<para>Reading just Shorewall documentation is probably not going to give
you enough background to use this material. Shorewall may make iptables
easy but the Shorewall team doesn't have the resources to be able to
spoon-feed Linux policy routing to you (please remember that the user's
manual for a tractor doesn't teach you to grow corn either). You will
likely need to refer to the following additional information:</para>

<section id="Overview">
<title>Overview</title>
<para>Let's assume that a firewall is connected via two separate
Ethernet interfaces to two different ISPs.<footnote>
<para>While we describe a setup using different ISPs in this
article, the facility also works with two uplinks from the same
ISP.</para>
</footnote> as in the following diagram.</para>
<graphic align="center" fileref="images/TwoISPs.png" valign="middle"/>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>eth0 connects to ISP1. The IP address of eth0 is
206.124.146.176 and the ISP's gateway router has IP address
206.124.146.254.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>eth1 connects to ISP 2. The IP address of eth1 is

130.252.99.254.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>eth2 connects to the local LAN. Its IP configuration is not
relevant to this discussion.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Each of these <firstterm>providers</firstterm> is described in an
entry in the file <filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename>.</para>
<para>Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> can
specify that outgoing connections are to be load-balanced between the
two ISPs. Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename> and
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rtrules</filename> can be used to direct
particular outgoing connections to one ISP or the other. Use of
<filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename> (or
<filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename>) is not required for
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> to work, but in most
cases, you must select a unique MARK value for each provider so
Shorewall can set up the correct marking rules for you.</para>
<important>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename> superseded
<filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> in Shorewall 4.6.0.</para>
</important>
<para>When you use the <emphasis role="bold">track</emphasis> option in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename>, connections from the
Internet are automatically routed back out of the correct interface and
through the correct ISP gateway. This works whether the connection is
handled by the firewall itself or if it is routed or port-forwarded to a
system behind the firewall.</para>
<para>Shorewall will set up the routing and will update the
<filename>/etc/iproute2/rt_tables</filename> to include the table names
and numbers of the tables that it adds.</para>
<caution>
<para>This feature uses <ulink url="traffic_shaping.htm">packet
marking</ulink> to control the routing. As a consequence, there are
some restrictions concerning entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename>:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Packet marking for traffic control purposes may not be done
in the PREROUTING table for connections involving providers with
'track' specified (see below).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You may not use the SAVE or RESTORE options unless you also
set HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes (PROVIDER_OFFSET &gt; 0 with Shorewall
4.4.26 and later) in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>.</para>
<note>
<para>In Shorewall 4.4.26, the HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS and
WIDE_TC_MARKS options in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> were replaced
by the PROVIDER_OFFSET and TC_BITS options. Look <ulink

