<h2><a name="Introduction"></a>1.0 Introduction</h2>
<p>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 <a
href="shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm">single-address guides</a>. 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.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="images/j0213519.gif" width="60" height="60">
��� 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.</p>
<p>Shorewall requires that the iproute/iproute2 package be installed (on
RedHat, the package is called <i>iproute</i>)<i>. </i>You can tell if
this package is installed by the presence of an <b>ip</b> program on
your firewall system. As root, you can use the 'which' command to check
for this program:</p>
<pre> [root@gateway root]# which ip<br> /sbin/ip<br> [root@gateway root]#</pre>
<p>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 <img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13"
height="13">
.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="images/j0213519.gif" width="60" height="60">
��� 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.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/51438.html">Windows
Version of dos2unix</a></li>
<li><a

of dos2unix</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 align="left"><a name="Concepts"></a>2.0 Shorewall Concepts</h2>
<p>The configuration files for Shorewall are contained in the directory /etc/shorewall
-- for most setups, you will only need to deal with a few of these as described
in this guide. Skeleton files are created during the <a
href="Install.htm">Shorewall Installation Process</a>.</p>
<p>As each file is introduced, I suggest that you look through the actual
file on your system -- each file contains detailed configuration instructions
and some contain default entries.</p>
<p>Shorewall views the network where it is running as being composed of a
set of <i>zones.</i> In the default installation, the following zone
names are used:</p>
<table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="0" id="AutoNumber2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><u><b>Name</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Description</b></u></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>net</b></td>
<td><b>The Internet</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>loc</b></td>
<td><b>Your Local Network</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>dmz</b></td>
<td><b>Demilitarized Zone</b></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Zones are defined in the <a href="Documentation.htm#Zones"> /etc/shorewall/zones</a>
file.</p>
<p>Shorewall also recognizes the firewall system as its own zone - by default,
the firewall itself is known as <b>fw</b> but that may be changed
in the <a href="Documentation.htm#Configs">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</a>
file. In this guide, the default name (<b>fw</b>) will be used.</p>
<p>With the exception of <b>fw</b>, Shorewall attaches absolutely no meaning
to zone names. Zones are entirely what YOU make of them. That means
that you should not expect Shorewall to do something special "because
this is the internet zone" or "because that is the DMZ".</p>
<p><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13" height="13">
��� Edit the /etc/shorewall/zones file and make any changes
necessary.</p>
<p>Rules about what traffic to allow and what traffic to deny are expressed
in terms of zones.</p>
<ul>
<li>You express your default policy for connections from
one zone to another zone in the<a
href="Documentation.htm#Policy"> /etc/shorewall/policy </a>file.</li>
<li>You define exceptions to those default policies in the
<a href="Documentation.htm#Rules">/etc/shorewall/rules </a>file.</li>
</ul>
<p> Shorewall is built on top of the <a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a>
kernel facility. Netfilter implements a <a
href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/%7Ejns/security/iptables/iptables_conntrack.html">connection
tracking function</a> that allows what is often referred to as <i>stateful
inspection</i> of packets. This stateful property allows firewall
rules to be defined in terms of <i>connections</i> rather than in
terms of packets. With Shorewall, you:</p>
<ol>
<li> Identify the source zone.</li>
<li> Identify the destination zone.</li>
<li> If the POLICY from the client's zone to the server's
zone is what you want for this client/server pair, you need do
nothing further.</li>
<li> If the POLICY is not what you want, then you
must add a rule. That rule is expressed in terms of the client's
zone and the server's zone.</li>
</ol>
<p> Just because connections of a particular type are allowed from zone A
to the firewall and are also allowed from the firewall to zone B <font
color="#ff6633"><b><u> DOES NOT mean that these connections are allowed
from zone A to zone B</u></b></font>. It rather means that you can
have a proxy running on the firewall that accepts a connection from
zone A and then establishes its own separate connection from the firewall
to zone B.</p>
<p>For each connection request entering the firewall, the request is first
checked against the /etc/shorewall/rules file. If no rule in that
file matches the connection request then the first policy in /etc/shorewall/policy
that matches the request is applied. If that policy is REJECT or DROP�
the request is first checked against the rules in /etc/shorewall/common.def.</p>
<p>The default /etc/shorewall/policy file has the following policies:</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
