1 These are Instructions for Configuring A FreeBSD Box For NAT
2 After you have installed IpFilter.
4 You will need to change three files:
12 1) Load the kernel module
13 2) Make the ipnat rules
14 3) Load the ipnat rules
15 4) Enable routing between interfaces
16 5) Add static routes for the subnet ranges
17 6) Configure your network interfaces
18 7) reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.
20 The FAQ was written by Chris Coleman <chris@@bbcc.ctc.edu>
21 This was tested using ipfilter 3.1.4 and FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE
22 _________________________________________________________
23 1) Loading the Kernel Module
25 If you are using a Kernal Loadable Module you need to edit your
26 /etc/rc.local file and load the module at boot time.
31 If you are not loading a kernel module, skip this step.
32 _________________________________________________________
33 2) Setting up the NAT Rules
35 Make a file called /etc/natrules
36 put in the rules that you need for your system.
38 If you want to use the whole 10 Network. Try:
40 map fpx0 10.0.0.0/8 -> 208.8.0.1/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:65000
42 _________________________________________________________
43 Here is an explaination of each part of the command:
45 map starts the command.
47 fpx0 is the interface with the real internet address.
49 10.0.0.0 is the subnet you want to use.
51 /8 is the subnet mask. ie 255.0.0.0
53 208.8.0.1 is the real ip address that you use.
55 /32 is the subnet mask 255.255.255.255, ie only use this ip address.
57 portmap tcp/udp 10000:65000
58 tells it to use the ports to redirect the tcp/udp calls through
61 The one line should work for the whole network.
62 _________________________________________________________
63 3) Loading the NAT Rules:
65 The NAT Rules will need to be loaded every time the computer
68 In your /etc/rc.local put the line:
70 ipnat -f /etc/natrules
72 To check and see if it is loaded, as root type
74 _________________________________________________________
75 4) Enable Routing between interfaces.
77 Tell the kernel to route these addresses.
79 in the rc.local file put the line:
81 sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
83 _________________________________________________________
84 5) Static Routes to Subnet Ranges
86 Now you have to add a static routes for the subnet ranges.
87 Edit your /etc/sysconfig to add them at bootup.
90 route_foo="10.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 10.0.0.1"
93 _________________________________________________________
94 6) Make sure that you have your interfaces configured.
96 I have two Intel Ether Express Pro B cards.
97 One is on 208.8.0.1 The other is on 10.0.0.1
99 You need to configure these in the /etc/sysconfig
101 network_interfaces="fxp0 fxp1"
102 ifconfig_fxp0="inet 208.8.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
103 ifconfig_fxp1="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0"