<section>
<title>USE_DEFAULT_RT</title>
<para>The behavior and configuration of Multiple ISP support is
dependent on the setting of USE_DEFAULT_RT in shorewall[6].conf.</para>
<para>When USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes, packets are first routed through the main
routing table <emphasis>which does not contain a default
route</emphasis>. Packets which fail to be routed by an entry in the
main table are then passed to shorewall-defined routing tables based on
your Multi-ISP configuration. The advantage of this approach is that
dynamic changes to the ip configuration, such as VPNs going up and down,
do not require notificaiton of Shorewall. USE_DEFAULT_RT is now the
default and use of USE_DEFAULT_RT=No is deprecated.</para>
<para>When USE_DEFAULT_RT=No, packets are routed via Shorewall-generated
routing tables. As a consequence, the main routing table must be copied
into each of those tables and must be recopied when there is a change to
the main table. This can only be accomplished via a
<command>shorewall[6] reload</command> or <command>restart</command>
command.</para>
</section>
<section id="providers">
<title>/etc/shorewall/providers File</title>
<para>Entries in this file have the following columns. As in all
Shorewall configuration files, enter "-" in a column if you don't want
to enter any value.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>NAME</term>
<listitem>
<para>The provider name. Must begin with a letter and consist of
letters and digits. The provider name becomes the name of the
generated routing table for this provider.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>NUMBER</term>
<listitem>
<para>A number between 1 and 252. This becomes the routing table
number for the generated table for this provider.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>MARK</term>
<listitem>
<para>A mark value used in your<filename> /etc/shorewall/mangle
</filename>file to direct packets to this provider. Shorewall will
also mark connections that have seen input from this provider with
this value and will restore the packet mark in the PREROUTING
CHAIN. Mark values must be in the range 1-255.</para>
<para>Alternatively, you may set HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes
(PROVIDER_OFFSET &gt; 0 with Shorewall 4.4.26 and later) in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>. This allows
you to:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Use connection marks for traffic shaping, provided that
you assign those marks in the FORWARD chain.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Use mark values &gt; 255 for provider marks in this
column.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>With HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes (PROVIDER_OFFSET=8), these
mark values must be a multiple of 256 in the range
256-65280 (hex equivalent 0x100 - 0xFF00 with the
low-order 8 bits being zero); or</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Set WIDE_TC_MARKS=Yes in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf
</ulink>(5) (PROVIDER_OFFSET=16), and use mark values in
the range 0x10000 - 0xFF0000 with the low-order 16 bits
being zero.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>This column may be omitted if you don´t use packet marking
to direct connections to a particular provider.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>DUPLICATE</term>
<listitem>
<para>Gives the name or number of a routing table to duplicate.
May be 'main' or the name or number of a previously declared
provider. This field should be be specified as '-' when
USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes in <filename>shorewall.conf. When
USE_DEFAULT_RT=No (not recommended), this column is normally
specified as <option>main</option>.</filename></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>INTERFACE</term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of the interface to the provider. Where multiple
providers share the same interface, you must follow the name of
the interface by a colon (":") and the IP address assigned by this
provider (e.g., eth0:206.124.146.176). See <link
linkend="Shared">below</link> for additional
considerations.</para>
<para>The interface must have been previously defined in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>
(5). In general, that interface should not have the
<option>proxyarp</option> option specified unless
<option>loose</option> is given in the OPTIONS column of this
entry.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>GATEWAY</term>
<listitem>
<para>The IP address of the provider's Gateway router.</para>
<para>You can enter <emphasis role="bold">detect</emphasis> here
and Shorewall will attempt to automatically determine the gateway
IP address.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Hint:</emphasis> <emphasis
role="bold">"detect"</emphasis> is appropriate for use in cases
where the interface named in the INTERFACE column is dynamically
configured via DHCP etc. Be sure, however, that you don't have
stale dhcp client state files in <filename
class="directory">/var/lib/dhcpcd </filename>or
<filename>/var/lib/dhclient-*.lease</filename> because Shorewall
may try to use those stale files to determine the gateway
address.</para>
<para>If Shorewall is unable to detect the gateway, it is likely
because you are using a DHCP client that Shorewall doesn't
natively support. You can work around that issue by using the
<emphasis role="bold">findgw</emphasis> <ulink
url="shorewall_extension_scripts.htm">extension
script.</ulink></para>
<para>For example, these examples from Mika Ilmaranta, work with
RHEL7-based systems with nmcli:</para>

nmcli --terse --fields IP4.GATEWAY device show ${1} | cut -f2- -d':' #IPv4
</programlisting>
<para>This one from PGNd works on OpenSuSE running wicked:</para>
<programlisting>svc_status=$( systemctl is-active wickedd-dhcp4.service )

