<title>Background</title>
<para>Systems where Shorewall runs normally function as
<firstterm>routers</firstterm>. In the context of the Open System
Interconnect (OSI) reference model, a router operates at layer 3,
Shorewall may also be deployed on a GNU Linux System that acts as a
<firstterm>bridge</firstterm>. Bridges are layer 2 devices in the OSI
model (think of a bridge as an Ethernet switch).</para>
<para>Some differences between routers and bridges are:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Routers determine packet destination based on the destination IP
address, while bridges route traffic based on the destination MAC
address in the Ethernet frame.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>As a consequence of the first difference, routers can be
connected to more than one IP network while a bridge/firewall may be
part of only a single network (see below).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>In most configurations, routers don't forward broadcast packets
while bridges do.</para>
<note>
<para>Section 4 of RFC 1812 describes the conditions under which a
router may or must forward broadcasts.</para>

<para>Note that if you need a bridge but do not need to restrict the
traffic through the bridge then any version of Shorewall will work. See

<title>Application</title>
<para>The following diagram shows a typical application of a
bridge/firewall. There is already an existing router in place whose
internal interface supports a network, and you want to insert a firewall
between the router, and the systems in the local network. In the example
shown, the network uses RFC 1918 addresses but that is not a requirement;
the bridge would work exactly the same if public IP addresses were used
(remember that the bridge doesn't deal with IP addresses).</para>
<graphic fileref="images/bridge.png" />
<para>There are a several key differences in this setup and a normal
Shorewall configuration:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The Shorewall system (the Bridge/Firewall) has only a single IP
address even though it has two Ethernet interfaces! The IP address is
configured on the bridge itself, rather than on either of the network
cards.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The systems connected to the LAN are configured with the
router's IP address (192.168.1.254 in the above diagram) as their
default gateway.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><command>traceroute</command> doesn't detect the Bridge/Firewall
as an intermediate router.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If the router runs a DHCP server, the hosts connected to the LAN
can use that server without having <command>dhcrelay</command> running
on the Bridge/Firewall.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<warning>
<para>Inserting a bridge/firewall between a router and a set of local
hosts only works if those local hosts form a single IP network. In the
above diagram, all of the hosts in the loc zone are in the
192.168.1.0/24 network. If the router is routing between several local
networks through the same physical interface (there are multiple IP
networks sharing the same LAN), then inserting a bridge/firewall between
the router and the local LAN won't work.</para>
</warning>
<para>There are other possibilities here -- there could be a hub or switch
between the router and the Bridge/Firewall and there could be other
systems connected to that switch. All of the systems on the local side of
the <emphasis role="bold">router</emphasis> would still be configured with
IP addresses in 192.168.1.0/24 as shown below.<graphic
fileref="images/bridge3.png" /></para>
</section>
<section id="Bridge">
<title>Configuring the Bridge</title>
<para>Configuring the bridge itself is quite simple and uses the
<command>brctl</command> utility from the bridge-utils package. Bridge
configuration information may be found at <ulink
url="http://bridge.sf.net">http://bridge.sf.net</ulink>.</para>
<para>Unfortunately, many Linux distributions don't have good bridge
configuration tools, and the network configuration GUIs don't detect the
presence of bridge devices. Here is an excerpt from a Debian
<filename>/etc/network/interfaces</filename> file for a two-port bridge
with a static IP address:</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting>auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.253
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up
pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth1 up

pre-down /sbin/ip link set eth0 down
pre-down /usr/sbin/brctl delif br0 eth1
pre-down /sbin/ip link set eth1 down
post-down /usr/sbin/brctl delbr br0</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>While it is not a requirement to give the bridge an IP address,
doing so allows the bridge/firewall to access other systems and allows the
bridge/firewall to be managed remotely. The bridge must also have an IP
address for REJECT rules and policies to work correctly — otherwise REJECT
behaves the same as DROP. It is also a requirement for bridges to have an
IP address if they are part of a <link
linkend="bridge-router">bridge/router</link>.</para>
<important>
<para>Get your bridge configuration working first, including bridge
startup at boot, before you configure and start Shorewall.</para>
</important>
<para>The bridge may have its IP address assigned via DHCP. Here's an
example of an /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br0 file from a
<trademark>SUSE</trademark> system:</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting>BOOTPROTO='dhcp'

<title>Configuring Shorewall</title>
<para>As described above, Shorewall bridge support requires the
<firstterm>physdev match</firstterm> feature of Netfilter/iptables.
Physdev match allows rules to be triggered based on the bridge port that a
packet arrived on and/or the bridge port that a packet will be sent over.
The latter has proved to be problematic because it requires that the
evaluation of rules be deferred until the destination bridge port is
known. This deferral has the unfortunate side effect that it makes IPSEC
Netfilter filtration incompatible with bridges. To work around this
problem, in kernel version 2.6.20 the Netfilter developers decided to
remove the deferred processing in two cases:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>When a packet being sent through a bridge entered the firewall
on another interface and was being forwarded to the bridge.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>When a packet originating on the firewall itself is being sent
through a bridge.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Notice that physdev match was only weakened with respect to the
destination bridge port -- it remains fully functional with respect to the
source bridge port.</para>
<para>To deal with the asymmetric nature of the new physdev match,
Shorewall supports a new type of zone - a <firstterm>Bridge
Port</firstterm> (BP) zone. Bridge port zones have a number of
restrictions:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>BP zones may only be associated with bridge ports.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>All ports associated with a given BP zone must be on the same
bridge.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Policies from a non-BP zone to a BP are disallowed.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Rules where the SOURCE is a non-BP zone and the DEST is a BP
zone are disallowed.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>In /etc/shorewall/zones, BP zones are specified using the <emphasis
role="bold">bport</emphasis> (or <emphasis role="bold">bport4</emphasis>)
keyword. If your version of <filename>shorewall.conf</filename> contains
the <emphasis role="bold">BRIDGING</emphasis> option, it must be set to
<emphasis role="bold">No</emphasis>.</para>
<para>In the scenario pictured above, there would probably be two BP zones
defined -- one for the Internet and one for the local LAN so in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE TYPE OPTIONS
fw firewall
world ipv4
net:world bport
loc:world bport
#LAST LINE - ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS ONE - DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
<para>The <emphasis>world</emphasis> zone can be used when defining rules
whose source zone is the firewall itself (remember that fw-&gt;&lt;BP
zone&gt; rules are not allowed).</para>
<para>A conventional two-zone policy file is appropriate here —
<filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LIMIT:BURST
loc net ACCEPT
net all DROP info
all all REJECT info
#LAST LINE - ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS ONE - DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
<para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>IMPLICIT_CONTINUE=No</programlisting>
<para>Bridges use a special syntax in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename>. Assuming that the router
is connected to <filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename> and the
switch to <filename class="devicefile">eth1</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
world br0 detect bridge
net br0:eth0
loc br0:eth1
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
<para>The <emphasis>world</emphasis> zone is associated with the bridge
itself which is defined with the <emphasis role="bold">bridge</emphasis>
option. Bridge port entries may not have any OPTIONS.</para>
<note>
<para>When a bridge is configured without an IP address, the
<option>optional</option> option must also be specified.</para>
</note>
<para>When Shorewall is stopped, you want to allow only local traffic
through the bridge —
<filename><filename>/etc/shorewall/routestopped</filename></filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#INTERFACE HOST(S) OPTIONS
br0 192.168.1.0/24 routeback
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> file from the
two-interface sample is a good place to start for defining a set of
firewall rules.</para>
</section>
<section id="Multiple">
<title>Multiple Bridges with Wildcard Ports</title>
<para>It is sometimes required to configure multiple bridges on a single
firewall/gateway. The following seemingly valid configuration results in a
compile-time error</para>

<programlisting> #ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
world br0 - bridge
world br1 - bridge
z1 br0:p+
z2 br1:p+</programlisting>
<para>The reason is that the Shorewall implementation requires each bridge
port to have a unique name. The <option>physical</option> interface option
was added in Shorewall 4.4.4 to work around this problem. The above
configuration may be defined using the following in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename>:</para>
<programlisting> #ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
world br0 - bridge
world br1 - bridge
z1 br0:x+ - physical=p+
z2 br1:y+ - physical=p+</programlisting>
<para>In this configuration, 'x+' is the logical name for ports p+ on
bridge br0 while 'y+' is the logical name for ports p+ on bridge
br1.</para>
<para>If you need to refer to a particular port on br1 (for example
p1023), you write it as y1023; Shorewall will translate that name to p1023
when needed.</para>

<title>Using Back-to-back veth Devices to Interface with a Bridge</title>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.26, Shorewall has limited support for
using back-to-back veth devices to interface with a bridge. This approach
has the advantage that traffic between any pair of zones can be filtered.
The disadvantage is the complexity of the approach.</para>
<para>This configuration is shown in the following diagram.</para>
<graphic align="center" fileref="images/veth1.png" />

