salt.states.iptables

Management of iptables

This is an iptables-specific module designed to manage Linux firewalls. It is expected that this state module, and other system-specific firewall states, may at some point be deprecated in favor of a more generic firewall state.

Note

Various functions of the iptables module use the --check option. If the version of iptables on the target system does not include this option, an alternate version of this check will be performed using the output of iptables-save. This may have unintended consequences on legacy releases of iptables.

salt.states.iptables.append(name, table='filter', family='ipv4', **kwargs)

New in version 0.17.0.

Append a rule to a chain
