To add a so called rich rule to firewalld I did the following.
Check existing rules after a recent upgrade to Fedora 22. 55555/tcp was a custom app not Fedora default.
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate" title="">
# firewall-cmd --get-default-zone
FedoraServer
# firewall-cmd --zone=FedoraServer --list-all
FedoraServer (default)
interfaces:
sources:
services: cockpit dhcpv6-client http smtp ssh
ports: 55555/tcp
masquerade: no
forward-ports:
icmp-blocks:
rich rules:
Lets remove some rules.
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate" title="">
# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=FedoraServer --remove-port=55555/tcp
success
# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=FedoraServer --remove-service=cockpit
success
# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=FedoraServer --remove-service=dhcpv6-client
success
Add custom rule non-permanent.
** Note x.x.x.x is a placeholder for a real public IP. Most likely you won't need a public IP but a non-routable Class C or B on your internal network.
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate" title="">
# firewall-cmd --zone=FedoraServer --add-rich-rule="rule family="ipv4" source address="x.x.x.x/32" port protocol="tcp" port="55555" accept"
success
Or if you need it permanently added remember to use --permanent.
Restart the firewall.
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate" title="">
# systemctl restart firewalld.service
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate" title="">
# firewall-cmd --zone=FedoraServer --list-all
FedoraServer (default)
interfaces:
sources:
services: http smtp ssh

rich rules:
