulink
url="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</ulink> kernel facility.
Netfilter implements a <ulink
url="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jns/security/iptables/iptables_conntrack.html">connection
tracking function</ulink> that allows what is often referred to as
stateful inspection of packets. This stateful property allows firewall
rules to be defined in terms of connections rather than in terms of
packets. With Shorewall, you:</para>

<para>Identify the source zone.</para>

<para>Identify destination zone.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If the POLICY from the client&#39;s zone to the server&#39;s
zone is what you want for this client/server pair, you need do nothing
further.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If the POLICY is not what you want, then you must add a rule.
That rule is expressed in terms of the client&#39;s zone and the
server&#39;s zone.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Just because connections of a particular type are allowed from zone
A to the firewall and are also allowed from the firewall to zone B
<emphasis role="bold">DOES NOT mean that these connections are allowed
from zone A to zone B</emphasis>. It rather means that you can have a
proxy running on the firewall that accepts a connection from zone A and
then establishes its own separate connection from the firewall to zone B.</para>
<para>For each connection request entering the firewall, the request is
first checked against the <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> file.
If no rule in that file matches the connection request then the first
policy in <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> that matches the
request is applied. If that policy is REJECT or DROP the request is first
checked against the rules in <filename>/etc/shorewall/common.def</filename>.</para>
<para>The default <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> file has the
following policies:</para>
<programlisting>#SOURCE ZONE DESTINATION ZONE POLICY LOG LIMIT:BURST
# LEVEL
fw net ACCEPT
net all DROP info
all all REJECT info</programlisting>
<para>The above policy will:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>allow all connection requests from your local network to the
internet</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>drop (ignore) all connection requests from the internet to your
firewall or local network and log a message at the info level (here is
a description of log levels).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>reject all other connection requests and log a message at the
info level. When a request is rejected, the firewall will return an
RST (if the protocol is TCP) or an ICMP port-unreachable packet for
other protocols.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>At this point, edit your <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy </filename>and

