Re: Iptables on Virtual router

[Marc-Aurèle Brothier]

Hi Varun,

The file is for the firewall are all comig from the system VM image, you
can find them here depending on the type of the system:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/master/systemvm/debian/etc/iptables.
After the system vm has booted and the SSH is available, the agent daemon
sends a command through ssh to setup the system VM with its correspondig
type (consoleproxy, dhcpsrv, secstorage...) which configures it differently
for each use case. To overcome this, you're best bet is to build a custom
systemVM on which you add an extra systemd script to set up the rules you
need.

Re: Iptables on Virtual router

[Dag Sonstebo]

Hi Varun,

Not sure if I follow your use case – the VR is built to provide services to VMs 
on the internal isolated network / VPC tier, the public interface is there for 
port forwarding / NATing to services hosted on the VMs.
Hosting DHCP on the VR for clients on the public interface isn’t a supported 
use case – anything on the public interface is by definition considered 
untrusted.

I may have misunderstood you though?

Thanks Dag. 

I am running into a scenario where a VR is required for dhcp service on the 
public Internet facing vlan and want to restrict connections to known trusted 
sources only.

Has anyone in the community run into such a situation before and found a 
workaround ? 

Thanks,
Varun

Varun,

If you're talking about allowing access to VMs behind VR from specific
Internet sources, that is as simple as adding source in firewall (by
clicking on public IP of network or VM) at cloud-stack level where you
define TCP/UDP protocol and port number etc.  I know this is very simple,
but just thought I would mention it  anyways.

RE: Iptables on Virtual router

[Kumar, Varun]

Thanks Dag. 

I am running into a scenario where a VR is required for dhcp service on the 
public Internet facing vlan and want to restrict connections to known trusted 
sources only.

Has anyone in the community run into such a situation before and found a 
workaround ? 

Thanks,
Varun
