Firewalld : Basic Operation2023/02/20

	This is the Basic Operation of Firewalld. The definition of services is set to zones on Firewalld. To enable Firewall, assosiate a zone to a NIC with related commands.
[1]	To use Firewalld, start the Service.

[root@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

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --get-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]

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --add-service=http

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-service

cockpit dhcpv6-client http ssh

# for example, remove [http]

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --remove-service=http

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-service

cockpit dhcpv6-client ssh

# permanent setting : [--permanent] - add setting to the permanent environment

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-service

cockpit dhcpv6-client ssh

# reload settings from the permanent environment to apply new setting

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --reload

success

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-service

cockpit dhcpv6-client http ssh

# permanent setting : [--runtime-to-permanent] - save the current runtime environment to the permanent environment

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --add-service=http

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-service

cockpit dhcpv6-client http ssh
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

success

[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]

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --add-port=465/tcp

success

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-port

465/tcp

# for example, remove [TCP 465]

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --remove-port=465/tcp

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-port

[6]	Add or remove prohibited ICMP types.

# for example, add [echo-request] to prohibit it

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --add-icmp-block=echo-request

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-icmp-blocks

echo-request

# for example, remove [echo-request]

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --remove-icmp-block=echo-request

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --list-icmp-blocks

# display available ICMP types

[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --get-icmptypes
