<h2 align="center">Version 2.0.1</h2>
<p align="left">Setting up Shorewall on a standalone Linux system is very
easy if you understand the basics and follow the documentation.</p>
<p>This guide doesn't attempt to acquaint you with all of the features of
Shorewall. It rather focuses on what is required to configure Shorewall
in one of its most common configurations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Linux system</li>
<li>Single external IP address</li>
<li>Connection through Cable Modem, DSL, ISDN, Frame Relay, dial-up...</li>
</ul>
<p>Shorewall requires that you have the iproute/iproute2 package installed
(on RedHat, the package is called <i>iproute</i>)<i>. </i>You can tell
if this package is installed by the presence of an <b>ip</b> program on
your firewall system. As root, you can use the 'which' command to check
for this program:</p>
<pre> [root@gateway root]# which ip<br> /sbin/ip<br> [root@gateway root]#</pre>
<p>I recommend that you read through the guide first to familiarize yourself
with what's involved then go back through it again making your configuration
changes.<2E> Points at which configuration changes are recommended are flagged
with <img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13" height="13">
.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="images/j0213519.gif" width="60" height="60">
<20><><EFBFBD> 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. 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.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/51438.html">Windows Version
of dos2unix</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.megaloman.com/%7Ehany/software/hd2u/">Linux
Version of dos2unix</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 align="left">Shorewall Concepts</h2>
<p> <img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13" height="13"
alt="">
<20><><EFBFBD> The configuration files for Shorewall are contained in the directory
/etc/shorewall -- for simple setups, you only need to deal with a few
of these as described in this guide. After you have <a
href="Install.htm">installed Shorewall</a>, <b>download the <a
href="/pub/shorewall/LATEST.samples/one-interface.tgz">one-interface sample</a>,
un-tar it (tar -zxvf one-interface.tgz) and and copy the files to /etc/shorewall
(they will replace files with the same names that were placed in /etc/shorewall
during Shorewall installation)</b>.</p>
<p>As each file is introduced, I suggest that you look through the actual
file on your system -- each file contains detailed configuration instructions
and default entries.</p>
<p>Shorewall views the network where it is running as being composed of a
set of <i>zones.</i> In the one-interface sample configuration, only
one zone is defined:</p>
<table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="0" id="AutoNumber2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><u><b>Name</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Description</b></u></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>net</b></td>
<td><b>The Internet</b></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Shorewall zones are defined in <a href="Documentation.htm#Zones"> /etc/shorewall/zones</a>.</p>
<p>Shorewall also recognizes the firewall system as its own zone - by default,
the firewall itself is known as <b>fw</b>.</p>
<p>Rules about what traffic to allow and what traffic to deny are expressed
in terms of zones.</p>
<ul>
<li>You express your default policy for connections from one zone
to another zone in the<a href="Documentation.htm#Policy"> /etc/shorewall/policy
</a>file.</li>
<li>You define exceptions to those default policies in the <a
href="Documentation.htm#Rules">/etc/shorewall/rules </a>file.</li>
</ul>
<p>For each connection request entering the firewall, the request is first
checked against the /etc/shorewall/rules file. If no rule in that file
matches the connection request then the first policy in /etc/shorewall/policy
that matches the request is applied. If that policy is REJECT or DROP<4F>
the request is first checked against the rules in /etc/shorewall/common
(the samples provide that file for you).</p>
<p>The /etc/shorewall/policy file included with the one-interface sample
has the following policies:</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
id="AutoNumber3">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><u><b>SOURCE ZONE</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>DESTINATION ZONE</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>POLICY</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>LOG LEVEL</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>LIMIT:BURST</b></u></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fw</td>
<td>net</td>
<td>ACCEPT</td>
<td><EFBFBD></td>
<td><EFBFBD></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>net</td>
<td>all<br>
</td>
<td>DROP</td>
<td>info</td>
<td><EFBFBD></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>all</td>
<td>all</td>
<td>REJECT</td>
<td>info</td>
<td><EFBFBD></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
<p>The above policy will:</p>
<ol>
<li>allow all connection requests from the firewall to the internet</li>
<li>drop (ignore) all connection requests from the internet to your
firewall</li>
<li>reject all other connection requests (Shorewall requires this
catchall policy).</li>
</ol>
<p>At this point, edit your /etc/shorewall/policy and make any changes that
you wish.</p>
<h2 align="left">External Interface</h2>
<p align="left">The firewall has a single network interface. Where Internet
connectivity is through a cable or DSL "Modem", the <i>External Interface</i>
will be the ethernet adapter (<b>eth0</b>) that is connected to that
"Modem"<22> <u>unless</u> you connect via <i><u>P</u>oint-to-<u>P</u>oint
<u>P</u>rotocol over <u>E</u>thernet</i> (PPPoE) or <i><u>P</u>oint-to-<u>P</u>oint
<u>T</u>unneling <u>P</u>rotocol </i>(PPTP) in which case the External
Interface will be a <b>ppp0</b>. If you connect via a regular modem, your
External Interface will also be <b>ppp0</b>. If you connect using ISDN,
your external interface will be<b> ippp0.</b></p>
<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_3.gif" width="13"
height="13">
<20><><EFBFBD> The Shorewall one-interface sample configuration assumes that
the external interface is <b>eth0</b>. If your configuration is different,
you will have to modify the sample /etc/shorewall/interfaces file accordingly.
While you are there, you may wish to review the list of options that
are specified for the interface. Some hints:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">If your external interface is <b>ppp0</b> or <b>ippp0</b>,
you can replace the "detect" in the second column with "-". </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">If your external interface is <b>ppp0</b> or <b>ippp0</b>
or if you have a static IP address, you can remove "dhcp" from the
option list. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<div align="left">
<h2 align="left">IP Addresses</h2>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">RFC 1918 reserves several <i>Private </i>IP address ranges
for use in private networks:</p>
<div align="left">
<pre> 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255<br> 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255<br> 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255</pre>
</div>
<p align="left">These addresses are sometimes referred to as <i>non-routable</i>
because the Internet backbone routers will not forward a packet whose
destination address is reserved by RFC 1918. In some cases though, ISPs
are assigning these addresses then using <i>Network Address Translation
</i>to rewrite packet headers when forwarding to/from the internet.</p>
<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" align="left"
width="13" height="13">
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> Before starting Shorewall, you should look at the IP address
of your external interface and if it is one of the above ranges, you
should remove the 'norfc1918' option from the entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<h2 align="left">Enabling other Connections</h2>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">If you wish to enable connections from the internet to your
firewall, the general format is:</p>

width="13" height="13" alt="Arrow">
<20><><EFBFBD> The <a href="Install.htm">installation procedure </a> configures
your system to start Shorewall at system boot but beginning with Shorewall
version 1.3.9 startup is disabled so that your system won't try to start
Shorewall before configuration is complete. Once you have completed configuration
of your firewall, you can enable Shorewall startup by removing the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled.<br>
</p>
<p align="left"><font color="#ff0000"><b>IMPORTANT</b>: Users of the .deb
package must edit /etc/default/shorewall and set 'startup=1'.</font><br>
</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">The firewall is started using the "shorewall start" command
and stopped using "shorewall stop". When the firewall is stopped, routing
is enabled on those hosts that have an entry in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Routestopped">/etc/shorewall/routestopped</a>. A
running firewall may be restarted using the "shorewall restart" command.
If you want to totally remove any trace of Shorewall from your Netfilter
configuration, use "shorewall clear".</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left"><b>WARNING: </b>If you are connected to your firewall from
the internet, do not issue a "shorewall stop" command unless you have
added an entry for the IP address that you are connected from to <a
href="Documentation.htm#Routestopped">/etc/shorewall/routestopped</a>.
Also, I don't recommend using "shorewall restart"; it is better to create
an <i><a href="configuration_file_basics.htm#Configs">alternate configuration</a></i>
and test it using the <a
href="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm">"shorewall try" command</a>.</p>
