firewall-cmd(1)
NAME
firewall-cmd - firewalld command line client
SYNOPSIS
firewall-cmd [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
firewall-cmd is the command line client of the firewalld daemon. It provides interface to manage runtime and permanent configuration. The runtime configuration in firewalld is separated from the permanent configuration. This means that things can get changed in the runtime or permanent configuration.
OPTIONS
For sequence options, this are the options that can be specified
multiple times, the exit code is 0 if there is at least one item that
succeded. The ALREADY_ENABLED (11), NOT_ENABLED (12) and also
ZONE_ALREADY_SET (16) errors are treated as succeeded. If there are
issues while parsing the items, then these are treated as warnings and
will not change the result as long as there is a succeeded one. Without
any succeeded item, the exit code will depend on the error codes. If
there is exactly one error code, then this is used. If there are more
than one then UNKNOWN_ERROR (254) will be used.
The following options are supported:
General Options
-h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
-V, --version
Print the version string of firewalld. This option is not
combinable with other options.
-q, --quiet
Do not print status messages.
Status Options
--state
Check whether the firewalld daemon is active (i.e. running).
Returns an exit code 0 if it is active, NOT_RUNNING otherwise (see
the section called "EXIT CODES"). This will also print the state to
STDOUT.
--reload
Reload firewall rules and keep state information. Current permanent
configuration will become new runtime configuration, i.e. all
runtime only changes done until reload are lost with reload if they
have not been also in permanent configuration.
--complete-reload
Reload firewall completely, even netfilter kernel modules. This
will most likely terminate active connections, because state
information is lost. This option should only be used in case of
severe firewall problems. For example if there are state
information problems that no connection can be established with
correct firewall rules.
--runtime-to-permanent
Save active runtime configuration and overwrite permanent
configuration with it. The way this is supposed to work is that
when configuring firewalld you do runtime changes only and once
you're happy with the configuration and you tested that it works
the way you want, you save the configuration to disk.
Log Denied Options
--get-log-denied
Print the log denied setting.
--set-log-denied=value
Add logging rules right before reject and drop rules in the INPUT,
FORWARD and OUTPUT chains for the default rules and also final
reject and drop rules in zones for the configured link-layer packet
type. The possible values are: all, unicast, broadcast, multicast
and off. The default setting is off, which disables the logging.
This is a runtime and permanent change and will also reload the
firewall to be able to add the logging rules.
Automatic Helpers Options
--get-automatic-helpers
Print the automatic helpers setting.
--set-automatic-helpers=value
For the secure use of iptables and connection tracking helpers it
is recommended to turn AutomaticHelpers off. But this might have
side effects on other services using the netfilter helpers as the
sysctl setting in /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper will
be changed. With the system setting, the default value set in the
kernel or with sysctl will be used. Possible values are: yes, no
and system. The default value is system.
This is a runtime and permanent change and will also reload the
firewall to be able to make the helpers usable.
Permanent Options
--permanent
The permanent option --permanent can be used to set options
permanently. These changes are not effective immediately, only
after service restart/reload or system reboot. Without the
--permanent option, a change will only be part of the runtime
configuration.
If you want to make a change in runtime and permanent
configuration, use the same call with and without the --permanent
option.
The --permanent option can be optionally added to all options
further down where it is supported.
Zone Options
--get-default-zone
Print default zone for connections and interfaces.
--set-default-zone=zone
Set default zone for connections and interfaces where no zone has
been selected. Setting the default zone changes the zone for the
connections or interfaces, that are using the default zone.
This is a runtime and permanent change.
--get-active-zones
Print currently active zones altogether with interfaces and sources
used in these zones. Active zones are zones, that have a binding to
an interface or source. The output format is:
zone1
interfaces: interface1 interface2 ..
sources: source1 ..
zone2
interfaces: interface3 ..
zone3
sources: source2 ..
If there are no interfaces or sources bound to the zone, the
corresponding line will be omitted.
[--permanent] --get-zones

[--permanent] --get-services
Print predefined services as a space separated list.
[--permanent] --get-icmptypes
Print predefined icmptypes as a space separated list.

Options to Handle Bindings of Interfaces
Binding an interface to a zone means that this zone settings are used
to restrict traffic via the interface.
Options in this section affect only one particular zone. If used with
--zone=zone option, they affect the zone zone. If the option is
omitted, they affect default zone (see --get-default-zone).
For a list of predefined zones use firewall-cmd --get-zones.
An interface name is a string up to 16 characters long, that may not
contain ' ', '/', '!' and '*'.
[--permanent] [--zone=zone] --list-interfaces
List interfaces that are bound to zone zone as a space separated
list. If zone is omitted, default zone will be used.
[--permanent] [--zone=zone] --add-interface=interface
Bind interface interface to zone zone. If zone is omitted, default
zone will be used.
If the interface is under control of NetworkManager, it is at first
connected to change the zone for the connection that is using the
interface. If this fails, the zone binding is created in firewalld
and the limitations below apply. For interfaces that are not under
control of NetworkManager, firewalld tries to change the ZONE
setting in the ifcfg file, if the file exists.
As a end user you don't need this in most cases, because
NetworkManager (or legacy network service) adds interfaces into
zones automatically (according to ZONE= option from ifcfg-interface
file) if NM_CONTROLLED=no is not set. You should do it only if
there's no /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-interface file. If
there is such file and you add interface to zone with this
--add-interface option, make sure the zone is the same in both
cases, otherwise the behaviour would be undefined. Please also have
a look at the firewalld(1) man page in the Concepts section. For
permanent association of interface with a zone, see also 'How to
set or change a zone for a connection?' in firewalld.zones(5).
[--zone=zone] --change-interface=interface
If the interface is under control of NetworkManager, it is at first
connected to change the zone for the connection that is using the
interface. If this fails, the zone binding is created in firewalld
and the limitations below apply. For interfaces that are not under
control of NetworkManager, firewalld tries to change the ZONE
setting in the ifcfg file, if the file exists.
Change zone the interface interface is bound to to zone zone. It's
basically --remove-interface followed by --add-interface. If the
interface has not been bound to a zone before, it behaves like
--add-interface. If zone is omitted, default zone will be used.
[--permanent] [--zone=zone] --query-interface=interface
Query whether interface interface is bound to zone zone. Returns 0
if true, 1 otherwise.
[--permanent] --remove-interface=interface
If the interface is under control of NetworkManager, it is at first
connected to change the zone for the connection that is using the
interface. If this fails, the zone binding is created in firewalld
and the limitations below apply.
For the addion or change of interfaces that are not under control
of NetworkManager: firewalld tries to change the ZONE setting in
the ifcfg file, if an ifcfg file exists that is using the
interface.
Only for the removal of interfaces that are not under control of
NetworkManager: firewalld is not trying to change the ZONE setting
in the ifcfg file. This is needed to make sure that an ifdown of
the interface will not result in a reset of the zone setting to the
default zone. Only the zone binding is then removed in firewalld
then.
Remove binding of interface interface from zone it was previously
added to.
Options to Handle Bindings of Sources
Binding a source to a zone means that this zone settings will be used
to restrict traffic from this source.
A source address or address range is either an IP address or a network
IP address with a mask for IPv4 or IPv6 or a MAC address or an ipset
with the ipset: prefix. For IPv4, the mask can be a network mask or a
plain number. For IPv6 the mask is a plain number. The use of host
names is not supported.
Options in this section affect only one particular zone. If used with
--zone=zone option, they affect the zone zone. If the option is
omitted, they affect default zone (see --get-default-zone).
For a list of predefined zones use firewall-cmd [--permanent]
--get-zones.
[--permanent] [--zone=zone] --list-sources
List sources that are bound to zone zone as a space separated list.