<term>OPTIONS</term>
<listitem>
<para>A comma-separated list from the following:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>track</term>
<listitem>
<para><important>
<para>Beginning with Shorwall 4.3.3, <emphasis
role="bold">track</emphasis> defaults to the setting of
the <option>TRACK_PROVIDERS</option> option in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall.conf">shorewall.conf
</ulink>(5). To disable this option when you have
specified TRACK_PROVIDERS=Yes, you must specify
<emphasis role="bold">notrack</emphasis> (see
below).</para>
</important>If specified, connections FROM this interface
are to be tracked so that responses may be routed back out
this same interface.</para>
<para>You want to specify 'track' if Internet hosts will be
connecting to local servers through this provider. Any time
that you specify 'track', you will normally want to also
specify 'balance' (see below). 'track' will also ensure that
outgoing connections remain stay anchored to a single
provider and don't try to switch providers when route cache
entries expire.</para>
<para>Use of this feature requires that your kernel and
iptables include CONNMARK target and connmark match support
(<emphasis role="bold">Warning</emphasis>: Until recently,
standard <trademark>Debian</trademark> and
<trademark>Ubuntu</trademark> kernels lacked that support.
<emphasis>Both Lenny and Jaunty do have the proper
support</emphasis>).</para>
<important>
<para>If you are running a version of Shorewall earlier
than 4.4.3 and are using
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> because you
have multiple Internet connections, we recommend that you
specify <emphasis role="bold">track</emphasis> even if you
don't need it. It helps maintain long-term connections in
which there are significant periods with no
traffic.</para>
</important>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>balance</term>
<listitem>
<para>The providers that have <emphasis
role="bold">balance</emphasis> specified will get outbound
traffic load-balanced among them. Balancing will not be
perfect, as it is route based, and routes are cached. This
means that routes to often-used sites will always be over
the same provider.</para>
<para>By default, each provider is given the same weight (1)
. You can change the weight of a given provider by following
<emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> with "=" and the
desired weight (e.g., balance=2). The weights reflect the
relative bandwidth of the providers connections and should
be small numbers since the kernel actually creates
additional default routes for each weight increment.</para>
<important>
<para>If you are using
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> because you
have multiple Internet connections, we recommend that you
specify <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> even if
you don't need it. You can still use entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename> and
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rtrules</filename> to force all
traffic to one provider or another.<note>
<para>If you don't heed this advice then please read
and follow the advice in <ulink

<term>loose</term>
<listitem>
<para>Do not generate routing rules that force traffic whose
source IP is an address of the INTERFACE to be routed to
this provider. Useful for defining providers that are to be
used only when the appropriate packet mark is
applied.</para>
<para>Shorewall makes no attempt to consolidate the routing
rules added when <emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis> is
not specified. So, if you have multiple IP addresses on a
provider interface, you may be able to replace the rules
that Shorewall generates with one or two rules in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rtrules</filename>. In that case,
you can specify <emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis> to
suppress Shorewall's rule generation. See the <link

designed to detect interface states that will cause
<command>shorewall start</command> or <command>shorewall

mean that traffic can actually be sent through the

</section>
<section id="Providers">
<title>What an entry in the Providers File Does</title>
<para>Adding another entry in the providers file simply creates an
alternate routing table for you (see the<ulink
url="http://www.lartc.org"> LARTC Howto</ulink>). The table will usually
contain two routes:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>A host route to the specified GATEWAY through the specified
INTERFACE.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A default route through the GATEWAY.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Note that the first route is omitted if "-" is specified as the
GATEWAY; in that case, the default route does not specify a gateway
(point-to-point link).</para>
<para>If the DUPLICATE column is non-empty, then routes from the table
named in that column are copied into the new table. By default, all
routes (except default routes) are copied. The set of routes copied can
be restricted using the COPY column which lists the interfaces whose
routes you want copied. You will generally want to include all local
interfaces in this list. You should exclude the loopback interface (lo)
and any interfaces that do not have an IP configuration. You should also
omit interfaces like <emphasis role="bold">tun</emphasis> interfaces
that are created dynamically. Traffic to networks handled by those
interfaces should be routed through the main table using entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rtrules</filename> (see Example 2 <link
linkend="Examples">below</link>) or by using <link
linkend="USE_DEFAULT_RT">USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes</link> (recommended)</para>
<para>In addition:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Unless <emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis> is specified, an
ip rule is generated for each IP address on the INTERFACE that
routes traffic from that address through the associated routing
table.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you specify <emphasis role="bold">track</emphasis>, then
connections which have had at least one packet arrive on the
interface listed in the INTERFACE column have their connection mark
set to the value in the MARK column. In the PREROUTING chain,
packets with a connection mark have their packet mark set to the
value of the associated connection mark; packets marked in this way
bypass any prerouting rules that you create in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename>. This ensures that
packets associated with connections from outside are always routed
out of the correct interface.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you specify <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis>, then
Shorewall will replace the 'default' route with weight 100 in the
'main' routing table with a load-balancing route among those
gateways where <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> was
specified. So if you configure default routes, be sure that their
weight is less than 100 or the route added by Shorewall will not be
used.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>That's <emphasis role="bold">all</emphasis> that these entries do.
You still have to follow the principle stated in the <ulink
url="Shorewall_and_Routing.html">Shorewall Routing
documentation</ulink>:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Routing determines where packets are to be sent.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Once routing determines where the packet is to go, the
firewall (Shorewall) determines if the packet is allowed to go there
and controls rewriting of the SOURCE IP address
(SNAT/MASQUERADE).</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>The bottom line is that if you want traffic to go out through a
particular provider then you <emphasis>must </emphasis>mark that traffic
with the provider's MARK value in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename> and you must do that marking
in the PREROUTING chain; or, you must provide the appropriate rules in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rtrules</filename>.</para>