<section id="Interfaces">
<title>Network Interfaces</title>
<para>For the remainder of this guide, we&#39;ll refer to the following
diagram. While it may not look like your own network, it can be used to
illustrate the important aspects of Shorewall configuration.</para>
<para>In this diagram:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The DMZ Zone consists of systems DMZ 1 and DMZ 2. A DMZ is used
to isolate your internet-accessible servers from your local systems so
that if one of those servers is compromised, you still have the
firewall between the compromised system and your local systems.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The Local Zone consists of systems Local 1, Local 2 and Local 3.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>All systems from the ISP outward comprise the Internet Zone.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<graphic align="center" fileref="images/dmz3.png" />
<para>The simplest way to define zones is to simply associate the zone
name (previously defined in /etc/shorewall/zones) with a network
interface. This is done in the <ulink url="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</ulink>
file. The firewall illustrated above has three network interfaces. Where
Internet connectivity is through a cable or DSL <quote>Modem</quote>, the
<emphasis>External Interface</emphasis> will be the Ethernet adapter that
is connected to that <quote>Modem</quote> (e.g., <filename
class="devicefile">eth0</filename>) unless you connect via Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) or Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
in which case the External Interface will be a ppp interface (e.g.,
<filename class="devicefile">ppp0</filename>). If you connect via a
regular modem, your External Interface will also be <filename
class="devicefile">ppp0</filename>. If you connect using ISDN, you
external interface will be <filename class="devicefile">ippp0</filename>.</para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>If your external interface is <filename class="devicefile">ppp0</filename>
or <filename class="devicefile">ippp0</filename> then you will want to set
CLAMPMSS=yes in <filename><ulink url="Documentation.htm#Config">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</ulink></filename>.</para>
<para>Your <emphasis>Local Interface</emphasis> will be an Ethernet
adapter (<filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename>,
<filename>eth1</filename> or <filename class="devicefile">eth2</filename>)
and will be connected to a hub or switch. Your local computers will be
connected to the same switch (note: If you have only a single local
system, you can connect the firewall directly to the computer using a
cross-over cable).</para>
<para>Your <emphasis>DMZ Interface</emphasis> will also be an Ethernet
adapter (<filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename>, <filename
class="devicefile">eth1</filename> or <filename class="devicefile">eth2</filename>)
and will be connected to a hub or switch. Your DMZ computers will be
connected to the same switch (note: If you have only a single DMZ system,
you can connect the firewall directly to the computer using a cross-over
cable).</para>
<caution>
<para>Do not connect the internal and external interface to the same hub
or switch except for testing AND you are running Shorewall version 1.4.7
or later. When using these recent versions, you can test using this kind
of configuration if you specify the <emphasis role="bold">arp_filter</emphasis>
option in <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> for all
interfaces connected to the common hub/switch. Using such a setup with a
production firewall is strongly recommended against.</para>
</caution>
<para>For the remainder of this Guide, we will assume that:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The External Interface is <filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The Local Interface <filename class="devicefile">eth1</filename>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The DMZ Interface <filename class="devicefile">eth2</filename>.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The Shorewall default configuration does not define the contents of
any zone. To define the above configuration using the <ulink
url="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces </ulink>file,
that file would might contain:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
net eth0 detect rfc1918
loc eth1 detect
dmz eth2 detect</programlisting>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>Edit the <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> file and
define the network interfaces on your firewall and associate each
interface with a zone. If you have a zone that is interfaced through more
than one interface, simply include one entry for each interface and repeat
the zone name as many times as necessary.</para>
<example>
<title>Multiple Interfaces to a Zone</title>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
net eth0 detect rfc1918
loc eth1 detect
loc eth2 detect</programlisting>
</example>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>You may define more complicated zones using the<filename> <ulink
url="Documentation.htm#Hosts">/etc/shorewall/hosts</ulink></filename> file
but in most cases, that isn&#39;t necessary.</para>
</section>
<section id="Addressing">
<title>Addressing, Subnets and Routing</title>
<para>Normally, your ISP will assign you a set of Public IP addresses. You
will configure your firewall&#39;s external interface to use one of those
addresses permanently and you will then have to decide how you are going
to use the rest of your addresses. Before we tackle that question though,
some background is in order.</para>
<para>If you are thoroughly familiar with IP addressing and routing, you
may go to the next section.</para>
<para>The following discussion barely scratches the surface of addressing
and routing. If you are interested in learning more about this subject, I
highly recommend <quote><emphasis>IP Fundamentals: What Everyone Needs to
Know about Addressing &#38; Routing</emphasis></quote>, Thomas A. Maufer,
Prentice-Hall, 1999, ISBN 0-13-975483-0.</para>
<section id="Addresses">
<title>IP Addresses</title>
<para>IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses are 32-bit numbers. The notation
w.x.y.z refers to an address where the high-order byte has value
<quote>w</quote>, the next byte has value <quote>x</quote>, etc. If we
take the address 192.0.2.14 and express it in hexadecimal, we get:</para>
<para><programlisting>C0.00.02.0E</programlisting>or looking at it as a
32-bit integer</para>
<para><programlisting>C000020E</programlisting></para>
</section>
<section id="Subnets">
<title>Subnets</title>
<para>You will still hear the terms <quote>Class A network</quote>,
<quote>Class B network</quote> and <quote>Class C network</quote>. In
the early days of IP, networks only came in three sizes (there were also
Class D networks but they were used differently):</para>
<simplelist>
<member>Class A - netmask 255.0.0.0, size = 2 ** 24</member>
<member>Class B - netmask 255.255.0.0, size = 2 ** 16</member>
<member>Class C - netmask 255.255.255.0, size = 256</member>
</simplelist>
<para>The class of a network was uniquely determined by the value of the
high order byte of its address so you could look at an IP address and
immediately determine the associated netmask. The netmask is a number
that when logically ANDed with an address isolates the network number;
the remainder of the address is the host number. For example, in the
Class C address 192.0.2.14, the network number is hex C00002 and the
host number is hex 0E.</para>
<para>As the internet grew, it became clear that such a gross
partitioning of the 32-bit address space was going to be very limiting
(early on, large corporations and universities were assigned their own
class A network!). After some false starts, the current technique of
subnetting these networks into smaller subnetworks evolved; that
technique is referred to as <emphasis>Classless InterDomain Routing</emphasis>
(CIDR). Today, any system that you are likely to work with will
understand CIDR and Class-based networking is largely a thing of the
past.</para>
<para>A <emphasis>subnetwork</emphasis> (often referred to as a
<emphasis>subnet</emphasis>) is a contiguous set of IP addresses such
that:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The number of addresses in the set is a power of 2; and</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The first address in the set is a multiple of the set size.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The first address in the subnet is reserved and is referred to
as the <emphasis>subnet address</emphasis>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The last address in the subnet is reserved as the subnet&#39;s
<emphasis>broadcast address</emphasis>.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>As you can see by this definition, in each subnet of size n there
are (n - 2) usable addresses (addresses that can be assigned to hosts).
The first and last address in the subnet are used for the subnet address
and subnet broadcast address respectively. Consequently, small
subnetworks are more wasteful of IP addresses than are large ones.</para>
<para>Since n is a power of two, we can easily calculate the
<emphasis>Natural Logarithm</emphasis> (log2) of n. For the more common
subnet sizes, the size and its natural logarithm are given in the
following table:</para>

