It is available but not installed by default, you will have to install it and stop and disable firewalld.
and this done by which shell command? (as I have nearly no knowledge about systemd)
in C6 I'd do
chkconfig iptables on chkconfig ip6tables on service iptables start service ip6tables start
iptables itself is to the bast of my knowledge still part of the standard install. You want to: yum install iptables-services systemctl disable firewalld systemctl stop firewalld systemctl enable iptabpes systemctl enable ip6tables systemctl start iptables systemctl start ip6tables
But unless you need some fancy stuff in the firewall, I would recommend to simply use firewalld and use the graphical firewall-config to manage it (or firewall-cmd if you do not have a graphical env.)