If zone is omitted, default zone will be used.
[--permanent] [--zone=zone] --add-source=source[/mask]|MAC|ipset:ipset
Bind the source to zone zone. If zone is omitted, default zone will
be used.
[--zone=zone] --change-source=source[/mask]|MAC|ipset:ipset
Change zone the source is bound to to zone zone. It's basically
--remove-source followed by --add-source. If the source has not
been bound to a zone before, it behaves like --add-source. If zone
is omitted, default zone will be used.
[--permanent] [--zone=zone]
--query-source=source[/mask]|MAC|ipset:ipset
Query whether the source is bound to the zone zone. Returns 0 if
true, 1 otherwise.

--permanent --icmptype=icmptype --get-destinations
List destinations in permanent icmptype.
--permanent --path-icmptype=icmptype

Direct Options
The direct options give a more direct access to the firewall. These
options require user to know basic iptables concepts, i.e. table
(filter/mangle/nat/...), chain (INPUT/OUTPUT/FORWARD/...), commands
(-A/-D/-I/...), parameters (-p/-s/-d/-j/...) and targets
(ACCEPT/DROP/REJECT/...).
Direct options should be used only as a last resort when it's not
possible to use for example --add-service=service or
--add-rich-rule='rule'.
The first argument of each option has to be ipv4 or ipv6 or eb. With
ipv4 it will be for IPv4 (iptables(8)), with ipv6 for IPv6
(ip6tables(8)) and with eb for ethernet bridges (ebtables(8)).
[--permanent] --direct --get-all-chains
Get all chains added to all tables. This option concerns only
chains previously added with --direct --add-chain.
[--permanent] --direct --get-chains { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table
Get all chains added to table table as a space separated list. This
option concerns only chains previously added with --direct
--add-chain.
[--permanent] --direct --add-chain { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
Add a new chain with name chain to table table. Make sure there's
no other chain with this name already.
There already exist basic chains to use with direct options, for
example INPUT_direct chain (see iptables-save | grep direct output
for all of them). These chains are jumped into before chains for
zones, i.e. every rule put into INPUT_direct will be checked before
rules in zones.
[--permanent] --direct --remove-chain { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
Remove chain with name chain from table table. Only chains
previously added with --direct --add-chain can be removed this way.
[--permanent] --direct --query-chain { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
Return whether a chain with name chain exists in table table.
Returns 0 if true, 1 otherwise. This option concerns only chains
previously added with --direct --add-chain.
[--permanent] --direct --get-all-rules
Get all rules added to all chains in all tables as a newline
separated list of the priority and arguments. This option concerns
only rules previously added with --direct --add-rule.
[--permanent] --direct --get-rules { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
Get all rules added to chain chain in table table as a newline
separated list of the priority and arguments. This option concerns
only rules previously added with --direct --add-rule.
[--permanent] --direct --add-rule { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
priority args
Add a rule with the arguments args to chain chain in table table
with priority priority.
The priority is used to order rules. Priority 0 means add rule on
top of the chain, with a higher priority the rule will be added
further down. Rules with the same priority are on the same level
and the order of these rules is not fixed and may change. If you
want to make sure that a rule will be added after another one, use
a low priority for the first and a higher for the following.
[--permanent] --direct --remove-rule { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
priority args
Remove a rule with priority and the arguments args from chain chain
in table table. Only rules previously added with --direct
--add-rule can be removed this way.
[--permanent] --direct --remove-rules { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
Remove all rules in the chain with name chain exists in table
table. This option concerns only rules previously added with
--direct --add-rule in this chain.
[--permanent] --direct --query-rule { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } table chain
priority args
Return whether a rule with priority and the arguments args exists
in chain chain in table table. Returns 0 if true, 1 otherwise. This
option concerns only rules previously added with --direct
--add-rule.