id="AutoNumber3">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><u><b>Source Zone</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Destination Zone</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Policy</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Log Level</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Limit:Burst</b></u></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>loc</td>
<td>net</td>
<td>ACCEPT</td>
<td>�</td>
<td>�</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>net</td>
<td>all</td>
<td>DROP</td>
<td>info</td>
<td>�</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>all</td>
<td>all</td>
<td>REJECT</td>
<td>info</td>
<td>�</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
<p>The above policy will:</p>
<ol>
<li>allow all connection requests from your local network
to the internet</li>
<li>drop (ignore) all connection requests from the internet
to your firewall or local network and log a message at the <i>info</i>
level (<a href="shorewall_logging.html">here</a> is a description of
log levels).</li>
<li>reject all other connection requests and log a message
at the <i>info</i> level. When a request is rejected, the firewall
will return an RST (if the protocol is TCP) or an ICMP port-unreachable
packet for other protocols.</li>
</ol>
<p><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13" height="13">
��� At this point, edit your /etc/shorewall/policy and make
any changes that you wish.</p>
<h2 align="left"><a name="Interfaces"></a>3.0 Network Interfaces</h2>
<p align="left">For the remainder of this guide, we'll refer to the following
diagram. While it may not look like your own network, it can be used
to illustrate the important aspects of Shorewall configuration.</p>
<p align="left">In this diagram:</p>
<ul>
<li>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 that if one of those servers is compromised, you still have
the firewall between the compromised system and your local systems. </li>
<li>The Local Zone consists of systems Local 1, Local 2 and
Local 3. </li>
<li>All systems from the ISP outward comprise the Internet
Zone. </li>
</ul>
<p align="center"> <img border="0" src="images/dmz3.png" width="692"
height="635">
</p>
<p align="left">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 <a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a> file.</p>
<p align="left">The firewall illustrated above has three network interfaces.
Where Internet connectivity is through a cable or DSL "Modem", the
<i>External Interface</i> will be the Ethernet adapter that is connected
to that "Modem" (e.g., <b>eth0</b>)� <u>unless</u> you connect via <i><u>P</u>oint-to-<u>P</u>oint
<u>P</u>rotocol over <u>E</u>thernet</i> (PPPoE) or <i><u>P</u>oint-to-<u>P</u>oint
<u>T</u>unneling <u>P</u>rotocol </i>(PPTP) in which case the External
Interface will be a ppp interface (e.g., <b>ppp0</b>). If you connect
via a regular modem, your External Interface will also be <b>ppp0</b>.
If you connect using ISDN, you external interface will be <b>ippp0.</b></p>
<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_1.gif" width="13"
height="13">
��� If your external interface is <b>ppp0</b> or <b>ippp0 </b>then
you will want to set CLAMPMSS=yes in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf"> /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.</a></p>
<p align="left">Your <i>Local Interface</i> will be an Ethernet adapter (eth0,
eth1 or eth2) 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 <i>cross-over </i> cable).</p>
<p align="left">Your <i>DMZ Interface</i> will also be an Ethernet adapter
(eth0, eth1 or eth2) 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 <i>cross-over </i> cable).</p>
<p align="left"><u><b> <img border="0" src="images/j0213519.gif"
width="60" height="60">
</b></u>Do not connect more than one interface to the same
hub or switch (even for testing). It won't work the way that you expect
it to and you will end up confused and believing that Linux networking
doesn't work at all.</p>
<p align="left">For the remainder of this Guide, we will assume that:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">The external interface is <b>eth0</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">The Local interface is <b>eth1</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">The DMZ interface is <b>eth2</b>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="left">The Shorewall default configuration does not define the contents
of any zone. To define the above configuration using the /etc/shorewall/interfaces
file, that file would might contain:</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
id="AutoNumber4">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><u><b>Zone</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Interface</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Broadcast</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Options</b></u></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>net</td>
<td>eth0</td>
<td>detect</td>
<td>norfc1918</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>loc</td>
<td>eth1</td>
<td>detect</td>
<td>�</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>dmz</td>
<td>eth2</td>
<td>detect</td>
<td>�</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_2.gif" width="13"
height="13">
��� Edit the /etc/shorewall/interfaces 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.</p>
<p align="left">Example:</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
id="AutoNumber4">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><u><b>Zone</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Interface</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Broadcast</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>Options</b></u></td>

