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 restart
To stop the service:
# service iptables stop