<para>Traffic from the <emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis> and <emphasis

takes the reverse path: ethN-&gt;veth1-&gt;veth0. As a consequence,
traffic between <emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis>,<emphasis

twice: once in the routed firewall (eth0,veth0) and once in the bridged

<para>In <ulink url="manpages/shorewall.net.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>
(5), we need this:</para>
<programlisting>ZONE_BITS=3</programlisting>
<para>This does two things:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>It enables <firstterm>automatic packet
marking</firstterm>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>It allows up to 7 <replaceable>marked</replaceable> zones (2**3
- 1). Zones are marked unless they have <option>nomark</option> in the
OPTIONS column of their entry in <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-zones.html">shorewall-zones </ulink>(5).
Packets originating in a marked zone have a mark assigned
automatically by Shorewall.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>For this configuration, we need several additional zones as shown
here:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE TYPE OPTIONS IN OUT
# OPTIONS OPTIONS
fw firewall
net ipv4
zone1 bport
zone2 bport
zone3 bport
<emphasis role="bold">loc ipv4 nomark
col ipv4 nomark</emphasis></programlisting>
<note>
<para><emphasis role="bold">col</emphasis> is <emphasis
role="bold">loc</emphasis> spelled backward.</para>
</note>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACES BROADCAST OPTIONS
net eth0 ...
- br0 ...
zone1 br0:eth1 ...
zone2 br0:eth2 ...
zone3 br0:eth3 ...
loc veth0 ...
col br0:veth1 ...</programlisting>
<para>Several things to note here</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>We have defined two unmarked zones: <emphasis
role="bold">loc</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">col</emphasis>.
This allows traffic from the <emphasis
role="bold">zone</emphasis><emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">i</emphasis></emphasis> zones to the fw and net zones to
retain the mark of their originating bport zones. It also allows
traffic from the <emphasis role="bold">fw</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis> zones to the <emphasis
role="bold">zonei</emphasis> zones to retain the <emphasis
role="bold">fw</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis>
marks respectively.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>That means that traffic entering the bridge on veth1 will have a
different mark value, depending on whether it originated in the
<emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis> zone or in the <emphasis
role="bold">fw</emphasis> zone.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Similarly, traffic arriving on the veth0 interface will have a
mark that indicates which of the <emphasis
role="bold">zonei</emphasis> zones each packet originated on.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>The basic idea here is that we want to filter traffic to the
<emphasis role="bold">zonei</emphasis> zones as it leaves veth1 and we
want to filter traffic from those zones as it leaves veth0. So we use this
type of polices:</para>
<programlisting>#SOURCE DEST POLICY
fw loc ACCEPT
net loc ACCEPT
net all DROP:info
zone1 col ACCEPT
zone2 col ACCEPT
zone3 col ACCEPT
all all REJECT:info</programlisting>
<para>Rules allowing traffic from the net to zone2 look like this:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE USER/ MARK
# PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST LIMIT GROUP
ACCEPT col zone2 tcp 22 - - - - <emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis></programlisting>
<para>or more compactly:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST
# PORT(S)
ACCEPT col <emphasis role="bold">zone2</emphasis> tcp 22 ; mark=<emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis></programlisting>
<para>Similarly, rules allowing traffic from the firewall to zone3:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST
# PORT(S)
ACCEPT col <emphasis role="bold">zone3</emphasis> tcp 22 ; mark=<emphasis
role="bold">fw</emphasis></programlisting>
<para>The important point here is that, when ZONE_BITS is non-zero, you
are allowed to place zone names in the MARK column. Shorewall will
automatically replae the name with the zone's mark value.</para>
<para>Suppose that you want to forward tcp port 80 to 192.168.4.45 in
zone3:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE USER/ MARK
# PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST LIMIT GROUP
DNAT- net loc:172.168.4.45 tcp 80
ACCEPT col zone3:172.168.4.45 tcp 80 - - - - <emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis></programlisting>
<para>Rules allowing traffic from the <emphasis
role="bold">zonei</emphasis> zones to the <emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis> zone look like this:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE USER/ MARK
# PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST LIMIT GROUP
ACCEPT loc net tcp 21 - - - - <emphasis
role="bold">zone1</emphasis></programlisting>
<para>And to the firewall:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE USER/ MARK
# PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST LIMIT GROUP
ACCEPT zone2 col tcp - - - - <emphasis
role="bold">zone2</emphasis></programlisting>
