To get how many packets processed by each rule, you can use the -v flag: $ iptables -L -vĪlso, you can reset the counters to zero using -Z flag. You can list all rules for all chains like this: $ iptables -L -n -line-numbers The above rule will make the listing faster because it prevents iptables from DNS resolution and service lookups. You can show port numbers instead using -n option: $ iptables -L INPUT -n -line-numbers The list shows the names of the services. You can create a custom chain to save your rules on it. The filter table contains FORWARD, INPUT, and OUTPUT chains. The third table is the mangle table for mangling packets.Įach table of the tables mentioned above contains chains these chains are the container of the rules of iptables. The second is the nat table, which handles NAT rules. The iptables filter table is the main table for processing the traffic. Netfilter has three tables that can carry rules for processing. The iptables command manages and configures Netfilter.īefore we start writing firewall commands, we need to understand the firewall structure a bit so we can write firewall rules easily. Netfilter can process incoming or outgoing traffic using the IP address and port number. The actions can be: accept, reject, ignore, or pass the packet on to other rules for more processing. If a packet matches any rule, the iptables will apply the rule action to that packet. These tables contain chains, and chains contain individual rules. Stateful firewall this type of firewall cares about all packets passed through it, so it knows the state of the connection.
Stateless firewall process each packet on its own, it means it doesn’t see other packets of the same connection. Iptables firewall functions are built on the Netfilter framework that is available in the Linux kernel for packets filtering. Then you can start it: $ systemctl start iptables Then install iptables service and enable it: $ yum install iptables-services If you are using CentOS 7, you will find that firewalld manages iptables, so if you want to go back to iptables, you have to stop and mask firewalld.
