Default IPTables Configuaration for HSphere

Below is a ‘template’ firewall for a single server HSphere install

Notes:
192.168.1.1 is the example base IP address of the server, You need to change this
192.168.1.2 is *your* IP address. You *must* change this otherwise you’ll lock yourself out of the server.
This example would be saved to file /etc/sysconfig/iptables
You need to load the ip_conntrack_ftp module into the kernel when iptables is started. You add this module name in /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables
Change;
IPTABLES_MODULES=””
To;
IPTABLES_MODULES=”ip_conntrack_ftp”
