problem opening TCP ports
Please can somebody help me. I'm trying to open ports 999, 1982 and 1983 but am not having much luck. I used
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 999 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 1982 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 1983 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
to open the ports but haven't been successful. I was told to make sure that your server TCP ports: 999, 1982, 1983 are fully open inbound and outbound and that destination IP address for those ports is 72.232.181.106.
I've been trying for ages to get these ports open, but haven't had any luck.
This is the first time I've ever used a dedicated server and I am very new to all of this so I in advance for lack of knowledge
Thanks

Hi guys,
I need to open ports on my AIX machine. The only way I know is to use service name to disable or enable ports which are used by the services. I found in /etc/services that the ports are unidentified. Btw, I want to open port number 11576 and 11577. Need help on this one. Thanks! :) (1 Reply)

iptables-xml
IPTABLES-XML(8) IPTABLES-XML(8)
NAME
iptables-xml -- Convert iptables-save format to XML
SYNOPSIS
iptables-xml [-c] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
iptables-xml is used to convert the output of iptables-save into an easily manipulatable XML format to STDOUT. Use I/O-redirection pro-
vided by your shell to write to a file.
-c, --combine
combine consecutive rules with the same matches but different targets. iptables does not currently support more than one target per
match, so this simulates that by collecting the targets from consecutive iptables rules into one action tag, but only when the rule
matches are identical. Terminating actions like RETURN, DROP, ACCEPT and QUEUE are not combined with subsequent targets.
-v, --verbose
Output xml comments containing the iptables line from which the XML is derived
iptables-xml does a mechanistic conversion to a very expressive xml format; the only semantic considerations are for -g and -j targets in
order to discriminate between <call> <goto> and <nane-of-target> as it helps xml processing scripts if they can tell the difference between
a target like SNAT and another chain.
Some sample output is:
<iptables-rules>
<table name="mangle">
<chain name="PREROUTING" policy="ACCEPT" packet-count="63436" byte-count="7137573">
<rule>
<conditions>
<match>
<p>tcp</p>
</match>
<tcp>
<sport>8443</sport>
</tcp>
</conditions>
<actions>
<call>
<check_ip/>
</call>
<ACCEPT/>
</actions>
</rule>
</chain>
</table> </iptables-rules>
Conversion from XML to iptables-save format may be done using the iptables.xslt script and xsltproc, or a custom program using libxsltproc
or similar; in this fashion:
xsltproc iptables.xslt my-iptables.xml | iptables-restore
BUGS
None known as of iptables-1.3.7 release