<section>
<title>What an entry in the Providers File Does Not Do</title>
<para>Shorewall itself provides no mechanism for dealing with provider

<section id="masq">
<title>./etc/shorewall/masq and Multi-ISP</title>
<para>If you masquerade a local network, you will need to add masquerade
rules for both external interfaces. Referring to the diagram above, if
each of the interfaces has only a single IP address and you have no
systems with public IP addresses behind your firewall, then I suggest
the following simple entries:</para>
<programlisting>#INTERFACE SOURCE ADDRESS
eth0 0.0.0.0/0 206.124.146.176
eth1 0.0.0.0/0 130.252.99.27</programlisting>
<para>If you have a public subnet (for example 206.124.146.176/30)
behind your firewall, then use exclusion:</para>
<programlisting>#INTERFACE SOURCE ADDRESS
eth0 !206.124.146.176/29 206.124.146.176
eth1 0.0.0.0/0 130.252.99.27</programlisting>
<para>Note that exclusion is only used on the interface corresponding to
internal subnetwork.</para>
<para>If you have multiple IP addresses on one of your interfaces, you
can use a similar technique -- simplY exclude the smallest network that
contains all of those addresses from being masqueraded.</para>
<warning>
<para>Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename> have no
effect on which ISP a particular connection will be sent through. That
is rather the purpose of entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename> and
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rtrules</filename>.</para>
</warning>
</section>
<section id="Martians">
<title>Martians</title>
<para>One problem that often arises with Multi-ISP configuration is
'Martians'. If you set ROUTE_FILTER=Yes in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> or if your Internet
interfaces are configured with the <emphasis
role="bold">routefilter</emphasis> option in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> (remember that if you set
that option, you should also select <emphasis
role="bold">logmartians</emphasis>), then things may not work correctly
and you will see messages like this:</para>
<programlisting>Feb 9 17:23:45 gw.ilinx kernel: martian source 206.124.146.176 from 64.86.88.116, on dev eth1
Feb 9 17:23:45 gw.ilinx kernel: ll header: 00:a0:24:2a:1f:72:00:13:5f:07:97:05:08:00</programlisting>
<para>The above message is somewhat awkwardly phrased. The source IP in
this incoming packet was 64.86.88.116 and the destination IP address was
206.124.146.176. Another gotcha is that the incoming packet has already
had the destination IP address changed for DNAT or because the original
outgoing connection was altered by an entry in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename> (SNAT or Masquerade). So the
destination IP address (206.124.146.176) may not have been the
destination IP address in the packet as it was initially
received.</para>
<para>There a couple of common causes for these problems:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You have connected both of your external interfaces to the
same hub/switch. Connecting multiple firewall interfaces to a common
hub or switch is always a bad idea that will result in
hard-to-diagnose problems.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You are specifying both the <emphasis
role="bold">loose</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">balance</emphasis> options on your provider(s). This can
cause individual connections to ping-pong back and forth between the
interfaces which is almost guaranteed to cause problems.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You are redirecting traffic from the firewall system out of
one interface or the other using packet marking in your
<filename>/etc/shorewall/mangle</filename> file. A better approach
is to configure the application to use the appropriate local IP
address (the IP address of the interface that you want the
application to use). See <link linkend="Local">below</link>.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>If all else fails, remove the <emphasis
role="bold">routefilter</emphasis> option from your external interfaces.
If you do this, you may wish to add rules to log and drop packets from
the Internet that have source addresses in your local networks. For
example, if the local LAN in the above diagram is 192.168.1.0/24, then
you would add this rule:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST
DROP:info net:192.168.1.0/24 all</programlisting>
<para>Be sure the above rule is added before any other rules with
<emphasis>net</emphasis> in the SOURCE column.</para>
<important>
<para>If you set ROUTE_FILTER=Yes in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>, then setting
<emphasis role="bold">routefilter</emphasis>=0 in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>
(5) will not disable route filtering on a given interface. You must
set ROUTE_FILTER=No in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink> (5), then
set the <emphasis role="bold">routefilter</emphasis> option on those
interfaces on which you want route filtering.</para>

