NAME
iptable-restore - Restore IP Tables
ip6table-restore - Restore IPv6 Tables
SYNOPSIS
iptables-restore [ -chntvV] [ -w seconds]
[ -M modprobe] [ -T name]
[ file]
ip6tables-restore [ -chntvV] [ -w seconds]
[ -M modprobe] [ -T name]
[ file]
DESCRIPTION
iptable-restore
and
ip6table-restore
are used to restore IP and IPv6 Tables from data specified on STDIN or in
file. Use I/O redirection provided by your shell to read from a file or
specify file as an argument.
- -c, --counters
-
Restore the values of all packet and byte counters.
- -h, --help
-
Print a short option summary.
- -n, --noflush
-
Don't flush the previous contents of the table. If not specified,
both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the respective table.
Note that this option will flush use-defined chains if they are declared.
Example:
*filter
:FILTERS- [0:0]-A FILTERS ...
will flush and r-build the FILTERS chain from scratch,
while retaining the content of all other chains in the table.
- -t, --test
-
Only parse and construct the ruleset, but do not commit it.
- -v, --verbose
-
Print additional debug info during ruleset processing.
Specify multiple times to increase debug level.
- -V, --version
-
Print the program version number.
- -w, --wait [seconds]
-
Wait for the xtables lock.
To prevent multiple instances of the program from running concurrently,
an attempt will be made to obtain an exclusive lock at launch. By default,
the program will exit if the lock cannot be obtained. This option will
make the program wait (indefinitely or for optional seconds) until
the exclusive lock can be obtained.
- -M, --modprobe modprobe
-
Specify the path to the modprobe(8) program. By default,
iptable-restore will inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to
determine the executable's path.
- -T, --table name
-
Restore only the named table even if the input stream contains other ones.