--direct --passthrough { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } args
Pass a command through to the firewall. args can be all iptables,
ip6tables and ebtables command line arguments. This command is
untracked, which means that firewalld is not able to provide
information about this command later on, also not a listing of the
untracked passthoughs.
[--permanent] --direct --get-all-passthroughs
Get all passthrough rules as a newline separated list of the ipv
value and arguments.
[--permanent] --direct --get-passthroughs { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb }
Get all passthrough rules for the ipv value as a newline separated
list of the priority and arguments.
[--permanent] --direct --add-passthrough { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } args
Add a passthrough rule with the arguments args for the ipv value.
[--permanent] --direct --remove-passthrough { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } args
Remove a passthrough rule with the arguments args for the ipv
value.
[--permanent] --direct --query-passthrough { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } args
Return whether a passthrough rule with the arguments args exists
for the ipv value. Returns 0 if true, 1 otherwise.
Lockdown Options
Local applications or services are able to change the firewall
configuration if they are running as root (example: libvirt) or are
authenticated using PolicyKit. With this feature administrators can
lock the firewall configuration so that only applications on lockdown
whitelist are able to request firewall changes.
The lockdown access check limits D-Bus methods that are changing
firewall rules. Query, list and get methods are not limited.
The lockdown feature is a very light version of user and application
policies for firewalld and is turned off by default.
--lockdown-on
Enable lockdown. Be careful - if firewall-cmd is not on lockdown
whitelist when you enable lockdown you won't be able to disable it
again with firewall-cmd, you would need to edit firewalld.conf.
This is a runtime and permanent change.
--lockdown-off
Disable lockdown.
This is a runtime and permanent change.
--query-lockdown
Query whether lockdown is enabled. Returns 0 if lockdown is
enabled, 1 otherwise.
Lockdown Whitelist Options
The lockdown whitelist can contain commands, contexts, users and user
ids.
If a command entry on the whitelist ends with an asterisk '*', then all
command lines starting with the command will match. If the '*' is not
there the absolute command inclusive arguments must match.
Commands for user root and others is not always the same. Example: As
root /bin/firewall-cmd is used, as a normal user /usr/bin/firewall-cmd
is be used on Fedora.
The context is the security (SELinux) context of a running application
or service. To get the context of a running application use ps -e
--context.
Warning: If the context is unconfined, then this will open access for
more than the desired application.
The lockdown whitelist entries are checked in the following order:
1. context
2. uid
3. user
4. command
[--permanent] --list-lockdown-whitelist-commands
List all command lines that are on the whitelist.
[--permanent] --add-lockdown-whitelist-command=command
Add the command to the whitelist.
[--permanent] --remove-lockdown-whitelist-command=command
Remove the command from the whitelist.
[--permanent] --query-lockdown-whitelist-command=command
Query whether the command is on the whitelist. Returns 0 if true, 1
otherwise.
[--permanent] --list-lockdown-whitelist-contexts
List all contexts that are on the whitelist.
[--permanent] --add-lockdown-whitelist-context=context
Add the context context to the whitelist.
[--permanent] --remove-lockdown-whitelist-context=context
Remove the context from the whitelist.
[--permanent] --query-lockdown-whitelist-context=context
Query whether the context is on the whitelist. Returns 0 if true, 1
otherwise.
[--permanent] --list-lockdown-whitelist-uids
List all user ids that are on the whitelist.
[--permanent] --add-lockdown-whitelist-uid=uid
Add the user id uid to the whitelist.
[--permanent] --remove-lockdown-whitelist-uid=uid
Remove the user id uid from the whitelist.
[--permanent] --query-lockdown-whitelist-uid=uid
Query whether the user id uid is on the whitelist. Returns 0 if
true, 1 otherwise.
[--permanent] --list-lockdown-whitelist-users
List all user names that are on the whitelist.
[--permanent] --add-lockdown-whitelist-user=user
Add the user name user to the whitelist.
