Installing and Configuring HP-UX IPFilter
Step 5: Loading IPFilter and NAT Rules
Chapter 1 11
• Flush rules from your ruleset using the -Fa option of the ipf
command:
ipf -Fa
The -Fa option flushes previously configured rules. The -A option
specifies the active rules list. For example:
ipf -Fa -A -f /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf
The previous command flushes the previously configured rules,
specifies /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf as the active rules file, and loads
the rules in /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf for immediate use.
Optionally, use the -I option if you do not want to save previously
configured rules. This command adds rules to the inactive rule list.
For example:
ipf -I -Fa -A -f /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf
This command enables the new rules. The -I option swaps the active
rules you just configured with the inactive rules. To make the old
rules effective again, use ipf -s to swap the rulesets.
The -Fi command flushes only the IN rules in the specified rules file.
For example:
ipf -Fi /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf
The -Fo command flushes only the IN rules in the specified rules file.
For example:
ipf -Fo /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf
Removing IPFilter Rules
If necessary, the following command can be used to remove different
rules files:
ipf -r -f
<delete_rule_file>
This command can be executed while IPFilter is running.
