4.5. USING FIREWALLS
The dynamic firewall daemon
firewalld provides
a dynamically managed firewall with support for network “zones” to
assign a level of trust to a network and its associated connections and interfaces. It has support for IPv4 and IPv6 firewall
settings. It supports Ethernet bridges and has a separation of runtime and permanent configuration options. It also has an interface for services or applications to add firewall rules directly.NOTE
To expand your expertise, you might also be interested in the Red
Hat Server Hardening (RH413) training course.
A graphical configuration tool, firewall-config,
is used to configure
firewalld,
which in turn uses iptables
tool to communicate with Netfilterin
the kernel which implements packet filtering.
To use the graphical firewall-config tool,
press the Super key
to enter the Activities Overview, type
firewall and
then press Enter.
The firewall-config tool
appears. You will be prompted for an administrator password.
The firewall-config tool
has a drop-down selection menu labeledConfiguration.
This enables selecting between and mode.
Notice that if you select ,
an additional row of icons will appear in the left hand corner. These icons only appear in permanent configuration mode because a service's parameters cannot be changed in runtime mode.
The firewall service provided by
firewalld is
dynamic rather than static because changes to the configuration can be made at anytime and are immediately implemented, there is no need to save or apply the changes. No unintended disruption of existing network connections occurs as no part of the firewall
has to be reloaded.
A command line client, firewall-cmd,
is provided. It can be used to make permanent and non-permanent runtime changes as explained in
man
firewall-cmd(1). Permanent changes need to be made as explained in the firewalld(1) man
page. Note that the firewall-cmdcommand
can be run by the root user
and also by an administrative user, in other words, a member of the wheel group.
In the latter case the command will be authorized via the polkit mechanism.
The configuration for
firewalld is
stored in various XML files in /usr/lib/firewalld/ and /etc/firewalld/.
This allows a great deal of flexibility as the files can be edited, written to, backed up, used as templates for other installations and so on.
Other applications can communicate with
firewalld using
D-bus.
The essential differences between
Both use iptables
tool to talk to the kernel packet filter.
firewalld and
the iptables
service are:
-
The iptables service stores configuration in
/etc/sysconfig/iptableswhilefirewalldstores it in various XML files in/usr/lib/firewalld/and/etc/firewalld/. Note that the/etc/sysconfig/iptablesfile does not exist asfirewalldis installed by default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. -
With the iptables service, every single change means flushing all the old rules and reading all the new rules from
/etc/sysconfig/iptableswhile withfirewalldthere is no re-creating of all the rules; only the differences are applied. Consequently,firewalldcan change the settings during runtime without existing connections being lost.
Firewalls can be used to separate networks into different zones based on the level of trust the user has decided to place on the devices and traffic within that network. NetworkManager informs
firewalld to
which zone an interface belongs. An interface's assigned zone can be changed byNetworkManager or
via the firewall-config tool
which can open the relevantNetworkManager window
for you.
The zone settings in
/etc/firewalld/ are
a range of preset settings which can be quickly applied to a network interface. They are listed here with a brief explanation:-
drop -
Any incoming network packets are dropped, there is no reply. Only outgoing network connections are possible.
-
block -
Any incoming network connections are rejected with an icmp-host-prohibited message for
IPv4and icmp6-adm-prohibited forIPv6. Only network connections initiated from within the system are possible. -
public -
For use in public areas. You do not trust the other computers on the network to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.
-
external -
For use on external networks with masquerading enabled especially for routers. You do not trust the other computers on the network to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.
-
dmz -
For computers in your demilitarized zone that are publicly-accessible with limited access to your internal network. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.
-
work -
For use in work areas. You mostly trust the other computers on networks to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.
-
home -
For use in home areas. You mostly trust the other computers on networks to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.
-
internal -
For use on internal networks. You mostly trust the other computers on the networks to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.
-
trusted -
All network connections are accepted.
It is possible to designate one of these zones to be the default zone. When interface connections are added to NetworkManager,
they are assigned to the default zone. On installation, the default zone in
firewalld is
set to be the public zone.Choosing a Network Zone
The network zone names have been chosen to be self-explanatory and to allow users to quickly make a reasonable decision. However, a review of the default configuration settings should be made and unnecessary services disabled according to your needs and risk
assessments.
A service can be a list of local ports and destinations as well as a list of firewall helper modules automatically loaded if a service is enabled. The use of predefined services makes it easier for the user to enable and disable access to a service. Using the
predefined services, or custom defined services, as opposed to opening ports or ranges of ports, may make administration easier. Service configuration options and generic file information are described in the
firewalld.service(5) man
page. The services are specified by means of individual XML configuration files which are named in the following format: service-name.xml.
To view the list of services using the graphical firewall-config tool,
press the Super key
to enter the Activities Overview, type
firewall and
then pressEnter.
The firewall-config tool
appears. You will be prompted for an administrator password. You can now view the list of services under theServices tab.
To list the default predefined services available using the command line, issue the following command as
root:
~]# ls /usr/lib/firewalld/services/
Files in /usr/lib/firewalld/services/ must
not be edited. Only the files in /etc/firewalld/services/ should
be edited.
To list the system or user created services, issue the following command as
root:
~]# ls /etc/firewalld/services/
Services can be added and removed using the graphical firewall-config tool
and by editing the XML files in
/etc/firewalld/services/.
If a service has not been added or changed by the user, then no corresponding XML file will be found in /etc/firewalld/services/.
The files /usr/lib/firewalld/services/ can
be used as templates if you want to add or change a service. As root,
issue a command in the following format:
~]# cp /usr/lib/firewalld/services/[service].xml /etc/firewalld/services/[service].xml
You may then edit the newly created file. firewalld will
prefer files in /etc/firewalld/services/ but
will fall back to /usr/lib/firewalld/services/ should
a file be deleted, but only after a reload.firewalld has
a so called “direct
interface”, which enables directly passing rules to iptables, ip6tables and ebtables.