<tr>
<td>net</td>
<td>eth0</td>
<td>detect</td>
<td>norfc1918</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>loc</td>
<td>eth1</td>
<td>detect</td>
<td>�</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>loc</td>
<td>eth2</td>
<td>detect</td>
<td>dhcp</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">When you have more than one interface to a zone, you will
usually want a policy that permits intra-zone traffic:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_2.gif" width="13"

��� You may define more complicated zones using the <a
href="Documentation.htm#Hosts">/etc/shorewall/hosts</a> file but in most
cases, that isn't necessary.</p>
<h2 align="left"><a name="Addressing"></a>4.0 Addressing, Subnets and Routing</h2>
<p align="left">Normally, your ISP will assign you a set of <i> Public</i>
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.</p>
<p align="left">If you are thoroughly familiar with IP addressing and routing,
you may <a href="#Options">go to the next section</a>.</p>
<p align="left">The following discussion barely scratches the surface of addressing
and routing. If you are interested in learning more about this subject,
I highly recommend <i>"IP Fundamentals: What Everyone Needs to Know about
Addressing & Routing",</i> Thomas A. Maufer, Prentice-Hall, 1999, ISBN
0-13-975483-0.</p>
<h3 align="left"><a name="Addresses"></a>4.1 IP Addresses</h3>
<p align="left">IP version 4 (<i>IPv4) </i>addresses are 32-bit numbers.
The notation w.x.y.z refers to an address where the high-order byte
has value "w", the next byte has value "x", etc. If we take the address
192.0.2.14 and express it in hexadecimal, we get:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">C0.00.02.0E</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">or looking at it as a 32-bit integer</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">C000020E</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 align="left"><a name="Subnets"></a>4.2 Subnets</h3>
<p align="left">You will still hear the terms "Class A network", "Class B
network" and "Class C network". In the early days of IP, networks
only came in three sizes (there were also Class D networks but they
were used differently):</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">Class A - netmask 255.0.0.0, size = 2 ** 24</p>
<p align="left">Class B - netmask 255.255.0.0, size = 2 ** 16</p>
<p align="left">Class C - netmask 255.255.255.0, size = 256</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">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 <i>netmask</i>. The netmask
is a number that when logically ANDed with an address isolates the <i>network
number</i>; the remainder of the address is the <i>host number</i>.
For example, in the Class C address 192.0.2.14, the network number is
hex C00002 and the host number is hex 0E.</p>
<p align="left">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 <i>subnetting</i> these
networks into smaller <i>subnetworks</i> evolved; that technique is referred
to as�<i>Classless InterDomain Routing</i> (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.</p>
<p align="left">A <i>subnetwork</i> (often referred to as a <i>subnet) </i>is
a contiguous set of IP addresses such that:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p align="left">The number of addresses in the set is a power of 2; and</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">The first address in the set is a multiple of the set
size.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">The first address in the subnet is reserved and is referred
to as the <i> subnet address.</i></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">The last address in the subnet is reserved as the <i>subnet's
broadcast address.</i></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p align="left">As you can see by this definition, in each subnet of size
<b>n</b> there are (<b>n</b> - 2) usable addresses (addresses that
can be assigned to hosts). The first and last address in the subnet
are used for the subnet address and subnet broadcast address respectively.
Consequently, small subnetworks are more wasteful of IP addresses
than are large ones. </p>
<p align="left">Since <b>n</b> is a power of two, we can easily calculate
the <i>Natural Logarithm</i> (<b>log2</b>) of <b>n</b>. For the more
common subnet sizes, the size and its natural logarithm are given in
the following table:</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
id="AutoNumber5">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><u><b>n</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>log2 n</b></u></td>
<td><u><b>(32 - log2 n)</b></u></td>

</blockquote>
<p align="left">You will notice that the above table also contains a column
for (32 - log2 <b>n</b>). That number is the <i>Variable Length
Subnet Mask</i> for a network of size <b>n</b>. From the above table,
we can derive the following one which is a little easier to use.</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"

