|
|
The MACLIST_DISPOSITION variable has the value DROP, REJECT or ACCEPT
|
|
and determines the disposition of connection requests that fail MAC
|
|
verification. The MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL variable gives the syslogd level
|
|
at which connection requests that fail verification are to be logged.
|
|
If set the the empty value (e.g., MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL="") then
|
|
failing connection requests are not logged.</para>

like a wireless router with DHCP relay. When forwarding DHCP traffic, it

<title>Router in Wireless Zone</title>
|

|
|
<para>Suppose now that I add a second wireless segment to my wireless
|
|
zone and gateway that segment via a router with MAC address
|
|
00:06:43:45:C6:15 and IP address 192.168.3.253. Hosts in the second
|
|
segment have IP addresses in the subnet 192.168.4.0/24. I would add the
|
|
following entry to my /etc/shorewall/maclist file:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>eth3 00:06:43:45:C6:15 192.168.3.253,192.168.4.0/24</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>This entry accomodates traffic from the router itself
|
|
(192.168.3.253) and from the second wireless segment (192.168.4.0/24).
|
|
Remember that all traffic being sent to my firewall from the
|
|
192.168.4.0/24 segment will be forwarded by the router so that
|
|
traffic's MAC address will be that of the router (00:06:43:45:C6:15)
|
|
and not that of the host sending the traffic.</para>
