How to configure firewall on CentOS /Oracle Linux/ Red Hat and Fedora

RHEL / CentOS Oracle Linux 7 iptables was replaced with firewalld
$ sudo -i systemctl  status firewalld.service
firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled)

Sep 18 17:36:50 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon.


firewall-cmd is the command line client of the firewalld daemon. It provides interface to manage runtime and permanent configuration.

The runtime configuration in firewalld is separated from the permanent configuration. This means that things can get changed in the runtime or permanent configuration.

For example, to open port 80
$ sudo firewall-cmd --zone=dmz --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
Add port 4848
$ sudo -i firewall-cmd --add-port=4848/tcp --permanent
and then reload the firewall
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
More examples:

Use firewall-cmd to enable for example ssh:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=https
Enable samba for 10 seconds:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=samba --timeout=10
Disable mysql:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --remove-service=mysql
To restore your static firewall with lokkit again simply use:
$ sudo lokkit --enabled
$ sudo -i firewall-cmd --list-services
dhcpv6-client ssh
$ sudo -i firewall-cmd --list-ports
$ firewall-cmd --help
