NAME

       proxyarp - Shorewall Proxy ARP file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shorewall/proxyarp

DESCRIPTION

       IPv4 only.

       This file is used to define Proxy ARP. There is one entry in this file for each IP address to be proxied.

       The columns in the file are as follows.

       ADDRESS - address
           IP Address.

       INTERFACE - interface (Optional as of Shorewall 4.4.16)
           Local interface where system with the ip address in ADDRESS is connected. This column is only
           required when HAVEROUTE is set to No (no) or is left empty.

       EXTERNAL - interface
           External Interface to be used to access this system from the Internet.

       HAVEROUTE - [-|Yes|No]
           If there is already a route from the firewall to the host whose address is given, enter Yes or yes in
           this column. Otherwise, enter no or No or leave the column empty and Shorewall will add the route for
           you. If Shorewall adds the route, its persistence depends on the value of thePERSISTENT column
           contains Yes; otherwise, shorewall stop or shorewall clear will delete the route.

       PERSISTENT - [-|Yes|No]
           If HAVEROUTE is No or no, then the value of this column determines if the route added by Shorewall
           persists after a shorewall stop or a shorewall clear. If this column contains Yes or yes then the
           route persists; If the column is empty or contains No or no then the route is deleted by shorewall
           stop or shorewall clear.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1:
           Host with IP 155.186.235.6 is connected to interface eth1 and we want hosts attached via eth0 to be
           able to access it using that address.

                      #ADDRESS        INTERFACE       EXTERNAL
                      155.186.235.6   eth1            eth0
