To setup Iptables so that it is running, your issue the following command; Chkconfig iptables on Then do an; service iptables start When you do a; service iptables status You should get a display similar to the following, depending on the other rules you have. Table: filter Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references) target prot opt source destination DROP all -- 10.5.5.25 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT icmp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 icmp type 255 ACCEPT esp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT ah -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:5353 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:631 ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW udp dpt:123 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:22 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:53 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW udp dpt:53 REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-prohibited If you want to check the iptables rule listing you can issue the; iptables -L -n command for a printout of the current rules. If you want to make sure to save your current setup. Do a; cd /etc/sysconfig Iptables-save > iptables If you want to manually enter new rules in the iptables file in the directory you can, and if you do and want to apply them to the active setup You would execute the following command when in the /etc/sysconfig directory; iptables-restore < iptables Message: 4 Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:35:07 -0400 From: "Aaron Bliss" <abliss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: Exact syntax and examples for iptables To: "'General Red Hat Linux discussion list'" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <000001ca3808$a2f54fc0$e8dfef40$@edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Assuming that you already have iptables running /sbin/iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.5.5.25 -j DROP /sbin/service iptables save Hi Aaron, iptables is not running as the previous sysadmin hardened the server. How do I turn it on? So I issue the two commands you gave on both cluster nodes & it will stop the Windows server from accessing on both nodes as well as the cluster virtual IP address? What's the command to reverse back, in case there's problem, I'll need to fallback -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
