<section id="Ipsets">
<title>What are Ipsets?</title>
<para>Ipsets are an extension to Netfilter/iptables that are currently
available in Patch-O-Matic-ng (<ulink
url="http://www.netfilter.org">http://www.netfilter.org</ulink>). Using
ipsets requires that you patch your kernel and iptables and that you build
and install the ipset utility from <ulink
url="http://ipset.netfilter.org/">http://ipset.netfilter.org/</ulink>.</para>
<para>Ipset allows you to create one or more named sets of addresses then
use those sets to define Netfilter/iptables rules. Possible uses of ipsets
include:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Blacklists. Ipsets provide an efficient way to represent large
sets of addresses and you can maintain the lists without the need to
restart or even refresh your Shorewall configuration.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Zone definition. Using the /etc/shorewall/hosts file, you can
define a zone based on the (dynamic) contents of an ipset. Again, you
can then add or delete addresses to the ipset without restarting
Shorewall.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>See the ipsets site (URL above) for additional information about
ipsets.</para>
</section>
<section id="Support">
<title>Shorewall Support for Ipsets</title>
<para>Support for ipsets was introduced in Shorewall version 2.3.0. In
most places where a host or network address may be used, you may also use
the name of an ipset prefaced by "+".</para>
<para>Example: "+Mirrors"</para>
<para>When using Shorewall-perl, the names of ipsets are restricted as
follows:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>They must begin with a letter (after the '+').</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>They must be composed of letters, digits or underscores
("_").</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The name of the set may optionally followed by:</para>
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
<listitem>
<para>a number from 1 to 6 enclosed in square brackets ([]) -- this
number indicates the maximum number of ipset binding levels that are
to be matched. Depending on the context where the ipset name is used,
either all "src" or all "dst" matches will be used.</para>
<para>Example: "+Mirrors[4]"</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>a series of "src" and "dst" options separated by commas and
enclosed in square brackets ([]). These will be passed directly to
iptables in the generated --set clause. See the ipset documentation
for details.</para>
<para>Example: "+Mirrors[src,dst,src]"</para>
<para>Note that "+Mirrors[4]" used in the SOURCE column of the rules
file is equivalent to "+Mirrors[src,src,src,src]".</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>To generate a negative match, prefix the "+" with "!" as in
"!+Mirrors".</para>
<para>Example 1: Blacklist all hosts in an ipset named "blacklist"</para>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/blacklist</filename><programlisting>#ADDRESS/SUBNET PROTOCOL PORT
+blacklist</programlisting></para>
<para>Example 2: Allow SSH from all hosts in an ipset named "sshok:</para>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename><programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S)
ACCEPT +sshok $FW tcp 22</programlisting></para>
<para>If you are running Shorewall-shell:</para>
<blockquote>
<para>Shorewall can automatically manage the contents of your ipsets for
you. If you specify SAVE_IPSETS=Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
then "shorewall save" will save the contents of your ipsets. The file
where the sets are saved is formed by taking the name where the
Shorewall configuration is stored and appending "-ipsets". So if you
enter the command "shorewall save standard" then Shorewall will save the
file as /var/lib/shorewall/standard-ipsets</para>
<para>Regardless of the setting of SAVE_IPSETS, the <command>shorewall
-f start</command> and <command>shorewall restore</command> commands
will restore the ipset contents corresponding to the Shorewall
configuration restored provided that the saved Shorewall configuration
specified exists.</para>
<para>For example, <command>shorewall restore standard</command> would
restore the ipset contents from
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard-ipsets</filename> provided that
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard</filename> exists and is
executable and that
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard-ipsets</filename> exists and is
executable.</para>
<para>Also regardless of the setting of SAVE_IPSETS, the
<command>shorewall forget</command> command will purge the saved ipset
information (if any) associated with the saved shorewall configuration
being removed.</para>
<para>You can also associate ipset contents with Shorewall configuration
directories using the following command:</para>
<programlisting><command>ipset -S &gt; &lt;config directory&gt;/ipsets</command></programlisting>
<para>Example:</para>
<programlisting><command>ipset -S &gt; /etc/shorewall/ipsets</command></programlisting>
<para>When you start or restart Shorewall (including using the
<command>try</command> command) from the configuration directory, your
ipsets will be configured from the saved ipsets file. Once again, this
behavior is independent of the setting of SAVE_IPSETS.</para>
<para>As mentioned above, ipsets are well suited for large blacklists.