<para>Notice that the VLSM is written with a slash (<quote>/</quote>) --
you will often hear a subnet of size 64 referred to as a <quote>slash 26</quote>
subnet and one of size 8 referred to as a <quote>slash 29</quote>.</para>
<para>The subnet&#39;s mask (also referred to as its
<emphasis>netmask</emphasis>) is simply a 32-bit number with the first
<quote>VLSM</quote> bits set to one and the remaining bits set to zero.
For example, for a subnet of size 64, the subnet mask has 26 leading one
bits:</para>
<para><programlisting>11111111111111111111111111000000 = FFFFFFC0 = FF.FF.FF.C0 = 255.255.255.192</programlisting>The
subnet mask has the property that if you logically AND the subnet mask
with an address in the subnet, the result is the subnet address. Just as
important, if you logically AND the subnet mask with an address outside
the subnet, the result is NOT the subnet address. As we will see below,
this property of subnet masks is very useful in routing.</para>
<para>For a subnetwork whose address is <emphasis role="bold">a.b.c.d</emphasis>
and whose Variable Length Subnet Mask is <emphasis role="bold">/v</emphasis>,
we denote the subnetwork as <quote><emphasis role="bold">a.b.c.d/v</emphasis></quote>

<para>The device <emphasis>texas</emphasis> is a GRE tunnel to a peer
site in the Dallas, Texas area.</para>
<para>The first three routes are <emphasis>host routes</emphasis> since
they indicate how to get to a single host. In the <quote>netstat</quote>
output this can be seen by the <quote>Genmask</quote> (Subnet Mask) of
255.255.255.255 and the <quote>H</quote> in the Flags column. The
remainder are <emphasis><quote>net</quote> routes</emphasis> since they
tell the kernel how to route packets to a subnetwork. The last route is
the <emphasis>default route </emphasis>and the gateway mentioned in that
route is called the <emphasis>default gateway</emphasis>.</para>
<para>When the kernel is trying to send a packet to IP address <emphasis
role="bold">A</emphasis>, it starts at the top of the routing table and:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">A</emphasis> is logically ANDed with the
<quote>Genmask</quote> value in the table entry.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The result is compared with the <quote>Destination</quote>

<para>If the result and the <quote>Destination</quote> value are the

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>If the <quote>Gateway</quote> column is non-zero, the
packet is sent to the gateway over the interface named in the

<listitem>
<para>Otherwise, the packet is sent directly to <emphasis
role="bold">A</emphasis> over the interface named in the
<quote>iface</quote> column.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Otherwise, the above steps are repeated on the next entry in
the table.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Since the default route matches any IP address (<emphasis
role="bold">A </emphasis>LAND 0.0.0.0 = 0.0.0.0), packets that don&#39;t
match any of the other routing table entries are sent to the default
gateway which is usually a router at your ISP. Lets take an example.
Suppose that we want to route a packet to 192.168.1.5. That address
clearly doesn&#39;t match any of the host routes in the table but if we
logically and that address with 255.255.255.0, the result is 192.168.1.0
which matches this routing table entry:</para>
<para><programlisting>192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth2</programlisting></para>
<para>So to route a packet to 192.168.1.5, the packet is sent directly
over eth2.</para>
<para>One more thing needs to be emphasized -- all outgoing packet are
sent using the routing table and reply packets are not a special case.
There seems to be a common mis-conception whereby people think that
request packets are like salmon and contain a genetic code that is
magically transferred to reply packets so that the replies follow the
reverse route taken by the request. That isn&#39;t the case; the replies
may take a totally different route back to the client than was taken by
the requests -- they are totally independent.</para>