It is intended for use by applications and not users. It is dangerous to use the direct interface if you are not very familiar with iptables as
you could inadvertently cause a breach in the firewall. firewalld still
tracks what has been added, so it is still possible to query firewalld and
see the changes made by an application using the direct interface mode. The direct interface is used by adding the --directoption
to the firewall-cmd command.
The direct interface mode is intended for services or applications to add specific firewall rules during runtime. The rules can be made permanent by adding the
--permanent option
using the firewall-cmd
--permanent --direct command or by modifying /etc/firewalld/direct.xml.
If the rules are not made permanent then they need to be applied every time after receiving the start, restart, or reload message from firewalld using
D-BUS.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
firewalld is
installed by default. If required, to ensure that it is, enter the following command as root:
~]# yum install firewalld
The graphical user interface configuration tool firewall-config is
installed by default in some versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. If required, to ensure that it is, enter the following command as
root:
~]# yum install firewall-config
Stopping firewalld
To stop
firewalld,
enter the following command as root:
~]# systemctl stop firewalld
To prevent firewalld from
starting automatically at system start, issue the following command as root:
~]# systemctl disable firewalld
Starting firewalld
To start
firewalld,
enter the following command as root:
~]# systemctl start firewalld
To ensure firewalld starts
automatically at system start, enter the following command as root:
~]# systemctl enable firewalld
Checking if firewalld is Running
To check if
firewalld is
running, enter the following command:
~]$ systemctl status firewalld
firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sat 2013-04-06 22:56:59 CEST; 2 days ago
Main PID: 688 (firewalld)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/firewalld.service
In addition, check if firewall-cmd can
connect to the daemon by entering the following command:
~]$ firewall-cmd --state
running
The firewall service, implemented by the daemon
firewalld,
can be configured using the graphical user interface tool firewall-config,
using the command line interface tool firewall-cmd,
and by editing XML configuration files. These methods will be described in order.
To start the graphical firewall-config tool,
press the Super key
to enter the Activities Overview, type
firewall and
then press Enter.
Thefirewall-config tool
appears. You will be prompted for an administrator password.
To start the graphical firewall configuration tool using the command line, enter the following command as
root user:
~]# firewall-config
The Firewall
Configuration window opens. Note, this command can be run as normal user but you will then be prompted for an administrator password from time to time.
Look for the word “Connected” in
the lower left corner. This indicates that thefirewall-config tool
is connected to the user space daemon,
firewalld.
Note that the ICMP
Types, Direct
Configuration, and Lockdown
Whitelisttabs are only visible after being selected from the View drop-down
menu.
To immediately change the current firewall settings, ensure the current view is set to .
Alternatively, to edit the settings to be applied at the next system start, or firewall reload, select from
the drop-down list.
NOTE
When making changes to the firewall settings in mode,
your selection takes immediate effect when you set or clear the check box associated with the service. You should keep this in mind when working on a system that may be in use by other users.
When making changes to the firewall settings in mode,
your selection will only take effect when you reload the firewall or the system restarts. You can use the reload icon below the Filemenu,
or click the menu
and select Reload
Firewall.
You can select zones in the left hand side column. You will notice the zones have some services enabled, you may need to resize the window or scroll to see the full list. You can customize the settings by selecting and deselecting a service.
To add or reassign an interface of a connection to a zone, start firewall-config,
select from
the menu bar, select Change
Zones of Connections from the drop-down menu, the Connections list
is displayed. Select the connection to be reassigned. The Select
Zone for Connectionwindow appears. Select the new firewall zone from the drop-down menu and click OK.
To set the default zone that new interfaces will be assigned to, start firewall-config,
select from
the menu bar, select Change
Default Zonefrom the drop-down menu. The Default
Zone window appears. Select the zone form the list that you want to be used as the default zone and click OK.
To enable or disable a predefined or custom service, start the firewall-configtool
and select the network zone whose services are to be configured. Select the Services tab
and select the check box for each type of service you want to trust. Clear the check box to block a service.
To edit a service, start the firewall-config tool
and then select mode
from the drop-down selection menu labeled Configuration.
Additional icons and menu buttons appear at the bottom of the window.
Select the service you want to configure.
The Ports
and Protocols tab enables adding, changing, and removing of ports and protocols for the selected service. The modules tab is for configuring Netfilter helper
modules. The Destination tab
enables limiting traffic to a particular destination address and Internet Protocol (
IPv4 or IPv6).
To permit traffic through the firewall to a certain port, start the firewall-configtool
and select the network zone whose settings you want to change. Select the Ports tab
and the click the button
on the right hand side. The Port
and Protocol window opens.
Enter the port number or range of ports to permit. Select tcp or udp from
the drop-down list.
To translate
IPv4 addresses
to a single external address, start the firewall-config tool
and select the network zone whose addresses are to be translated. Select the Masquerading tab
and select the check box to enable the translation of IPv4 addresses
to a single address.
To forward inbound network traffic, or “packets”,
for a specific port to an internal address or alternative port, first enable IP address masquerading, then select the Port
Forwarding tab.
Select the protocol of the incoming traffic and the port or range of ports on the upper section of the window. The lower section is for setting details about the destination.
To forward traffic to a local port (a port on the same system), select the Local
forwarding check box. Enter the local port or range of ports for the traffic to be sent to.
To forward traffic to another
IPv4 address,
select the Forward
to another port check box. Enter the destination IP address and port or port range. The default is to send to the same port if the port field is left empty. Click OK to
apply the changes.
To enable or disable an
ICMP filter,
start the firewall-config tool
and select the network zone whose messages are to be filtered. Select the ICMP
Filtertab and select the check box for each type of ICMP message
you want to filter. Clear the check box to disable a filter. This setting is per direction and the default allows everything.
