To start the firewall service (iptables) and
configure it to start when the system boots, enter the following
commands:
#service iptables start#chkconfig iptables on
To save any changes that you have made to the firewall rules to
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and
/etc/sysconfig/ip6tables, so that the service
loads them when it next starts:
# service iptables save
To restart the service so that it re-reads its rules from
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and
/etc/sysconfig/ip6tables:
# service iptables restartTo stop the service:
# service iptables stop
