Red Hat Training
A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
3.3.3. Configuring the iptables Firewall to Allow Cluster Components
Listed below are example iptable rules for enabling IP ports needed by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (with High Availability Add-on). Please note that these examples use 192.168.1.0/24 as a subnet, but you will need to replace 192.168.1.0/24 with the appropriate subnet if you use these rules.
For
cman (Cluster Manager), use the following filtering.
$iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -m multiport -p udp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dports 5404,5405 -j ACCEPT$iptables -I INPUT -m addrtype --dst-type MULTICAST -m state --state NEW -m multiport -p udp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dports 5404,5405 -j ACCEPT
For
dlm (Distributed Lock Manager):
$ iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 21064 -j ACCEPT
For
ricci (part of Conga remote agent):
$ iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 11111 -j ACCEPT
For
modclusterd (part of Conga remote agent):
$ iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 16851 -j ACCEPT
For
luci (Conga User Interface server):
$ iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 8084 -j ACCEPT
For
igmp (Internet Group Management Protocol):
$ iptables -I INPUT -p igmp -j ACCEPT
After executing these commands, enter the following command to save the current configuration for the changes to be persistent during reboot.
$ service iptables save ; service iptables restart
