Shorewall 'Ping' management has evolved over time with the latest
|
|
change coming in Shorewall version 1.4.0. To find out which version of
|
|
Shorewall you are running, at a shell prompt type "<font color="#009900"><b>/sbin/shorewall
|
|
version</b></font>". If that command gives you an error, it's time to upgrade
|
|
since you have a very old version of Shorewall installed (1.2.4 or earlier).<br>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Shorewall Versions >= 1.4.0</h2>
|
|
In Shoreall 1.4.0 and later version, ICMP echo-request's are treated just
|
|
like any other connection request.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
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 /etc/shoreall/rules of the
|
|
form:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>ACCEPT <i>z1 z2
|
|
</i>icmp 8<br>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Example: <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
To permit ping from the local zone to the firewall:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>ACCEPT loc fw
|
|
icmp 8<br>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
If you would like to accept 'ping' by default even when the relevant
|
|
policy is DROP or REJECT, create <b>/etc/shorewall/icmpdef </b>if it doesn't
|
|
already exist and in that file place the following command:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre><b><font color="#009900">run_iptables -A icmpdef -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT<br></font></b></pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
With that rule in place, if you want to ignore 'ping' from z1 to z2
|
|
then you need a rule of the form:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>DROP <i>z1 z2
|
|
</i>icmp 8<br>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Example:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
To drop ping from the internet, you would need this rule in /etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>DROP net fw
|
|
icmp 8<br>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Shorewall Versions >= 1.3.14 and < 1.4.0 with OLD_PING_HANDLING=No
|
|
in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</h2>
|
|
In 1.3.14, Ping handling was put under control of the rules and policies
|
|
just like any other connection request. 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 /etc/shoreall/rules of the form:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>ACCEPT <i>z1 z2
|
|
</i>icmp 8<br>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Example: <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
To permit ping from the local zone to the firewall:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>ACCEPT loc fw
|
|
icmp 8<br>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
If you would like to accept 'ping' by default even when the relevant
|
|
policy is DROP or REJECT, create <b>/etc/shorewall/icmpdef </b>if it doesn't
|
|
already exist and in that file place the following command:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre><b><font color="#009900">run_iptables -A icmpdef -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT<br></font></b></pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
With that rule in place, if you want to ignore 'ping' from z1 to z2
|
|
then you need a rule of the form:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>DROP <i>z1 z2
|
|
</i>icmp 8<br>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Example:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
To drop ping from the internet, you would need this rule in /etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>DROP net fw
|
|
icmp 8<br>

<h2>Shorewall Versions < 1.3.14 or with OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
There are several aspects to the old Shorewall Ping management:<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The <b>noping</b> and <b>filterping </b>interface options in
|
|
<a href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>The <b>FORWARDPING</b> option in<a
|
|
href="Documentation.htm#Conf"> /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>Explicit rules in <a href="Documentation.htm#Rules">/etc/shorewall/rules</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
There are two cases to consider:<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Ping requests addressed to the firewall itself; and</li>
|
|
<li>Ping requests being forwarded to another system. Included here
|
|
are all cases of packet forwarding including NAT, DNAT rule, Proxy ARP
|
|
and simple routing.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
These cases will be covered separately.<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Ping Requests Addressed to the Firewall Itself</h3>
|
|
For ping requests addressed to the firewall, the sequence is as follows:<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>If neither <b>noping</b> nor <b>filterping </b>are specified
|
|
for the interface that receives the ping request then the request will
|
|
be responded to with an ICMP echo-reply.</li>
|
|
<li>If <b>noping</b> is specified for the interface that receives
|
|
the ping request then the request is ignored.</li>
|
|
<li>If <b>filterping </b>is specified for the interface then the
|
|
request is passed to the rules/policy evaluation.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Ping Requests Forwarded by the Firewall</h3>
|
|
These requests are <b>always</b> passed to rules/policy evaluation.<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Rules Evaluation</h3>
|
|
Ping requests are ICMP type 8. So the general rule format is:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<i>Target Source
|
|
Destination </i>icmp 8<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Example 1. Accept pings from the net to the dmz (pings are responded
|
|
to with an ICMP echo-reply):<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
ACCEPT net
|
|
dmz icmp 8<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Example 2. Drop pings from the net to the firewall<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
DROP net fw
|
|
icmp 8<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Policy Evaluation</h3>
|
|
If no applicable rule is found, then the policy for the source to
|
|
the destination is applied.<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>If the relevant policy is ACCEPT then the request is responded
|
|
to with an ICMP echo-reply.</li>
|
|
<li>If <b>FORWARDPING</b> is set to Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
|
|
then the request is responded to with an ICMP echo-reply.</li>
|
|
<li>Otherwise, the relevant REJECT or DROP policy is used and the
|
|
request is either rejected or simply ignored.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