<section>
<title id="ARP">Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)</title>
<para>When sending packets over Ethernet, IP addresses aren&#39;t used.
Rather Ethernet addressing is based on <emphasis>Media Access Control</emphasis>
(MAC) addresses. Each Ethernet device has it&#39;s own unique MAC
address which is burned into a PROM on the device during manufacture.
You can obtain the MAC of an Ethernet device using the <quote>ip</quote>
utility:</para>
<programlisting>[root@gateway root]# <command>ip addr show eth0</command>
2: eth0: &#60;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP&#62; mtu 1500 qdisc htb qlen 100
link/ether 02:00:08:e3:fa:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

inet 206.124.146.179/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global secondary eth0
[root@gateway root]#
</programlisting>
<para>As you can see from the above output, the MAC is 6 bytes (48 bits)
wide. A card&#39;s MAC is usually also printed on a label attached to
the card itself. Because IP uses IP addresses and Ethernet uses MAC
addresses, a mechanism is required to translate an IP address into a MAC
address; that is the purpose of the <emphasis>Address Resolution
Protocol </emphasis>(ARP). Here is ARP in action:</para>
<programlisting>[root@gateway root]# <command>tcpdump -nei eth2 arp</command>
tcpdump: listening on eth2

<para>In this exchange, 192.168.1.254 (MAC 2:0:8:e3:4c:48) wants to know
the MAC of the device with IP address 192.168.1.19. The system having
that IP address is responding that the MAC address of the device with IP
address 192.168.1.19 is 0:6:25:aa:8a:f0.</para>
<para>In order to avoid having to exchange ARP information each time
that an IP packet is to be sent, systems maintain an
<emphasis>ARP cache</emphasis> of IP&#60;-&#62;MAC correspondences. You
can see the ARP cache on your system (including your Windows system)
using the <quote>arp</quote> command:</para>
<programlisting>[root@gateway root]# <command>arp -na</command>

</programlisting>
<para>The leading question marks are a result of my having specified the
<quote>n</quote> option (Windows <quote>arp</quote> doesn&#39;t allow
that option) which causes the <quote>arp</quote> program to forego
IP-&#62;DNS name translation. Had I not given that option, the question
marks would have been replaced with the FQDN corresponding to each IP
address. Notice that the last entry in the table records the information
we saw using tcpdump above.</para>
</section>
<section id="RFC1918">
<title>RFC 1918</title>
<para>IP addresses are allocated by the <ulink
url="http://www.iana.org/">Internet Assigned Number Authority</ulink>
(IANA) who delegates allocations on a geographic basis to Regional
Internet Registries (RIRs). For example, allocation for the Americas and
for sub-Sahara Africa is delegated to the <ulink
url="http://www.arin.net/">American Registry for Internet Numbers</ulink>
(ARIN). These RIRs may in turn delegate to national registries. Most of
us don&#39;t deal with these registrars but rather get our IP addresses
from our ISP. It&#39;s a fact of life that most of us can&#39;t afford
as many Public IP addresses as we have devices to assign them to so we
end up making use of Private IP addresses. RFC 1918 reserves several IP
address ranges for this purpose:</para>
<programlisting>10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255</programlisting>
<para>The addresses reserved by RFC 1918 are sometimes referred to as
non-routable because the Internet backbone routers don&#39;t forward
packets which have an RFC-1918 destination address. This is
understandable given that anyone can select any of these addresses for
their private use.</para>
<para>When selecting addresses from these ranges, there&#39;s a couple
of things to keep in mind:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>As the IPv4 address space becomes depleted, more and more
organizations (including ISPs) are beginning to use RFC 1918
addresses in their infrastructure.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You don&#39;t want to use addresses that are being used by
your ISP or by another organization with whom you want to establish
a VPN relationship.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>So it&#39;s a good idea to check with your ISP to see if they are
using (or are planning to use) private addresses before you decide the
addresses that you are going to use.</para>
<note>
<para><emphasis role="bold">In this document, external <quote>real</quote>
IP addresses are of the form 192.0.2.x. 192.0.2.0/24 is reserved by
RFC 3330 for use as public IP addresses in printed examples. These
addresses are not to be confused with addresses in 192.168.0.0/16; as
described above, these addresses are reserved by RFC 1918 for private
use.</emphasis></para>

