firewalld not listing any active zones?

  • 772

When running

[root@host ~]# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
[root@host ~]#
[root@host ~]# firewall-cmd --get-default-zone
public

I am not getting any active zones. How can I activate a zone?

firewalld

  1. Best Answer

    You activate a zone by binding a network interface or source IP address range(s) to it. Any firewall rules in the zone then apply to that network interface or IP address range(s).

  2. On a similar case, I took a peek with strace and realized, that FirewallD had somehow lost D-Bus access completely.

    The easiest fix was to reboot the Linux. That helped and FirewallD saw active zones again.

  3. I had the same question, except I had definitely had an interface in a zone. For me I had to restart the firewalld service.