You can maintain your blacklist using the 'ipset' utility without ever
having to restart or refresh Shorewall. If you use the SAVE_IPSETS=Yes
feature just be sure to "shorewall save" after altering the blacklist
ipset(s).</para>
</blockquote>
<para>If you are running Shorewall-perl:</para>
<blockquote>
<para>Shorewall is now out of the ipset load/reload business. With
scripts generated by the Perl-based Compiler, the Netfilter rule set is
never cleared. That means that there is no opportunity for Shorewall to
load/reload your ipsets since that cannot be done while there are any
current rules using ipsets.</para>
<para>So:</para>
<orderedlist numeration="upperroman">
<listitem>
<para>Your ipsets must be loaded before Shorewall starts. You are
free to try to do that with the following code in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/init (it works for me; your mileage may
vary)</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>if [ "$COMMAND" = start ]; then
ipset -U :all: :all:
ipset -U :all: :default:
ipset -F
ipset -X
ipset -R &lt; /etc/shorewall/ipsets
fi</programlisting>
<para>The file <filename>/etc/shorewall/ipsets</filename> will
normally be produced using the <command>ipset -S</command>
command.</para>
<para>The above will work most of the time but will fail in a
<command>shorewall stop</command> - <command>shorewall
start</command> sequence if you use ipsets in your routestopped file
(see below).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Your ipsets may not be reloaded until Shorewall is stopped or
cleared.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you specify ipsets in your routestopped file then Shorewall
must be cleared in order to reload your ipsets.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>As a consequence, scripts generated by the Perl-based compiler
will ignore <filename>/etc/shorewall/ipsets</filename> and will issue a
warning if you set SAVE_IPSETS=Yes in
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename>.</para>
</blockquote>
<para>Example (Note -- this example is applicable to ipset versions up to
and including 2.4. In 2.5, the binding feature of ipsets is scheduled for
removal in favor of different set types that include both IP addresses and
port numbers. Check your ipset documentation):</para>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/blacklist</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#ADDRESS/SUBNET PROTOCOL PORT
+Blacklist[src,dst]
+Blacklistnets[src,dst]</programlisting>
<para>Create the blacklist ipsets using:</para>
<programlisting><command>ipset -N Blacklist iphash
ipset -N Blacklistnets nethash</command></programlisting>
<para>Add entries:</para>
<programlisting><command>ipset -A Blacklist 206.124.146.177
ipset -A Blacklistnets 206.124.147.0/24</command></programlisting>
<para>To allow entries for individual ports:</para>
<programlisting><command>ipset -N SMTP portmap --from 1 --to 31
ipset -A SMTP 25
ipset -A Blacklist 206.124.146.177
ipset -B Blacklist 206.124.146.177 -b SMTP</command></programlisting>
<para>Now only port 25 will be blocked from 206.124.146.177.</para>
</section>
<section id="Dynamic">
<title>Defining Dynamic Zones using Ipsets</title>
<para>The use of ipsets provides a much better way to define dynamic zones
than is provided by the native Shorewall implementation. To define a
dynamic zone of hosts <emphasis role="bold">dyn</emphasis> that interface
through interface eth3, use:</para>
<para>/etc/shorewall/zones:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE TYPE OPTIONS IN OPTIONS OUT OPTIONS
dyn ipv4</programlisting>
<para>/etc/shorewall/interfaces:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE OPTIONS
- eth3 …</programlisting>
<para>/etc/shorewall/hosts:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE HOSTS OPTIONS
dyn eth3:+Dyn</programlisting>
<para>Now create an ipmap named <emphasis role="bold">Dyn</emphasis> and
you're all set. You can add and delete addresses from Dyn without having
to touch Shorewall.</para>
