Hello guys,
stumbled on weird thing today - wanted to setup some iptables rules
based on 'mac address' and iptables failed to start.
cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 7.4 (Nitrogen)
iptables --version
iptables v1.4.21
yum list all | grep iptables
iptables.x86_64 1.4.21-18.2.el7_4
@sl-fastbugs
iptables-services.x86_64 1.4.21-18.2.el7_4
@sl-fastbugs
iptables-utils.x86_64 1.4.21-18.2.el7_4
@sl-fastbugs
what happens:
after adding simple rule to '/etc/sysconfig/iptables':
*filter
-A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 52-54-00-6f-04-51 -j ACCEPT
it refuses to start after 'systemctl restart iptables' and the
'journalctl -xe' says:
Error occurred at line: XX and thats' it
If i add the same simple rule to the SL 6.9 iptables rules, it works
without problem..
Anyone stumled upon this, only thing i can think of is, that it is not
compiled in standard kernel ..
Thanks for any input - i tried to lookup things at search engines, but
so far no light ..ehh.
