15.2 Firewall configuration

RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX WS 4 has a firewall package inside. You can activate

and configure it during installation (see chapter 9.1) or in the running system.

Note that for acquisition the ethernet card for spectrometer control has not to be

restricted by the firewall! For this it is strongly recommended to free the ethernet

card after activating the firewall (see below)!

The rules for the firewall, checked and executed during boot time, are stored in the

file

: /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config

The rules in this file are:

• defined during installation (see chapter 9.1)

• added manually (see troubleshooting, chapter 12.3.1.2)

• added manually by using a graphical user interface (see the next chapter)
