[Vyatta-users] Should I double nat or is there another way?

2007-12-21 Thread aaron-linuxuser
All,

I currently use the vyatta router in one of my buildings as a replacement to an 
aging cisco 2610 and I have no problems with it. The problem is, in a smaller 
building (on a different subnet) management is thinking about putting in some 
public services (web, etc). 

At the main building, I have a 192.168.1.0 /24 LAN and the smaller building I 
have a 192.168.3.0/24. The internet comes in on the wan interface on the 
192.168.1.0 LAN side router. How would I do a static nat to a machine, say 
192.168.3.35, on the main building router? The 'other building' router would be 
doing a masqurade-- although I could change that.

Here is a diagram to hopefully help illustrate.

isp --  {main building} (normal nat) 192.168.1.0/24   {other building} 
(masqurade)192.168.3.0/24

I want to give say 66.128.33.34 to 192.168.3.35.


Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

Aaron

[Vyatta-users] Question about OSPF syslog events

2007-12-21 Thread Adair, Nick
Hi All,
This is my configuration for syslog logging, right now we have
everything turned on and going to our syslog host.  The problem is we
are not seeing OSPF notifications, I'm not sure what we are missing.  We
looked in the manuals (what a concept) and found the section Sending
OSPF messages to Syslog and did what it indicated but it does not seem
to send OSPF info, we do see syslog messages when logrotated runs, ssh
logins, etc.  We want to know when a neighbor changes.  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Justin, that did the trick.

Now we need to figure out how to raise the level so we can turn off
debug and make it something more reasonable like warn for the OSPF
info...

Thanks again.

Re: [Vyatta-users] SOLVED: FIREWALL question: How can I stealth tcp ports

2007-12-21 Thread Adrian F. Dimcev
Hi Josh,
Guess what, all that info and much more is documented now here(Community
Documentation):
http://www.vyatta.com/twiki/bin/view/Community/CommunityDocumentation
More exactly within the article How to Create a VPN Site-to-Site IPsec
Tunnel Mode Connection Between a Vyatta OFR and an ISA 2006
Firewall(http://www.carbonwind.net/ISA/VyattaVPN/VyattaVPN.htm).
Regarding your question about setting an IN firewall instance on your
internal eth1 interface I would say yes, if you want security you should
enable Vyatta to perform stateful inspection.
And yes is you only allow HTTP the rest is implicitely denied(normal
behaviour of a firewall).
Also I would say that you should create an IN firewall instance on
your external eth0 interface.
Your Local firewall instance on your external eth0 interface does not
stop packets entering that interface destined to your internal
network(NAT also does not help here). If we play a little game with nmap
and send some packets with the destination the IP address of a host
behind Vyatta to the eth0 interface(simply telling the host on which we
run nmap that the respective IP address is accesible through Vyatta's
external IP address  by adding a route), and you monitor with Wireshark
that internal host you will see the packets sent by nmap reaching it.
This IN firewall instance should allow the returning traffic. For
example you need to allow HTTP traffic:
set firewall name exttoint rule 10 action accept
set firewall name exttoint rule 10 protocol tcp
set firewall name exttoint rule 10 destination network your internal
network
set firewall name exttoint rule 10 state established enable
set firewall name exttoint rule 10 state related enable
set firewall name exttoint rule 10 state invalid disable
set firewall name exttoint rule 10 source port-number 80
As said before by adding this rule all other traffic entering this
interface will be implicitely denied. So you need to add rules for
returning DNS traffic...
Try not to confuse the IN and Local firewall instances.
The IN firewall instance addresses traffic entering the interface and
the Local firewall instance addresses traffic destined to Vyatta
itself on that interface(altough this traffic is entering the
interface, the two instance do not overlap, or at least I did not
noticed that). 
If you want to gain more security you can setup an OUT firewall
instance too. For example HTTP traffic is entering interface eth1 and
exits on interface eth0.
About the nightmare I think you want a wizard which would create all
these for you automatically in background, say allowing HTTP from
Internal to External.
Allowing everything from Internal to External is easy but not secure.
Best,
Adrian

[Vyatta-users] Vyatta Router Test Unsucessful last night

2007-12-21 Thread Shane McKinley
I attempted the throw from Cisco to Vyatta last night, and failed.

