第 10 章 Configuring firewalld by using RHEL system roles


RHEL system roles is a set of contents for the Ansible automation utility. This content together with the Ansible automation utility provides a consistent configuration interface to remotely manage multiple systems at once.

The rhel-system-roles package contains the rhel-system-roles.firewall RHEL system role. This role was introduced for automated configurations of the firewalld service.

With the firewall RHEL system role you can configure many different firewalld parameters, for example:

  • Zones
  • The services for which packets should be allowed
  • Granting, rejection, or dropping of traffic access to ports
  • Forwarding of ports or port ranges for a zone

The firewall RHEL system role supports automating a reset of firewalld settings to their defaults. This efficiently removes insecure or unintentional firewall rules and simplifies management.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Create a playbook file, for example, ~/playbook.yml, with the following content:

    ---
    - name: Reset firewalld example
      hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
      tasks:
        - name: Reset firewalld
          ansible.builtin.include_role:
            name: redhat.rhel_system_roles.firewall
          vars:
            firewall:
              - previous: replaced

    The settings specified in the example playbook include the following:

    previous: replaced

    Removes all existing user-defined settings and resets the firewalld settings to defaults. If you combine the previous:replaced parameter with other settings, the firewall role removes all existing settings before applying new ones.

    For details about all variables used in the playbook, see the /usr/share/ansible/roles/rhel-system-roles.firewall/README.md file on the control node.

  2. Validate the playbook syntax:

    $ ansible-playbook --syntax-check ~/playbook.yml

    Note that this command only validates the syntax and does not protect against a wrong but valid configuration.

  3. Run the playbook:

    $ ansible-playbook ~/playbook.yml

Verification

  • Run this command on the control node to remotely check that all firewall configuration on your managed node was reset to its default values:

    # ansible managed-node-01.example.com -m ansible.builtin.command -a 'firewall-cmd --list-all-zones'
