:lastproofread: 2024-07-03 .. _firewall-ipv6-configuration: ########################### IPv6 Firewall Configuration ########################### ******** Overview ******** In this section there's useful information on all firewall configuration that can be done regarding IPv6, and appropriate op-mode commands. Configuration commands covered in this section: .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ... From the main structure defined in :doc:`Firewall Overview` in this section you can find detailed information only for the next part of the general structure: .. code-block:: none - set firewall * ipv6 - forward + filter - input + filter - output + filter + raw - prerouting + raw - name + custom_name First, all traffic is received by the router, and it is processed in the **prerouting** section. This stage includes: * **Firewall Prerouting**: commands found under ``set firewall ipv6 prerouting raw ...`` * :doc:`Conntrack Ignore`: ``set system conntrack ignore ipv6...`` * :doc:`Policy Route`: commands found under ``set policy route6 ...`` * :doc:`Destination NAT`: commands found under ``set nat66 destination ...`` For transit traffic, which is received by the router and forwarded, the base chain is **forward**. A simplified packet flow diagram for transit traffic is shown next: .. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-fwd-packet-flow.png The base firewall chain to configure filtering rules for transit traffic is ``set firewall ipv6 forward filter ...``, which happens in stage 5, highlighted in the color red. For traffic towards the router itself, the base chain is **input**, while traffic originated by the router has the base chain **output**. A new simplified packet flow diagram is shown next, which shows the path for traffic destined to the router itself, and traffic generated by the router (starting from circle number 6): .. figure:: /_static/images/firewall-input-packet-flow.png The base chain for traffic towards the router is ``set firewall ipv6 input filter ...`` And the base chain for traffic generated by the router is ``set firewall ipv6 output ...``, where two sub-chains are available: **filter** and **raw**: * **Output Prerouting**: ``set firewall ipv6 output raw ...``. As described in **Prerouting**, rules defined in this section are processed before connection tracking subsystem. * **Output Filter**: ``set firewall ipv6 output filter ...``. Rules defined in this section are processed after connection tracking subsystem. .. note:: **Important note about default-actions:** If a default action for any base chain is not defined, then the default action is set to **accept** for that chain. For custom chains, if the default action is not defined, then the default-action is set to **drop** Custom firewall chains can be created, with commands ``set firewall ipv6 name ...``. In order to use such custom chain, a rule with **action jump**, and the appropriate **target** should be defined in a base chain. ****************************** Firewall - IPv6 Rules ****************************** For firewall filtering, firewall rules need to be created. Each rule is numbered, has an action to apply if the rule is matched, and the ability to specify multiple matching criteria. Data packets go through the rules from 1 - 999999, so order is crucial. At the first match the action of the rule will be executed. Actions ======= If a rule is defined, then an action must be defined for it. This tells the firewall what to do if all of the criteria defined for that rule match. The action can be : * ``accept``: accept the packet. * ``continue``: continue parsing next rule. * ``drop``: drop the packet. * ``reject``: reject the packet. * ``jump``: jump to another custom chain. * ``return``: Return from the current chain and continue at the next rule of the last chain. * ``queue``: Enqueue packet to userspace. * ``synproxy``: synproxy the packet. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> action [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return | synproxy] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> action [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return | synproxy] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> action [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> action [accept | continue | drop | jump | queue | reject | return] This required setting defines the action of the current rule. If the action is set to jump, then a jump-target is also needed. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> jump-target .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> jump-target .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> jump-target .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> jump-target To be used only when action is set to ``jump``. Use this command to specify the jump target. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> queue <0-65535> .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> queue <0-65535> .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> queue <0-65535> .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> queue <0-65535> To be used only when action is set to ``queue``. Use this command to specify the queue target to use. Queue range is also supported. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> queue-options bypass .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> queue-options bypass .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> queue-options bypass .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> queue-options bypass To be used only when action is set to ``queue``. Use this command to let the packet go through firewall when no userspace software is connected to the queue. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> queue-options fanout .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> queue-options fanout .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> queue-options fanout .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> queue-options fanout To be used only when action is set to ``queue``. Use this command to distribute packets between several queues. Also, **default-action** is an action that takes place whenever a packet does not match any rule in it's chain. For base chains, possible options for **default-action** are **accept** or **drop**. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter default-action [accept | drop] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter default-action [accept | drop] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter default-action [accept | drop] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name default-action [accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return] This sets the default action of the rule-set if a packet does not match the criteria of any rule. If default-action is set to ``jump``, then ``default-jump-target`` is also needed. Note that for base chains, the default action can only be set to ``accept`` or ``drop``, while on custom chains, more actions are available. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name default-jump-target To be used only when ``default-action`` is set to ``jump``. Use this command to specify the jump target for the default rule. .. note:: **Important note about default-actions:** If the default action for any base chain is not defined, then the default action is set to **accept** for that chain. For custom chains if a default action is not defined then the default-action is set to **drop**. Firewall Logs ============= Logging can be enable for every single firewall rule. If enabled, other log options can be defined. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> log .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> log .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> log .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> log Enable logging for the matched packet.

Only applicable if rule log is enabled and log group is defined. Firewall Description ==================== For reference, a description can be defined for every single rule, and for every defined custom chain. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name description Provide a rule-set description to a custom firewall chain. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> description .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> description .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> description .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> description Provide a description for each rule. Rule Status =========== When defining a rule, it is enabled by default. In some cases, it is useful to just disable the rule, rather than removing it. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> disable .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> disable .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> disable .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> disable Command for disabling a rule but keep it in the configuration. Matching criteria ================= There are a lot of matching criteria against which the packet can be tested. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> connection-status nat [destination | source] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> connection-status nat [destination | source] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> connection-status nat [destination | source] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> connection-status nat [destination | source] Match based on nat connection status. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> connection-mark <1-2147483647> .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> connection-mark <1-2147483647> .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> connection-mark <1-2147483647> .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> connection-mark <1-2147483647> Match based on connection mark. .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> source address [address | addressrange | CIDR] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> source address [address | addressrange | CIDR] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> source address [address | addressrange | CIDR] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> source address [address | addressrange | CIDR] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR] Match based on source and/or destination address. This is similar to the network groups part, but here you are able to negate the matching addresses. .. code-block:: none set firewall ipv6 name FOO rule 100 source address 2001:db8::202 .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> source address-mask [address] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> source address-mask [address] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> source address-mask [address] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> source address-mask [address] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> destination address-mask [address] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> destination address-mask [address] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> destination address-mask [address] .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> destination address-mask [address] An arbitrary netmask can be applied to mask addresses to only match against a specific portion. This is particularly useful with IPv6 as rules will remain valid if the IPv6 prefix changes and the host portion of systems IPv6 address is static (for example, with SLAAC or `tokenised IPv6 addresses `_) This functions for both individual addresses and address groups. .. stop_vyoslinter .. code-block:: none # Match any IPv6 address with the suffix ::0000:0000:0000:beef set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 100 destination address ::beef set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 100 destination address-mask ::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff # Address groups set firewall group ipv6-address-group WEBSERVERS address ::1000 set firewall group ipv6-address-group WEBSERVERS address ::2000 set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 200 source group address-group WEBSERVERS set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule 200 source address-mask ::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff .. start_vyoslinter .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> source fqdn .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> source fqdn .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> source fqdn .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> source fqdn .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 forward filter rule <1-999999> destination fqdn .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 input filter rule <1-999999> destination fqdn .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 output filter rule <1-999999> destination fqdn .. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 name rule <1-999999> destination fqdn Specify a Fully Qualified Domain Name as source/destination to match.
