Required Network Ports |- Procedure 1.1 |- B Describe the issue: In the section A of the procedure mentioned above, there is information about how to check if the firewall is running or not. But this information is not provided for RHEL 7 FirewallD as this service is different some of the customers can be confused. Suggestions for improvement: Add similar section for the RHEL7 FirewallD Make sure the firewalld service is started and enabled: # systemctl start firewalld # systemctl enable firewalld # systemctl start firewalld status # firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon # Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled) # Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2015-08-26 08:58:25 CEST; 23min ago # Main PID: 582 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) # CGroup: /system.slice/firewalld.service Commands: 1) start the service 2) enable the service during boot 3) example of status when the service is enabled Additional information:
Thank you for raising this bug
Hi Marcel, Thank you for raising this bug. Instructions on how to set up the firewall on RHEL 7 systems using firewall-cmd are now available in the Satellite 6.2 documentation in locations such as the following - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/single/installation-guide#enabling_client_connections_to_satellite Work on the Satellite documentation is currently focusing on the 6.2 version, so we do not have any plans to backport this content at current. I will close this bug for now, but please let us know if you have any further concerns. Kind regards, Andrew
