18.3. Usage 18.3.1. Check for support
Load module, if so compiled
# modprobe ip6_tables
Check for capability
# [ ! -f /proc/net/ip6_tables_names ] && echo "Current kernel doesn't support ¬ 'ip6tables' firewalling (IPv6)!"
18.3.2. Learn how to use ip6tables 18.3.2.1. List all IPv6 netfilter entries
Short
# ip6tables -L
Extended
# ip6tables -n -v --line-numbers -L
18.3.2.2. List specified filter
# ip6tables -n -v --line-numbers -L INPUT
18.3.2.3. Insert a log rule at the input filter with options
# ip6tables --table filter --append INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "INPUT:" ¬ --log-level 7
18.3.2.4. Insert a drop rule at the input filter
# ip6tables --table filter --append INPUT -j DROP
18.3.2.5. Delete a rule by number
# ip6tables --table filter --delete INPUT 1
18.3.2.6. Enable connection tracking
Since kernel version 2.6.20 IPv6 connection tracking is well supported and should be used instead of using stateless filter rules.
# ip6tables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
18.3.2.7. Allow ICMPv6
Using older kernels (unpatched kernel 2.4.5 and iptables-1.2.2) no type can be specified
Accept incoming ICMPv6 through tunnels
# ip6tables -A INPUT -i sit+ -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT
Allow outgoing ICMPv6 through tunnels
# ip6tables -A OUTPUT -o sit+ -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT
Newer kernels allow specifying of ICMPv6 types:
# ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
18.3.2.8. Rate-limiting
Because it can happen (author already saw it to times) that an ICMPv6 storm will raise up, you should use available rate limiting for at least ICMPv6 ruleset. In addition logging rules should also get rate limiting to prevent DoS attacks against syslog and storage of log file partition. An example for a rate limited ICMPv6 looks like:
# ip6tables -A INPUT --protocol icmpv6 --icmpv6-type echo-request ¬ -j ACCEPT --match limit --limit 30/minute
18.3.2.9. Allow incoming SSH
Here an example is shown for a ruleset which allows incoming SSH connection from a specified IPv6 address
Allow incoming SSH from 2001:0db8:100::1/128
# ip6tables -A INPUT -i sit+ -p tcp -s 2001:0db8:100::1/128 --sport 512:65535 ¬ --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
Allow response packets (no longer needed if connection tracking is used!)
# ip6tables -A OUTPUT -o sit+ -p tcp -d 2001:0db8:100::1/128 --dport 512:65535 ¬ --sport 22 ! --syn -j ACCEPT
18.3.2.10. Enable tunneled IPv6-in-IPv4
To accept tunneled IPv6-in-IPv4 packets, you have to insert rules in your IPv4 firewall setup relating to such packets, for example
Accept incoming IPv6-in-IPv4 on interface ppp0
# iptables -A INPUT -i ppp0 -p ipv6 -j ACCEPT
Allow outgoing IPv6-in-IPv4 to interface ppp0
# iptables -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -p ipv6 -j ACCEPT
If you have only a static tunnel, you can specify the IPv4 addresses, too, like
Accept incoming IPv6-in-IPv4 on interface ppp0 from tunnel endpoint 192.0.2.2
# iptables -A INPUT -i ppp0 -p ipv6 -s 192.0.2.2 -j ACCEPT
Allow outgoing IPv6-in-IPv4 to interface ppp0 to tunnel endpoint 1.2.3.4
# iptables -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -p ipv6 -d 192.0.2.2 -j ACCEPT
18.3.2.11. Protection against incoming TCP connection requests
VERY RECOMMENDED! For security issues you should really insert a rule which blocks incoming TCP connection requests. Adapt "-i" option, if other interface names are in use!
Block incoming TCP connection requests to this host
# ip6tables -I INPUT -i sit+ -p tcp --syn -j DROP
Block incoming TCP connection requests to hosts behind this router
# ip6tables -I FORWARD -i sit+ -p tcp --syn -j DROP
Perhaps the rules have to be placed below others, but that is work you have to think about it. Best way is to create a script and execute rules in a specified way. 18.3.2.12. Protection against incoming UDP connection requests
ALSO RECOMMENDED! Like mentioned on my firewall information it's possible to control the ports on outgoing UDP/TCP sessions. So if all of your local IPv6 systems are using local ports e.g. from 32768 to 60999 you are able to filter UDP connections also (until connection tracking works) like:
Block incoming UDP packets which cannot be responses of outgoing requests of this host
# ip6tables -I INPUT -i sit+ -p udp ! --dport 32768:60999 -j DROP
Block incoming UDP packets which cannot be responses of forwarded requests of hosts behind this router
# ip6tables -I FORWARD -i sit+ -p udp ! --dport 32768:60999 -j DROP
18.3.3. Examples 18.3.3.1. Simple example for Fedora
Following lines show a simple firewall configuration for Fedora 6 (since kernel version 2.6.20). It was modfied from the default one (generated by system-config-firewall) for supporting connection tracking and return the proper ICMPv6 code for rejects. Incoming SSH (port 22) connections are allowed.
File: /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables
*filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d ff02::fb -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp6-adm-prohibited COMMIT
For completeness also the IPv4 configuration is shown here:
File: /etc/sysconfig/iptables
*filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT
Usage:
Create/modify the configuration files
Activate IPv4 & IPv6 firewalling
# service iptables start # service ip6tables start
Enable automatic start after reboot
# chkconfig iptables on # chkconfig ip6tables on
18.3.3.2. Sophisticated example
Following lines show a more sophisticated but still stateless filter setup as an example. Happy netfilter6 ruleset creation....