To edit an
ICMP type,
start the firewall-config tool
and then select mode
from the drop-down selection menu labeledConfiguration.
Additional icons appear at the bottom of the window.
The command line tool firewall-cmd is
part of the
firewalld application
which is installed by default. You can verify that it is installed by checking the version or displaying the help output. Enter the following command to check the version:
~]$ firewall-cmd --version
Enter the following command to view the help output:
~]$ firewall-cmd --help
We list a selection of commands below, for a full list see the
man
firewall-cmd(1) man page.NOTE
In order to make a command permanent or persistent, add the
--permanent option
to all commands apart from the --directcommands
(which are by their nature temporary). Note that this not only means the change will be permanent but that the change will only take effect after firewall reload, service restart, or after system reboot. Settings made with firewall-cmd without
the --permanent option
take effect immediately, but are only valid till next firewall reload, system boot, or firewalld service
restart. Reloading the firewall does not in itself break connections, but be aware you are discarding temporary changes by doing so.
In order to make a command both persistent and take effect immediately, enter the command twice, once with the
--permanent and
once without. This is because a firewall reload takes more time than just repeating a command because it has to reload all configuration files and recreate the whole firewall configuration. While reloading, the policy for built-in chains is set to DROP for
security reasons and is then reset to ACCEPT at the end. Service disruption is therefore possible during the reload.IMPORTANT
The
--permanent
--add-interface option is supposed to be used only for interfaces that are not managed by theNetworkManager utility.
This is because NetworkManager,
or the legacy network service, adds interfaces into zones automatically according to the ZONE= directive
in the ifcfginterface
configuration file. See the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7 Networking Guide for information on NetworkManager and
working with ifcfg files.
To get a text display of the state of
firewalld,
enter the following command:
~]$ firewall-cmd --state
To view the list of active zones, with a list of the interfaces currently assigned to them, enter the following command:
~]$ firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
public
interfaces: em1
To find out the zone that an interface, for example em1,
is currently assigned to, enter the following command:
~]$ firewall-cmd --get-zone-of-interface=em1
public
To find out all the interfaces assigned to a zone, for example the public zone, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-interfaces
em1 wlan0
This information is obtained from NetworkManager and
only shows interfaces, not connections.
To find out all the settings of a zone, for example the public zone, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all
public
interfaces:
services: mdns dhcpv6-client ssh
ports:
forward-ports:
icmp-blocks: source-quench
To view the list of services currently loaded, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --get-services
cluster-suite pop3s bacula-client smtp ipp radius bacula ftp mdns samba dhcpv6-client dns openvpn imaps samba-client http https ntp vnc-server telnet libvirt ssh ipsec ipp-client amanda-client tftp-client nfs tftp libvirt-tls
This will list the names of the predefined services loaded from /usr/lib/firewalld/services/ as
well as any custom services that are currently loaded. Note that the configuration files themselves are named service-name.xml.
If custom services have been created but not loaded, they can be listed as follows:
~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --get-services
This will list all services, including custom services configured in /etc/firewalld/services/,
even if they are not yet loaded.
To start dropping all incoming and outgoing packets, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --panic-on
All incoming and outgoing packets will be dropped. Active connections will be terminated after a period of inactivity; the time taken depends on the individual session time out values.
To start passing incoming and outgoing packets again, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --panic-off
After disabling panic mode, established connections might work again if panic mode was enabled for a short period of time.
To find out if panic mode is enabled or disabled, enter the following command:
~]$ firewall-cmd --query-panic
Prints
yes with
exit status 0 if
enabled and no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
To reload the firewall without interrupting user connections (without losing state information), enter the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --reload
A firewall reload involves reloading all configuration files and recreating the whole firewall configuration. While reloading, the policy for built-in chains is set to DROP for security reasons and is then reset to ACCEPT at the end. Service disruption is therefore
possible during the reload.
To reload the firewall and interrupt user connections, discarding state information, enter the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --complete-reload
This command should normally only be used in case of severe firewall problems. For example, if there are state information problems and no connection can be established but the firewall rules are correct.
To add an interface to a zone (for example, to add em1 to
the
public zone),
enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-interface=em1
To make this setting persistent, repeat the commands adding the
--permanent option.
To add an interface to a zone by editing the
ifcfg-em1 configuration
file (for example, to add em1 to the work zone),
add the following line to ifcfg-em1as root:ZONE=work
Note that if you omit the
ZONE option,
or use ZONE=,
or ZONE='',
then the default zone will be used.
NetworkManager will
automatically reconnect and the zone will be set accordingly.
As
root,
open /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf and
edit the file as follows:# default zone # The default zone used if an empty zone string is used. # Default: public DefaultZone=home
Reload the firewall by entering the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --reload
This will reload the firewall without losing state information (TCP sessions will not be terminated), but service disruption is possible during the reload.
To set the default zone (to
public,
for example), enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=public
This change will take immediate effect and in this case it is not necessary to reload the firewall.
To list all open ports for a zone (
dmz,
for example), enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=dmz --list-ports
Note that this will not show ports opened as a result of the
--add-servicescommand.
To add a port to a zone (for example, to allow
TCP traffic
to port 8080 to
the dmz zone),
enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=dmz --add-port=8080/tcp
To make this setting persistent, repeat the command adding the
--permanent option.
To add a range of ports to a zone (for example, to allow the ports from
5060to 5061 to
the public zone,
enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5060-5061/udp
To make this setting persistent, repeat the command adding the
--permanent option.
To add a service to a zone (for example, to allow
SMTP to
the work zone),
enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=work --add-service=smtp
To make this setting persistent, repeat the command adding the
--permanent option.
To remove a service from a zone (for example, to remove
SMTP from
the work zone),
enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=work --remove-service=smtp
To make this change persistent, repeat the command adding the
--permanent option.
This change will not break established connections. If that is your intention, you can use the --complete-reload option,
but this will break all established connections—not just for the service you have removed.
To view the default zone files, enter the following command as
root:~]# ls /usr/lib/firewalld/zones/
block.xml drop.xml home.xml public.xml work.xml
dmz.xml external.xml internal.xml trusted.xml
These files must not be edited. They are used by default if no equivalent file exists in the
/etc/firewalld/zones/ directory.
To view the zone files that have been changed from the default, enter the following command as
root:~]# ls /etc/firewalld/zones/
external.xml public.xml public.xml.old
In the example shown above, the
work zone
file does not exist. To add the work zone file, enter the following command as root:~]# cp /usr/lib/firewalld/zones/work.xml /etc/firewalld/zones/
You can now edit the file in the
/etc/firewalld/zones/ directory.
If you delete the file, firewalld will
fall back to using the default file in /usr/lib/firewalld/zones/.
To add a service to a zone (for example, to allow
SMTP to
the work zone),
add the following line to the /etc/firewalld/zones/work.xml file
as root:<service name="smtp"/>
An editor running with
root privileges
is required to edit the XML zone files. To view the files for previously configured zones, enter the following command asroot:~]# ls /etc/firewalld/zones/
external.xml public.xml work.xml
To remove a service from a zone (for example, to remove
SMTP from
the work zone),
use an editor with root privileges
to edit the /etc/firewalld/zones/work.xml file
to remove the following line:<service name="smtp"/>
If no other changes have been made to the
work.xml file,
it can be removed and firewalld will
use the default /usr/lib/firewalld/zones/work.xml configuration
file after the next reload or system boot.
To check if IP masquerading is enabled (for the
external zone,
for example), enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --query-masquerade
The command prints
yes with
exit status 0 if
enabled. It prints no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
If zone is
omitted, the default zone will be used.
To enable IP masquerading, enter the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-masquerade
To make this setting persistent, repeat the command adding the
--permanent option.
To disable IP masquerading, enter the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --remove-masquerade
To make this setting persistent, repeat the command adding the
--permanent option.
To forward inbound network packets from one port to an alternative port or address, first enable IP address masquerading for a zone (
external,
for example), by entering the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-masquerade
To forward packets to a local port (a port on the same system), enter the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toport=3753
In this example, the packets intended for port
22 are
now forwarded to port 3753.
The original destination port is specified with the port option.
This option can be a port or port range, together with a protocol. The protocol, if specified, must be one of either tcp or udp.
The new local port (the port or range of ports to which the traffic is being forwarded to) is specified with the toport option.
To make this setting persistent, repeat the commands adding the --permanent option.
To forward packets to another
IPv4 address,
usually an internal address, without changing the destination port, enter the following command as root:~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toaddr=192.0.2.55
In this example, the packets intended for port
22 are
now forwarded to the same port at the address given with the toaddr.
The original destination port is specified with the port option.
This option can be a port or port range, together with a protocol. The protocol, if specified, must be one of either tcpor udp.
The new destination port (the port or range of ports to which the traffic is being forwarded to) is specified with the toport option.
To make this setting persistent, repeat the command adding the --permanent option.
To forward packets to another port at another
IPv4 address,
usually an internal address, enter the following command as root:~]#firewall-cmd --zone=external /--add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toport=2055:toaddr=192.0.2.55
In this example, the packets intended for port
22 are
now forwarded to port 2055 at
the address given with the toaddr option.
The original destination port is specified with the port option.
This option can be a port or port range, together with a protocol. The protocol, if specified, must be one of either tcpor udp.
The new destination port, the port or range of ports to which the traffic is being forwarded to, is specified with the toport option.
To make this setting persistent, repeat the command adding the --permanent option.
The configuration settings for firewalld are
stored in XML files in the
/etc/firewalld/ directory.
Do not edit the files in the /usr/lib/firewalld/ directory
(the files define the default settings). You will need root user
permissions to view and edit the XML files. The XML files are explained in three man pages:
-
firewalld.icmptype(5)man page — Describes XML configuration files forICMPfiltering.
-
firewalld.service(5)man page — Describes XML configuration files for firewalld service.
-
firewalld.zone(5)man page — Describes XML configuration files forfirewalldzone configuration.
The XML files can be created and edited directly or created indirectly using the graphical and command line tools. Organizations can distribute them in RPM files which can make management and version control easier. Tools such asPuppet can
distribute such configuration files.
It is possible to add and remove chains during runtime by using the
--direct option
with the firewall-cmd tool.
A few examples are presented here, see the firewall-cmd(1) man
page for more information.
It is dangerous to use the direct interface if you are not very familiar withiptables as
you could inadvertently cause a breach in the firewall.
The direct interface mode is intended for services or applications to add specific firewall rules during runtime. The rules can be made permanent by adding the
--permanent option
using the firewall-cmd
--permanent --direct command or by modifying /etc/firewalld/direct.xml.
See man firewalld.direct(5) for
information on the /etc/firewalld/direct.xml file.
To add a custom rule to the “IN_public_allow” chain,
issue the following command as
root:~]#firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter IN_public_allow \0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT
Add the
--permanent option
to make the setting persistent.
To remove a custom rule from the “IN_public_allow” chain,
issue the following command as
root:~]#firewall-cmd --direct --remove-rule ipv4 filter IN_public_allow \0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT
Add the
--permanent option
to make the setting persistent.
To list the rules in the “IN_public_allow” chain,
issue the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --direct --get-rules ipv4 filter IN_public_allow
Note that this command (the
--get-rules option)
only lists rules previously added using the --add-rule option.
It does not list existing iptables rules
added by other means.
With the “rich
language” syntax, complex firewall rules can be created in a way that is easier to understand than the direct-interface method. In addition, the settings can be made permanent. The language uses keywords with values and is an abstract representation
of iptables rules.
Zones can be configured using this language, the current configuration method will still be supported.
All the commands in this section need to be run as
root.
The format of the command to add a rule is as follows:firewall-cmd [--zone=zone] --add-rich-rule='rule' [--timeout=timeval]
This will add a rich language rule rule for zone zone.
This option can be specified multiple times. If the zone is omitted, the default zone is used. If a timeout is supplied, the rule or rules only stay active for the amount of time specified and will be removed automatically afterwards. The time value can be
followed by
s (seconds), m (minutes),
or h (hours)
to specify the unit of time. The default is seconds.
To remove a rule:
firewall-cmd [--zone=zone] --remove-rich-rule='rule'
This will remove a rich language rule rule for zone zone.
This option can be specified multiple times. If the zone is omitted, the default zone is used.
To check if a rule is present:
firewall-cmd [--zone=zone] --query-rich-rule='rule'
This will return whether a rich language rule rule has been added for
the zonezone. The command prints
yes with
exit status 0 if
enabled. It prints no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
If the zone is omitted, the default zone is used.
For information about the rich language representation used in the zone configuration files, see the firewalld.zone(5) man

The format or structure of the rich rule commands is as follows:
rule [family="rule family"] [ source address="address" [invert="True"] ] [ destination address="address" [invert="True"] ] [ element ] [ log [prefix="prefix text"] [level="log level"] [limit value="rate/duration"] ] [ audit ] [ action ]
A rule is associated with a particular zone. A zone can have several rules. If some rules interact or contradict, the first rule that matches the packet applies.
-
family -
If the rule family is provided, either
ipv4oripv6, it limits the rule toIPv4orIPv6respectively. If the rule family is not provided, the rule is added for bothIPv4andIPv6. If source or destination addresses are used in a rule, then the rule family needs to be provided. This is also the case for port forwarding.
Source and Destination Addresses
-
source -
By specifying the source address the origin of a connection attempt can be limited to the source address. A source address or address range is either an IP address or a network IP address with a mask for
IPv4orIPv6. The network family (IPv4orIPv6) will be automatically discovered. ForIPv4, the mask can be a network mask or a plain number. ForIPv6the mask is a plain number. The use of host names is not supported. It is possible to invert the sense of the source address command by addinginvert="true" orinvert="yes"; all but the supplied address will match. -
destination -
By specifying the destination address the target can be limited to the destination address. The destination address uses the same syntax as the source address. The use of source and destination addresses is optional and the use of a destination addresses is not possible with all elements. This depends on the use of destination addresses, for example in service entries.
Elements
The element can be only
one of the following element types:
service, port, protocol, masquerade, icmp-block and forward-port.-
service -
The service element is one of the firewalld provided services. To get a list of the predefined services, issue the following command:
~]$
If a service provides a destination address, it will conflict with a destination address in the rule and will result in an error. The services using destination addresses internally are mostly services using multicast. The command takes the following form:firewall-cmd --get-servicesservice name=service_name -
port -
The port element can either be a single port number or a port range, for example,
5060-5062, followed by the protocol, either astcporudp. The command takes the following form:port port=number_or_range protocol=protocol -
protocol -
The protocol value can be either a protocol ID number or a protocol name. For allowed protocol entries, see
/etc/protocols. The command takes the following form:protocol value=protocol_name_or_ID -
icmp-block -
Use this command to block one or more
ICMPtypes. TheICMPtype is one of theICMPtypes firewalld supports. To get a listing of supportedICMPtypes, issue the following command:~]$
Specifying an action is not allowed here.firewall-cmd --get-icmptypesicmp-blockuses the actionrejectinternally. The command takes the following form:icmp-block name=icmptype_name -
masquerade -
Turns on IP masquerading in the rule. A source address can be provided to limit masquerading to this area, but not a destination address. Specifying an action is not allowed here.
-
forward-port -
Forward packets from a local port with protocol specified as
tcporudpto either another port locally, to another machine, or to another port on another machine. Theportandto-portcan either be a single port number or a port range. The destination address is a simple IP address. Specifying an action is not allowed here. Theforward-portcommand uses the actionacceptinternally. The command takes the following form:forward-port port=number_or_range protocol=protocol /to-port=number_or_range to-addr=address
Logging
-
log -
Log new connection attempts to the rule with kernel logging, for example in syslog. You can define a prefix text that will be added to the log message as a prefix. Log level can be one of
emerg,alert,crit,error,warning,notice,infoordebug. The use of log is optional. It is possible to limit logging as follows:
The rate is a natural positive number [1, ..], the duration oflog [prefix=prefix text] [level=log level] limit value=rate/durations,m,h,d.smeans seconds,mminutes,hhours andddays. The maximum limit value is1/dwhich means at maximum one log entry per day. -
audit -
Audit provides an alternative way for logging using audit records sent to the service
auditd. The audit type can be one ofACCEPT,REJECTorDROPbut it is not specified after the commandauditas the audit type will be automatically gathered from the rule action. Audit does not have its own parameters, but limit can be added optionally. The use of audit is optional.
Action
-
accept|reject|drop -
An action can be one of
accept,rejectordrop. The rule can only contain an element or a source. If the rule contains an element, then new connections matching the element will be handled with the action. If the rule contains a source, then everything from the source address will be handled with the action specified.accept | reject [type=reject type] | dropWithacceptall new connection attempts will be granted. Withrejectthey will be rejected and their source will get a reject message. The reject type can be set to use another value. Withdropall packets will be dropped immediately and no information is sent to the source.
Logging can be done with the Netfilter log
target and also with the audit target. A new chain is added to all zones with a name in the format “zone_log”,
where zone is the zone name. This is processed before the
deny chain
in order to have proper ordering. The rules or parts of them are placed in separate chains, according to the action of the rule, as follows:zone_log zone_deny zone_allow
All logging rules will be placed in the “zone_log” chain,
which will be parsed first. All
reject and drop rules
will be placed in the “zone_deny” chain,
which will be parsed after the log chain. All accept rules
will be placed in the“zone_allow” chain,
which will be parsed after the deny chain.
If a rule contains log and
also deny or allow actions,
the parts of the rule that specify these actions are placed in the matching chains.
Enable new
IPv4 and IPv6 connections

Local applications or services are able to change the firewall configuration if they are running as
root (for
example, libvirt).
With this feature, the administrator can lock the firewall configuration so that either no applications, or only applications that are added to the lockdown whitelist, are able to request firewall changes. The lockdown settings default to disabled. If enabled,
the user can be sure that there are no unwanted configuration changes made to the firewall by local applications or services.
Using an editor running as
root,
add the following line to the /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf file
as follows:
Lockdown=yesReload the firewall using the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --reload
Try to enable the
imaps service
in the default zone using the following command as an administrative user (a user in the wheel group;
usually the first user on the system). You will be prompted for the user password:~]$ firewall-cmd --add-service=imaps
Error: ACCESS_DENIED: lockdown is enabled
To enable the use of firewall-cmd,
issue the following command as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --add-lockdown-whitelist-command='/usr/bin/python -Es /usr/bin/firewall-cmd*'
Add the
--permanent option
if you want to make it persistent.
Reload the firewall as
root:~]# firewall-cmd --reload
Try to enable the
imaps service
again in the default zone by entering the following command as an administrative user. You will be prompted for the user password:~]$ firewall-cmd --add-service=imaps
This time the command succeeds.
To query whether lockdown is enabled, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --query-lockdown
Prints yes with
exit status 0,
if lockdown is enabled, prints no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
To enable lockdown, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --lockdown-on
To disable lockdown, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --lockdown-off
The lockdown whitelist can contain commands, security contexts, users and user IDs. If a command entry on the whitelist ends with an asterisk “*”,
then all command lines starting with that command will match. If the “*” is
not there then the absolute command including arguments must match.
The context is the security (SELinux) context of a running application or service. To get the context of a running application use the following command:
~]$ ps -e --context
That command returns all running applications. Pipe the output through thegrep tool
to get the application of interest. For example:
~]$ ps -e --context | grep example_program
To list all command lines that are on the whitelist, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --list-lockdown-whitelist-commands
To add a command command to the whitelist, enter the following command
as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --add-lockdown-whitelist-command='/usr/bin/python -Es /usr/bin/command'
To remove a command command from the whitelist, enter the following
command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --remove-lockdown-whitelist-command='/usr/bin/python -Es /usr/bin/command'
To query whether the command command is on the whitelist, enter the
following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --query-lockdown-whitelist-command='/usr/bin/python -Es /usr/bin/command'
Prints yes with
exit status 0,
if true, prints no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
To list all security contexts that are on the whitelist, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --list-lockdown-whitelist-contexts
To add a context context to the whitelist, enter the following command
as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --add-lockdown-whitelist-context=context
Add the --permanent option
to make it persistent.
To remove a context context from the whitelist, enter the following
command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --remove-lockdown-whitelist-context=context
Add the --permanent option
to make it persistent.
To query whether the context context is on the whitelist, enter the
following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --query-lockdown-whitelist-context=context
Prints yes with
exit status 0,
if true, prints no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
To list all user IDs that are on the whitelist, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --list-lockdown-whitelist-uids
To add a user ID uid to the whitelist, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --add-lockdown-whitelist-uid=uid
Add the --permanent option
to make it persistent.
To remove a user ID uid from the whitelist, enter the following command
as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --remove-lockdown-whitelist-uid=uid
Add the --permanent option
to make it persistent.
To query whether the user ID uid is on the whitelist, enter the following
command:
~]$ firewall-cmd --query-lockdown-whitelist-uid=uid
Prints yes with
exit status 0,
if true, prints no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
To list all user names that are on the whitelist, enter the following command as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --list-lockdown-whitelist-users
To add a user name user to the whitelist, enter the following command
as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --add-lockdown-whitelist-user=user
Add the --permanent option
to make it persistent.
To remove a user name user from the whitelist, enter the following command
as
root:
~]# firewall-cmd --remove-lockdown-whitelist-user=user
Add the --permanent option
to make it persistent.
To query whether the user name user is on the whitelist, enter the following
command:
~]$ firewall-cmd --query-lockdown-whitelist-user=user
Prints yes with
exit status 0,
if true, prints no with
exit status 1 otherwise.
The default whitelist configuration file contains the NetworkManager context
and the default context of libvirt.
Also the user ID 0 is in the list.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <whitelist> <selinux context="system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0"/> <selinux context="system_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023"/> <user id="0"/> </whitelist>
Here follows an example whitelist configuration file enabling all commands for the
firewall-cmd utility,
for a user called user whose user ID is 815:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <whitelist> <command name="/usr/bin/python -Es /bin/firewall-cmd*"/> <selinux context="system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0"/> <user id="815"/> <user name="user"/> </whitelist>In this example we have shown both
user
id and user
name but only one is required. Python is the interpreter and therefore prepended to the command line. You can also use a very specific command, for example:
/usr/bin/python /bin/firewall-cmd --lockdown-on--lockdown-on command
will be allowed.
NOTE
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, all utilities are now placed in
/usr/bin/ and
the /bin/ directory
is sym-linked to the /usr/bin/ directory.
In other words, although the path for firewall-cmd when
run as root might
resolve to /bin/firewall-cmd, /usr/bin/firewall-cmd can
now be used. All new scripts should use the new location but be aware that if scripts that run as root have
been written to use the /bin/firewall-cmd path
then that command path must be whitelisted in addition to the /usr/bin/firewall-cmd path
traditionally used only for non-root users.
The “*” at
the end of the name attribute of a command means that all commands that start with this string will match. If the “*” is
not there then the absolute command including arguments must match.
To use the
iptables and ip6tables services
instead of firewalld,
first disable firewalld by
running the following command as root:
~]#systemctl disable firewalld~]#systemctl stop firewalld
Then install the iptables-services package by entering
the following command as
root:
~]# yum install iptables-services
The iptables-services package contains the iptables service
and the ip6tables service.
Then, to start the
iptables and ip6tables services,
run the following commands as root:
~]#To enable the services to start on every system start, enter the following commands:systemctl start iptables~]#systemctl start ip6tables
~]#systemctl enable iptables~]#systemctl enable ip6tables
The ipset utility
is used to administer IP sets in the Linux kernel. An IP set is a framework
for storing IP addresses, port numbers, IP and MAC address pairs, or IP address and port number pairs. The sets are indexed in such a way that very fast matching can be made against a set even when the sets are very large. IP sets enable simpler and more manageable
configurations as well as providing performance advantages when using iptables.
The iptablesmatches
and targets referring to sets create references which protect the given sets in the kernel. A set cannot be destroyed while there is a single reference pointing to it.
The use of ipset enables iptables commands,
such as those below, to be replaced by a set:
~]#The set is created as follows:iptables -A INPUT -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j DROP~]#iptables -A INPUT -s 172.16.0.0/12 -j DROP~]#iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j DROP
~]#The set is then referenced in an iptables command as follows:ipset create my-block-set hash:net~]#ipset add my-block-set 10.0.0.0/8~]#ipset add my-block-set 172.16.0.0/12~]#ipset add my-block-set 192.168.0.0/16
~]# iptables -A INPUT -m set --set my-block-set src -j DROP
If the set is used more than once a saving in configuration time is made. If the set contains many entries a saving in processing time is made.
To use IP sets with firewalld,
a permanent direct rule is required to reference the set, and a custom service must be created and started before firewalldstarts
for every
ipset.
You can add permanent direct rules with the /etc/firewalld/direct.xml file.Procedure 4.1. Configuring a Custom Service for an IP Set
Configure a custom service to create and load the IP set structure beforefirewalld starts.
-
Using an editor running as
root, create a file as follows:~]#
vi /etc/systemd/system/ipset_name.service[Unit] Description=ipset_name Before=firewalld.service [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ipset_name.sh start ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/ipset_name.sh stop [Install] WantedBy=basic.target -
Use the IP set permanently in firewalld:
~]# vi
/etc/firewalld/direct.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <direct> <rule ipv="ipv4" table="filter" chain="INPUT" priority="0">-m set --match-set <replaceable>ipset_name</replaceable> src -j DROP</rule> </direct> -
A firewalld reload is required to activate the changes:
~]#
This will reload the firewall without losing state information (TCP sessions will not be terminated), but service disruption is possible during the reload.firewall-cmd --reload
To install the ipset utility,
issue the following command as
root:
~]# yum install ipset
To see the usage message:
~]$ ipset --help
ipset v6.11
Usage: ipset [options] COMMAND
output truncated
The format of the ipset command
is as follows:
ipset [options] command [command-options]
Where command is one of:
create | add | del | test | destroy | list | save | restore | flush | rename | swap | help | version | -Allowed options are:
-exist | -output [ plain | save | xml ] | -quiet | -resolve | -sorted | -name | -terse
The
create command
is used to create a new data structure to store a set of IP data. The add command
adds new data to the set, the data added is referred to as an element of the set.
The
-exist option
suppresses error message if the element already exists, and it has a special role in updating a time out value. To change a time out, use the ipset
add command and specify all the data for the element again, changing only the time out value as required, and using the -exist option.
The
test option
is for testing if the element already exists within a set.
The format of the
create command
is as follows:
ipset create set-name type-name [create-options]
The set-name is a suitable name chosen by the user, the type-name is
the name of the data structure used to store the data comprising the set. The format of the type-name is
as follows:
method:datatype[,datatype[,datatype]]
The allowed methods for storing data are:
bitmap | hash | listThe allowed data types are:
ip | net | mac | port | ifaceWhen adding, deleting, or testing entries in a set, the same comma separated data syntax must be used for the data that makes up one entry, or element, in the set. For example:
ipset add set-name ipaddr,portnum,ipaddr
NOTE
A set cannot contain
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
at the same time. When a set is created it is bound to a family, inet for IPv4 or inet6 for IPv6,
and the default is inet.
Example 4.2. Create an IP Set
To create an IP set consisting of a source IP address, a port, and destination IP address, issue a command as follows:
~]# ipset create my-set hash:ip,port,ip
Once the set is created, entries can be added as follows:
~]#ipset add my-set 192.168.1.2,80,192.168.2.2~]#ipset add my-set 192.168.1.2,443,192.168.2.2
The set types have the following optional parameters in common. They must be specified when the set is created in order for them to be used:
-
timeout— The value given with thecreatecommand will be the default value for the set created. If a value is given with theaddcommand, it will be the initial non-default value for the element. -
counters— If the option is given with thecreatecommand then packet and byte counters are created for every element in the set. If no value is given with theaddcommand then the counters start from zero. -
comment— If the option is given with thecreatecommand then a quoted string of text can be passed with theaddcommand to document the purpose of the element being added. Note that quotation marks are not allowed within the string, and escape characters will have no effect within IP set.
Example 4.3. List an IP Set
To list the contents of a specific IP Set,
my-set,
issue a command as follows:~]# ipset list my-set
Name: my-set
Type: hash:ip,port,ip
Header: family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 65536
Size in memory: 8360
References: 0
Members:
192.168.1.2,tcp:80,192.168.2.2
192.168.1.2,tcp:443,192.168.2.2
Omit the set name to list all sets.
