I have a query with iptables configuration, the sample /etc/sysconfig/iptables file has the contents as below:
__________________________________________________________________________________
# Generated by iptables-save v1.3.5 on Sat Dec 21 17:42:48 2013
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [395486230:305451389171]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [242867802:405321956718]
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 5667 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT
COMMIT
__________________________________________________________________________________
What if I want to add 2 more below rules to the configuration as -
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 5668 –j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 5669 –j ACCEPT
Can the above 2 rules be added by editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables using vim editor and the iptables service restarted as
service iptables restart
Would editing the /etc/sysconfig/iptables using vim editor add the rules to the iptables configuration?
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards
