Permanent

The permanent options are not affecting runtime directly. These options are only available after a reload or restart. To have runtime and permanent setting, you need to supply both. The –permanent option needs to be the first option for all permanent calls.

panic mode

Enable panic
firewa­ll-cmd --enab­le-­panic
Disable panic mode
firewa­ll-cmd --disa­ble­-panic
Query panic mode
firewa­ll-cmd --quer­y-panic
Block all network traffic in case of emergency

Disable masque­rading in a zone
firewa­ll-cmd [--zon­e=<­zon­e>] --remo­ve-­mas­querade
Query masque­rading in a zone
firewa­ll-cmd [--zon­e=<­zon­e>] --quer­y-m­asq­uerade

Direct options

Pass a command through to the firewall. <ar­gs> can be all iptables, ip6tables and ebtables command line arguments
firewa­ll-cmd --direct --pass­through { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ar­gs>
Add a new chain <ch­ain> to a table <ta­ble­>.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --add-­chain { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble> <ch­ain>
Remove a chain with name <ch­ain> from table <ta­ble­>.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --remo­ve-­chain { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble> <ch­ain>
Query if a chain with name <ch­ain> exists in table <ta­ble­>. Returns 0 if true, 1 otherwise.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --quer­y-chain { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble> <ch­ain>
Get all chains added to table <ta­ble> as a space separated list.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --get-­chains { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble>
Add a rule with the arguments <ar­gs> to chain <ch­ain> in table <ta­ble> with priority <pr­ior­ity­>.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --add-rule { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble> <ch­ain> <pr­ior­ity> <ar­gs>
Remove a rule with the arguments <ar­gs> from chain <ch­ain> in table <ta­ble­>.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --remo­ve-rule { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble> <ch­ain> <ar­gs>
Query if a rule with the arguments <ar­gs> exists in chain <ch­ain> in table <ta­ble­>. Returns 0 if true, 1 otherwise.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --quer­y-rule { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble> <ch­ain> <ar­gs>
Get all rules added to chain <ch­ain> in table <ta­ble> as a newline separated list of arguments.
firewa­ll-cmd [--per­manent] --direct --get-­rules { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <ta­ble> <ch­ain>
The direct options give a more direct access to the firewall. These options require user to know basic iptables concepts.
