SHOREWALL6-PROVIDER(5) [FIXME: manual] SHOREWALL6-PROVIDER(5)NAME
providers - Shorewall6 Providers file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall6/providers
DESCRIPTION
This file is used to define additional routing tables. You will want to
define an additional table if:
· You have connections to more than one ISP or multiple connections
to the same ISP
· You run Squid as a transparent proxy on a host other than the
firewall.
· You have other requirements for policy routing.
Each entry in the file defines a single routing table.
If you wish to omit a column entry but want to include an entry in the
next column, use "-" for the omitted entry.
The columns in the file are as follows.
NAME - name
The provider name. Must be a valid shell variable name. The names
'local', 'main', 'default' and 'unspec' are reserved and may not be
used as provider names.
NUMBER - number
The provider number -- a number between 1 and 15. Each provider
must be assigned a unique value.
MARK (Optional) - value
A FWMARK value used in your shorewall6-tcrules(5)[1] file to direct
packets to this provider.
If HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes in shorewall6.conf(5)[2], then the value
must be a multiple of 256 between 256 and 65280 or their
hexadecimal equivalents (0x0100 and 0xff00 with the low-order byte
of the value being zero). Otherwise, the value must be between 1
and 255. Each provider must be assigned a unique mark value. This
column may be omitted if you don't use packet marking to direct
connections to a particular provider.
DUPLICATE - routing-table-name
The name of an existing table to duplicate to create this routing
table. May be main or the name of a previously listed provider. You
may select only certain entries from the table to copy by using the
COPY column below.
INTERFACE - interface
The name of the network interface to the provider. Must be listed
in shorewall6-interfaces(5)[3].
GATEWAY - {-|address|detect}
The IP address of the provider's gateway router.
You can enter "detect" here and Shorewall6 will attempt to detect
the gateway automatically.
For PPP devices, you may omit this column.
OPTIONS (Optional) - [-|option[,option]...]
A comma-separated list selected from the following. The order of
the options is not significant but the list may contain no embedded
white-space.
autosrc
Added in Shorewall 4.5.17. Causes a host route to the
provider's gateway router to be added to the provider's routing
table. This is the default behavior unless overridden by a
following noautosrc option.
balance
Added in Shorewall 4.4.25. Causes a default route to this
provider's gateway to be added to the main routing table
(USE_DEFAULT_RT=No) or to the balance routing table
(USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes). At most one provider can specify this
option.
fallback
Added in Shorewall 4.4.25. Causes a default route to this
provider's gateway to be added to the default routing table.At
most one provider can specify this option.
track
If specified, inbound connections on this interface are to be
tracked so that responses may be routed back out this same
interface.
You want to specify track if internet hosts will be connecting
to local servers through this provider.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.3, track defaults to the setting
of the TRACK_PROVIDERS option in shorewall6.conf[4] (5). If you
set TRACK_PROVIDERS=Yes and want to override that setting for
an individual provider, then specify notrack (see below).
loose
Shorewall6 normally adds a routing rule for each IP address on
an interface which forces traffic whose source is that IP
address to be sent using the routing table for that interface.
Setting loose prevents creation of such rules on this
interface.
noautosrc
Added in Shorewall 4.5.17. Prevents the addition of a host
route to the provider's gateway router from being added to the
provider's routing table. This option must be used with caution
as it can cause start and restart failures.
notrack
Added in Shorewall 4.4.3. When specified, turns off track.
optional (deprecated for use with providers that do not share an
interface)
If the interface named in the INTERFACE column is not up and
configured with an IPv4 address then ignore this provider. If
not specified, the value of the optional option for the
INTERFACE in shorewall6-interfaces(5)[3] is assumed. Use of
that option is preferred to this one, unless an address is
provider in the INTERFACE column.
src=source-address
Specifies the source address to use when routing to this
provider and none is known (the local client has bound to the 0
address). May not be specified when an address is given in the
INTERFACE column. If this option is not used, Shorewall6
substitutes the primary IP address on the interface named in
the INTERFACE column.
mtu=number
Specifies the MTU when forwarding through this provider. If not
given, the MTU of the interface named in the INTERFACE column
is assumed.
tproxy
Added in Shorewall 4.5.4. Used for supporting the TPROXY action
in shorewall-tcrules(5). See
http://www.shorewall.net/Shorewall_Squid_Usage.html. When
specified, the MARK, DUPLICATE and GATEWAY columns should be
empty, INTERFACE should be set to 'lo' and tproxy should be the
only OPTION. Only one tproxy provider is allowed.
hostroute
Added in Shorewall 4.5.21. This is the default behavior that
results in a host route to the defined GATEWAY being inserted
into the main routing table and into the provider's routing
table. hostroute is required for older distributions but
nohostroute (below) is appropriate for recent distributions.
hostroute may interfere with Zebra's ability to add routes on
some distributions such as Debian 7.
nohostroute
Added in Shorewall 4.5.21. nohostroute inhibits addition of a
host route to the defined GATEWAY being inserted into the main
routing table and into the provider's routing table.
nohostroute is not appropriate for older distributions but is
appropriate for recent distributions. nohostroute allows
Zebra's to correctly add routes on some distributions such as
Debian 7.
COPY - [{none|interface[,interface]...}]
A comma-separated list of other interfaces on your firewall.
Wildcards specified using an asterisk ("*") are permitted (e.g.,
tun* ). Usually used only when DUPLICATE is main. Only copy routes
through INTERFACE and through interfaces listed here. If you only
wish to copy routes through INTERFACE, enter none in this column.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.17, blackhole, unreachable and
prohibit routes are no longer copied by default but may be copied
by including blackhole,unreachable and prohibit respectively in the
COPY list.
EXAMPLES
Example 1:
You run squid in your DMZ on IP address 2002:ce7c:92b4:1::2. Your
DMZ interface is eth2
#NAME NUMBER MARK DUPLICATE INTERFACE GATEWAY OPTIONS
Squid 1 1 - eth2 2002:ce7c:92b4:1::2 -
Example 2:
eth0 connects to ISP 1. The ISP's gateway router has IP address
2001:ce7c:92b4:1::2.
eth1 connects to ISP 2. The ISP's gateway router has IP address
2001:d64c:83c9:12::8b.
eth2 connects to a local network.
#NAME NUMBER MARK DUPLICATE INTERFACE GATEWAY OPTIONS COPY
ISP1 1 1 main eth0 2001:ce7c:92b4:1::2 track eth2
ISP2 2 2 main eth1 2001:d64c:83c9:12::8b track eth2