From what I can see, the Vyatta configuration is comparable to the
Cisco's configuration with the exception of the subnets on the interface
being class C since Vyatta cannot create routes directed toward an
interface through the CLI.

The problem:

I could not ping my ISP's router (Vyatta's default route). I am pretty
sure they are running Cisco equipment. Everything on our side worked
fine (routes, etc).

Could it be possible that they would need to clear arp cache or
something similar? I am really stumped on this one. I even set an
address on my laptop in the same subnet of the Vyatta up side, and it
talked to my laptop.

If anyone has seen a similar senario and has any tips please let me
know, OR if you would like to see the cisco config and the Vyatta config
to take a look, I am willing to provide.

 Short of that it would help to be able to see the config.

Re: [Vyatta-users] SOLVED: FIREWALL question: How can I stealth tcpports

2007-12-21 Thread Lindsay Burrell
Hi, Josh--

Hi, Josh

I think you speak for other users about the firewall documentation--we get
lots of questions about firewall and NAT, and that tells me that the
documentation needs to be strengthened, or made easier, or made richer, or
made simpler, or made more relevant.

Dave Roberts has offered me some suggestions for making this kind of
documentation easier for folks to approach. I've re-written the Quick Start
Guide for one of the upcoming releases along the lines of his suggestions,
and I'm hoping the result is something that will be more helpful.

If you don't mind, I'll keep your e-mail aside. When we feel the new guide
is ready to try out, perhaps I'll ask you to take a sneak preview of it
and see what you think. I'd like to know whether, if you had seen this
documentation first, it would have worked for you and allowed you to get on
with doing what you wanted to do.

Please let me know if you'd be willing to take a look. :-)

(You can reply to me directly if you like.)

So thank you for bothering to give us for your comments. I'll try to use
them to make good improvements. 

--I do recognize how important the security features are (and yet how
complex), and how critical it is to present the right information, in just
the right amount, in the right form, so that folks can get done the things
they want to get done and not be faced with a forest of information they
don't need.

Subject: [Vyatta-users] SOLVED: FIREWALL question: How can I stealth
tcpports

Adrian,
I must express my deepest appreciation for listing out the steps to
configure my firewall properly! You can't imagine my confusion until
now. Your advice has helped me accomplish my first main objective of
at least making the Vyatta as secure as a common SOHO router/firewall.
I realize it can do so much more, but if I can't make it do the
basics, how can I ever think of moving into the more complex config
goals I have.

I now have external SSH access properly configured, and internal-only
WebGui access. All other ports on the outside (including http and
https) are now filtered (or stealthed if scanned from GRC.com).

Why is none of this valuable information DOCUMENTED in the Vyatta
Manuals? (Or have I missed it somewhere)? It seems this is very
elementary and is probably a very common configuration goal for many
people.

Adrian, I have one more question to reference your last statement...

 In the same way you can set an in firewall instance for your local
 interface(obviuosly for tcp you will have to use the new parameter and
 now the source ports become destination ports). And also for the local
 instance of you local interface.
 Since the rest of the traffic is denied you need to carefully create
 your rules.

...is it necessary to set an INBOUND firewall on my eth1 internal port
for the traffic leaving OUTBOUND for http or DNS, for example?

Currently, I can access DNS/HTTP/HTTPS/FTP, etc from internal to
outbound. So wouldn't adding a firewall to eth1 open Pandora's box for
requiring ALL types of traffic to be identified and specifically
listed in order to be permitted outbound access once you add the first
firewall rule to that interface? I guess it would not be a terribly
bad idea to KNOW all the traffic that comes in OR GOES OUT, but
wouldn't that be an administrative nightmare?