<section id="Options">
<title>Setting Up Your Network</title>
<para>The choice of how to set up your network depends primarily on how
many Public IP addresses you have vs. how many addressable entities you
have in your network. Regardless of how many addresses you have, your ISP
will handle that set of addresses in one of two ways:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Routed</emphasis> - Traffic to any of your
addresses will be routed through a single gateway address. This will
generally only be done if your ISP has assigned you a complete subnet
(/29 or larger). In this case, you will assign the gateway address as
the IP address of your firewall/router&#39;s external interface.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Non-routed</emphasis> - Your ISP will send
traffic to each of your addresses directly.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>In the subsections that follow, we&#39;ll look at each of these
separately.</para>
<para>Before we begin, there is one thing for you to check:</para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>If you are using the Debian package, please check your
shorewall.conf file to ensure that the following are set correctly; if
they are not, change them appropriately:</para>

<para>IP_FORWARDING=On</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<section id="Routed">
<title>Routed</title>
<para>Let&#39;s assume that your ISP has assigned you the subnet
192.0.2.64/28 routed through 192.0.2.65. That means that you have IP
addresses 192.0.2.64 - 192.0.2.79 and that your firewall&#39;s external
IP address is 192.0.2.65. Your ISP has also told you that you should use
a netmask of 255.255.255.0 (so your /28 is part of a larger /24). With
this many IP addresses, you are able to subnet your /28 into two
/29&#39;s and set up your network as shown in the following diagram.</para>
<graphic align="center" fileref="images/dmz4.png" />
<para>Here, the DMZ comprises the subnet 192.0.2.64/29 and the Local
network is 192.0.2.72/29. The default gateway for hosts in the DMZ would
be configured to 192.0.2.66 and the default gateway for hosts in the
local network would be 192.0.2.73.</para>
<para>Notice that this arrangement is rather wasteful of public IP
addresses since it is using 192.0.2.64 and 192.0.2.72 for subnet
addresses, 192.0.2.71 and 192.0.2.79 for subnet broadcast addresses and
192.0.2.66 and 168.0.2.73 for internal addresses on the firewall/router.
Nevertheless, it shows how subnetting can work and if we were dealing
with a /24 rather than a /28 network, the use of 6 IP addresses out of
256 would be justified because of the simplicity of the setup.</para>
<para>The astute reader may have noticed that the Firewall/Router&#39;s
external interface is actually part of the DMZ subnet (192.0.2.64/29).
What if DMZ 1 (192.0.2.67) tries to communicate with 192.0.2.65? The
routing table on DMZ 1 will look like this:</para>
<programlisting format="linespecific">Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.0.2.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 40 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.0.2.66 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0</programlisting>
<para>This means that DMZ 1 will send an ARP <quote>who-has 192.0.2.65</quote>
request and no device on the DMZ Ethernet segment has that IP address.
Oddly enough, the firewall will respond to the request with the MAC
address of its <emphasis role="underline">DMZ Interface</emphasis>!! DMZ
1 can then send Ethernet frames addressed to that MAC address and the
frames will be received (correctly) by the firewall/router.</para>
<para>It is this rather unexpected ARP behavior on the part of the Linux
Kernel that prompts the warning earlier in this guide regarding the
connecting of multiple firewall/router interfaces to the same hub or
switch. When an ARP request for one of the firewall/router&#39;s IP
addresses is sent by another system connected to the hub/switch, all of
the firewall&#39;s interfaces that connect to the hub/switch can
respond! It is then a race as to which <quote>here-is</quote> response
reaches the sender first.</para>
</section>
<section id="NonRouted">
<title>Non-routed</title>
<para>If you have the above situation but it is non-routed, you can
configure your network exactly as described above with one additional
twist; simply specify the <quote>proxyarp</quote> option on all three
firewall interfaces in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file.</para>
<para>Most of us don&#39;t have the luxury of having enough public IP
addresses to set up our networks as shown in the preceding example (even
if the setup is routed).</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">For the remainder of this section, assume
that your ISP has assigned you IP addresses 192.0.2.176-180 and has told
you to use netmask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.0.2.254.</emphasis></para>
<para>Clearly, that set of addresses doesn&#39;t comprise a subnetwork
and there aren&#39;t enough addresses for all of the network interfaces.
There are four different techniques that can be used to work around this
problem.</para>

