Need firewalld clue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I don't really understand the intent behind firewalld. The RHEL7 Security
Guide states "A graphical configuration tool, *firewall-config*, is used to
configure firewalld, which in turn uses *iptables tool* to communicate with
*Netfilter* in the kernel which implements packet filtering".

So is the goal for firewalld to implement a GUI for iptables? What is the
"value added" by firewalld?
    Thanks....Nick Geo
