I have a CentOS 7 computer, which originally uses iptables
as its firewall configuration tool.
The computer has a docker container that listens to port 10079
.
I want to use firewalld
to replace iptables
.
Both firewalld
and iptables
run outside of the docker container. I don't run them inside the container.
So I run the following commands
$ systemctl stop iptables
# disable iptables so that it doesn't start at next system reboot.
$ systemctl disable iptables
$ systemctl start firewalld
$ systemctl enable firewalld
$ firewall-cmd --list-services
dhcpv6-client ssh
As you can see from the output firewall-cmd --list-services
command, I only have ssh
, and dhcpv6-client
services enabled.
However, one thing that I feel strange is that I can still access the server through port 10079
.
I thought that the rules of the chains of the iptables
would become invalid after running systemctl stop iptables
command.
But I was wrong. Because I can still access a service on the computer through port 10079.
Why can I still access port 10079
after running systemctl stop iptables
command?
Here're the status of iptables
and firewalld
$ systemctl status iptables

It looks like that firewalld
is started correctly, and iptables
has been disabled.
Here's the content of the /var/log/firewalld

The log content contains a lot of warnings about docker. Maybe this problem has something to do with docker.
Here's my current iptables setting.
