iptables with alias?

iptables with alias?

[Jeppe Sørensen]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 838 bytes --]

Hello

I have a little question that perhaps someone can help me with

I have a interface to the inet with 4 dynamic ip addr
eth0 = first dynamic ip addr
eth0:0 = second dynmaic ip addr
and so on

I want to make 1 on 1 nat on the frist 2 aliass and the last 2 alias are for the rest of the network
192.168.1.5 nat to eth0
192.168.1.6 nat to eth0:0
192.168.1.7-to-15 nat to eth0:1
192.168.1.16-to-30 nat to eth0:2

but iptables wan't take alias

What do I do / what can I do ?

I have looked in the The netfilter user mailinglist Archives and found the following solution

ip addr add w.x.y.z/bits dev eth0 label eth00

but how does I get it to work with dynamic address?


The archive mail I found the solution in

You're right - netfilter doesn't accept : characters in interface names.

I suggest you create a script to (re)write appropriate SNAT rules, which is 
called by dhcpcd, or whatever else you use to acquire your dynamic 
addresses...

Hi Antony:

	This just a test. My posts don't seem to be showing up on the list.

Trigger firewall Script on IP Change:

[Stewart Thompson]

Hi All:

        Can anyone tell me how to automatically trigger
my firewall script to execute when the IP on the External
Interface changes. Thanks.

If your external IP address is changing, you must be using DHCP...

If you're using ISCs dhcpcd, you can create scripts called 
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-<ifname>.exe where <ifname> is eth0, eth1, eth2 etc which 
will get called whenever there's a new address on the interface.

man dhcpcd for a bit more info.

Hi Antony:

	Thanks for the tip. I will have a look.
I new it was possible, I just wasn't sure how.

Re: iptables with alias?

[leolistas]

   I think you'll have to tweak your firewall scripts and build your own 
customized SNAT rules. I mean ..... your firewall script can easily get 
the IP address of the interface ( even alias one ) with something similar 
to:

ifconfig "eth0 " | grep inet | cut -d":" -f 2 | cut -d" " -f 1


   Then, in POSTROUTING you could build your rules, just like:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.5 -j SNAT --to-source $IP_ETH0
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.6 -j SNAT --to-source 
$IP_ETH00
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.8/29 -j SNAT --to-source 
$IP_ETH01 ( 192.168.1.8/29 matches 7-15 )
... and go on ....

   Note that this script can be only executed after ALL interfaces get 
their IP addresses ....


   Hope this helps,