Hope all of that makes sense.

Thanks again for all your help!

 Hi Josh,
 There is no firewall by default on Vyatta.
 Your firewall rule does not prevent packets from external to your
 Vyatta itself.
 You can apply the firewall instance as in, out and local per interface.
 You have used in, meaning that packets entering that interface will be
 filtered by the firewall.
 But you are scanning Vyatta's external IP address meaning that packets
 are sent to the local instance.
 So you should define a rule like:

 set firewall name extlocal rule 10 action accept
 set firewall name extlocal rule 10 protocol tcp
 set firewall name extlocal rule 10 state new enable
 set firewall name extlocal rule 10 state established enable
 set firewall name extlocal rule 10 destination port-number 22

 set interfaces ethernet eth0 firewall local name extlocal

 Obviously this means that tcp port 22 will come as open because you
 wanted to use ssh from the external net.
 Other traffic will be implicitly denied. So you won't be able to ping
 from Vyatta itself say, google's ip addresses.
 For that you need to add another rule allowing the returning echo reply
 packet(unfortunetelly we cannot have state parameter for other protocols
 then TCP with Vyatta VC3, there is a report on bugzilla for that,
 https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2502):

 set firewall name 

Re: [Vyatta-users] SOLVED: FIREWALL question: How can I stealth tcpports

2007-12-21 Thread John Mason Jr
I'll throw my $.02 in here

Examples of how to accomplish common configurations is very important,
with graphics where possible to allow a vyatta beginner to easily select
 an appropriate config.


I would add info on some of the tasks Vyatta doesn't do out of the box,
like antivirus, webcontent inspection that kind of thing.


Also I would but links in the documentation where it makes sense to
basic sources on networking firewalls and other topics, so folks can
help themselves learn.

 Hi, Josh--
 
 Hi, Josh
 
 I think you speak for other users about the firewall documentation--we get
 lots of questions about firewall and NAT, and that tells me that the
 documentation needs to be strengthened, or made easier, or made richer, or
 made simpler, or made more relevant.
 
 Dave Roberts has offered me some suggestions for making this kind of
 documentation easier for folks to approach. I've re-written the Quick Start
 Guide for one of the upcoming releases along the lines of his suggestions,
 and I'm hoping the result is something that will be more helpful.
 
 If you don't mind, I'll keep your e-mail aside. When we feel the new guide
 is ready to try out, perhaps I'll ask you to take a sneak preview of it
 and see what you think. I'd like to know whether, if you had seen this
 documentation first, it would have worked for you and allowed you to get on
 with doing what you wanted to do.
 
 Please let me know if you'd be willing to take a look. :-)
 
 (You can reply to me directly if you like.)
 
 So thank you for bothering to give us for your comments. I'll try to use
 them to make good improvements. 
 
 --I do recognize how important the security features are (and yet how
 complex), and how critical it is to present the right information, in just
 the right amount, in the right form, so that folks can get done the things
 they want to get done and not be faced with a forest of information they
 don't need.

Re: [Vyatta-users] Can't install in hard drive - it's working...

2007-12-21 Thread Aubrey Wells

I just want to add that the line
Starting wan interface: FATAL: Error inserting wanpipe (/lib/modules/ 
2.6.20/kernel/drivers/net/wan/wanpipe.ko): no such device.


Is safe to ignore. It just means no Sangoma WAN cards were detected. I  
was a bit alarmed the first time I saw that too. Its perfectly normal  
(unless you actually *do* have a Sangoma card installed...)

Have you tried deleting all partitions using fdisk and then

Yes, I used fdisk to delete all partitions and formatted it too.   
But it

didn't work.  Thanks anyway.

The hard drive had a previous OS on it.  If you don't have anything  
you want on the drive then after logging in to the system type:


dd /dev/zero /dev/hda count=1

This will clear the partition table.  Then:

install-system

Thanks, it worked.

Thanks to all your replies.
