Presentation
Firewalld is the new userland interface in RHEL 7. It replaces the iptables interface and connects to the netfilter kernel code. It mainly improves the security rules management by allowing configuration changes without stopping the current connections.To know if Firewalld is running, type:
# systemctl status firewalld firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2014-06-17 11:14:49 CEST; 5 days ago ...or alternatively:
# firewall-cmd --state running
Note: If Firewalld is not running, the command displays not running.
If you’ve got several network interfaces in IPv4, you will have to activate ip_forwarding.
To do that, paste the following line in the /etc/sysctl.conf file:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Then, activate the configuration:
# sysctl -pAlthough Firewalld is the RHEL 7 way to deal with firewalls and provides many improvements, iptables can still be used.
Zone management
Also, a new concept of zone appears : all network interfaces can be located in the same default zone or divided into different ones according to the levels of trust defined.To get the default zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --get-default-zone public
To get the list of zones where you’ve got network interfaces assigned to, type:
# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones public interfaces: eth0
To get the list of all the available zones, type:
# firewall-cmd --get-zones block dmz drop external home internal public trusted work
To get all the details about the public zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all public (default, active) interfaces: eth0 sources: services: dhcpv6-client ssh ports: masquerade: no forward-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules:
To change the default zone to home permanently, type:
# firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=home successNetwork interfaces can be assigned to a zone in a temporary (until the next reboot or reload) or permanent way.
To assign the eth0 network interface temporary to the internal zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --zone=internal --change-interface=eth0 successTo assign the eth0 network interface permanently to the internal zone (a file called internal.xml is created in the /etc/firewalld/zones directory), type:
# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --change-interface=eth0 successTo know which zone is associated with the eth0 interface, type:
# firewall-cmd --get-zone-of-interface=eth0 internal
Service management
After assigning each network interface to a zone, it is now possible to add services to each zone.To allow the http service permanently in the internal zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --add-service=http success # firewall-cmd --reload
Note1: Type –remove-service=http to deny the http service.
Note2: The firewall-cmd –reload command is necessary to activate the change. Contrary to the –complete-reload option, current connections are not stopped.
To get the list of services in the default zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --list-services dhcpv6-client ssh
Note: To get the list of the services in a particular zone, add the –zone= option.
Service firewall configuration
With the Firewalld package, the firewall configuration of the main services (ftp, httpd, etc) comes in the /usr/lib/firewalld/services directory. But it is still possible to add new ones in the /etc/firewalld/services directory. Also, if files exist at both locations for the same service, the file in the /etc/firewalld/services directory takes precedence.For example, it is the case of the HAProxy service. There is no firewall configuration associated.
Create the /etc/firewalld/services/haproxy.xml and paste the following lines:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <service> <short>HAProxy</short> <description>HAProxy load-balancer</description> <port protocol="tcp" port="80"/> </service>
Assign the correct SELinux context and file permissions to the haproxy.xml file:
# cd /etc/firewalld/services # restorecon haproxy.xml # chmod 640 haproxy.xml
Add the HAProxy service to the default zone permanently and reload the firewall configuration:
# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=haproxy # firewall-cmd --reload
Port management
Port management follows the same model as service management.To allow the 443/tcp port temporary in the internal zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --zone=internal --add-port=443/tcp success # firewall-cmd --reload
Note: type –remove-port=443/tcp to deny the port.
To get the list of ports open in the internal zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --zone=internal --list-ports 443/tcp
Masquerading
If your firewall is your network gateway and you don’t want everybody to know your internal addresses, you can set up two zones, one called internal, the other external, and configure masquerading on the external zone. This way, all packets will get your firewall ip address as source address.To set up masquerading on the external zone, type:
# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-masquerade
Note1: To remove masquerading, use the –remove-masquerade option.
Note2: To know if masquerading is active in a zone, use the –query-masquerade option.
Port forwarding
In addition to the masquerading, you can want to use port forwarding.If you want all packets intended for port 22 to be now forwarded to port 3753, type:
# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toport=3753
Note1: To remove port forwarding, use the –remove-forward-port option.
Note2: To know if port forwarding is active in a zone, use the –query-forward-port option.
Note2: To know if port forwarding is active in a zone, use the –query-forward-port option.
