RE: [FW1] Static arp entries for NAT



If you have an init script with the proper routes then life is grand. Put
something like this in /etc/init.d/_____ and link from run levels. Solaris
will do arp majic all by itself. ie:

You will have major problems if the internal address doesn't line up with
the internal gateway of the firewall. I take it there is a private address
space lan on an interface to the firewall of the type 10.1.1.1/255.255.255.0
? Then the host must have an address on the 10.1.1.0 class C. And the
default gateway must be 10.1.1.1 which should also be the internal address
of the firewall. I am I reading correctly that you want to run both private
and public addresses on the same lan?

#!/bin/sh
#

case "$1" in

'start')
 # add NAT host routes - DANGER - changing these will break external access
 # some happy host:
 route add  _EXTERNAL_IP_ADD_OF_HOST_  _INTERNAL_IP_ADDR_OF_HOST 1
 #The last 1 is a metric...

 ;;

'stop')
 echo " "
 ;;

*)
 echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
 ;;

esac

Cheers,
Craig

Hi,

You need arp entries when you nat to an address on an existing network
connected to one of your firewall's interfaces.
These entries will be used when another machine on the network tries to
talk with the nated address. It will send an arp request, and your
firewall will answer it.

If you only NAT to non-existing networks, you don't need arp. You just
need well-configured routes.
