.SH NAME
|
|
iptables-apply \- a safer way to update iptables remotely
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBiptables\-apply\fP [\-\fBhV\fP] [\fB-t\fP \fItimeout\fP] \fIruleset\-file\fP
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
iptables\-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by
|
|
iptables\-save/read by iptables\-restore) to iptables, then prompt the
|
|
user whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing
|
|
connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In this
|
|
case, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout
|
|
expired. The timeout can be set with \fB\-t\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When called as ip6tables\-apply, the script will use
|
|
ip6tables\-save/\-restore instead.
