firewall-cmd Command Examples

The firewalld command-line client. View and adapt the runtime or permanent firewall configuration state. More information: https://firewalld.org/documentation/man-pages/firewall-cmd.

• View all available firewall zones and rules in their runtime configuration state:

firewall-cmd --list-all-zones

• Permanently move the interface into the block zone, effectively blocking all communication:

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone={{block}} --change-interface={{enp1s0}}

• Permanently open the port for a service in the specified zone (like port 443 when in the public zone):

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone={{public}} --add-service={{https}}

• Permanently close the port for a service in the specified zone (like port 80 when in the public zone):

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone={{public}} --remove-service={{http}}

• Permanently forward a port for incoming packets in the specified zone (like port 443 to 8443 when entering the public zone):

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone={{public}} --add-rich-rule='rule family="{{ipv4|ipv6}}" forward-port port="{{443}}" protocol="{{udp|tcp}}" to-port="{{8443}}"'

• Reload firewalld to lose any runtime changes and force the permanent configuration to take effect immediately:

firewall-cmd --reload

• Save the runtime configuration state to the permanent configuration:

firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

• Enable panic mode in case of Emergency. All traffic is dropped, any active connection will be terminated:

firewall-cmd --panic-on
