Case : I want to run ip6tables firewall on the linux machine which is already running ipv4-firewall-machine (iptables). i want to support firewall feature for both IPv4 and Ipv6 network at the same time. 2)I found out in redhat linux adminstration guide that Iptables cannot start along with Ip6tables. http://www.redhat.com/docs /manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual /security-guide/ch-fw.html This is what it is mentioned in this page The IPChains and IP6Tables services must be turned off to use the IPTables service with the following commands: Then how can we build a firewall for a machine which can be used both in IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