Also, if you want to define the destination ip address, type:
# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toport=3753:toaddr=10.0.0.1
Direct rules
It is still possible to set specific rules by using the direct mode (here to open the tcp port 9000) that by-passes the Firewalld interface:# firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter INPUT 0 -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT success # firewall-cmd --reload
Note: This last example has been borrowed from Khosro Taraghi’s blog.
To display all the direct rules added, type:# firewall-cmd --direct --get-all-rules
FIREWALLD.RICHLANGUAGE
firewalld.richlanguage — Rich Language DocumentationDescription
With the rich language more complex firewall rules can be created in an easy to understand way. The language uses keywords with values and is an abstract representation of ip*tables rules.The rich language extends the current zone elements (service, port, icmp-block, masquerade and forward-port) with additional source and destination addresses, logging, actions and limits for logs and actions.
This page describes the rich language used in the command line client and D-Bus interface. For information about the rich language representation used in the zone configuration files, please have a look at firewalld.zone(5).
A rule is part of a zone. One zone can contain several rules. If some rules interact/contradict, the first rule that matches "wins".
General rule structure
rule
[source]
[destination]
service|port|protocol|icmp-block|masquerade|forward-port
[log]
[audit]
[accept|reject|drop]
The complete rule is provided as a single line string. A destination
is allowed here as long as it does not conflict with the destination of a
service.Rule structure for source black or white listing
rule
source
[log]
[audit]
accept|reject|drop
This is used to grant or limit access from a source to this machine
or machines that are reachable by this machine. A destination is not
allowed here.Important information about element options: Options for elements in a rule need to be added exactly after the element. If the option is placed somewhere else it might be used for another element as far as it matches the options of the other element or will result in a rule error.
Rule
rule [family="ipv4|ipv6"]
If the rule family is provided, it can be either "ipv4" or "ipv6",
which limits the rule to IPv4 or IPv6. If the rule family is not
provided, the rule will be added for IPv4 and IPv6. If source or
destination addresses are used in a rule, then the rule family need to
be provided. This is also the case for port/packet forwarding.Source
source [not] address="address[/mask]"
With the source address the origin of a connection attempt can be
limited to the source address. An address is either a single IP address,
or a network IP address. The address has to match the rule family
(IPv4/IPv6). Subnet mask is expressed in either dot-decimal (/x.x.x.x)
or prefix (/x) notations for IPv4, and in prefix notation (/x) for IPv6
network addresses. It is possible to invert the sense of an address by
adding
not
before
address. All but the specified address will match then.Destination
destination [not] address="address[/mask]"
With the destination address the target can be limited to the
destination address. The destination address is using 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.
Service
service name="service name"
The service
service name
will be added to the rule. The service name is one of the firewalld
provided services. To get a list of the supported services, use
firewall-cmd --get-services.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.
Port
port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp"
The port
port value
can either be a single port number
portid
or a port range
portid-portid. The protocol can either be
tcp
or
udp.Protocol
protocol value="protocol value"
The protocol value can be either a protocol id number or a protocol name. For allowed protocol entries, please have a look at
/etc/protocols
.ICMP-Block
icmp-block name="icmptype name"
The icmptype is the one of the icmp types firewalld supports. To get a listing of supported icmp types:
firewall-cmd --get-icmptypesIt is not allowed to specify an action here. icmp-block uses the action reject internally.
Masquerade
masquerade
Turn on masquerading in the rule. A source and also a destination address can be provided to limit masquerading to this area.It is not allowed to specify an action here.
Forward-Port
forward-port port="port value" protocol="tcp|udp" to-port="port value" to-addr="address"
Forward port/packets from local port value with protocol "tcp" or
"udp" to either another port locally or to another machine or to another
port on another machine.The port value can either be a single port number or a port range portid-portid. The to-addr is an IP address.
It is not allowed to specify an action here. forward-port uses the action accept internally.
Log
log [prefix="prefix text"] [level="log level"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
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", "info" or "debug", where default (i.e. if theres no one specified) is "warning". See
syslog(3)
for description of levels. See Limit section for description of
limit
tag.Audit
audit [limit value="rate/duration"]
Audit provides an alternative way for logging using audit records
sent to the service auditd. Audit type will be discovered from the rule
action automatically. Use of audit is optional. See Limit section for
description of
limit
tag.Action
An action can be one of accept, reject or drop.The rule can either contain an element or also a source only. If the rule contains an element, then new connection matching the element will be handled with the action. If the rule does not contain an element, then everything from the source address will be handled with the action.
accept [limit value="rate/duration"]
reject [type="reject type"] [limit value="rate/duration"]
drop [limit value="rate/duration"]
With
accept
all new connection attempts will be granted. With
reject
they will not be accepted and their source will get a reject ICMP(v6)
message. The reject type can be set to specify appropriate ICMP(v6)
error message. For valid reject types see
--reject-with type
in
iptables-extensions(8)
man page. Because reject types are different for IPv4 and IPv6 you have to specify rule family when using reject type. With
drop
all packets will be dropped immediately, there is no information sent to the source. See Limit section for description of
limit
tag.Limit
limit value="rate/duration"
It is possible to limit Log, Audit and Action. A rule using this tag
will match until this limit is reached. The rate is a natural positive
number [1, ..] The duration is of "s", "m", "h", "d". "s" means seconds,
"m" minutes, "h" hours and "d" days. Maximum limit value is "2/d",
which means at maximum two matches per day.Information About Logging and Actions
Logging can be done with the log and also with audit. A new chain is added to all zones: zone_log. This will be jumped into before the deny chain to be able to have a proper ordering.The rules or parts of them are placed in separate chains according to the action of the rule:
zone_log
zone_deny
zone_allow
Then all logging rules will be placed in the zone_log chain, which
will be walked first. All reject and drop rules will be placed in the
zone_deny chain, which will be walked after the log chain. All accept
rules will be placed in the zone_allow chain, which will be walked after
the deny chain. If a rule contains log and also deny or allow actions,
the parts are placed in the matching chains.Examples
These are examples of how to specify rich language rules. This format (i.e. one string that specifies whole rule) uses for example firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule (see firewall-cmd(1)) as well as D-Bus interface.Example 2
Allow new IPv4 and IPv6 connections for service ftp and log 1 per minute using auditrule service name="ftp" log limit value="1/m" audit accept
Example 3
Allow new IPv4 connections from address 192.168.0.0/24 for service tftp and log 1 per minutes using syslogrule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.0.0/24" service name="tftp" log prefix="tftp" level="info" limit value="1/m" accept
Example 4
New IPv6 connections from 1:2:3:4:6:: to service radius are all rejected and logged at a rate of 3 per minute. New IPv6 connections from other sources are accepted.rule family="ipv6" source address="1:2:3:4:6::" service name="radius" log prefix="dns" level="info" limit value="3/m" reject
rule family="ipv6" service name="radius" accept
Example 5
Forward IPv6 port/packets receiving from 1:2:3:4:6:: on port 4011 with protocol tcp to 1::2:3:4:7 on port 4012rule family="ipv6" source address="1:2:3:4:6::" forward-port to-addr="1::2:3:4:7" to-port="4012" protocol="tcp" port="4011"
Example 6
White-list source address to allow all connections from 192.168.2.2rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.2" accept
Example 7
Black-list source address to reject all connections from 192.168.2.3rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.2.3" reject type="icmp-admin-prohibited"

Managing firewalld with firewall-cmdWhat is firewall-cmd
In addition to the graphical tool firewall-config rules can also be managed with the command line utility "firewall-cmd". Below is a quick overview of some of the basic commands. For a full list of all functionality, please refer to the relevant man pages or documentation listed below."firewall-cmd" comes as part of the firewalld application and is installed by default. You can verify your installation by issuing the following command from the command line:[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --version 0.3.9
From the above output taken from a CentOS 7 server, we can see that the version is "0.3.9". If you need help at any time, you can issue the command: firewall-cmd --help An overview of the commands and options will be displayed to your console/terminal session.Permanent and Temporary Changes to rules and settings
Before we look at some of the options available to the firewall-cmd tool, we need to understand the following: To make a command permanent or persistent the option --permanent needs to be added to the command. It is important to note that this means the change will be permanent but the change will only take effect after the firewall has been re-loaded or after a system restart. Commands issued without the --permanent option take effect immediately. These changes are only valid until the next firewall re-load, system re-boot. When you reload the firewall you are discarding any temporary changes you have made.View the current state of the firewall
To view the current state of the firewall, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --state[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --state running
View Active Zones and interfaces
To view a list of active zones along with a list of interfaces that are currently assigned to that zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --get-active-zones[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones public interfaces: enp0s3
Zone lookup for an interface
If you need to find out which zone a particular interface is currently assigned to, then issue the following command: firewall-cmd --get-zone-of-interface=interface_name[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --get-zone-of-interface=enp0s3 public
If you are unsure of your interface name, you may issue the following command to identify the name: nmcli d[root@centos07b ~]# nmcli d DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION enp0s3 ethernet connected enp0s3 lo loopback unmanaged --
Find out all the interfaces assigned to a zone
To display all the interfaces that are assigned to a zone, for example the public zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-interfaces The information is retrieved from the NetworkManager and Only shows interfaces and Not connections.[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-interfaces enp0s3
View all settings of a zone
To view all the settings for a specified zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all public (default, active) interfaces: enp0s3 sources: services: dhcpv6-client ssh ports: masquerade: no forward-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules:
View currently Active Services
To view the currently active services, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --get-service[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --get-service amanda-client bacula bacula-client dhcp dhcpv6 dhcpv6-client dns ftp high-availability http https imaps ipp ipp-client ipsec kerberos kpasswd ldap ldaps libvirt libvirt-tls mdns mountd ms-wbt mysql nfs ntp openvpn pmcd pmproxy pmwebapi pmwebapis pop3s postgresql proxy-dhcp radius rpc-bind samba samba-client smtp ssh telnet tftp tftp-client transmission-client vnc-server wbem-https
View Services that will be active after a reload
To view services that will be active after the next firewall reload or system reboot, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --get-service --permanent[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --get-service --permanent amanda-client bacula bacula-client dhcp dhcpv6 dhcpv6-client dns ftp high-availability http https imaps ipp ipp-client ipsec kerberos kpasswd ldap ldaps libvirt libvirt-tls mdns mountd ms-wbt mysql nfs ntp openvpn pmcd pmproxy pmwebapi pmwebapis pop3s postgresql proxy-dhcp radius rpc-bind samba samba-client smtp ssh telnet tftp tftp-client transmission-client vnc-server wbem-https
Activate Panic Mode - Drop All Packets
To start dropping all incoming and outgoing packets, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --panic-on[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --panic-on success
Note: Be careful if you issue this command from a remote terminal as you will loose the ability to enter a command! Active connections will be terminated after a period of inactivity. This length of time is dependant on the the individual session time out values that are set.Deactivate Panic Mode - Allow traffic again
To allow traffic again to pass, issue the following command to disable panic mode:firewall-cmd --panic-off[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --panic-off success
After switching panic mode off, connections may be restored depending on the length of time that panic mode was enabled for.Display current status of Panic Mode
To check if you have panic mode set to "on" or "off", issue the following command: firewall-cmd --query-panic[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --query-panic no
The answer "yes" or "no" will be returned.Reload the Firewall without Disruption
You can reload the firewall without interrupting the connections of users by issuing the following command: firewall-cmd --reload[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --reload success
Reload the Firewall and discard state
The following command should only be run when you are encountering severe problems with your firewall: firewall-cmd --complete-reload[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --complete-reload success
Adding an Interface to a Zone
To add an interface to a specified zone using the firewall-cmd command, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-interface=interface_name The following adds the interface "enp0s3" to the public zone.[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-interface=enp0s3
To make this setting permanent, add the --permanent option and reload the firewall.Setting the Default Zone
To set the default zone to "public", issue the following command: firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=public[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=public
Displaying Open Ports
To list all open ports on a specified zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=zone --list-ports The example below is issued against the public zone.[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-ports
Add a port to a Zone
To add a port to a specified zone, issue the following command: Example: Allow TCP traffic through port 3181 to the public zone:[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=3181/tcp success [root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-ports 3181/tcp
By using the list port command, we can verify our change was successful. To make this change Permanent, add the "--permanent" option and reload the firewall.Adding a range of ports
To add a range of ports to a specified zone from the command line, you can issue the following command: Example: Allow TCP traffic through ports 3182-3185 in the public zone:[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=3182-3185/tcp success [root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-ports 3181/tcp 3182-3185/tcp
By using the list port command, we can verify our change was successful. To make this change Permanent, add the "--permanent" option and reload the firewall.Add a Service to a Zone
To add a service to a zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=zone --add-service=service Example: Adding the service smtp into the work zone:[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=work --add-service=smtp success
For this to be a permanent change, you need to specify the option --permanent and then reload the firewall.Remove a Service from a Zone
To remove a specified service from a specified zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=zone --remove-service=smtp Example: Remove the service smtp from the zone work:[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=work --remove-service=smtp success
For this to be a permanent change, you need to specify the option --permanent and then reload the firewall.Configure IP Address Masquerading
To check as to whether IP masquerading has been enabled, the following command can be issued: firewall-cmd --zone=external --query-masquerade[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --query-masquerade yes
If IP Masquerading is enabled, the reply "yes" will be displayed, otherwise the reply "no" will be displayed. If no zone is specified, then the default zone is used.[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --query-masquerade no
Enabling IP Masquerading for a Specified Zone
To enable IP Masquerading for a zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=zone --add-masquerade[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-masquerade success
To make the above setting permanent, add the --permanent option and reload the firewall.Disable IP Masquerading for a Specified Zone
To disable IP Masquerading for a zone, issue the following command: firewall-cmd --zone=zone --remove-masquerade[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --remove-masquerade success
To make the above setting permanent, add the --permanent option and reload the firewall.Configuring Port Forwarding from the command line
To forward inbound network traffic packets from one port to an alternative port or address, first enable IP address masquerading for a zone.# firewall-cmd --zone=zone --add-masquerade
To forward locally (to a port on the same system), issue the following command:[root@centos07b ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toport=2468 success
In the above example, packets that are intended for port 22 are now forwarded to port 2468. The original destination port is specified with the port option. This option can be a port, or a range of ports together with a specified protocol. The protocol if specified must be either "tcp" or "udp". The new local port or the range of ports to which the traffic is being forwarded to is specified with the toport option. To make these setting permanent, add the --permanent option and reload the firewall. To forward packets to an internal address, without changing the destination port, issue the following command:# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toaddr=192.168.0.88
In the above example, the packets that are intended for port 22 are now forwarded to the same port at the specified IP address (192.168.0.88) that is passed to the toaddr parameter. The original destination port is specified with the port parameter. This option can be a port, or a range of ports, together with a protocol. The protocol, if specified, must be either "tcp" or "udp". To make the above setting permanent, add the --permanent option and reload the firewall. To forward packets to another port at another IPv4 address, usually an internal address, issue the following command:# firewall-cmd --zone=external --add-forward-port=port=22:proto=tcp:toport=3579:toaddr=192.168.0.88
In the above example, the packets that were intended for port 22 are now being sent to port 3579 at IP address 192.168.0.88 To make the above setting permanent, add the --permanent option and reload the firewall.Sources

How to open http port 80 on Redhat 7 Linux using firewall-cmd
By default the port 80 for http connection is filtered on Redhat 7 as you can only access this port from the actual localhost and not from any other public host. To open a port 80 on RHEL 7 Linux we need to add aniptables
rule. For this RHEL7 usesfirewall-cmd
. First add your port 80 rule with a following command:[root@rhel7 ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanentOnce you add the above firewall rule reload firewall service:[root@rhel7 ~]# firewall-cmd --reloadAnd check whether the port was added to ipatables rules:[root@rhel7 ~]# iptables-save | grep 80 -A IN_public_allow -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPTIf you decide to block/remove http port 80 firewall rule you can again use the firewall-cmd
command:[root@rhel7 ~]# iptables-save | grep 80 -A IN_public_allow -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT [root@rhel7 ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --remove-port=80/tcp --permanent success [root@rhel7 ~]# firewall-cmd --reload success [root@rhel7 ~]# iptables-save | grep 80 [root@rhel7 ~]#Adding & Blocking IP Addresses
To add specific IP address (192.168.0.254) to trusted public zone, use the following command.After adding above rule, don’t forget to list all the trusted public zone rules.To remove any added rule, just replace the ‘–add-rich-rule‘ with remove ‘–remove-rich-rule‘ as show in below command.
