|
<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]# <command>which ip</command>
|
|
/sbin/ip
|
|
[root@gateway root]#
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>I recommend that you first read through the guide to familiarize
|
|
yourself with what'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>

your system in the directory <filename class="directory">/usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config</filename>.

<para>For the remainder of this guide, we'll refer to the following

<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

firewall between the compromised system and your local systems.</para>

<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>
|
|

<para>The Shorewall default configuration does not define the contents of
|
|
any zone. To define the above configuration using the <ulink

|
|
that file would might contain:</para>

<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>

<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'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 & 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>

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

you will often hear a subnet of size 64 referred to as a <quote>slash 26</quote>

<para>The subnet's mask (also referred to as its

bits:</para>

|
|
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>

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'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'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>

<para>When sending packets over Ethernet, IP addresses aren't used.
|
|
Rather Ethernet addressing is based on <emphasis>Media Access Control</emphasis>
|
|
(MAC) addresses. Each Ethernet device has it'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>

<para>As you can see from the above output, the MAC is 6 bytes (48 bits)
|

wide. A card'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

<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't deal with these registrars but rather get our IP addresses
|
|
from our ISP. It's a fact of life that most of us can'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'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'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't want to use addresses that are being used by

</itemizedlist>

<title>Routed</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Let'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'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'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'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's IP
|
|
addresses is sent by another system connected to the hub/switch, all of
|
|
the firewall'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>

<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

<para><emphasis role="bold">You cannot test your firewall from the
|
|
inside</emphasis>. Just because you send requests to your firewall
|
|
external IP address does not mean that the request will be associated
|
|
with the external interface or the <quote>net</quote> zone. Any
|
|
traffic that you generate from the local network will be associated
|
|
with your local interface and will be treated as loc->fw traffic.</para>

</listitem>
|

|

<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">IP addresses are properties of systems,
|
|
not of interfaces</emphasis>. It is a mistake to believe that your
|
|
firewall is able to forward packets just because you can ping the IP
|
|
address of all of the firewall's interfaces from the local
|
|
network. The only conclusion you can draw from such pinging success is
|
|
that the link between the local system and the firewall works and that
|
|
you probably have the local system's default gateway set
|
|
correctly.</para>
|

</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">All IP addresses configured on firewall
|
|
interfaces are in the $FW (fw) zone</emphasis>. If 192.168.1.254 is
|
|
the IP address of your internal interface then you can write
|
|
<quote><emphasis role="bold">$FW:192.168.1.254</emphasis></quote> in a
|
|
rule but you may not write <quote><emphasis role="bold">loc:192.168.1.254</emphasis></quote>.
|
|
Similarly, it is nonsensical to add 192.168.1.254 to the <emphasis
|
|
role="bold">loc</emphasis> zone using an entry in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename>.</para>

<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">Reply packets do NOT automatically follow
|
|
the reverse path of the one taken by the original request</emphasis>.
|
|
All packets are routed according to the routing table of the host at
|
|
each step of the way. This issue commonly comes up when people install
|
|
a Shorewall firewall parallel to an existing gateway and try to use
|
|
DNAT through Shorewall without changing the default gateway of the
|
|
system receiving the forwarded requests. Requests come in through the
|
|
Shorewall firewall where the destination IP address gets rewritten but
|
|
replies go out unmodified through the old gateway.</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>

<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'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>  and test it using the
|
|
<quote><ulink url="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm"><command>shorewall
|
|
try</command></ulink></quote> command.</para>