<title>Null Routing</title>
<para>Null routing is a type of routing which discards a given packet
instead of directing it through a specific predefined route. Generally
speaking, there are 3 different types of Null routing as indicated
below:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Unreachable routes</para>
<para>When used, a request for a routing decision returns a
destination with an unreachable route type, an ICMP unreachable is
generated (icmp type 3) and returned to the source address.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<programlisting>ip route add unreachable 10.22.0.12
ip route add unreachable 192.168.14.0/26
ip route add unreachable 82.32.0.0/12
</programlisting>
<para>Unreachable routes are usually indicated by a dash ("-") in
the "Iface" column when "route -n" is executed:</para>
<programlisting>~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.22.0.12 - 255.255.255.255 !H 0 - 0 -
192.168.14.0 - 255.255.255.192 ! 0 - 0 -
82.32.0.0 - 255.240.0.0 ! 0 - 0 -
</programlisting>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Prohibit routes</para>
<para>Similar to "unreachable" routes above, when a request for a
routing decision returns a destination with a prohibit route type,
the kernel generates an ICMP prohibited to return to the source
address.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<programlisting>ip route add prohibit 10.22.0.12
ip route add prohibit 192.168.14.0/26
ip route add prohibit 82.32.0.0/12</programlisting>
<para>"Prohibit" type routes are also indicated by a dash in the
"Iface" column as shown above.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Blackhole routes</para>
<para>The difference between this type of routing and the previous
two listed above is that a packet matching a route with the route
type blackhole is simply discarded (DROPed). No ICMP is sent and no
packet is forwarded.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<programlisting>ip route add blackhole 10.22.0.12
ip route add blackhole 192.168.14.0/26

<para>When combined with route filtering (ROUTE_FILTER=Yes or

using such addresses.</para>
<para>When this option is used, the blackhole routes for all
RFC1918 subnets are defined for the "main" routing table only.
These, however, can be copied over to different routing tables or
further customised and fine-tuned to suit individual needs by