Example 4.4. Test the Elements of an IP Set
Listing the contents of large sets is time consuming. You can test for the existence of an element as follows:
~]# ipset test my-set 192.168.1.2,80,192.168.2.2
192.168.1.2,tcp:80,192.168.2.2 is in set my-set.
- bitmap:ip
-
Stores an IPv4 host address, a network range, or an IPv4 network addresses with the prefix-length in CIDR notation if the
netmaskoption is used when the set is created. It can optionally store a timeout value, a counter value, and a comment. It can store up to65536entries. The command to create thebitmap:ipset has the following format:ipset create set-name range start_ipaddr-end_ipaddr |ipaddr/prefix-length [netmask prefix-length] [timeout value] [counters] [comment]
Example 4.5. Create an IP Set for a Range of Addresses Using a Prefix Length
To create an IP set for a range of addresses using a prefix length, make use of the
bitmap:ip set
type as follows:
~]# ipset create my-range bitmap:ip range 192.168.33.0/28
Once the set is created, entries can be added as follows:
~]# ipset add my-range 192.168.33.1
Review the members of the list:
~]# ipset list my-range
Name: my-range
Type: bitmap:ip
Header: range 192.168.33.0-192.168.33.15
Size in memory: 84
References: 0
Members:
192.168.33.1
To add a range of addresses:
~]# ipset add my-range 192.168.33.2-192.168.33.4
Review the members of the list:
~]# ipset list my-range
Name: my-range
Type: bitmap:ip
Header: range 192.168.33.0-192.168.33.15
Size in memory: 84

192.168.33.1
192.168.33.2
192.168.33.3
192.168.33.4
Example 4.6. Create an IP Set for a Range of Addresses Using a Netmask
To create an IP set for a range of address using a netmask, make use of the
bitmap:ip set
type as follows:
~]# ipset create my-big-range bitmap:ip range 192.168.124.0-192.168.126.0 netmask 24
Once the set is created, entries can be added as follows:
~]# ipset add my-big-range 192.168.124.0
If you attempt to add an address, the range containing that address will be added:
~]#ipset add my-big-range 192.168.125.150~]#ipset list my-big-rangeName: my-big-range Type: bitmap:ip Header: range 192.168.124.0-192.168.126.255 netmask 24 Size in memory: 84 References: 0 Members: 192.168.124.0 192.168.125.0
- bitmap:ip,mac
-
Stores an IPv4 address and a MAC address as a pair. It can store up to
65536entries.ipset create my-range bitmap:ip,mac range start_ipaddr-end_ipaddr | ipaddr/prefix-length [timeout value ] [counters] [comment]
Example 4.7. Create an IP Set for a Range of IPv4 MAC Address Pairs
To create an IP set for a range of IPv4 MAC address pairs, make use of the
bitmap:ip,mac set
type as follows:
~]# ipset create my-range bitmap:ip,mac range 192.168.1.0/24
It is not necessary to specify a MAC address when creating the set.
Once the set is created, entries can be added as follows:
~]# ipset add my-range 192.168.1.1,12:34:56:78:9A:BC
- bitmap:port
-
Stores a range of ports. It can store up to
65536entries.ipset create my-port-range bitmap:port range start_port-end_port [timeout value ] [counters] [comment]
The set match and SET target netfilter kernel modules interpret the stored numbers as TCP or UDP port numbers. The protocol can optionally be specified together with the port. Theprotoonly needs to be specified if a service name is used, and that name does not exist as a TCP service.
Example 4.8. Create an IP Set for a Range of Ports
To create an IP set for a range of ports, make use of the
bitmap:port set
type as follows:
~]# ipset create my-permitted-port-range bitmap:port range 1024-49151
Once the set is created, entries can be added as follows:
~]# ipset add my-permitted-port-range 5060-5061
- hash:ip
-
Stores a host or network address in the form of a hash. By default, an address specified without a network prefix length is a host address. The all-zero IP address cannot be stored.
ipset create my-addresses hash:ip [family[ inet | inet6 ]] [hashsize value] [maxelem value ] [netmask prefix-length] [timeout value ]
Theinetfamily is the default, iffamilyis omitted addresses will be interpreted as IPv4 addresses. Thehashsizevalue is the initial hash size to use and defaults to1024. Themaxelemvalue is the maximum number of elements which can be stored in the set, it defaults to65536.The netfilter tool searches for a network prefix which is the most specific, it tries to find the smallest block of addresses that match.
Example 4.9. Create an IP Set for IP Addresses
To create an IP set for IP addresses, make use of the
hash:ip set
type as follows:
~]# ipset create my-addresses hash:ip
Once the set is created, entries can be added as follows:
~]# ipset add my-addresses 10.10.10.0
If additional options such as netmask and timeout are required, they must be specified when the set is created. For example:
~]# ipset create my-busy-addresses hash:ip maxelem 24 netmask 28 timeout 100
The maxelem option
restricts to total number of elements in the set, thus conserving memory space.
The timeout option means that elements will only exist in the set for the number of seconds specified. For example:
~]# ipset add my-busy-addresses 192.168.60.0 timeout 100
The following output shows the time counting down:
~]#The element will be removed from the set when the timeout period ends.ipset list my-busy-addressesName: my-busy-addresses Type: hash:ip Header: family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 24 netmask 28 timeout 100 Size in memory: 8300 References: 0 Members: 192.168.60.0 timeout 90 ~]#ipset list my-busy-addressesName: my-busy-addresses Type: hash:ip Header: family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 24 netmask 28 timeout 100 Size in memory: 8300 References: 0 Members: 192.168.60.0 timeout 83
