<p>Proxy ARP allows you to insert a firewall in front of a set of servers
|
||
without changing their IP addresses and without having to re-subnet.
|
||
Before you try to use this technique, I strongly recommend that you read
|
||
the <a href="shorewall_setup_guide.htm">Shorewall Setup Guide.</a></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The following figure represents a Proxy ARP environment.</p>

|

|

<p align="left">Proxy ARP can be used to make the systems with addresses
|
||
130.252.100.18 and 130.252.100.19 appear to be on the upper (130.252.100.*)
|
||
subnet. Assuming that the upper firewall interface is eth0 and the
|
||
lower interface is eth1, this is accomplished using the following entries
|
||
in /etc/shorewall/proxyarp:</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|

<table border="2" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;">

<tbody>
|

<tr>
|

<td><b>ADDRESS</b></td>
|

|
||
|
||
<p>Be sure that the internal systems (130.242.100.18 and 130.252.100.19
|
||
in the above example) are not included in any specification in /etc/shorewall/masq
|
||
or /etc/shorewall/nat.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Note that I've used an RFC1918 IP address for eth1 - that IP address is
|
||
irrelevant. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The lower systems (130.252.100.18 and 130.252.100.19) should have their
|
||
subnet mask and default gateway configured exactly the same way that
|
||
the Firewall system's eth0 is configured. In other words, they should
|
||
be configured just like they would be if they were parallel to the firewall
|
||
rather than behind it.<br>

<p align="left">A word of warning is in order here. ISPs typically configure
|
||
their routers with a long ARP cache timeout. If you move a system from
|
||
parallel to your firewall to behind your firewall with Proxy ARP, it
|
||
will probably be HOURS before that system can communicate with the internet.
|
||
There are a couple of things that you can try:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>(Courtesy of Bradey Honsinger) A reading of Stevens' <i>TCP/IP
|
||
Illustrated, Vol 1</i> reveals that a <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
"gratuitous" ARP packet should cause the ISP's router to refresh their
|
||
ARP cache (section 4.7). A gratuitous ARP is simply a host requesting the
|
||
MAC address for its own IP; in addition to ensuring that the IP address
|
||
isn't a duplicate...<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
"if the host sending the gratuitous ARP has just changed its hardware
|
||
address..., this packet causes any other host...that has an entry in its
|
||
cache for the old hardware address to update its ARP cache entry accordingly."<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Which is, of course, exactly what you want to do when you switch a host
|
||
from being exposed to the Internet to behind Shorewall using proxy ARP (or
|
||
static NAT for that matter). Happily enough, recent versions of Redhat's
|
||
iputils package include "arping", whose "-U" flag does just that:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I <i><net if> <newly
|
||
proxied IP></i></b></font><br>
|
||
<font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I eth0 66.58.99.83 # for example</b></font><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Stevens goes on to mention that not all systems respond correctly to
|
||
gratuitous ARPs, but googling for "arping -U" seems to support the idea
|
||
that it works most of the time.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To use arping with Proxy ARP in the above example, you would have to:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<font color="#009900"><b> shorewall clear<br>
|
||
</b></font> <font color="#009900"><b>ip addr add 130.252.100.18
|
||
dev eth0<br>
|
||
ip addr add 130.252.100.19 dev eth0</b></font><br>
|
||
<font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I eth0 130.252.100.18</b></font><br>
|
||
<font color="#009900"><b>arping -U -I eth0 130.252.100.19</b></font><br>
|
||
<b><font color="#009900">ip addr del 130.252.100.18 dev eth0<br>
|
||
ip addr del 130.252.100.19 dev eth0<br>
|
||
shorewall start</font></b><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>You can call your ISP and ask them to purge the stale ARP cache
|
||
entry but many either can't or won't purge individual entries.</li>
|
||
|
||
</ol>
|
||
You can determine if your ISP's gateway ARP cache is stale using ping
|
||
and tcpdump. Suppose that we suspect that the gateway router has a stale
|
||
ARP cache entry for 130.252.100.19. On the firewall, run tcpdump as follows:</div>
|
||
|
||
<div align="left">
|
||
<pre> <font color="#009900"><b>tcpdump -nei eth0 icmp</b></font></pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div align="left">
|
||
<p align="left">Now from 130.252.100.19, ping the ISP's gateway (which we
|
||
will assume is 130.252.100.254):</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div align="left">
|
||
<pre> <b><font color="#009900">ping 130.252.100.254</font></b></pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div align="left">
|
||
<p align="left">We can now observe the tcpdump output:</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div align="left">

||
<pre> 13:35:12.159321 <u>0:4:e2:20:20:33</u> 0:0:77:95:dd:19 ip 98: 130.252.100.19 > 130.252.100.254: icmp: echo request (DF)<br> 13:35:12.207615 0:0:77:95:dd:19 <u>0:c0:a8:50:b2:57</u> ip 98: 130.252.100.254 > 130.252.100.177 : icmp: echo reply</pre>

</div>
|
||
|
||
<div align="left">
|
||
<p align="left">Notice that the source MAC address in the echo request is
|
||
different from the destination MAC address in the echo reply!! In this

case 0:4:e2:20:20:33 was the MAC of the firewall's eth0 NIC while 0:c0:a8:50:b2:57
|
||
was the MAC address of the system on the lower left. In other words,
|
||
the gateway's ARP cache still associates 130.252.100.19 with the NIC
|
||
in that system rather than with the firewall's eth0.</p>
