Add Exclusions to the Firewall using Firewalld

Create Firewall Service Profile for Networker

[root@CYRIL services]# cat /etc/firewalld/services/Networker.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<service> 
 <short>Networker</short> 
 <description>Networker Ports for EBS Backup</description> 
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7935"/> 
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7936"/>
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7937"/>
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7938"/>
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7939"/>
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7940"/>
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7941"/>
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7942"/> 
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7943"/> 
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7944"/>
 <port protocol="tcp" port="7945"/>
 <port protocol="udp" port="7938"/>
</service>

Reset permissions on the new service profile

restorecon /etc/firewalld/services/Networker.xml

chmod 640 /etc/firewalld/services/Networker.xml

Create “Rich” firewall rules for IPs from EBS Servers

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.20" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.21" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.22" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.23" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.24" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.25" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.26" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.27" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.27.15.28" service name="Networker" accept'
firewall-cmd --reload
firewall-cmd --list-all

Set EBS client to use correct ports

EBS clients should be configured to listen for traffic from the above range of servers on the following ports:

nsrports -S 7937-7945

  7938/UDP
  7937-7945/TCP

Add Backup Servers to the NSR config file

# vi /nsr/res/servers

mkdir -r /nsr/res

vi /nsr/res/servers

backupserver.mytechdocs.test

Enable Automatic Start of Agent on Reboot

systemctl enable networker

systemctl start networker

Create Exclusions if you have any