</itemizedlist>
<para>Often a combination of these techniques is used. Each of these
will be discussed in the sections that follow.</para>
<section id="SNAT">
<title>SNAT</title>
<para>With SNAT, an internal LAN segment is configured using RFC 1918
addresses. When a host <emphasis role="bold">A</emphasis> on this
internal segment initiates a connection to host <emphasis role="bold">B</emphasis>
on the internet, the firewall/router rewrites the IP header in the
request to use one of your public IP addresses as the source address.
When <emphasis role="bold">B</emphasis> responds and the response is
received by the firewall, the firewall changes the destination address
back to the RFC 1918 address of <emphasis role="bold">A</emphasis> and
forwards the response back to <emphasis role="bold">A.</emphasis></para>
<para>Let&#39;s suppose that you decide to use SNAT on your local zone

external IP address and the source IP address of internet requests
sent from that zone.</para>

<para>This example used the normal technique of assigning the same
public IP address for the firewall external interface and for SNAT. If
you wanted to use a different IP address, you would either have to use
your distributions network configuration tools to add that IP address
to the external interface or you could set ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and Shorewall will add the address for
you.</para>
</section>
<section id="dnat">
<title>DNAT</title>
<para>When SNAT is used, it is impossible for hosts on the internet to
initiate a connection to one of the internal systems since those
systems do not have a public IP address. DNAT provides a way to allow
selected connections from the internet.</para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>

<para>If one of your daughter&#39;s friends at address <emphasis
role="bold">A</emphasis> wants to access your daughter&#39;s server,
she can connect to http://192.0.2.176 (the firewall&#39;s external IP
address) and the firewall will rewrite the destination IP address to
192.168.201.4 (your daughter&#39;s system) and forward the request.
When your daughter&#39;s server responds, the firewall will rewrite
the source address back to 192.0.2.176 and send the response back to

<para>This example used the firewall&#39;s external IP address for
DNAT. You can use another of your public IP addresses but Shorewall
will not add that address to the firewall&#39;s external interface for
you.</para>

<section id="ProxyARP">

<para>Because the HAVE ROUTE column contains No, Shorewall will add
host routes thru eth2 to 192.0.2.177 and 192.0.2.178. The ethernet
interfaces on DMZ 1 and DMZ 2 should be configured to have the IP
addresses shown but should have the same default gateway as the
firewall itself -- namely 192.0.2.254. In other words, they should be
configured just like they would be if they were parallel to the
firewall rather than behind it.</para>

</caution>
<para>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:</para>

switch a host from being exposed to the Internet to behind
Shorewall using proxy ARP (or one-to-one NAT for that matter).

include <quote>arping</quote>, whose <quote>-U</quote> flag does
just that:</para>

<para>You can call your ISP and ask them to purge the stale ARP

<para>You can determine if your ISP&#39;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 192.0.2.177. On the firewall,
run tcpdump as follows:</para>
<para><programlisting><command>tcpdump -nei eth0 icmp</command></programlisting></para>
<para>Now from 192.0.2.177, ping the ISP&#39;s gateway (which we will
assume is 192.0.2.254):</para>
<para><programlisting><command>ping 192.0.2.254</command></programlisting></para>
<para>We can now observe the tcpdump output:</para>

