Introduction

Iptables separates management of IPv4 and IPv6 configurations. Each address family has its own utility (iptables and ip6tables), and changes made to the configuration of one address family do not affect the other. While Shorewall also separates the address families in this way, it is possible for Shorewall and Shorewall6 to share almost all of the configuration files. This article gives an example.

Caution

What is shown here currently works best with Debian and derivatives, or when the tarball installer is used and the SPARSE option is enabled when running configure[.pl].

Environment

In this example, each address family has two Internet interfaces. Both address families share a fast uplink (eth0) that has a single public IPv4 address, but can delegate IPv6 subnets to the Shorewall-based router. Both address families also have a production uplink. For IPv4, Ethernet is used (eth1) and supports the public IPv4 subnet 70.90.191.120/29. For IPv6, a Hurricane Electric 6in4 tunnel is used (sit1), which provides the public IPv6 subnet 2001:470:b:227::/64. The router also has two bridges. A DMZ bridge (br0) provides access to containers running a web server, a mail exchanger, and an IMAPS mail access server. The second bridge (br1) provides access to a container running irssi under screen, allowing constant access to and monitoring of IRC channels.

The firewall's local ethernet interface (eth2) is connected to a Netgear GS108E smart switch with two vlans:

  • VLAN 1 (eth2.1) is connected to a wireless access point supporting both IPv4 (172.20.1.0/24) and IPv6 (2601:601:a000:16f2::/64).

  • VLAN 2 (eth2.2) is connected to devices located in my office supporting both IPv4 (172.20.1.0/24) and IPv6 (2601:601:a000:16f2::/64).

The switch's management interface is accessed via eth2 (192.168.0.0/24).

Note

The GS108E does not currently support restricting the management interface to a particular VLAN -- it is accessible from any connected host whose IP configuration allows unrouted access to the switch's IP address.

Here is a diagram of this installation:

The boxes in the diagram represent the six shorewall zones (The firewall and IPSec vpn zone are not shown).

The various configuration files are described in the sections that follow. Note that in all cases, these files use the alternate format for column specification.

/usr/share/shorewall/shorewallrc

The key setting here is SPARSE=Very

shorewall.conf and shorewall6.conf

These are the only files that are not shared between the two address families. The key setting is CONFIG_PATH in shorewall6.conf:

CONFIG_PATH="${CONFDIR}/shorewall6:${CONFDIR}/shorewall:/usr/share/shorewall6:${SHAREDIR}/shorewall"

/etc/shorewall6/ is only used for processing the params and shorewall6.conf files.

params

Because addresses and interfaces are different between the two address families, they cannot be hard-coded in the configuration files. /etc/shorewall/params is used to set shell variables whose contents will vary between Shorewall and Shorewall6. In the params file and in run-time extension files, the shell variable g_family can be used to determine which address family to use; if IPv4, then $g_family will expand to 4 and if IPv6, $g_family will expand to 6.

The contents of /etc/shorewall/params is as follows:

#
# Set compile-time variables depending on the address family
#
if [ $g_family = 4 ]; then

Here is the /etc/shorewall/zones file:

interfaces

/etc/shorewall/interfaces makes heavy use of variables set in /etc/shorewall/params:

?FORMAT 2
###############################################################################
#ZONE	INTERFACE	OPTIONS

#
# The two address families use different production interfaces and different

# LOC_IF is the local LAN for both families
# FAST_IF is a Comcast IPv6 beta uplink which is used for internet access from the local lan for both families
# PROD_IF is the interface used by shorewall.org servers
#     For IPv4, it is eth1
#     For IPv6, it is sit1 (Hurricane Electric 6in4 link)
# DMZ_IF is a bridge to the production containers
# IRC_IF is a bridge to a container that currently runs irssi under screen

/etc/shorewall/hosts is used to define the vpn zone:

##ZONE		HOSTS				OPTIONS

The same set of policies apply to both address families:

providers

The providers file is set up to allow for three different configurations:

  1. FALLBACK -- FAST_IF is the primary interface and PROD_IF is the fallback

  2. STATISTICAL -- Statistical load balancing between FAST_IF and PROD_IF

  3. IPv4 only -- balance between FAST_IF and PROD_IF

#NAME		NUMBER   MARK    DUPLICATE  INTERFACE	GATEWAY         OPTIONS               COPY

#
# This could be cleaned up a bit, but I'm leaving it as is for now
#
#   - The two address families use different fw mark geometry
#   - The two address families use different fallback interfaces
#   - The 'balance' option doesn't work as expected in IPv6 so I have no balance configuration for Shorewall6
#   - IPv4 uses the 'loose' option on PROD_IF

rtrules

The routing rules are quite dependent on the address family:

#SOURCE             DEST             PROVIDER  PRIORITY

#
# This file ensures that the DMZ is routed out of the IF_PROD interface
# and that the IPv6 subnets delegated by the Beta router are routed out
# of the IF_FAST interface.
#
?if __IPV4
    { SOURCE=70.90.191.121,70.90.191.123,10.1.10.1 PROVIDER=ComcastB, PRIORITY=1000! }
    { SOURCE=&FAST_IF,	              	  	   PROVIDER=IPv6Beta, PRIORITY=1000! }
    { SOURCE=br0,	     		  	   PROVIDER=ComcastB, PRIORITY=11000 }
?else
    { SOURCE=2601:601:a000:1600::/64		   PROVIDER=IPv6Beta, PRIORITY=1000! }

    { SOURCE=2601:601:a000:16f0::/60	  	   PROVIDER=IPv6Beta, PRIORITY=11000 }
?endif

routes

This file is used only for IPv6:

#PROVIDER		DEST			GATEWAY		DEVICE	OPTIONS
?if __IPV6
    #
    # In my version of FOOLSM (1.0.10), the 'sourceip' option doesn't work.
    # As a result, routing rules that specify the source IPv6 address are
    # not effective in routing the 'ping' request packets out of FAST_IF.
    # The following route solves that problem.
    #
    { PROVIDER=main, DEST=2001:558:4082:d3::1/128, GATEWAY=$FAST_GATEWAY, DEVICE=FAST_IF, OPTIONS=persistent }
?endif

actions

/etc/shorewall/actions defines a single action:

#ACTION      OPTIONS            COMMENT
SSHLIMIT     proto=tcp,\	# Blacklist overzealous SSHers
	     dport=ssh

/etc/shorewall/action.SSHLIMIT:

ACCEPT { RATE=s:3/min:3 }
BLACKLIST:$LOG_LEVEL:net_SSHLIMIT

Macros

/etc/shorewall/macro.FTP:

###############################################################################
#ACTION	SOURCE	DEST	PROTO	DPORT	SPORT	ORIGDEST	RATE	USER
PARAM	-	-	tcp	21

This is just the normal Shorewall FTP macro without the helper logic -- we take care of that in the conntrack file below.

conntrack

In addition to invoking the FTP helper on TCP port 21, this file notracks some IPv4 traffic:

?FORMAT 3

/etc/shorewall/rules has only a couple of rules that are conditional based on address family:
