Firewalld : Basic Operation2025/10/21

 

This is the Basic Operation of Firewalld.

The definition of services is set to zones on Firewalld.
To enable Firewall, associate a zone to a NIC with related commands.

[1] To use Firewalld, start the Service.
dlp:~ #
systemctl enable --now firewalld

[2] By default, [public] zone is applied with a NIC, and cockpit, dhcpv6-client, ssh are allowed. When operating with [firewall-cmd] command, if you input the command without [--zone=***] specification, then, configuration is set to the default zone.
# display the default zone

[4] Add or Remove allowed services.
The change will be back after rebooting the system.
If you change settings permanently, add the [--permanent] or [--runtime-to-permanent] option.
# for example, add [http]

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --add-service=http

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-service

dhcpv6-client http ssh
# for example, remove [http]

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --remove-service=http

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-service

dhcpv6-client ssh
# permanent setting : [--permanent] - add setting to the permanent environment

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-service

dhcpv6-client ssh
# reload settings from the permanent environment to apply new setting

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --reload

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-service

dhcpv6-client http ssh
# permanent setting : [--runtime-to-permanent] - save the current runtime environment to the permanent environment

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --add-service=https

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-service

dhcpv6-client http https ssh
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-service --permanent

dhcpv6-client http ssh
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-service --permanent

dhcpv6-client http https ssh
[5] Add or remove allowed ports.
If you change settings permanently, add the [--permanent] or [--runtime-to-permanent] option like the examples of [4].
# for example, add [TCP 465]

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --add-port=465/tcp

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-port

465/tcp
# for example, remove [TCP 465]

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --remove-port=465/tcp

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-port

 
[6] Add or remove prohibited ICMP types.
# for example, add [echo-request] to prohibit it

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --add-icmp-block=echo-request

success
dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --list-icmp-blocks

echo-request
# for example, remove [echo-request]

dlp:~ #
firewall-cmd --remove-icmp-block=echo-request

success
