<h1 style="text-align: center;">Shorewall and Aliased Interfaces<br>
</h1>
<h2>Background</h2>
The traditional net-tools contain a program called <i>ifconfig</i>
which is used to configure network devices. ifconfig introduced the
concept of <i>aliased </i>or <i>virtual </i>interfaces. These
virtual
interfaces have names of the form <i>interface</i>:<i>integer </i>(e.g.,
eth0:0) and ifconfig treats them more or less like real interfaces.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<pre>[root@gateway root]# ifconfig eth0:0<br>eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:00:08:3:FA:55<br> inet addr:206.124.146.178 Bcast:206.124.146.255 Mask:255.255.255.0<br> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1<br> Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000<br>[root@gateway root]# <br></pre>
The ifconfig utility is being gradually phased out in favor of the <i>ip</i>
utility which is part of the <i>iproute </i>package. The ip utility
does not use the concept of aliases or virtual interfaces but rather
treats additional addresses on an interface as objects in their own
right.
The ip utility does provide for interaction with ifconfig in that it
allows
addresses to be <i>labeled </i>where these labels take the form of
ipconfig
virtual interfaces.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
<pre>[root@gateway root]# ip addr show dev eth0<br>2: eth0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc htb qlen 100<br> link/ether 02:00:08:e3:fa:55 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 eth0:0<br>[root@gateway root]# <br></pre>
Note that one <u>cannot</u> type "ip addr show dev eth0:0" because
"eth0:0" is a label for a particular address rather than a device name.<br>
<pre>[root@gateway root]# ip addr show dev eth0:0<br>Device "eth0:0" does not exist.<br>[root@gateway root]#<br></pre>
The iptables program doesn't support virtual interfaces in either it's
"-i" or "-o" command options; as a consequence, Shorewall does not
allow them to be used in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file or anywhere
else except as described in the discussion below. <br>
<br>
<h2>Adding Addresses to Interfaces</h2>
Most distributions have a facility for adding additional addresses to
interfaces. If you have already used your distribution's capability to
add your required addresses, you can skip this section. <br>
<br>
Shorewall provides facilities for automatically adding addresses to
interfaces
as described in the following section. It is also easy to add them
yourself
using the <b>ip</b> utility. The above alias was added using:<br>
<blockquote><b><font color="#009900">ip addr add 206.124.146.178/24 brd
206.124.146.255
dev eth0 label eth0:0</font></b><br>
</blockquote>
You probably want to arrange to add these addresses when the device is
started
rather than placing commands like the above in one of the Shorewall
extension
scripts. For example, on RedHat systems, you can place the commands in
/sbin/ifup-local:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>#!/bin/sh<br><br>case $1 in<br> eth0)<br> /sbin/ip addr add 206.124.146.177 dev eth0 label eth0:0<br> ;;<br>esac&nbsp;<br></pre>
</blockquote>
RedHat systems also allow adding such aliases from the network
administration
GUI (which only works well if you have a graphical environment on your
firewall).<br>
<h2>So how do I handle more than one address on an interface?</h2>
The answer depends on what you are trying to do with the interfaces. In
the sub-sections that follow, we'll take a look at common scenarios.<br>
<h3>Separate Rules</h3>
If you need to make a rule for traffic to/from the firewall itself that
only applies to a particular IP address, simply qualify the $FW zone
with the IP address.<br>
<br>
Example (allow SSH from net to eth0:0 above):<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<table cellpadding="2" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>ACTION<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>SOURCE<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>DESTINATION<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>PROTOCOL<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>PORT(S)<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>SOURCE PORT(S)<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>ORIGINAL DESTINATION<br>
</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">ACCEPT<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">net<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">$FW:206.124.146.178<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">tcp<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">22<br>
</td>
<td valign="top"><br>
</td>
<td valign="top"><br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
</blockquote>
<h3>DNAT</h3>
Suppose that I had set up eth0:0 as above and I wanted to port
forward from that virtual interface to a web server running in my local
zone at 192.168.1.3. That is accomplised by a single rule in the
/etc/shorewall/rules file:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<table cellpadding="2" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>ACTION<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>SOURCE<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>DESTINATION<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>PROTOCOL<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>PORT(S)<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>SOURCE PORT(S)<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>ORIGINAL DESTINATION<br>
</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">DNAT<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">net<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">loc:192.168.1.3<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">tcp<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">80<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">-<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">206.124.146.178<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
</blockquote>
<h3>SNAT</h3>
If you wanted to use eth0:0 as the IP address for outbound connections
from your local zone (eth1), then in /etc/shorewall/masq:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>INTERFACE<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>SUBNET<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>ADDRESS<br>
</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">eth0<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">eth1<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">206.124.146.178<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
</blockquote>
Shorewall can create the alias (additional address) for you if
you set ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.
Beginning
with Shorewall 1.3.14, Shorewall can actually create the "label"
(virtual
interface) so that you can see the created address using ifconfig. In
addition to setting ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes, you specify the virtual
interface
name in the INTERFACE column as follows:<br>
<blockquote>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>INTERFACE<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>SUBNET<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>ADDRESS<br>
</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">eth0:0<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">eth1<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">206.124.146.178<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
Shorewall can also set up SNAT to round-robin over a range of IP
addresses. Do do that, you specify a range of IP addresses in the
ADDRESS column. If you specify a label in the INTERFACE column,
Shorewall will use that label for the first address of the range and
will increment the label by one for each subsequent label.<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>INTERFACE<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>SUBNET<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>ADDRESS<br>
</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">eth0:0<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">eth1<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">206.124.146.178-206.124.146.180<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
The above would create three IP addresses:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; eth0:0 = 206.124.146.178<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; eth0:1 = 206.124.146.179<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; eth0:2 = 206.124.146.180<br>
<h3>One-to-one NAT</h3>
If you wanted to use one-to-one NAT to link eth0:0 with local address
192.168.1.3, you would have the following in /etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>EXTERNAL<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>INTERFACE<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>INTERNAL<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>ALL INTERFACES<br>
</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>LOCAL<br>
</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">206.124.146.178<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">eth0<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">192.168.1.3<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">no<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">no<br>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>

</td>
<td valign="top">no<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">no<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
</blockquote>
In either case, to create rules that pertain only to this NAT pair, you
simply qualify the local zone with the internal IP address.<br>
<br>
Example: You want to allow SSH from the net to 206.124.146.178 a.k.a.
192.168.1.3.<br>
<br>

<h3>MULTIPLE SUBNETS</h3>
Sometimes multiple IP addresses are used because there are multiple
subnetworks configured on a LAN segment. This technique does not
provide for any security between the subnetworks if the users of the
systems have administrative privileges because in that case, the users
can simply manipulate their system's routing table to bypass your
firewall/router. Nevertheless, there are cases where you simply want to
consider the LAN segment itself as a zone and allow your
firewall/router to route between the two subnetworks.<br>
<br>
Example 1: &nbsp;Local interface eth1 interfaces to 192.168.1.0/24 and
192.168.20.0/24. The primary IP address of eth1 is 192.168.1.254
and eth1:0 is 192.168.20.254. You want to simply route all requests
between the two subnetworks.<br>
