Description
What Are Policy Sets?
Policy sets are collections of policies that serve as starting configuration for specific use cases, e.g. a home router. They provide an easy way to get started. Users may then fine tune the configuration for their environment. Every policy set has a dedicated man page to explain its use case.All policy sets shipped by firewalld are administratively disabled by default. Using them is a matter of adding your interfaces to zones and removing the disable.
Enabling a Policy Set
Below is a complete example for using the gateway policy set. In this example: eth0 is the LAN interface, and eth1 is the uplink to the internet.# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone internal eth0 # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone external eth1 # firewall-cmd --permanent --policy-set gateway --remove-disable # firewall-cmd --reload
Existing Policy Sets
