<section id="Why">
<title>Why use Network Mapping</title>
<para>Network Mapping is most often used to resolve IP address conflicts.
Suppose that two organizations, A and B, need to be linked and that both
organizations have allocated the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork. There is a
need to connect the two networks so that all systems in A can access the
192.168.1.0/24 network in B and vice versa without any
re-addressing.</para>
</section>
<section id="Solution">
<title>Solution</title>
<para>Shorewall NETMAP support is designed to supply a solution. The basic
situation is as shown in the following diagram.<graphic
fileref="images/netmap.png" /></para>
<para>While the link between the two firewalls is shown here as a VPN, it
could be any type of interconnection that allows routing of <ulink
url="shorewall_setup_guide.htm#RFC1918">RFC 1918</ulink> traffic.</para>
<para>The systems in the top cloud will access the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet
in the lower cloud using addresses in another unused /24. Similarly, the
systems in the bottom cloud will access the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet in the
upper cloud using a second unused /24.</para>
<para>In order to apply this solution:</para>
<itemizedlist>

<para>You must be running Shorewall 2.0.1 Beta 2 or later.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Your kernel must have NETMAP support. 2.6 Kernels have NETMAP

<para>NETMAP support must be enabled in your kernel
(CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_NETMAP=m or CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_NETMAP=y).</para>

access 192.168.1.0/24 in the top could using addresses in
10.10.11.0.<important>

</section>
<section>
<title>If you are running Shorewall 4.4.23 or Later</title>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.23, you <emphasis>can</emphasis>
bridge two duplicate networks with one router, provided that your kernel
and iptables include <emphasis>Rawpost Table Support</emphasis>. That
support is used to implement Stateless NAT which allows for performing
DNAT in the rawpost table POSTROUTING and OUTPUT chains and for
performing SNAT in the raw table PREROUTING chain. Using this support,
only firewall1 requires <filename>/etc/shorewall/netmap</filename>. Two
additional entries are added.</para>
<programlisting>#TYPE NET1 INTERFACE NET2
SNAT 192.168.1.0/24 vpn 10.10.11.0/24
DNAT 10.10.11.0/24 vpn 192.168.1.0/24
<emphasis role="bold">SNAT:P 192.168.1.0/24 vpn 10.10.10.0/24
DNAT:T 10.10.10.0/24 vpn 192.168.1.0/24</emphasis></programlisting>
<para>The last two entries define <firstterm>Stateless NAT</firstterm>
by specifying a chain designator (:P for PREROUTING and :T for
POSTROUTING respectively). See <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-netlink.html">shorewall-netmap</ulink> (5) for
details.</para>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>IPv6</title>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall6 4.4.24, IPv6 support for Netmap is
included. This provides a way to use private IPv6 addresses internally and
still have access to the IPv6 internet.</para>
<warning>
<para>IPv6 netmap is <firstterm>stateless</firstterm> which means that
there are no Netfilter helpers for applications that need them. As a
consequence, applications that require a helper (FTP, IRC, etc.) may
experience issues.</para>
</warning>
<para>For IPv6, the chain designator (:P for PREROUTING or :T for
POSTROUTING) is required in the TYPE column. Normally SNAT rules are
placed in the POSTROUTING chain while DNAT rules are placed in
PREROUTING.</para>
<para>To use IPv6 Netmap, your kernel and iptables must include
<emphasis>Rawpost Table Support</emphasis>.</para>
<para>IPv6 Netmap has been verified at shorewall.net using the
configuration shown below.</para>
<graphic align="center" fileref="images/Network2011b.png" />
<para>IPv6 support is supplied from Hurricane Electric; the IPv6 address
block is 2001:470:b:227::/64.</para>
<para>Because of the limitations of IPv6 NETMAP (no Netfilter helpers),
the servers in the DMZ have public addresses in the block
2001:470:b:227::/112. The local LAN uses the private network
fd00:470:b:227::/64 with the hosts autoconfigured using radvd. This block
is allocated from the range (fc00::/7) reserved for<firstterm> <ulink
url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address">Unique Local
Addresses</ulink></firstterm>.</para>
<para>The /etc/shorewall6/netmap file is as follows:</para>
<programlisting>#TYPE NET1 INTERFACE NET2 NET3 PROTO DEST SOURCE
# PORT(S) PORT(S)
SNAT:T fd00:470:b:227::/64 HE_IF 2001:470:b:227::/64
DNAT:P 2001:470:b:227::/64!2001:470:b:227::/112\
HE_IF fd00:470:b:227::/64
</programlisting>
<para>HE_IF is the logical name for interface sit1. On output, the private
address block is mapped to the public block. Because autoconfiguration is
used, none of the local addresses falls into the range
fd00:470:b:227::/112. That range can therefore be excluded from
DNAT.</para>
<note>
<para>While the site local network that was used is very similar to the
public network (only the first word is different), that isn't a
requirement. We could have just as well used
fd00:bad:dead:beef::/64</para>
</note>
<note>
<para>The MacBook Pro running OS X Lion refused to autoconfigure when
radvd advertised a <ulink
url="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3513">site-local</ulink> network
(fec0:470:b:227/64) but worked fine with the unique-local network
(fd00:470:b:227::/64). Note that site-local addresses were deprecated in
<ulink url="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3879">RFC3879</ulink>.</para>
</note>
<note>
<para>This whole scheme isn't quite as useful as it might appear. Many
IPv6-enabled applications (web browsers, for example) are smart enough
to recognize unique local addresses and will only use IPv6 to
communicate with other such local addresses.</para>
