### Caution

This article applies to Shorewall 4.0 and later. If you are running a version of Shorewall earlier than Shorewall 4.0.0 then please see the documentation for that release.

## Before Xen

Prior to adopting Xen, I had a home office crowded with 5 systems, three monitors a scanner and a printer. The systems were:

1. Firewall

2. Public Server in a DMZ (mail)

3. Private Server (wookie)

4. My personal Linux Desktop (ursa)

5. My work system (docked laptop running Windows XP).

The result was a very crowded and noisy room.

## After Xen

Xen has allowed me to reduce the noise and clutter considerably. I now have three systems with two monitors. I've also replaced the individual printer and scanner with a Multifunction FAX/Scanner/Printer.

The systems now include:

1. Combination Firewall/Public Server/Private Server/Wireless Gateway using Xen (created by building out my Linux desktop system -- Now replaced by a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion a1510y).

2. My work system.

3. My Linux desktop (wookie, which is actually the old public server box)

The Linux systems run either OpenSuSE ™10.3 or Ubuntu™ "Gutsy Gibbon".

Here is a high-level diagram of our network.

As shown in this diagram, the Xen system has three physical network interfaces. These are:

- `eth0` -- connected to our DSL "Modem".

- `eth1` -- connected to the switch in my office.

- `eth2` -- connected to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) that interfaces to our wireless network.

There are three Xen domains.

1. Dom0 (DNS name gateway.shorewall.net) is used as our main firewall and wireless gateway as well as a local file server. It hosts Squid running as a transparent HTTP proxy and a DHCP server that manages IP address assignment for both the LAN and the Wireless network.

2. A DomU (Domain name lists, DNS name lists.shorewall.net) that is used as a public Web/FTP/Mail/DNS server.

3. A DomU (Domain name test, DNS name test.shorewall.net) that I use for Shorewall testing.

Shorewall runs in Dom0.

### Caution

As the developer of Shorewall, I have enough experience to be very comfortable with Linux networking and Shorewall/iptables. I arrived at this configuration after a fair amount of trial and error experimentation (see Xen and the art of Consolidation). If you are a Linux networking novice, I recommend that you do not attempt a configuration like this one for your first Shorewall installation. You are very likely to frustrate both yourself and the Shorewall support team. Rather I suggest that you start with something simple like a standalone installation in a DomU; once you are comfortable with that then you will be ready to try something more substantial.

As Paul Gear says: Shorewall might make iptables easy, but it doesn't make understanding fundamental networking principles, traffic shaping, or multi-ISP routing any easier.

The same goes for Xen networking.

### Domain Configuration

Below are the relevant configuration files for the two domains. I use a partition on my hard drives for the DomU storage device.

There is not much documentation about how to configure Xen for routed operation. I've tried to mark the relevant parts with bold font.

### Important

The files from `/etc/xen/auto` shown below correspond to my configuration under Xen 3.0. I'm now running Xen 3.1 which does not use configuration files for the domains but rather keeps the configuration in a database managed by xend. See below.

> `/boot/grub/menu.lst` — here is the entry that boots Xen in Dom0.

> > Note that the vifname is set to 'eth3' for the virtual interface to this DomU. This will cause the Dom0 interface to the server to have a fixed name (`eth3`) which makes it a lot easier to deal with in Shorewall and elsewhere.

> > Specifying an IP address (ip=206.124.146.177) causes the vif-route script to create a host route to that IP address on `eth3`.

> > >     gateway:~ # ip route ls dev eth3
> > >     206.124.146.177  scope link  src 206.124.146.176
> > >     gateway:~ #

> > Note that the source for the route is 206.124.146.176. That is the primary IP address of Dom0's `eth0`. Xen configures `eth3` to have that same IP address.

With the three Xen domains up and running, the system looks as shown in the following diagram.

The zones correspond to the Shorewall zones in the Dom0 configuration.

Readers who are paying attention will notice that eth4 has the same public IP address (206.124.146.176) as eth0 (and eth3), yet the test system connected to that interface has an RFC 1918 address (192.168.1.7). That configuration is established by Xen which clones the primary IP address of eth0 on all of the routed virtual interfaces that it creates. test is configured with its default route via 192.168.1.254 which is the IP address of the firewall's br0. That works because of the way that the Linux network stack treats local IPv4 addresses; by default, it will respond to ARP "who-has" broadcasts for any local address and not just for the addresses on the interface that received the broadcast (but of course the MAC address returned in the "here-is" response is that of the interface that received the broadcast). So when test broadcasts "who-has 192.168.1.254", the firewall responds with "here-is 192.168.1.254 00:16:3e:83:ad:28" (00:16:3e:83:ad:28 is the MAC of virtual interface eth4).

### Caution

Under some circumstances, UDP and/or TCP communication from a DomU won't work for no obvious reason. That happened with the lists domain in my setup. Looking at the IP traffic with tcpdump -nvvi eth1 in Dom0 showed that UDP packets from the lists DomU had incorrect checksums. That problem was corrected by arranging for the following command to be executed in the lists and test domains when the `eth0` device was brought up:

ethtool -K eth0 tx off

Under OpenSuSE™ 10.2, I placed the following in ``/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:16:3e:b1:d7:90`` (the config file for eth0):

    ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='-K iface tx off'

Under other distributions, the technique will vary. For example, under Debian™ or Ubuntu™, you can just add a 'post-up' entry to `/etc/network/interfaces` as shown here:

     iface eth0 inet static
             address 206.124.146.177
             netmask 255.255.255.0
             post-up ethtool -K eth0 tx off

### Caution

Update. Under OpenSuSE 10.2, communication from a domU works okay without running ethtool but traffic shaping in dom0 doesn't work! So it's a good idea to run it just to be safe.

### Dom0 Shorewall Configuration

In Dom0, I run a conventional three-interface firewall with Proxy ARP DMZ -- it is very similar to the firewall described in the Shorewall Setup Guide with the exception that I've added a fourth interface for our wireless network. The firewall runs a routed OpenVPN server to provide road warrior access for our three laptops and a bridged OpenVPN server for the wireless network in our home. Here is the firewall's view of the network:

The three laptops can be directly attached to the LAN as shown above or they can be attached wirelessly -- their IP addresses are the same in either case; when they are directly attached, the IP address is assigned by the DHCP server running in Dom0 and when they are attached wirelessly, the IP address is assigned by OpenVPN.

The Shorewall configuration files are shown below. All routing and secondary IP addresses are handled in the OpenSuSE network configuration.