<p align="left">Notice that the VLSM is written with a slash ("/") -- you
will often hear a subnet of size 64 referred to as a "slash 26"
subnet and one of size 8 referred to as a "slash 29".</p>
<p align="left">The subnet's mask (also referred to as its <i>netmask) </i>is
simply a 32-bit number with the first "VLSM" bits set to one and
the remaining bits set to zero. For example, for a subnet of size
64, the subnet mask has 26 leading one bits:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">11111111111111111111111111000000 = FFFFFFC0 = FF.FF.FF.C0
= 255.255.255.192</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">The 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.</p>
<p align="left">For a subnetwork whose address is <b>a.b.c.d</b> and whose
Variable Length Subnet Mask is <b>/v</b>, we denote the subnetwork
as "<b>a.b.c.d/v</b>" using <i>CIDR</i> <i>Notation</i>.� </p>
<p align="left">Example:</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="AutoNumber1"
cellpadding="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b>Subnet:</b></td>
<td>10.10.10.0 - 10.10.10.127</td>

<tr>
<td><b>Subnet Size:</b></td>
<td>128</td>

<tr>
<td><b>Subnet Address:</b></td>
<td>10.10.10.0</td>

<tr>
<td><b>Broadcast Address:</b></td>
<td>10.10.10.127</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>CIDR�Notation:</b></td>
<td>10.10.10.0/25</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">There are two degenerate subnets that need mentioning; namely,
the subnet with one member and the subnet with 2 ** 32 members.</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
id="AutoNumber5">

<p align="left">So any address <b>a.b.c.d </b>may also be written <b> a.b.c.d/32</b>
and the set of all possible IP addresses is written <b>0.0.0.0/0</b>.</p>
<p align="left">Later in this guide, you will see the notation <b>a.b.c.d/v</b>
used to describe the ip configuration of a network interface (the
'ip' utility also uses this syntax). This simply means that the interface
is configured with ip address <b>a.b.c.d</b> and with the netmask that
corresponds to VLSM <b>/v</b>.</p>

<h3 align="left"><a name="Routing"></a>4.3 Routing</h3>
<p align="left">One of the purposes of subnetting is that it forms the basis
for routing. Here's the routing table on my firewall:</p>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<pre>[root@gateway root]# netstat -nr<br>Kernel IP routing table<br>Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface<br>192.168.9.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 texas<br>206.124.146.177 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 eth1<br>206.124.146.180 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 eth3<br>192.168.3.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth3<br>192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1<br>192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth2<br>206.124.146.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0<br>192.168.9.0 192.0.2.223 255.255.255.0 UG 40 0 0 texas<br>127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo<br>0.0.0.0 206.124.146.254 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0<br>[root@gateway root]#</pre>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p align="left">The device <i>texas</i> is a GRE tunnel to a peer site in
the Dallas, Texas area.<br>
<br>
The first three routes are <i>host routes</i> since they indicate
how to get to a single host. In the 'netstat' output this can be seen
by the "Genmask" (Subnet Mask) of 255.255.255.255 and the "H" in the
Flags column. The remainder are 'net' routes since they tell the kernel
how to route packets to a subnetwork. The last route is the <i>default
route</i> and the gateway mentioned in that route is called the <i>default
gateway</i>.</p>
<p align="left">When the kernel is trying to send a packet to IP address <b>A</b>,
it starts at the top of the routing table and:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left"><b>A</b> is logically ANDed with the 'Genmask' value in
the table entry.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">The result is compared with the 'Destination' value in
the table entry.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">If the result and the 'Destination' value are the same,
then:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">If the 'Gateway' column is non-zero, the packet is
sent to the gateway over the interface named in the 'Iface' column.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">Otherwise, the packet is sent directly to <b>A </b>over
the interface named in the 'iface' column.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">Otherwise, the above steps are repeated on the next entry
in the table.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="left">Since the default route matches any IP address (<b>A</b> land
0.0.0.0 = 0.0.0.0), packets that don't match any of the other routing table
entries are sent to the <i>default gateway</i> which is usually a router
at your ISP.</p>
<p align="left">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:</p>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<pre>192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth2</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>So to route a packet to 192.168.1.5, the packet is sent directly over eth2.</p>
</div>
<p align="left">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.</p>
<h3 align="left"><a name="ARP"></a>4.4 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)</h3>
<p align="left">When sending packets over Ethernet, IP addresses aren't used.
Rather Ethernet addressing is based on <i>Media Access Control</i>
(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 'ip' utility:</p>
<blockquote>
<div align="left">
<pre>[root@gateway root]# ip addr show eth0<br>2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc htb qlen 100<br>link/ether <u>02:00:08:e3:fa:55</u> brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff<br>inet 206.124.146.176/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global eth0<br>inet 206.124.146.178/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global secondary eth0<br>inet 206.124.146.179/24 brd 206.124.146.255 scope global secondary eth0<br>[root@gateway root]#</pre>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">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. </p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">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 <i>Address Resolution Protocol</i> (ARP).
Here is ARP in action:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<div align="left">
<pre>[root@gateway root]# tcpdump -nei eth2 arp<br>tcpdump: listening on eth2<br>09:56:49.766757 2:0:8:e3:4c:48 0:6:25:aa:8a:f0 arp 42: arp who-has 192.168.1.19 tell 192.168.1.254<br>09:56:49.769372 0:6:25:aa:8a:f0 2:0:8:e3:4c:48 arp 60: arp reply 192.168.1.19 is-at 0:6:25:aa:8a:f0<br><br>2 packets received by filter<br>0 packets dropped by kernel<br>[root@gateway root]#<br></pre>
</div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p align="left">In this exchange, 192.168.1.254 (MAC 2:0:8:e3:4c:48) wants
to know the MAC of the device with IP address 192.168.1.19. The system
having that IP address is responding that the MAC address of the device
with IP address 192.168.1.19 is 0:6:25:aa:8a:f0.</p>
<p align="left">In order to avoid having to exchange ARP information each
time that an IP packet is to be sent, systems maintain an <i>ARP cache</i>
of IP<->MAC correspondences. You can see the ARP cache on your
system (including your Windows system) using the 'arp' command:</p>
<blockquote>
<div align="left">
<pre>[root@gateway root]# arp -na<br>? (206.124.146.177) at 00:A0:C9:15:39:78 [ether] on eth1<br>? (192.168.1.3) at 00:A0:CC:63:66:89 [ether] on eth2<br>?

</div>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">The leading question marks are a result of my having specified
the 'n' option (Windows 'arp' doesn't allow that option) which causes
the 'arp' program to forego IP->DNS name translation. Had I not
given that option, the question marks would have been replaced with
the FQDN corresponding to each IP address. Notice that the last entry
in the table records the information we saw using tcpdump above.</p>
<h3 align="left"><a name="RFC1918"></a>4.5 RFC 1918</h3>
<p align="left">IP addresses are allocated by the <i> <a
href="http://www.iana.org">Internet Assigned Number Authority</a> </i>(IANA)
who delegates allocations on a geographic basis to <i>Regional Internet
Registries</i> (RIRs). For example, allocation for the Americas and
for sub-Sahara Africa is delegated to the <i><a
href="http://www.arin.net">American Registry for Internet Numbers</a>
</i>(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.</p>
<p align="left">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 <i> Private </i>IP addresses. RFC 1918 reserves several IP address ranges
for this purpose:</p>
<div align="left">
<pre> 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255<br> 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255<br> 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255</pre>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">The addresses reserved by RFC 1918 are sometimes referred
to as <i>non-routable</i> 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.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">When selecting addresses from these ranges, there's a couple
of things to keep in mind:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">As the IPv4 address space becomes depleted, more and more
organizations (including ISPs) are beginning to use RFC 1918 addresses
in their infrastructure. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">You don't want to use addresses that are being used by
your ISP or by another organization with whom you want to establish
a VPN relationship. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">So it's a good idea to check with your ISP to see if they
are using (or are planning to use) private addresses before you
decide the addresses that you are going to use.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<h2 align="left"><a name="Options"></a>5.0 Setting up your Network</h2>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">The choice of how to set up your network depends primarily
on how many Public IP addresses you have vs. how many addressable
entities you have in your network. Regardless of how many addresses
you have, your ISP will handle that set of addresses in one of two
ways:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<ol>
<li>
<p align="left"><b>Routed - </b>Traffic to any of your addresses will
be routed through a single <i>gateway address</i>. This will generally
only be done if your ISP has assigned you a complete subnet (/29
or larger). In this case, you will assign the gateway address as the
IP address of your firewall/router's external interface. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left"><b>Non-routed - </b>Your ISP will send traffic to each
of your addresses directly. </p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">In the subsections that follow, we'll look at each of these
separately.<br>
</p>
<p align="left">Before we begin, there is one thing for you to check:</p>
<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13"
height="13" alt="">
��� If you are using the Debian package, please check your shorewall.conf
file to ensure that the following are set correctly; if they are not,
change them appropriately:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>NAT_ENABLED=Yes (Shorewall versions earlier than 1.4.6)</li>
<li>IP_FORWARDING=On<br>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div align="left">
<h3 align="left"><a name="Routed"></a>5.1 Routed</h3>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">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.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="center"> <img border="0" src="images/dmz4.png" width="726"
height="635">
</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">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.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">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.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">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:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<pre>Kernel IP routing table<br>Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface<br>192.0.2.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 40 0 0 eth0<br>0.0.0.0 192.0.2.66 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0</pre>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">This means that DMZ 1 will send an ARP "who-has 192.0.2.65"
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 <u>DMZ Interface!!</u> DMZ 1 can then send Ethernet
frames addressed to that MAC address and the frames will be received
(correctly) by the firewall/router.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">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 "here-is" response reaches the sender first.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<h3 align="left"><a name="NonRouted"></a>5.2 Non-routed</h3>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">If you have the above situation but it is non-routed, you
can configure your network exactly as described above with one additional
twist; simply specify the "proxyarp" option on all three firewall
interfaces in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Most of us don't have the luxury of having enough public IP
addresses to set up our networks as shown in the preceding example (even
if the setup is routed). </p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left"><b>For the remainder of this section, assume that your ISP
has assigned you IP addresses 192.0.2.176-180 and has told you to

</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Clearly, that set of addresses doesn't comprise a subnetwork
and there aren't enough addresses for all of the network interfaces.
There are four different techniques that can be used to work around
this problem.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left"><i>Source Network Address Translation </i>(SNAT).
</p>

also known as <i>Port Forwarding.</i> </p>

<p align="left"><i>Network Address Translation</i> (NAT) also referred
to as <i>Static NAT</i>. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Often a combination of these techniques is used. Each of these
will be discussed in the sections that follow.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<h4 align="left"><a name="SNAT"></a>�5.2.1 SNAT</h4>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">With SNAT, an internal LAN segment is configured using RFC
1918 addresses. When a host <b>A </b>on this internal segment initiates
a connection to host <b>B</b> on the internet, the firewall/router
rewrites the IP header in the request to use one of your public IP
addresses as the source address. When <b>B</b> responds and the response
is received by the firewall, the firewall changes the destination address
back to the RFC 1918 address of <b>A</b> and forwards the response back
to <b>A.</b></p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Let's suppose that you decide to use SNAT on your local zone
and use public address 192.0.2.176 as both your firewall's external
IP address and the source IP address of internet requests sent from
that zone.</p>

<p align="left">This example used the normal technique of assigning the same
public IP address for the firewall external interface and for SNAT.
If you wanted to use a different IP address, you would either have
to use your distributions network configuration tools to add that IP
address to the external interface or you could set ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes
in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and Shorewall will add the address for
you.</p>

<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 <net if> <newly
proxied IP></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>
</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 192.0.2.177. 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 192.0.2.177, ping the ISP's gateway (which we
will assume is 192.0.2.254):</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<pre> <b><font color="#009900">ping 192.0.2.254</font></b></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">We can now observe the tcpdump output:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">

</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 DMZ 1. In other words, the
gateway's ARP cache still associates 192.0.2.177 with the NIC in
DMZ 1 rather than with the firewall's eth0.</p>

<h4 align="left"><a name="NAT"></a>5.2.4 Static NAT</h4>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">With static 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
Network Address Translation) occurs. Let's go back to our earlier example
involving your daughter's web server running on system Local 3.</p>

<p align="left">Given the collection of RFC 1918 and public addresses in this
setup, it only makes sense to have separate internal and external DNS
servers. You can combine the two into a single BIND 9 server using <i>Views.

<p align="left">Suppose that your domain is foobar.net and you want the two
DMZ systems named www.foobar.net and mail.foobar.net and you want
the three local systems named "winken.foobar.net, blinken.foobar.net
and nod.foobar.net. You want your firewall to be known as firewall.foobar.net
externally and it's interface to the local network to be know as gateway.foobar.net
and its interface to the dmz as dmz.foobar.net. Let's have the DNS
server on 192.0.2.177 which will also be known by the name ns1.foobar.net.</p>
