  <para>GRE and IPIP tunneling with Shorewall can be used to bridge two
  masqueraded networks.</para>

  <para>The simple scripts described in the <ulink url="http://ds9a.nl/lartc">Linux
  Advanced Routing and Shaping HOWTO</ulink> work fine with Shorewall.
  Shorewall also includes a tunnel script for automating tunnel configuration.
  If you have installed the RPM, the tunnel script may be found in the
  Shorewall documentation directory (usually
  /usr/share/doc/shorewall-&#60;version&#62;/).</para>

  <section>
    <title>Bridging two Masqueraded Networks</title>

    <para>Suppose that we have the following situation:</para>

    <graphic fileref="images/TwoNets1.png" />

    <para>We want systems in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork to be able to
    communicate with the systems in the 10.0.0.0/8 network. This is
    accomplished through use of the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, the
    /etc/shorewall/policy file and the /etc/shorewall/tunnel script that is
    included with Shorewall.</para>

    <para>The &#39;tunnel&#39; script is not installed in /etc/shorewall by
    default -- If you install using the tarball, the script is included in the
    tarball; if you install using the RPM, the file is in your Shorewall
    documentation directory (normally
    /usr/share/doc/shorewall-&#60;version&#62;).</para>

    <para>In the /etc/shorewall/tunnel script, set the &#39;tunnel_type&#39;
    parameter to the type of tunnel that you want to create.</para>

    <example>
      <title>/etc/shorewall/tunnel</title>

      <programlisting>tunnel_type=gre</programlisting>
    </example>

    <para>On each firewall, you will need to declare a zone to represent the
    remote subnet. We&#39;ll assume that this zone is called &#39;vpn&#39; and
    declare it in /etc/shorewall/zones on both systems as follows.</para>

    <para>On system A, the 10.0.0.0/8 will comprise the <emphasis role="bold">vpn</emphasis>

    <para>This entry in /etc/shorewall/tunnels, opens the firewall so that the
    IP encapsulation protocol (4) will be accepted to/from the remote gateway.</para>

    <para>In the tunnel script on system A:</para>

subnet=10.0.0.0/8
</programlisting>
    </example>

    <para>Similarly, On system B the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet will comprise the
    <emphasis role="bold">vpn</emphasis> zone. In /etc/shorewall/interfaces:</para>

    <para>In /etc/shorewall/tunnels on system B, we have:</para>

myrealip=134.28.54.2 (for GRE tunnel only)

hisip=192.168.1.1
gateway=206.191.148.9
subnet=192.168.1.0/24</programlisting>
    </example>

    <para>You can rename the modified tunnel scripts if you like; be sure that
    they are secured so that root can execute them.</para>

    <para>You will need to allow traffic between the &#34;vpn&#34; zone and
    the &#34;loc&#34; zone on both systems -- if you simply want to admit all
    traffic in both directions, you can use the policy file:</para>

    <table>
      <title>/etc/shorewall/policy system A &#38; B</title>

      <tgroup cols="4">

            <entry align="center">POLICY</entry>

            <entry align="center">LOG LEVEL</entry>
          </row>
        </thead>

        <tbody>
          <row>
            <entry>loc</entry>

            <entry>vpn</entry>

            <entry>ACCEPT</entry>

            <entry></entry>

            <entry></entry>
          </row>
        </tbody>
      </tgroup>
    </table>

    <para>On both systems, restart Shorewall and run the modified tunnel
    script with the &#34;start&#34; argument on each system. The systems in
    the two masqueraded subnetworks can now talk to each other</para>
