Customer states they are running into the same exact issue as the following bug, except on RHEL 7.2


Bug 1163428 - rich rule with destination and no element 


Customer Comment:
----------------------------------------------------------

I am seeing the same issue as described by this unresolved Fedora bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1163428). 
It occurs with newer firewalld packges (firewalld-0.3.9-14.el7.noarch). 
I get the same issue when I attempt to create a rich rule with destination address but no protocol/port it gives error:

ERROR: INVALID_RULE: no element, no source

Also, when using a source AND destination address but no protocol/port I get:

Error: INVALID_RULE: destination action

Firstly, the error messages provide no useful information about the problem. Secondly, I would like to understand why a port and/or protocol are required in these scenarios. I think it is a perfectly logical use-case to allow all traffic (protocols) coming into a particular interface/address. Furthermore, "all" is not a valid selection for the protocol, why?

Not urgent but would like to understand the function better and possibly get it fixed to be more intuitive.
