IP Alias with iptables

IP Alias with iptables

[Rodrigo Haces]

Hi:

I have only one network adapter in my Server, but i need to have 2 different
networks, 192.168.1.0 to the MAC addresses i know and 192.168.0.0 to the MAC
addresses i dont't know, i have managed this by makin mi eth0 to 192.168.1.1
and an alias eth0:0 to 192.168.0.1, everythings ok, but i'm also sharing
internet, but when i start the rule to the eth0:0 it sends me an error. Is
there a way to use IP Aliasing with iptables? if not, is there a way to
create an eth0 and eth1 witn the same adapter?

Thanks

Rodrigo

This sounds strange - what is your network layout, giving rise to machines 
with "MAC addresses you don't know", which need you to be on a different 
subnet?

Yes - just remember that there's only one physical interface, and it's called 
eth0.   Don't try to use :0 or :1 in your netfilter rules.   You can always 
use -s or -d to specify source & destination IP addresses if you want the 
rule/s to apply only to certain packets.

No.   It's a simple (and cheap) job to add another ethernet card, though.

Ok, this is what i want, i have a Restaurant, and have an administrative
network (192.168.1.0) and i am giving wireless access to my clients, but i
cant let them get into my administrative network, so i set them 192.168.0.0.

ok, this are my rules, were and how do i use the -d and -s??

echo "   FWD: Allow all connections OUT and only existing and related ones
IN"
iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j
ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o ppp0 -j ACCEPT
echo "   Enabling SNAT (MASQUERADE) functionality on ppp0"

I would *really* recommend that you have two physically separate subnets for 
this.   Otherwise there is nothing to stop someone using a wireless sniffer 
to see all the traffic on your administrative network.

I can't answer your question properly because you haven't said what you want 
to allow and what you want to block (based on address, because you can't base 
it on interface name), however if for example you wanted to allow Internet 
access from network 192.168.0.0/24 and not allow it from 192.168.1.0/24, then 
you could use -s and -d like this:

iptables -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o eth0 -d 192.168.0.0/24 -m state --state 
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

I'm sure this gives you the idea of what I mean - simply adjust depending on 
which network range you want to do what.

I suggest another firewall then - trying to set up a firewall with only one 
ethernet interface is a poor enough solution (from a security point of view) 
in the first place, but if there is wireless access involved as well then I 
would not even consider it.

Indeed.   I would like to see this emphasised more in the netfilter howtos & 
tutorials.   Multiple addresses on one interface are all very well, so long 
as they exist within the same subnet; however anyone trying to use multiple 
*network* addresses on one physical interface is defeating their security by 
ignoring what the different OSI network layers mean.

Even someone who thinks "I have a switch; my packets cannot be sniffed" simply 
hasn't investigated Dug Song's (and similar) network tools sufficiently.

RE: IP Alias with iptables

[Rodrigo Haces]

New Situation:

I have managed to have another interface so this is my situation:

My Server:

eth0: 192.168.1.1 Connected to hub 1
eth1: 192.168.0.1 Connected to hub 2

hub 1 is for guests
hub 2 is for administrative porposes, and MUST be able to use network
192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x

so this is something i thought.

eth0... 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
eth1... 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
eth1:1. 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.0.0

my laptop is part of the administrative sector, i have 192.168.0.10 ip, but
i need to be able to use also 192.168.1.10 so i can monitor guests, if i
switch to 192.168.1.10 i just simply cant see anything (nither the server at
192.168.1.101 nor 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1).

Any ideas
Thanks

So, the firewall needs to allow 192.168.1.0/24 addresses to connect to 
192.168.0.0/24 but not the other way round.

Doesn't look good.

Looks as bad as the first idea, with only one interface.

What is wrong with yur laptop havign just one IP address (that *is* 
conventional, after all), and the firewall allowing it to "monitor" addresses 
in the other subnet?   Perhaps you should explain more about what you mean by 
"monitor"?

> Any ideas

Yes.   Have two subnets with separate address ranges, a firewall in between, 
and allow one subnet to connect to the other, but not the other way round.

eg:
eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT

RE: IP Alias with iptables

Thanks for this, hope this is my last post:

assuming this will allow all 192.168.1.0/24 go to 192.168.0.0/24 how could i
do if i want not all the subnet, but only 192.168.1.10, i suppose is with
the -s option, but im not sure of how to use this.

Thanks

I want to add some qualification to these overstatements.  Aliased
interfaces do not inherently introduce any insecurity in cases where
you don't care about subnet separation.  For example, a hosting
service that receives and uses a new address allocation not contiguous
with its existing subnet is living with reality, not ignoring what the
network layers mean nor defeating its security.

(As an aside, the OSI model is really little more than a sometimes
useful abstraction anyway.  Twenty years ago it was already hard to
relate to a corporate network that used both IP-encapsulated DECnet
and DECnet-encapsulated IP.  Today's networks abound with VPNs that
muddle the OSI model.)

I agree.   However, Alistair and I were not claiming that aliased interfaces 
introduce an insecurity where you don't require any security - we were simply 
saying that you cannot (should not) use them where you require to have secure 
separation of your subnets.

If you want to overlap two logical networks on one physical infrastructure, 
and you do not require any security between them, then aliased interfaces are 
ideal for the job.

However, if you are trying to keep two logical networks securely separate from 
each other (as the original poster wanted to do), then aliased interfaces 
will defeat your attempts at this.

Then aliases are not secure enough to deal with your settings. I mean
any wireless client that would change its IP manually to 192.160.1.0
will get administrative network priviliedges. You have to separate
thoses two LANs physically using a second network adapter or use a VLAN
aware switch connected by a trunk to eth0, configured to support 802.1q
tagging.

Re: IP Alias with iptables

[Michael Gale]

Hello,

	eth0:0 is an alias to eth0 -- so in iptables you must reference the interface
(eth0) and they also go by destination (-d) 

So in the following example:
eth0 = 192.168.0.1
eth0:0 = 10.10.0.1

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d 192.168.0.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

will allow port 80 for the 192.168.0.1 network and

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d 10.10.0.1 -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT 

will allow mail for the 10.10.0.1 network.

Michael.

Could work, never tryed it, but how do i set it up to work on boot? i use
RedHat 7.3 and have a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file that
has the next parameters:
DEVICE="eth0"
IPADDR="192.168.1.1"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT="yes"

Do i just simple add another IPADDR line?

Thanks

Rodrigo

Re: IP Alias with iptables

[Alexis]

in my case, i prefer to use a script made by myself and call it by a
rc.local or using a sysv script.

Im not shure if adding a new IPADDR will work, because you need iproute2 to
achieve what i told you.

Just try and let us know :)