<title>Important Points To Remember When Using Null Routing in
Shorewall</title>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>In order to create "pinhole" in a particular blackhole
route, at least one route needs to be defined in addition to the
null route.</para>
<para>Lets take the following example: We need to null-route all
addresses from the 10.0.0.0/8 range, <emphasis
role="bold">except</emphasis> 10.1.0.0/24. In such a case we need
to define two routes in our "routes" file (assuming the default
"main" routing table is used and also assuming that 10.1.0.0/24 is
routed via the default gateway on eth0 and we need to use
'blackhole' type null routing).</para>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/routes</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#PROVIDER DEST GATEWAY DEVICE
main 10.0.0.0/8 blackhole
main 10.1.0.0/24 - eth0</programlisting>
<para>The above will generate 2 statements for execution when
Shorewall starts:</para>
<programlisting>ip route replace blackhole 10.0.0.0/8 table main
ip route replace 10.1.0.0/24 table main
</programlisting>
<para>The order in which the two routes above are defined in
"routes" is not important, simply because, by definition, routes
with lower mask value are always traversed first. In that way,
packets originating from or destined to 10.1.0.0/24 will always be
processed before the 10.0.0.0/8 blackhole route.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Null routes, by their definition, are not attached to any
network device. What this means in reality is that when the status
of a particular device changes (either going up or down), that has
absolutely <emphasis role="bold">no</emphasis> effect on the null
routes defined (as already indicated, these are "static" and can
only be removed by executing "ip route del" or by executing the
relevant ${VARDIR}/undo_*_routing shell script).</para>
<important>
<para>The ${VARDIR}/undo_*_routing scripts generated by
Shorewall 4.5.14 and earlier cannot be executed directly from
the shell without first sourcing
${SHAREDIR}/shorewall/functions. Example:</para>
<programlisting>. /usr/share/shorewall/functions
. /var/lib/shorewall/undo_x_routing</programlisting>
</important>
<para>This sometimes may lead to undesirable side effect: when a
network interface goes down (even temporarily), then <emphasis
role="bold">all</emphasis> routes defined or attached to that
interface are simply deleted from the routing table by the kernel,
while the blackhole routes are untouched.</para>
<para>Lets take our example above: when eth0 goes down, then the
route we defined in "routes" for our private subnet (10.1.0.0/24)
will be deleted from the routing table. As soon as eth0 goes back
up again, unless the route for our private 10.1.0.0/24 subnet is
defined again, all packets originating from or destined to
10.1.0.0/24 will simply be dropped by the kernel!</para>
<para>An indication of this type of behaviour is getting endless
"martian" packets reported in the system log, like so:</para>
<programlisting>IPv4: martian source 10.1.0.7 from 10.1.0.1, on dev eth0</programlisting>
<para>There are currently two possible solutions to this
particular problem:</para>
<orderedlist numeration="upperalpha">
<listitem>
<para>Add all network-interface dependent routes (the ones
which are deleted when that interface goes down) to your
distribution's network configuration system. On Redhat and
derivatives, that would be
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-X</filename>
(where "X" is the name of the interface in question). On
Debian and derivatives, it is
<filename>/etc/network/interfaces</filename>.</para>
<para>That way, when the network device goes back up again,
the Linux OS will add these routes "automatically". Using our
example above - to add a route to 10.1.0.0/24 using the
default gateway on eth0 and also using the main routing table,
the following needs to be added to
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0</filename>
(Redhat and derivatives):</para>
<programlisting>10.1.0.0/24 dev eth0 table main
</programlisting>
<para>On Debian and derivatives (in the eth0 stanza of
<filename>/etc/network/interfaces</filename>):</para>
<programlisting>iface eth0 ...
...
post-up ip route add 10.1.0.0/24 dev eth0 table main</programlisting>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A more elegant solution is, in addition to the
"standard" shorewall package (shorewall-lite, shorewall, etc),
to add <ulink url="Shorewall-init.html">shorewall-init</ulink>
to take care of this automatically.</para>
<para>With this approach, when the network interface is
brought back up, the OS passes control to /sbin/ifup-local,
which forms part of the shorewall-init package, and that
script, in turn, executes the appropriate command to reload
the network device settings in the already-compiled
${VARDIR}/firewall file.</para>
<para>When shorewall-init is used, all configuration settings
(routes, interface options etc) are kept in one place and do
not have to be defined separately (via
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-X for example), which
eases maintenance efforts quite considerably.</para>

<para>USE_DEFAULT_RT is an option in <ulink

<para>One of the drawbacks of the Multi-ISP support as described in the
preceding sections is that changes to the main table made by
applications are not added to the individual provider tables. This makes
route rules such as described in <link linkend="Openvpn">one of the
examples above</link> necessary.</para>
<para>USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes works around that problem by passing packets
through the main table first rather than last. This has a number of
implications:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Both the DUPLICATE and the COPY columns in the providers file
must remain empty or contain "-". The individual provider routing
tables generated when USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes contain only a host route
to the gateway and a default route via the gateway.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> option is assumed
for all interfaces that do not have the <emphasis

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The default route generated by Shorewall is added to the
<emphasis>default</emphasis> routing table (253) rather than to the
main routing table (254).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Packets are sent through the main routing table by a routing
rule with priority 999. The priority range 1-998 may be used for
inserting rules that bypass the main table.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You should disable all default route management outside of
Shorewall. If a default route is inadvertently added to the main

working except for those routing rules in the priority range
1-998.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For ppp interfaces, the GATEWAY may remain unspecified ("-").
For those interfaces managed by dhcpcd or dhclient, you may specify
'detect' in the GATEWAY column; Shorewall will use the dhcp client's
database to determine the gateway IP address. All other interfaces
must have a GATEWAY specified explicitly.</para>

<para>Note that the main routing table is consulted prior to the marks

<title>Two Providers Sharing an Interface</title>
<para>Shared interface support has the following characteristics:</para>
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
<listitem>
<para>Only Ethernet (or Ethernet-like) interfaces can be used. For
inbound traffic, the MAC addresses of the gateway routers are used
to determine which provider a packet was received through. Note that
only routed traffic can be categorized using this technique.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You must specify the address on the interface that corresponds
to a particular provider in the INTERFACE column by following the
interface name with a colon (":") and the address.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename> must be
qualified by the provider name (or number).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>This feature requires Realm Match support in your kernel and
iptables.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You must add rtrules entries for networks that are accessed
through a particular provider.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you have additional IP addresses through either provider,
you must add <filename>rtrules</filename> to direct traffic FROM
each of those addresses through the appropriate provider.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You must manually add MARK rules for traffic known to come
from each provider.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You must specify a gateway IP address in the GATEWAY column
of<filename> /etc/shorewall/providers</filename>; <emphasis
role="bold">detect</emphasis> is not permitted.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Taken together, b. and h. effectively preclude using this
technique with dynamic IP addresses.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<para>This is our home network circa fall 2008. We have two Internet
providers:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Comcast -- Cable modem with one dynamic IP address.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Avvanta -- ADSL with 5 static IP addresses.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Because the old <trademark>Compaq</trademark>
<trademark>Presario</trademark> that I use for a firewall only has three
PCI slots and no onboard Ethernet, it doesn't have enough Ethernet
controllers to support both providers. So I use a Linksys WRT300n pre-N
router as a gateway to Comcast. Note that because the Comcast IP address
is dynamic, I could not share a single firewall interface between the
two providers directly.</para>
<para>On my personal laptop (ursa), I have 9 virtual machines running
various Linux distributions. <emphasis>It is the Shorewall configuration
on ursa that I will describe here</emphasis>.</para>
<para>Below is a diagram of our network:<graphic align="center"
fileref="images/Network2008a.png"/></para>
<para>The local wired network in my office is connected to both gateways
and uses the private (RFC 1918) network 172.20.1.0/24. The Comcast
gateway has local IP address 172.20.1.1 while the Avvanta gateway has
local IP address 172.20.1.254. Ursa's eth0 interface has a single IP
address (172.20.1.130).</para>
<para>This configuration uses USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes in
<filename>shorewall.conf </filename>(see <link
linkend="USE_DEFAULT_RT">above</link>).</para>
<para>Here is the <filename>providers</filename> file:</para>

<para>Several things to note:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>172.20.1.130 is specified as the <filename
class="devicefile">eth0</filename> IP address for both
providers.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Both wired providers have the <emphasis
role="bold">loose</emphasis> option. This prevents Shorewall from
automatically generating routing rules based on the source IP
address.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Only <emphasis role="bold">comcast</emphasis> has the
<emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> option. With
USE_DEFAULT_RT=yes, that means that <emphasis
role="bold">comcast</emphasis> will be the default provider. While
<emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> is the default, with
USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes, it must be specified explicitly when <emphasis
role="bold">loose</emphasis> is also specified.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>I always disable the <emphasis role="bold">wireless</emphasis>
interface when the laptop is connected to the wired network.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>I use a different Shorewall configuration when I take the
laptop on the road.</para>

<title>IPv4 Configuration</title>
<para>The Business Gateway manages a gigabit local network with address
10.0.1.1/24. So The firewall is given address 10.0.1.11/24 and the
gateway is configured to route the public IP block via that address. The
gateway's firewall is only enabled for the 10.0.1.0/24 network.</para>

<para>The IPv6 configuration has two separate sub-nets, both services
through 6in4 tunnels from <ulink
url="http://tunnelbroker.he.net">Hurricane Electric</ulink>. They are
both configured through the Business IPv4 uplink. I originally had the
sit2 tunnel configured through the consumer uplink but Comcast (Xfinity)
decided to start blocking HE IPv6 tunnels on their consumer network,
preferring their own 6to4 IPv6 solution.</para>
<para>One HE tunnel handles the servers and one tunnel handles the local
network.</para>
<para>Here are the key entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall6/shorewall6.conf</filename>:</para>
