Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

firewall-cmd added support in firewalld-0.4.1 for the ability to populate an ipset from a file. In firewalld-0.4.3.2 that command is broken:
# firewall-cmd --version
0.4.3.2
# firewall-cmd --permanent --ipset=blacklist --add-entries-from-file=ip-blacklist.conf

--- Additional comment from Thomas Woerner on 2016-08-08 11:18:01 EDT ---
The fist part has been fixed upstream for firewall-cmd: https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/commit/04f5c99e5a8d82f490deeccf643a7a84941d2f7c
and firewall-offline-cmd: https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/commit/495a1a527f03e12195ec6334a21eb7ba3924a6e8
But the second part is not correct. The option --new-ipset-from-file= requires a valid ipset xml file (see firewalld.ipset(5)) with the ipset settings like type.