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&#39;s eth0 NIC while
0:c0:a8:50:b2:57 was the MAC address of DMZ 1. In other words, the
gateway&#39;s ARP cache still associates 192.0.2.177 with the NIC in
DMZ 1 rather than with the firewall&#39;s eth0.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title id="NAT">One-to-one NAT</title>
<para>With one-to-one NAT, you assign local systems RFC 1918 addresses
then establish a one-to-one mapping between those addresses and public
IP addresses. For outgoing connections SNAT (Source Network Address
Translation) occurs and on incoming connections DNAT (Destination
Network Address Translation) occurs. Let&#39;s go back to our earlier
example involving your daughter&#39;s web server running on system
Local 3.</para>
<graphic align="center" fileref="images/dmz6.png" />
<para>Recall that in this setup, the local network is using SNAT and
is sharing the firewall external IP (192.0.2.176) for outbound
connections. This is done with the following entry in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS
eth0 192.168.201.0/29 192.0.2.176</programlisting>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>Suppose now that you have decided to give your daughter her own
IP address (192.0.2.179) for both inbound and outbound connections.
You would do that by adding an entry in <filename><ulink url="NAT.htm">/etc/shorewall/nat</ulink></filename>.</para>
<programlisting>#EXTERNAL INTERFACE INTERNAL ALL INTERFACES LOCAL
192.0.2.179 eth0 192.168.201.4 No No</programlisting>
<para>With this entry in place, you daughter has her own IP address
and the other two local systems share the firewall&#39;s IP address.</para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>Once the relationship between 192.0.2.179 and 192.168.201.4 is
established by the nat file entry above, it is no longer appropriate
to use a DNAT rule for you daughter&#39;s web server -- you would
rather just use an ACCEPT rule:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL
# PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST
ACCEPT net loc:192.168.201.4 tcp www</programlisting>
<para>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 one-to-one NAT,
it will probably be HOURS before that system can communicate with the
internet. There are a couple of things that you can try:</para>

<para>With the default policies, your local systems (Local 1-3) can
access any servers on the internet and the DMZ can&#39;t access any
other host (including the firewall). With the exception of DNAT rules
which cause address translation and allow the translated connection
request to pass through the firewall, the way to allow connection
requests through your firewall is to use ACCEPT rules.</para>

<para>Given the collection of RFC 1918 and public addresses in this setup,
it only makes sense to have separate internal and external DNS servers.
You can combine the two into a single BIND 9 server using Views. If you
are not interested in Bind 9 views, you can go to the next section.</para>
<para>Suppose that your domain is foobar.net and you want the two DMZ
systems named www.foobar.net and mail.foobar.net and you want the three
local systems named &#34;winken.foobar.net, blinken.foobar.net and
nod.foobar.net. You want your firewall to be known as firewall.foobar.net
externally and it&#39;s interface to the local network to be know as
gateway.foobar.net and its interface to the dmz as dmz.foobar.net.
Let&#39;s have the DNS server on 192.0.2.177 which will also be known by
the name ns1.foobar.net.</para>

<title>Starting and Stopping the Firewall</title>
<para>The <ulink url="Install.htm">Installation procedure</ulink>
configures your system to start Shorewall at system boot.</para>
<para>The firewall is started using the <quote>shorewall start</quote>
command and stopped using <quote>shorewall stop</quote>. When the firewall
is stopped, routing is enabled on those hosts that have an entry in
<filename><ulink url="Documentation.htm#Routestopped">/etc/shorewall/routestopped</ulink></filename>.
A running firewall may be restarted using the <quote>shorewall restart</quote>
command. If you want to totally remove any trace of Shorewall from your
Netfilter configuration, use <quote>shorewall clear</quote>.</para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" /></para>
<para>Edit the <filename><ulink url="Documentation.htm#Routestopped">/etc/shorewall/routestopped</ulink></filename>
file and configure those systems that you want to be able to access the
firewall when it is stopped.</para>
<caution>
<para>If you are connected to your firewall from the internet, do not
issue a <quote>shorewall stop</quote> command unless you have added an
entry for the IP address that you are connected from to
<filename><ulink url="Documentation.htm#Routestopped">/etc/shorewall/routestopped</ulink></filename>.
Also, I don&#39;t recommend using <quote>shorewall restart</quote>; it
is better to create an <ulink url="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm"><emphasis>an
alternate configuration</emphasis></ulink>&#x00A0; and test it using the
<quote><ulink url="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm"><command>shorewall
try</command></ulink></quote> command.</para>
