NAME

       firewalld - Dynamic Firewall Manager

SYNOPSIS

       firewalld [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       firewalld provides a dynamically managed firewall with support for network/firewall zones to define the trust level of network connections
       or interfaces. It has support for IPv4, IPv6 firewall settings and for ethernet bridges and has a separation of runtime and permanent
       configuration options. It also supports an interface for services or applications to add firewall rules directly.

OPTIONS

       These are the command line options of firewalld:

       -h, --help
	   Prints a short help text and exists.

       --debug[=level]
	   Set the debug level for firewalld to level. The range of the debug level is 1 (lowest level) to 10 (highest level). The debug output
	   will be written to the firewalld log file /var/log/firewalld.

       --debug-gc
	   Print garbage collector leak information. The collector runs every 10 seconds and if there are leaks, it prints information about the
	   leaks.

       --nofork
	   Turn off daemon forking. Force firewalld to run as a foreground process instead of as a daemon in the background.

       --nopid
	   Disable writing pid file. By default the program will write a pid file. If the program is invoked with this option it will not check
	   for an existing server process.

CONCEPTS

       firewalld has a D-BUS interface for firewall configuration of services and applications. It also has a command line client for the user.
       Services or applications already using D-BUS can request changes to the firewall with the D-BUS interface directly. For more information on
       the firewalld D-BUS interface, please have a look at firewalld.dbus(5).

       firewalld provides support for zones, predefined services and ICMP types and has a separation of runtime and permanent configuration
       options. Permanent configuration is loaded from XML files in /usr/lib/firewalld or /etc/firewalld (see the section called "DIRECTORIES").

       If NetworkManager is not used, there are some limitations: firewalld will not get notified about network device renames. If firewalld gets
       started after the network is already up, the connections are not bound to a zone. Manually created interfaces are not bound to a zone.
       Please add them to a zone with firewall-cmd --zone=zone --add-interface=interface.

   Zones
       A network or firewall zone defines the trust level of the interface used for a connection. There are several pre-defined zones provided by
       firewalld. Zone configuration options and generic information about zones are described in firewalld.zone(5)

   Services
       A service can be a list of local ports and destinations and additionally also a list of firewall helper modules automatically loaded if a
       service is enabled. Service configuration options and generic information about services are described in firewalld.service(5). The use of
       predefined services makes it easier for the user to enable and disable access to a service.

   ICMP types
       The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to exchange information and also error messages in the Internet Protocol (IP). ICMP
       types can be used in firewalld to limit the exchange of these messages. For more information, please have a look at firewalld.icmptype(5).

   Runtime configuration
       Runtime configuration is the actual active configuration and is not permanent. After reload/restart of the service or a system reboot,
       runtime settings will be gone if they haven't been also in permanent configuration.

   Permanent configuration
       The permanent configuration is stored in config files and will be loaded and become new runtime configuration with every machine boot or
       service reload/restart.

   Direct interface
       The direct interface is mainly used by services or applications to add specific firewall rules. The rules are not permanent and need to get
       applied after receiving the start, restart or reload message from firewalld using D-BUS.

DIRECTORIES

       firewalld supports two configuration directories:

   Default/Fallback configuration in /usr/lib/firewalld
       This directory contains the default and fallback configuration provided by firewalld for icmptypes, services and zones. The files provided
       with the firewalld package should not get changed and the changes are gone with an update of the firewalld package. Additional icmptypes,
       services and zones can be provided with packages or by creating files.

   System configuration settings in /etc/firewalld
       The system or user configuration stored here is either created by the system administrator or by customization with the configuration
       interface of firewalld or by hand. The files will overload the default configuration files.

       To manually change settings of pre-defined icmptypes, zones or services, copy the file from the default configuration directory to the
       corresponding directory in the system configuration directory and change it accordingly.

       For more information on icmptypes, please have a look at the firewalld.icmptype(5) man page, for services at firewalld.service(5) and for
       zones at firewalld.zone(5).

SIGNALS

       Currently only SIGHUP is supported.

   SIGHUP
       Reloads the complete firewall configuration. You can also use firewall-cmd --reload. All runtime configuration settings will be restored.
       Permanent configuration will change according to options defined in the configuration files.
