proxyarp - Shorewall Proxy ARP file
Contents
Description
IPv4 only.
This file is used to define Proxy ARP. There is one entry in this file for each IP address to be proxied.
The columns in the file are as follows.
ADDRESS - address
IP Address.
INTERFACE - interface (Optional as of Shorewall 4.4.16)
Local interface where system with the ip address in ADDRESS is connected. This column is only
required when HAVEROUTE is set to No (no) or is left empty.
EXTERNAL - interface
External Interface to be used to access this system from the Internet.
HAVEROUTE - [-|Yes|No]
If there is already a route from the firewall to the host whose address is given, enter Yes or yes in
this column. Otherwise, enter no or No or leave the column empty and Shorewall will add the route for
you. If Shorewall adds the route, its persistence depends on the value of thePERSISTENT column
contains Yes; otherwise, shorewallstop or shorewallclear will delete the route.
PERSISTENT - [-|Yes|No]
If HAVEROUTE is No or no, then the value of this column determines if the route added by Shorewall
persists after a shorewallstop or a shorewallclear. If this column contains Yes or yes then the
route persists; If the column is empty or contains No or no then the route is deleted by shorewallstop or shorewallclear.
Example
Example 1:
Host with IP 155.186.235.6 is connected to interface eth1 and we want hosts attached via eth0 to be
able to access it using that address.
#ADDRESS INTERFACE EXTERNAL
155.186.235.6 eth1 eth0
