Thank you, I have put my firewall rules into /etc/sysconfig/iptables: *filter :INPUT DROP [0:0] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [294:35064] -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -m multiport --dports 25,80,443,8080 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m limit --limit 2/min --limit-burst 1 -j ACCEPT COMMIT Then issued the commands (there was no firewalld installed): # yum install iptables-services # systemctl enable iptables # systemctl start iptables And it seems to work well now Regards Alex On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 3:29 PM, Marcelo Roccasalva < marcelo-centos at irrigacion.gov.ar> wrote: > On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 9:57 AM, Alexander Farber < > alexander.farber at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/chap-Managing_Services_with_systemd.html > > > > I try to enable iptables with following commands: > > > > # cat /etc/centos-release > > CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) > > > > # rpm -qa | grep iptables > > iptables-1.4.21-16.el7.x86_64 > > > > you need iptables-services rpm (and disable/remove firewalld) >