[--permanent] --remove-lockdown-whitelist-user=user
Remove the user name user from the whitelist.
[--permanent] --query-lockdown-whitelist-user=user
Query whether the user name user is on the whitelist. Returns 0 if
true, 1 otherwise.
Panic Options
--panic-on
Enable panic mode. All incoming and outgoing packets are dropped,
active connections will expire. Enable this only if there are
serious problems with your network environment. For example if the
machine is getting hacked in.
This is a runtime only change.
--panic-off
Disable panic mode. After disabling panic mode established
connections might work again, if panic mode was enabled for a short
period of time.
This is a runtime only change.
--query-panic
Returns 0 if panic mode is enabled, 1 otherwise.
EXAMPLES
For more examples see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD
Example 1
Enable http service in default zone. This is runtime only change, i.e.
effective until restart.
firewall-cmd --add-service=http
Example 2
Enable port 443/tcp immediately and permanently in default zone. To
make the change effective immediately and also after restart we need
two commands. The first command makes the change in runtime
configuration, i.e. makes it effective immediately, until restart. The
second command makes the change in permanent configuration, i.e. makes
it effective after restart.
firewall-cmd --add-port=443/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
EXIT CODES
On success 0 is returned. On failure the output is red colored and exit code is either 2 in case of wrong command-line option usage or one of the following error codes in other cases: String Code ALREADY_ENABLED 11 NOT_ENABLED 12 COMMAND_FAILED 13 NO_IPV6_NAT 14 PANIC_MODE 15 ZONE_ALREADY_SET 16 UNKNOWN_INTERFACE 17 ZONE_CONFLICT 18 BUILTIN_CHAIN 19 EBTABLES_NO_REJECT 20 NOT_OVERLOADABLE 21 NO_DEFAULTS 22 BUILTIN_ZONE 23 BUILTIN_SERVICE 24 BUILTIN_ICMPTYPE 25 NAME_CONFLICT 26 NAME_MISMATCH 27 PARSE_ERROR 28 ACCESS_DENIED 29 UNKNOWN_SOURCE 30 RT_TO_PERM_FAILED 31 IPSET_WITH_TIMEOUT 32 BUILTIN_IPSET 33 ALREADY_SET 34 MISSING_IMPORT 35 DBUS_ERROR 36 BUILTIN_HELPER 37 INVALID_ACTION 100 INVALID_SERVICE 101 INVALID_PORT 102 INVALID_PROTOCOL 103 INVALID_INTERFACE 104 INVALID_ADDR 105 INVALID_FORWARD 106 INVALID_ICMPTYPE 107 INVALID_TABLE 108 INVALID_CHAIN 109 INVALID_TARGET 110 INVALID_IPV 111 INVALID_ZONE 112 INVALID_PROPERTY 113 INVALID_VALUE 114 INVALID_OBJECT 115 INVALID_NAME 116 INVALID_FILENAME 117 INVALID_DIRECTORY 118 INVALID_TYPE 119 INVALID_SETTING 120 INVALID_DESTINATION 121 INVALID_RULE 122 INVALID_LIMIT 123 INVALID_FAMILY 124 INVALID_LOG_LEVEL 125 INVALID_AUDIT_TYPE 126 INVALID_MARK 127 INVALID_CONTEXT 128 INVALID_COMMAND 129 INVALID_USER 130 INVALID_UID 131 INVALID_MODULE 132 INVALID_PASSTHROUGH 133 INVALID_MAC 134 INVALID_IPSET 135 INVALID_ENTRY 136 INVALID_OPTION 137 INVALID_HELPER 138 MISSING_TABLE 200 MISSING_CHAIN 201 MISSING_PORT 202 MISSING_PROTOCOL 203 MISSING_ADDR 204 MISSING_NAME 205 MISSING_SETTING 206 MISSING_FAMILY 207 NOT_RUNNING 252 NOT_AUTHORIZED 253 UNKNOWN_ERROR 254
